Enjoy easy access to this welcoming, very clean cedar log home in Montana’s majestic Paradise Valley! We are on the doorstep of Yellowstone National Park and just a short drive south of historic downtown Livingston, Montana. The home boasts a well-manicured lawn with mature trees, fantastic views of Emigrant Peak (el. 10,926 feet), and access to Yellowstone River and its exceptional fishing and abundant recreation opportunities. The home features two bedrooms- one with a beautifully framed queen-sized bed and one with charming full/twin bunk beds that kids will adore! A fully furnished kitchen and a full bathroom with a washer and dryer provide all of the comforts of home. The living room features a welcoming stone gas fireplace, a large smart TV, and comfortable seating. A full sleeper sofa is available in the living room; an ideal alternative sleeping arrangement for a second adult party. Look for the locally discovered fossils, shells, and petrified wood hidden throughout the stonework of the inviting gas fireplace! The vaulted ceilings, high windows, and mountain views enhance your comfort in this home. A small bar top with two stools separates the living room from the meticulously clean and fully supplied kitchen complete with a refrigerator, freezer, stove, oven, microwave, regular coffee maker, toaster, and cookware, dinnerware, flatware, and glassware. Outdoor, the Trout House hosts a propane BBQ grill. Host your cookout on the spacious lawn adjacent to Paradise Ranch Retreat’s Moose Horn Lodge (a separate home that sleeps 6), which is available to rent with the Trout House. To book both the Moose Horn Lodge and Trout House, check VRBO listing #1527716. Note that this listing is to reserve the Trout House only - perfect for groups up to 6 people. The proud Montana native owners regularly update household items, including comfy-cozy bedding, cookware, linens, and towels.

The place was cozy, comfortable, and peaceful. Having an early coffee next to the fireplace was relaxing. Views were gorgeous and right by the yellowstone river. Nice little place down the road with tasty ribs and brisket. Jennifer was very accommodating. We will be back again!

We had an amazing time here, and the location was perfect! The beds were extremely comfortable, which is super important to us after a long day of sightseeing and fishing. We will definitely be back to stay at one of the two properties Jennifer has. Great host, very responsive and extremely helpful if anything is needed.

We enjoyed our stay at the trout house. Jennifer was very responsive to any questions we had. The location was beautiful and close to Emigrant. Highly recommend the BBQ place and bakery in town as both were excellent. Would definitely stay here again if we come back through the area!

We reached out to Jennifer very last minute as we were heading out of the Beartooth Wilderness from a week long backpacking trip. She responded super quick and was able to provide accommodations within just a few hours. She continued to communicate until we arrived and got into the place with no issues. She also responded promptly once we let her know we had left. The Trout house was perfect, beautifully decorated. Beds were super comfortable, plenty of space will definitely reserve again if I return to this area.
