In 2022, the tranquility of Yellowstone was shattered by an unprecedented flood that swept through the iconic national park. Triggered by a combination of natural forces and environmental shifts, the deluge left a trail of destruction in its wake. Campgrounds were submerged, wildlife habitats disrupted, and cherished landscapes forever altered. River Rose, unfortunately, fell victim to the devastating flood. After a 20 month journey marked by diligent cleaning, extensive rebuilding efforts, a couple of additions, and an abundance of hard work, River Rose welcomes guests once more.

Please note that there is a 5 night minimum stay in the summer.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION: This newly remodeled western style ranch home enjoys a beautiful location on the Yellowstone River South of Livingston. River Rose is accessed by a ramp from the parking area to the main floor and is all on one level. Bring your drift boat because there's a place to launch right out back! Fish out the back door, hike, and bike in the rugged Absaroka Mountains or drive into Livingston for some small town western entertainment.

BEDROOMS/BATHOOMS: The home has four bedrooms all decorated very tastefully with a western theme. The master bedroom has a king size bed with a log frame and a large private bath. The second bedroom has a queen size bed with a log frame and the third bedroom has two twin beds also with log frames. The fourth bedroom/den includes a high-end queen size sofa sleeper, incredible views, and a large TV. There are three full bathrooms in the house, two with tub/shower combinations, and one with a walk-in shower. River Rose can accommodate up to eight guests.

KITCHEN/DINING: The large, open kitchen has all new appliances including a gas range and oven, a dishwasher, and a microwave. There is lots of counter space, including a counter island area with bar stools for folks to sit and chat with the cook. The kitchen is fully equipped with everything you'll need as far as cookware and serving ware. The dining room table seats eight comfortably. There is also seating for four at the kitchen bar counter as well as a table and four chairs in the Sun Porch.

LIVING ROOM: The comfortable living room has a wood stove to warm up on those chilly evenings, A/C for those hot afternoons, and a new leather couch and chairs to sit and relax and a flat screen television with streaming ability only.

SETTING: River Rose is located on a small ranch in the Paradise Valley. As you enter the property, the long driveway weaves between irrigated green horse pastures until you reach the River Rose home situated right on the banks of the Yellowstone River. A large grassy lawn area out front is perfect for kids to play and to enjoy the fantastic views of the Absaroka Mountains. There is a property caretaker that looks after the owners' horses as well as the River Rose home. The caretaker's residence is far enough away that your privacy is ensured yet he can be easily reached if there is a need. Out in the back of the home the river flows by just feet from the back door! A large grove of cottonwood trees provides some nice shady areas for picnics on those sunny days.

OUTDOOR AMENITIES: There is plenty of outdoor seating for barbecues as well as a gas grill. Enjoy the views and the river frontage provided at River Rose. A natural boat launch allows you to start or end your float trip right at the house.

TOWN/AIRPORT: The town of Bozeman and Gallatin Field Airport are just over 60 miles away.

NEARBY ACTIVITIES: Fishing, hiking, rafting, horseback riding, visiting Yellowstone Park, and just relaxing and getting away from it all! Chico Hot Springs is just 7 miles down the road with fine & casual dining, hot spring fed pools for soaking, and even live music. The towns of Livingston and Gardiner are both about 25-30 miles away with shopping, galleries, restaurants, etc.

Extraordinary and Lovely Getaway - Best Ever

Reviewed on 2021-10-28 by Karen L , Denver, CO USA

If there is one place I’d like to return, this is it. The house is cozy, welcoming and I’ve never seen a kitchen so well appointed. Waking up to my coffee with sweet horses in the front yard, while we watched osprey parents teach their youngster to hunt in the back around the Yellowstone River, was magical. The mountains are a presence, standing watch over the property. The owner invited us to a Sunday get-together around the campfire over at his house. How amazing. We left him some fresh-baked sourdough when we left. The location is perfect - between Yellowstone NP entrance and Livingston. We did a great loop around the Beartooth Highway and saw amazing views. The peace conveyed by sitting on the sun porch, watching the river go by, was just amazing. If you want a perfect getaway, this is it.

