About this property

Blackhawks Nest · Cozy tiny house retreat with breathtaking views!

  • About this space
    If you are traveling to experience the beauty and majesty of Montana while you explore Yellowstone and Paradise Valley, look no further than this quiet, clean and beautiful place. Sleeping for 4, stunning views of the mountains in 360 degrees, and the peaceful tranquility of being away from it all. There is not a full kitchen , but we have a gas grill outside, microwave, tea kettle, mini fridge, purified water, coffee pot, and an outdoor fire pit.

    The space
    Blackhawk's Nest is an affordable lodging option for those adventurous travelers looking for a simple, peaceful place to stay in the heart of Paradise Valley while experiencing Montana & Yellowstone National Park.
    Our studio type unit can sleep up to 5 people, ideal for 3-4 adults or a 5 person family with children. This is an open floor-plan European tiny house accommodation. It is off the beaten-path with nothing but big starry Montana skies.

    This clean, cozy, and quiet cabin is ideal for those who want to enjoy the serene and unparalleled beauty of Montana, from an affordable base-camp - exploring, eating their way through the local restaurants and ending their day by soaking up the memories of their day with a bonfire, under the milky way stars.

    The NEST ACCOMMODATIONS:
    Newly remodeled tiny house adjacent to an additional vacation rental property on the same acreage. Streamlined and efficiently designed features throughout. The center-piece to this darling cabin is the bunk bed (full size on bottom, twin on top). There's an additional sleeping loft with 2 more twin beds. We ask that children not access or sleep in the loft! A nice clean full bathroom with a shower and fresh clean towels and linens for all beds. There is not a full kitchen, but you will enjoy a table and chairs for morning coffee, microwave, basic utensils & dish-ware, a purified water hot & cold dispenser for those backpacker basics & light meals. Magnificent views abound in 360 degrees on the private deck, with gas grill, fire pit area with 4 Adirondack chairs, and yard games.

    The Cabin can accommodate up to 5 people with all linens, towels, basic amenities and kitchen basics provided. Pet considered with approval and $50 fee.

    LOCATION:
    Smack-dab in the middle of stunning Paradise Valley (half way between Livingston and the north gates of Yellowstone National Park)- you will experience beauty in all directions; from the expansive valley and rising mountains of the Absaroka Beartooth Mountains to the East, the Gallatin Mountains to the West and South, and you can even see the Crazy Mountains to the North. For a true Montana experience, you won't find better views than this special spot. The home sits on 20 acres with private undeveloped land. Wildlife is common here - mainly deer, pronghorn and elk. Beautiful night skies with abundant stars are guaranteed!

    41 Miles to Gardiner (39 miles on paved road), 41 miles to the Bozeman Airport, and 17 miles (27 minutes) the heart of historic downtown Livingston.

    DISCLAIMER: The gravel road into the property is only 3.2 miles from the turn off on Highway 89, but do be prepared to slow it down on some dusty & bumpy gravel "back roads driving" roads, as you'd anticipate in Montana, the last best place! The road is very bumpy.

    There is a keybox on the side of the cabin for self check-in and check-out.

    Garbage service is not available at this location, there are several places nearby to dispose of your bagged garbage, a map will be provided.

Blackhawks Nest was an absolute joy to stay at! This place seems like a tiny shed from the outside, but the pictures don’t do it justice. We were amazed at how big it was on the inside! My wife, son, and I had awesome views of the Montana skyline and would definitely consider staying here again if we were in the area! We were able to easily get to Yellowstone in under an hour each day of our stay. There is a great local town about a 10-15 minute drive away, which was great for grocery shopping. Be sure to pick up some firewood for the firepit! The drive to the property off the main road was the only thing we didn’t like about our stay. However, with that said, we were made aware numerous times from the property owner and were already expecting it. It takes around 15 minutes to go through final 3 miles, but the drive, though bumpy, was full of great views, local homes and animals, and many of the holes could be avoided. All in all, this property is an outstanding value! If you’re looking for great views of the Montana skyline and mountains all around, this is the place for you. You CANNOT beat the price!

I expected this, so no problem.This place met my expectations and was clean.

Beautiful Mountain Views

We stayed 2 nights while we explored the north part of Yellowstone. The cabin is very functional & had some nice amenities such as robes, coffee & the firepit area. Do not leave the front door even cracked at night when the lights inside are on or you’ll get bug-infested! Also….the drive to the cabin is down very long, rutted, gravel roads. We were glad we had a Jeep. You won’t be close to any conveniences so be sure you’re stocked up before you arrive. The views from this cabin are exceptional! We were in awe of the mountains, stars & the warm gentle evening winds.

Great private, peaceful location

Blackhawk’s Nest was exactly as specified in pictures. It was very comfortable , and surprisingly roomy with a standard size/larger than we expected bathroom. The drive to theNest is about 3 miles from the main road... you’ll drive by horses, some cows, and might see wild rabbits hopping along. We would stay there again.

INCREDIBLE!

This VRBO is a hidden gem. I've stayed in several all over the country and this one was by far the most beautiful! Absolutely loved the bathroom products, and the attention to details throughout the cabin. The fire pit and stargazing at night were absolutely gorgeous. Every morning, the mountain views were so beautiful! The owner was friendly and gave me excellent recommendations for local food and breweries! I will be staying here again! Excellent VRBO!

Although re-reading the ad was clear, the property is nearly an hour from the park. That drive proved a bit stressful. The roads to the property are horrible. Horrible. The property itself fine...no problems. We would have like a TV; we spent every evening at the property..

The cabin and the location was great. plenty of beds, hot and cold water. I would warn people that it is a pretty bumpy 3 mile dirt road to get in to property but it is worth it for the views. I had a few issues while there. if you need good wifi bring a hotspot, the wifi is real spotty. I was told after the fact by the host that "it's rural?" not overly happy with that as I work remotely. The first night the heater didn't work and it it was below freezing. the host trouble shot the unit but to no avail. I went to the nearest walmart and grabbed a sleeping bag and pj's. the host did say afterwards that if i had said it was urgent they would have sent someone out that night, I believe if i say the heaters broken and its below freezing just send someone out, here we agree to disagree. other than that, very nice isolated get away in a beautiful big valley.

Nice accommodations - ROUGH Road

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very unhappy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The house was nice and Paradise Valley is beautiful. The road from the highway to the property was TERRIBLE. Not something the property managers could do something about but a warning for your stay. We were on motorcycles and I seriously considered staying somewhere else second night, even though we'd paid for it. The circle drive is inconvenient with the other house parking in the middle of it and no room to drive through. Nice enough little house - but wouldn't recommend to fellow bikers, at least. Not sure I'd want to drive my Sequoia down that road, let alone bikes.
