Great Place - Bad Location

The house was fine, and loved the welcome book. Unfortunately, it's also up an 8 mile unpaved, gravel road. Unless you're in an SUV, don't do it. Also, the driving directions provided by the property were incorrect. The bridge washed out 2+ years ago, so I'm not sure why we were told to use a non existent bridge. The property is a good 30-40 minutes away from either town for dinner....up and down that gravel switchback road, where 15mph is a top speed. But other than that... a pretty view

Couldn't Be Better

The home is well off the beaten path on a Forest Service road. It is private and secluded, without a neighbor n sight of the property. The views from the house and porch are absolutely amazing. It takes about 20 minutes to drive up from Route 89, and is well worth it. At the base of the mountain on 89 is the Yellowstone River, where we met our guide for a fantastic fly fishing float. The park is a short drive away also. We also took time to explore the various service roads into the Gallatin Nat'l Forest, where we even saw a pair of Grizzly Bears (the host provided bear spray) in a field. The wild life, scenery, and the house itself was amazing. There were also three horses on the property that would venture right by the porch each morning. We could not be happier with our stay!

3-Mile Ranch has beautiful views

We much enjoyed sitting on the deck and watching the elk meander up in the mountains. It would have been nice to have a heads-up notification that the bridge was out on the road that we needed to go down off the highway. We arrived close to dark and getting to the ranch is not easy, but having to figure out how to navigate the closed road made it more difficult.

Nice cabin in the mountains

Home was very well stocked with plenty of towels, blankets, and paper products. Very clean on arrival. Easy check in. Very private location. Owner was easily available for any needs. The only negative was the drive up the mountain to get there.

Nothing less than AMAZING!

This property is off the beaten path BUT it is worth every single second (15-20 minutes due to a bridge washed out secondary to a recent flood). We arrived after dark so we could not see the beauty until the next morning. When we walked up the stairs, there is a huge window that revealed the beautiful views this property. It was entertaining to watch each member of our group gasp as the views came into sight. No picture can do the beauty and vastness of the views any justice. The property was very clean and well maintained, kitchen well stocked, owner more than willing to answer questions and suggest things to do, everything was as described. Our group consisted of my husband and I (ages 53 and 59) and our 2 children with their significant other (ages 21-24). The home was very comfortable and plenty roomy for our group. Being from the south, I was quite concerned about no a/c because we visited mid-June. However, we had no problems and actually became cool some evenings with windows open and the properties strong ceiling fans. We had no trouble with cell service although none of us felt the need to be on our phones with beauty that surrounded us. Our trip to Montana and the beautiful property was even more than we were all expecting!

Perfect Getaway

The location and condition of this property is awesome. It is high up in the mountains, with an adventurous drive up and down, but well worth it. It is peaceful and secluded, with beautiful views and wildlife all around, but also mid-way between Yellowstown/Gardiner and Bozeman, so it allows you to easily relax after enjoying a long day of activities. The house is very clean, easily accommodated a family of four and had everything we wanted, I would definitely stay here again if visiting Montana/Yellowstone.

Disconnected and Reconnected

Many core memories were created during our stay. My family was in awe of the scenery, the sound of the water below, the horses, and the hammock all before we even entered the house. Upon entering, forgetting that houses in MT don't usually have a/c, we made ourselves as comfortable as possible in the current heat wave. Thankfully, fans were provided along with advice on when to open/close windows. We (or rather, my teen) realized that our cell service was non-existent. I assumed that wifi would be present but upon further investigation, it was not listed as an amenity but was offered for an additional cost in the welcome notebook. While tempting, we chose to forego the connection (shhh, don't tell my kids 😜) and accepted the off-grid challenge. It did not disappoint! Our first night there, we star-gazed and got to see a shooting star! Other nights we roasted smores over the propane firepit. Having the bear spray provided made us feel safer as well. Additionally, much to my delight, the Anne of Green Gables movie from the 80s was on-hand and I got to share one of my childhood faves with my family. I hadn't seen that movie in 25+ years and I recognized a large similarity between Anne and my youngest. We met the hostess, Danyalle, when her and hubs came to fill the horse's water trough. She gave us permission to feed them carrots! Beds were comfy and spice cabinet was well stocked (Old Bay!). Note: Due to a washed-out bridge, it now takes approx. 45 minutes to get to Gardiner.