360 degrees of beautiful views!

Beautiful cabin on beautiful property! The Yellowstone River is a stone’s throw from the back steps…literally! Big, picture windows frame the living room, dining room and sun porch area giving you beautiful views of the mountains and the river. House had everything we needed, The A/C was nice, especially since we arrived during a heat wave! Not many cabins have this option. Bring bug spray during the summer….that’s just part of the ecosystem! We didn’t have much luck fishing. The property caretaker has great information about the area, from prime fishing spots to bear sightings…however, we found out about this on our last evening. Paradise Valley is a beautiful area, and it was nice being away from the crowds and the noise. Great vacation spot in Montana! Thanks for sharing your home!

Great home base for a Montana vacation

Awesome home on the Yellowstone River. Great location, 40 minutes to Yellowstone national park, 1 hour to Bozeman, 20 minutes to Livingston. Emigrant is the greatest town. Great food and drink. After a day to sit in the living room and look out at Emigrant peak is amazing. I'll be back.

Pictures & description do not do it justice!!!

Family reunion representing IN, TX & CA. Couldn't be happier with the accommodations. Beautiful surroundings and the house had absolutely anything and everything to make your stay comfortable. Loved the floor plan and the fact that you were not right on top of any neighbors. The caretaker lives at the front of the property and was most gracious and welcoming. Takes about 40 minutes to get into Yellowstone from the house but, that was okay as this sure beat any hotel! (plan to be at the Yellowstone gate when they open to avoid long lines to get in) Plenty of room for everyone to stretch out and a nice yard for the small kids to play in. There is a large grocery about 20 minutes away and a small convenience store with gas a few miles up the road. The house and scenery really does look like what is posted and does not do this place justice. Only thing I would say in warning is that the river behind the house has a very fast current so you would want to be cautious with small children or pets. We like to rock hunt and found several interesting pieces along the bank. The horses in the pasture were beautiful and enjoyable to watch. The place was spotlessly clean and was as well stocked as my own home. Loved that it has internet access and a washer and dryer. Wish we could have stayed longer. While there, I looked around at some of the other places we could have rented and quickly concluded that I had made the right decision by booking River Rose. The reservation staff was exceptional, as well. Be sure to go to the little bakery in Emigrant early to get fresh, made from scratch goodies! It was a looong drive for all of us but River Rose made it worth the trip!

The house has the most beautiful views. The river was awesome and saw plenty of wildlife while we were there. The kitchen is perfect for making family dinners and gathering around the table. The home is centrally located (close to the entrance to Yellowstone)! Would definitely recommend staying here with a family.

We had a fantastic few days at River Rose. Beautiful house in a beautiful location. We had Osprey nesting across the river and right outside the window and we enjoyed watching people go by in their little fishing boats.We visited Yellowstone from here, had an interesting evening at Chico Hot Springs and ate at The Old Saloon in Emigrant who served excellent food.

Hello Christine - It sounds like you packed a LOT into your few days at River Rose and in the Paradise Valley. Good for you! Thank you for being our guests and we hope that you'll be able to come back soon. - Suzy

We have been spending a week in the Paradise Valley almost every summer for over ten years. We normally rent a different cabin each year through the good folks at Mountain Home, and for us, River Rose was the best. It will be our first "repeat" booking of the same cabin. If we owned it I couldn't think of anything I would change,

Manager's Response

Hi John - What a wonderful commentary on River Rose. We're so glad that you discovered it and that you'll be coming back for another stay there. We look forward to it! Thank you again for being our guests year after year. We truly appreciate you! - Suzy

Overall

Our experience with Mountain Home and the River Rose was like none other. The setting is set in the beautiful Absaroka Mtn. Range. The graceful Yellowstone River at your feet. Green horse pastures with a new born Colt. The cabin unlike any other with its graceful style and simplicity. Cleans and roomy for a whole family, yet cozy for a couple. Seated between Yellowstone and Livingston, the opportunity for beauty and shopping was abundant. Many nights spent just gazing into the foothills of the sun drenched mountains. The River Rose is definitely a vacation not soon forgotten.
