Riverfront idyll in Shields Valley, 10 min to Livingston

Everything was perfect

The home welcomed us with goodies such as wine, jam, and homemade cookies, and were quick to answer the few questions we had. Everything worked perfectly; the beds were extremely comfortable, the comfortable living room bright and stocked with information about the area. The Yellowstone River and Livingston were minutes away. Simply this was a grand stay and location.

This was an excellent rental experience.

This was our second time visiting Victoria and Stuart’s wonderful home and it was fantastic. The place is super clean and tidy with a timeless western decor. Victoria and Stuart are friendly hosts and very responsive to any questions or needs that may arise. Fully stocked kitchen let us cook meals with ease and having full laundry facilities helped keep our clothes clean after a full day in the mountains or exploring Yellowstone. The river was a bit muddy and high from the late winter melt but we were able to enjoy the sounds of the rapids from the back deck. We hope to be back again next year!

The property was honestly better than expected. The river was beautiful and just yards away. Upon arriving the hosts had a gift basket filled with goodies. Victoria's cookies she made and included in the basket were to die for. Tons of wildlife in the area and right in the yard. There was a few deer that were regulars to the property. You could go outside and the deer would just watch you while you watched them. Very cozy home with all the essentials you might need either for a short stay or an extended stay. I'm ever visiting the area again I'll definitely plan on staying with them. Thank you for a comfortable stay!!

The home is beautifully decorated and very clean. We felt very at home the moment we walked in the door. Our host met us at the property shortly after we arrived and explained more about the property and the surrounding area. She also left a welcome basket with homemade goodies! The property is located within driving distance to a lot of activities and towns. After a day out and about, coming home to put our feet in the river or sit on one of the two porches was a wonderful way to relax. We very much enjoyed our stay!

We enjoyed our stay, especially based on the location for hiking. We were able to easily get to trailheads in the Crazies and Absaroka-Beartooth. We did have to work a couple days of our stay and the internet had no problem with multiple video calls happening at once. This was also one of the cleanest Vrbos we've been in and probably one with the sharpest knives! Victoria provided excellent communication and it was nice to have an opportunity to meet Victoria and Stuart as well.

Victoria and Stuart are wonderful hosts and their property is absolutely perfect for anyone seeking a true outdoor Montana getaway. The house is tastefully decorated with every possible amenity- especially the kitchen! It was the perfect place for me and my sons to enjoy the mountains and river activities we love- fishing, mountain biking, hiking… and Bozeman was just a short 20 minute drive for restaurants and shopping. Victoria and Stuart were accommodating and quick to answer any questions or needs. They’re great people and we’re so thankful they offer others the chance to immerse ourselves in the beautiful Montana mountains.

This was our 4th trip to the Shields Retreat and the property is beautifully maintained and the house is well equipped and very clean. Private and easy access to the Shields river and a short drive into Livingston for dinner or any needed items. Visited the Sage spa (about 30 mins away)for a spa treatment while the boys fished

The hosts, Victoria and Stu were very accommodating. The house is very comfortable and cozy. Lots of added touches...we all enjoyed the treats from the welcome basket! Great location with plenty of outdoor activities.
