At the Paradise Ranch Retreat, you'll enjoy the flexibility and convenience of having two separate residences:

The Moose Horn Lodge and The Trout House

Both are beautifully decorated, immaculately clean cedar log homes in Montana’s majestic Paradise Valley! We are on the doorstep of Yellowstone National Park (Gardner entrance is 35 miles South) and just a short drive south of historic downtown Livingston, Montana. The homes boast a large 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 Moose Horn Lodge at Paradise Ranch Retreat features welcoming Western decor throughout 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, and a spacious, open living and dining area. An inviting gas fireplace and a large smart TV, make this a comfortable retreat for six. The proud Montana native owners live in nearby Bozeman and regularly update household items including comfy cozy bedding, cookware, linens, and towels.

In the living area, you can snuggle up on the inviting couch and two oversized recliners, next to the gas fireplace and enjoy the breathtaking view of Emigrant Peak. Pass the time bird and wildlife watching with the binoculars! Or, enjoy YouTube TV or your favorite streaming service on the large smart TV.

Partial walls separate the kitchen and dining room from the living area, making it an ideal entertainment space! Cook your favorite Montana recipes in our well-appointed kitchen - complete with a refrigerator, freezer, stove, oven, microwave, dishwasher, coffee maker, toaster, cookware, Western-themed dinnerware, flatware, and glassware.

There is plenty of room for all in our dining area! Enjoy your meals, play a game, or share your adventure stories and photos at our beautiful wooden table featuring seating for six. The kitchen island has a bar with three matching wooden chairs for extra seating.

Enjoy the majestic mountain views from each of the three bedrooms. Every bedroom features custom-made log bed frames with comfortable bedding (updated regularly), bedside tables with Western decor lamps, closets, luggage racks, and wooden wardrobes.

Two full bathrooms provide all the comforts of home including fresh towels, hair dryers, shampoo, conditioner, and body wash. One of the two full bathrooms hosts the washer and dryer and has plenty of room for you to wash and fold laundry.

Outdoor, we feature a covered front porch where you can enjoy your morning coffee or evening cocktails amongst the glorious Montana views. The mountain sunrises and sunsets will astound you. Use the outdoor grill and BBQ to host your cookout on the spacious lawn adjacent to Paradise Ranch Retreat's Trout House (a separate home that sleeps 6).

The Trout House features two bedrooms- one with a beautifully framed queen-sized bed and one with a charming full (bottom)/twin (top) bunk bed that kids will adore! They will feel like they're in a Yellowstone cabin!

The vaulted ceilings, high windows, and mountain views enhance your comfort in this home. The living room features a welcoming stone gas fireplace, a large smart TV, and comfortable seating. Look for the locally discovered fossils, shells, and petrified wood hidden throughout the stonework of the inviting gas fireplace! A full sleeper sofa is available in the living room; an ideal alternative sleeping arrangement for a second adult party. A fully equipped kitchen and a full bathroom with a washer and dryer provide all the comforts of home.

A small bar top with two stools separates the living room from the meticulously clean and fully equipped kitchen with a refrigerator, freezer, stove, oven, microwave, coffee maker, toaster, cookware, dinnerware, flatware, and glassware.

Outdoor, the Trout House hosts a propane BBQ grill and a large patio – perfect for enjoying the fresh Montana air! In addition, on the spacious lawn surrounding both residences, you can enjoy many traditional lawn games such as cornhole and Connect 4 or Stargaze without the reflections of bright city lights. On a clear, night in at Paradise Ranch Retreat, the stargazing is pure magic.

This property features easy local access to the Yellowstone River, which flows just across the highway from the homes. Walk to or drive down the access road just across from Paradise Ranch Retreat, or launch your boat at Grey Owl Fishing Access Site- just a mile up Highway 89!

Great Experience
This is a beautiful property and we loved it! Both homes were immaculately clean and beautifully furnished. The weather was warm and beautiful and we enjoyed the outdoors as well. There were lawn games provided and a very well manicured lawn. The children and adults in our group enjoyed the porch and lawn immensely. We will definitely come back for our next visit to Livingston. Tanya was very communicative and our concerns were her concerns. Very enjoyable stay!!

The main cabin where we stayed is very roomy and nicely decorated. It’s a great location if you want to go to Yellowstone Park, Livingston, and Bozeman! It had everything we needed in a house for cooking etc. I highly recommended it!!! Plenty of towels, a really large washing machine and dryer, nice dishes and glasses, large bedrooms, with a large walkin closet in the main room, large refrigerator and more. Everything was great!!!!

The larger house was in great shape and very well maintained. However, in the smaller building the bathroom smells like urine very strongly and there are tons of huge flies everywhere, especially in all the window sills. We struggled with getting the TV to stay on as well. The bedding in the main room smells unclean/ unwashed

Perfect Family Getaway
My family stayed here to celebrate my sisters graduation from MSU. It was wonderful staying in the “middle of nowhere” after being in the city all day. We loved the home and enjoyed a few days out in the yard with a beautiful scenery around us. It’s a perfect location if you love a good view without being too far from town.

Holiday getaway
I have a large family, when I found this rental, we were thrilled. We rented both the cabins on the property, and everyone had more than enough space. I was nervous about being so close to the highway, but we were pleasantly surprised to find there wasn’t road noise. Centrally located, we made trips to Chico and Yellowstone hot springs. Such a great trip. Very comfortable cabin.

Summer Family Vacation
My husband and I brought our three daughters and their spouses to Montana for a vacation this summer. Your property was perfect for our family of 8 and it is in a great location. We started each day by having coffee on the porch in the morning. We spent a day at Yellowstone National Park, spent a rainy afternoon at Chico Hot Springs, went horseback riding at the Stermitz Ranch and rented a rafts from Rubber Ducky River Rentals to float down the Yellowstone River. Thank you for the excellent recommendations in your book.

Peace in the Valley
This was a perfect place for eight adults to reunite for a much needed vacation. The cabins were comfortable, well stocked, and clean. The location in Paradise Valley provided glorious sunsets, rainbows, and starry nights. We explored the heights and depths of Yellowstone, the Beartooth Highway, and Galatin Canyon on some days, while hiking and fly fishing locally to our hearts' content.The days were warm and the evenings cool. We are grateful for the privilege of staying in such a welcoming and beautiful place.
