Beautiful Mountain Views with Trout Creek Frontage! Ten Miles from Yellowstone!

LET ME KNOW UPON BOOKING. IF YOU ARE A HEALTHCARE WORKER, FIRST RESPONDER OR TEACHER WE WILL OFFER 5% RENT DISCOUNT. THANK YOU FOR ALL YOU HAVE DONE AND CONTINUE TO DO.

Yellowstone Bar B Bunkhouse offers the best of all worlds. It is easily accessible by car yet distanced from highway 89 enough to be completely quiet and serene. It is a peaceful setting with beautiful views of breathtaking mountains and a beautiful native cutthroat trout stream running right through your backyard. Bordering the property to the north and south are wide open grassy pastures which are home to our cow herd whose lineage goes back on this place over a hundred years. You may often see a horse frequent by in the summer. The property has walking or horseback access to the Gallatin National Forest (located only a quarter mile to the east of the house) and the 900,000 acre Absaroka Beartooth Wilderness. This Wilderness abuts the 2.2 million acre Yellowstone National Park. It is a huge expanse of wild land. A quarter mile to the west is the free flowing Yellowstone River. Yellowstone National Park is an extremely scenic ten minute drive away.
The home is spacious and comfortable. It is a 4 bedroom 3 bath home. There is also the Yellowstone Cabin available for your use (May 15 - hard frost (late Sept). It is a one room cabin with a double bed and a half bath. It is originally a cabin from Yellowstone and aside from adding the bathroom, it has been left in its original condition. You pay no extra for it and are free to use it if you wish. It is rustic, but really cute. Guests last summer loved it. The property has a beautiful grass lawn with flower beds and bordered by native vegetation and shade trees. There are two decks. The front deck gets the morning sun and is a spectacular setting to enjoy your morning coffee. The back deck is always shaded by beautiful, large cottonwood trees and overlooks Cedar Creek. There is a one car attached garage for your use.
Wildlife frequents the area often. You may see elk, deer, mountain sheep, coyotes, wolves, raccoons and the ever present entertaining squirrels on the deck. It is a birdwatchers heaven from chickadees and sparrows to eagles, cranes and herons. If you are a winter guest, you may also see buffalo from your living room window.
There are endless activities in the greater Yellowstone area. You could spend a lifetime here and not see and experience all it has to offer. Yellowstone National Park offers gorgeous scenery, geysers, bubbling mud, hot springs, wildlife viewing, hiking, fishing, horseback riding, western cookouts, stagecoach rides, boating, guided fish boats on Lake Yellowstone, and many educational opportunities. Boiling Hot Springs, located between Gardiner and Mammoth,is a hot springs where soaking is permitted. It is a unique experience and definitely worth exploring.
The Greater Yellowstone area offers spectacular whitewater rafting, fishing, guided river trips, horseback riding, camping, park tours, souvenir gift shops, restaurants, bar and grills, swimming, biking, hunting and hiking. Bozeman’s Gallatin Field is located 70 miles away.
There is plenty to do right from your Bar B door as well. Two miles east of the house is the historic OTO dude ranch, Montana’s first dude ranch. This is a beautiful, fairly easy hike up a gravel road to the remnants of the dude ranch. The lodge and cabins have been restored to their original condition and you are free to walk around and in them or picnic on the deck.
Cedar Creek, which runs behind the house is closed to fishing as it is a native spawning stream for Yellowstone Cutthroat Trout. We are, however, only a quarter mile from the Yellowstone River which offers spectacular fishing with plenty of access through fishing accesses and high water lines. The spawning cutthroat in Cedar Creek can be seen from the bridge behind the house during July. There are also rainbow and brown trout in the creek.
This is a super location for hunters to base from as well as a comfortable place to come home to after a long day of hunting. There is hunting within walking distance from the house. There is ample Forest Service land in the area for big game hunting during the archery season or general season. We often hear elk bugling at night from our bedroom windows.

Awesome place to stay and so close to Yellowstone

Wonderful place to stay and so close to Yellowstone. The house was spacious yet cozy. The kitchen had everything we needed. It was very clean and well taken care of. The decor was so cute with a Western theme which is exactly what we were looking for. The settling was gorgeous. We played in the creek and enjoyed the few pits. And the host was super! We would absolutely go back!

Beautiful and Comfortable Montana Stay

Great location, and the house was cozy, warm, and inviting! The kitchen and bathroom were well-stocked with everything we needed. When the fire alarm started beeping, we sent the owner a quick text, and they came right over to replace the batteries. Fantastic service and an overall wonderful stay!

We had a fantastic stay at this spacious and charming home! With plenty of room and bathrooms for our group of 10, it was the perfect setup for a family getaway. The views were stunning, and the private, secluded setting made it feel like our own little slice of Montana paradise.The kids had a blast exploring the creek out back hunting for rocks while I took full advantage of a refreshing cold plunge. The fire pit and bunk beds were also big hits, especially for evening s’mores. The home was incredibly well stocked with everything we needed, and the decor struck a perfect balance of charm and education, reflecting the beauty and history of the area. We especially loved sipping coffee by the picture window and watching rabbits hop through the yard each morning.Its location made day trips to Yellowstone, Livingston, and Bozeman easy and convenient, and seeing the original Yellowstone cabin on the property was a memorable bonus. Highly recommend for anyone looking for comfort, nature, and a true Montana experience!
