This stunning river front property is located on East River Road south of Six Mile Creek & Daily Lake right in the heart of Paradise Valley. The 7.64 ares is accessed through a gated entry and gravel road that flanks the Yellowstone River. A boat launch up river from the house makes putting in and taking off the river in a boat a luxury.

Boasting more than a quarter mile of unobstructed river frontage, the spacious cabin offers world-class fly fishing, panoramic mountain views of the Absaroka Range, Emigrant Peak, and endless recreational opportunities. The cabin is just 4 miles from Chico Hot Springs, 30 miles from Livingston and 20 miles from the North entrance of Yellowstone National Park.

The home itself is a gorgeous custom log home crafted from large native pines. The cabin is fully furnished with close attention paid to every detail. Jaw-dropping views from every window- giving truly memorable and unique Montana experiences with every moment. The floor plan is ideal for 2 large families or larger groups and comfortably sleeps 15 people! There are 2 spacious bedroom lofts on each second floor wing, separated by a great room and oversized dining area and flat screen tv. The master loft/room contains a king bed, a twin bed, a full private bath and a cozy secondary loft (The Tree House) with a queen memory foam mattress accessible by ladder (Kids love it!). The secondary loft on the other wing contains a queen bed, 4 twin beds and a full bath. The cabin offers the spectacular River Room with a queen bed surrounded by windows on 3 sides overlooking the Yellowstone River. Additionally, there is a bunk room (with TV) with 2 twin beds and a futon sofa right off of the great room. The open plan kitchen and dining area have wood floors throughout, creating the perfect atmosphere for entertaining and gathering in a very nice, but relaxed way.

The home is very family friendly with kids' toys and areas to play.

There is a huge, wrap-around deck overlooking the Yellowstone River and the entire property. Newly installed deck with railings, solar lights and a propane firepit ensure you will be just as happy outside enjoying the views as anywhere! Ample seating and lounge chairs for the whole group! Just beyond the deck area are horseshoe pit and private path to the river and private boat dock. A meandering path connects the deck to the banks of your own 1/4 mile private stretch of the Yellowstone River for endless hours of blue ribbon fishing, floating and playing!

Garbage service is not available at this location, there are several places nearby to dispose of your bagged garbage, a map will be provided.

A 4wd vehicle is recommended for accessing all the area has to offer - to get to trailheads, boat ramps and general off the beaten path roads.

UC River Ranch in aptly named Paradise Valley is a great jumping off point to explore Yellowstone National Park or the Rocky Mountain West; alternatively it can be a warm and welcoming place of luxury that quickly becomes your favorite Montana hideaway. Regardless, you will be surrounded by the the beauty and serenity of the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem - a true national treasure.

UC River Ranch is approximately 55 minutes from the Bozeman International Airport. 19 minutes from Livingston. 25 minutes to Gardiner (the north Entrance to Yellowstone National Park).
The house sits on 1/4 mile of the Yellowstone River. All guests must use caution when anywhere near the river, as it is a wild, free flowing body of water. All children must always be attended by an adult and always wear a lifejacket.
We do not provide life jackets, or rafts or water devices.

    Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: I hosted a fly fishing bachelor party trip to the River Ranch and it was absolutely wonderful. The panoramic views were breathtaking, the space in the house was ample, and the amenities got the job done. The only critiques I can even think of is that two showers was possible but difficult for 12 people. Additionally, the fire place outside was a bit deceiving. The guard on the pit made it look like we were going to enjoy a viking like pyre, and in reality we had a small flame the size of a stovetop burner. Beyond that, it was everything we hoped for!

    My entire family was able to unwind thoroughly at this cabin. It was a great place to gather before and after hikes and hot spring soaks. The place was clean, well organized, and had all that we needed to enjoy our stay care free. Well done and thank you!!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The views could not be beat! I would say this place is perfect for three couples with kids. Had everything we needed! Again, View is the best! I can see where the outside deck would be great in nice weather. A hot tub would be a cherry on top.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: There truly aren’t words to describe our stay at this stunning home. The views were incredible, the host was fantastic, and the house was immaculate. When booking trips like this, you always wonder if reality will measure up to the pictures and reviews... in this case, everything was even better than we expected. I think it goes without saying, but I highly recommend a stay here. My husband and I are eager to return and can’t wait to recommend this home to friends and family.

    The cabin was a lovely retreat for our fly fishing/yellowstone hiking family adventure. We had plenty of room and it was well appointed with things we didn't anticipate (extra paper plates, dishwashing supplies, etc.). Our fishing boats stopped at the house one day for lunch and we had a picnic outside. It was cozy, comfortable and just lovely. Thank you so much.
