This Airbnb is in a prime central location of the Greater Yellowstone Area, in the famous Paradise Valley. It’s just a 25 minute drive to the reopened Northern entrance of Yellowstone National Park and situated on the same route from the Belgrade Airport.

The Gallatin National Forest is in view from the house, there are many trails and recreational sites throughout Paradise Valley into the National Forest.

There are usually horses around the property, quite often right outside the window.

There are also two friendly large dogs on the property as well, they may greet you during your stay.

10 minute drive to Chico Hot springs (which also has a spa, bar and two restaurants).

Boat ramps are located along hwy 89, there is a popular ramp just five minutes down the road. You can fish the Yellowstone River two minutes down the road at a pullout, south of the property.
Horseback riding is a popular activity in the area, we know many outfitters that we can recommend (including ourselves).
The nights are dark and full of stars here in big sky country, enjoy your evening in the backyard roasting marshmallows on the fire pit.
Guest access
Guests have access to two parking spots, Airbnb, front and back yard of Airbnb but are not to cross any fence.
Guests do not have access to the garage or the main residence on the back of the property up the driveway from the Airbnb. The yard surrounding the main residence is also not available to guests.
We do not recommend venturing up the bluffs behind the Airbnb, there may be rattle snakes.

***WINTER GUESTS:
In the snowy winter months (especially February and March) we highly recommend four wheel drive, if not all wheel drive vehicles. Snow drifts can occur on roads and on the driveway. The trucks come to plow, however in heavy wind storms it is hard for them to keep up. This Airbnb experiences true Montana winters! 😉
