Restful and quiet
We’ve stayed here many times to the point where I’ve lost track. It rained for most of the time but we soaked at Chico and also had a wonderful meal at their dining room. We watched movies and read a lot. We also prepared our own meals using the fully stocked kitchen. A new addition was the the wifi, which I was grateful for as I was able to monitor my home and greenhouse remotely. Had it been nicer weather, we would have hiked up to Emigrant Creek Falls. We’ve also taken our bikes several times when the weather was nicer and biked over to the hot springs and up to the falls. Absolutely stunning property and amazing Paradise Valley!

The cabin was very rustic, but had all the amenities needed to make it a great place to stay. Bryan was super friendly, he stopped by to make sure everything was going good during the stay. And was always available to answer our questions.

Another Good Christmas
This is my second time staying in this cabin. I had family staying in Chico, and it is the perfect spot to be a part of that togetherness, but have my own little spot in the mountains at the same time. The weather was crazy cold during my stay, but Bryan went out of his way to make sure all was well and I stayed warm. It is hard to ask for a more cozy get away or a prettier spot. Thanks for another great stay!

Remote Hideaway
The cabin is very hidden away for privacy. Unfortunately it was too far from the open entrances to Yellowstone so we opted not to stay. There were also ants in the kitchen so you wouldn't want to leave food on the counter.

Wonderful secluded getaway
This was a sweet little secluded getaway. It was so nice to hear the creek that runs along the side of the cabin. Really felt nestled in the woods. It was unseasonably warm during our stay so the cabin did get a bit uncomfortable by 3:00 to 6:00. Cooled off nicely in the evening once the sun was down. The North entrance to Yellowstone was closed to vehicle traffic so we went to the west entrance. About 2.5 hour drive but was a beautiful drive! Loved the time in West Yellowstone. Would stay again.

We enjoyed our stay here! We loved the location and enjoyed the surrounding areas, unfortunately the north entrance to Yellowstone was closed so we had to check out a day early to go to the West Entrance and we decided to spend our last night there.

Well furnished cabin close to Chico
The cabin is well furnished and comfortable. Check in and check out were simple. It's a short drive on a dirt road from Chico. The cabin is easy to find. Just be sure to follow the directions that Bryan provides, and you will have no problem. Enjoyed the quiet nights with the sound of the nearby creek.

Exceeded Expectation
Loved the experience of remoteness without having to get there in a high-clearance vehicle. Impressed by the craftsmanlike use of reclaimed wood throughout the interior space. Larger on the inside than you might think based on the pictures. Recommend the 2-mile hike up Emigrant Creek Road to the waterfall. Yes, the creek really does roar and there really are fish. Easy to get a glimpse of the mountains that surround Paradise Valley, especially at sunrise or sunset. Bryan was happy to respond to questions both online and in person.

We came for our honeymoon and didn't want to leave. The area is more beautiful than Ywllowstone itself, and we ended up enjoying exploring the surrounding area more than the National Parks. The cabin is quaint and cozy.

Cozy cabin
Cozy place in a beautiful part of the world. The cabin was very clean and comfortable, and Bryan was quick and clear in his communications. No wi-fi, but there was good 5G cell service so that wasn't a problem. Potential guests should be aware that the cabin requires driving on a gravel road for a couple of miles - not a problem if you take it slow.

Cabin was very clean, cozy, and quiet. We were basically only there to sleep as we were in Yellowstone the rest of our visit, but we would definitely come back. We left some bear spray in case someone needed is since we couldn’t fly back with it.

Beautiful mountain getaway!
Our stay in Pray, MT., was excellent! The cabin was very secluded and the perfect basecamp to explore Yellowstone and surrounding area. The creek running along the road outside of the property was relaxing and we really enjoyed the 2-mile hike to see the beautiful waterfall that runs into. The drive into Gardiner/Yellowstone was an easy 30 minutes and the mountains are just breathtaking! Very comfortable cabin, bed, amenities. Definitely give 5-stars and highly recommend!

Don’t Judge A Book By It’s Cover
The Chico house was comfortable w/a spacious living area & a nice view of the mountains. The decor seemed newer, definitely clean & well supplied. I say all of this bc we were concerned when we finally found the house (very remote & a long gravel road). The outside is unkempt & run down & our first impression was “Surely this is not our place.” We were relieved when we got inside.

This is a cabin in the mountains of Montana, it is cozy, warm, clean, comfortable, well stocked, and very affordable. The yard is native grasses, yarrow, chamomile, wheat grass and other vegetation that the deer and rabbits enjoy it is not manicured.

Great off the grid location
Bryan's cabin is perfect for a couple looking to unplug & getaway, but still be close to all that the Yellowstone area has to offer. On cool mornings, with the windows open on each end of the cabin, it's tough to leave the with the crisp mountain air flowing through the bedroom & living area. So peaceful!

Comfortable stay, great to explore Yellowstone!
Bryan was very communicative and pleasant, which gave us a good feeling going in. The property was clean, comfortable, and cool despite the warm weather. We didn’t spend a ton of time in property since we were mainly using it to explore Yellowstone and some of the surrounding area. The nearby Chico Hot Springs meant that pub food and a night out were close by, if desired. Overall, perfect for what we needed. Thanks, Bryan!