Away from the bustle

We were looking for something with sufficient space for our three small children while being remote enough for a chance of wildlife viewing but still an easy drive to the North Yellowstone entrance at Gardiner. I under appreciated the drive from the property to the entrance (about 40 minutes) but was pleasantly surprised with how private the property is and the hospitality of the manager Danyelle. She reached out prior to arrival and offered route suggestions and advice for grocery purchases. She also checked in to make sure everything was up to our expectations. Our children loved interacting with the horses on site and playing on the hammock. There is a very large wraparound deck with views Northward of Paradise Valley and Emigrant Peak. You can hear the rush of nearby Rock Creek as you grill your steak on the included BBQ. All told, this was a tremendous location, provided you have the time to enjoy it. If you are looking for a crash pad with a quick, easy commute to the entrance and don’t plan on spending much time, stay at a tiny condo in Gardiner. But if you value the solace and connection with nature only a remote cabin can provide, this is a fantastic option.

Amazing!

Our family had a wonderful time at Danyalle's place. The house is comfortable, the kitchen is exceedingly well equipped compared to most vacation rentals, and the surroundings are absolutely stunning. (Horses out in the neighboring meadow were a big plus from my daughter's point of view :)). We've had some scary moments navigating the dirt road up the mountain, especially on the day it rained, but it all seemed worthwhile after getting there. I'm glad we had an SUV, though - it might be passable for a sedan but I would not want to be the one testing it out!

Beautiful property

Danyalle was an excellent host. She answered promptly when we had questions or concerns. The property itself was beautiful and had plenty of space for 4 adults and 1 teenager. The only thing that could have made our stay better (and it was pretty well perfect) is if the floods in 2022 to the area hadn't taken out the bridge to cut the drive on dirt roads down by 5 miles, otherwise all 5 of us thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. There was perfect views of wildlife pretty well all day and sunrise/sunset to drink coffee or just spend time with your loved ones. I think we will definitely try to come back to 3 Mile Ranch as Danyalle truly made our stay memorable.

BeautifuViews!

Beautiful Place! Very remote, lots of wildlife, stunning views, and the sound of the stream rushing made evenings and mornings a great hangout. We stayed here for our Yellowstone Trip one of the cool things we saw a lot of wildlife which is what we were looking for. especially on our journey to get to the location every day. so remote we often had no cell service so communication could be challenging. The views and location are worth it especially if you're wanting to just get away from everything. Loved It!

Mountain Home for YellowStone visit

If you have ever wanted to stay in a mountain home, where you can't see or hear other cars, houses, but only have the sound of the wind and the surrounding wildlife this is the house for you. Just a few short miles (21) north of the YellowStone North entrance and the city of Gardiner, MT and very close to the YellowStone Hot Springs in Corvin, both of which we visited and found to be very hospitable. With my group of 6 (family and friends) we made our ascent up the mountain in the early morning hours (1AM) and entered into the wonderful embrace of a clean, well-equipped house with, we discovered in the morning, sweeping views of the surrounding mountains and wildlife close to hand from the panoramic decking and through the large windows. The sound of the river rushing by far below us was so amazing. Can't say enough about Danyelle and her organization. Her house was setup with everything we needed for cooking (spices galore), taking showers (great pressure and plenty of hot water), and resting up from the rest of life. No internet, no problem . . . play games/have a conversation/make dinner with your whole family. We'll be looking for her property(ies) again the next time we are in Montana.
