About this property

Summer & Winter Paradise, Stunning Mountain Views & Close To Yellowstone Park!

Welcome to Yellowstone Sky Vacation Rental! Situated on 20 acres in the heart of Paradise Valley, Montana, our vacation home is open year-round and offers breathtaking 11,000 ft. mountain views of the Absaroka-Beartooth and Gallatin Mountain Ranges. Plentiful wildlife sightings including mule deer, whitetail deer, elk, fox, eagles, osprey, hawks, sandhill cranes and more. Oftentimes at night you can hear elk calling out in the upper elevations and if you love stargazing, you’ll be amazed at the beautiful nighttime sky! Sunrises and sunsets are not to be missed as they are colorful and inspiring.

This one-level home accommodates 1-6 guests. Whether you're a single person who loves lots of space, a couple or a small group, Yellowstone Sky Vacation Rental offers a private, peaceful and clean home base. Our hope is that you’ll be able to escape, rejuvenate, relax, explore, be adventurous and create many wonderful memories in this incredible area of Montana!

Paradise Valley during all four seasons is truly a dream-come-true for photographers (hobbyists & professionals), nature lovers, wildlife watchers, artists, writers and outdoor sports enthusiasts. Yellowstone National Park’s north entrance in Gardiner, MT is a GORGEOUS 40-minute scenic drive that follows the famed Yellowstone River and is the ONLY entrance that is open year-round into Yellowstone’s Northern Range where you can drive your own vehicle from Mammoth Hot Springs to Cooke City, MT during the winter months.

Whitewater rafting, scenic river floats, fly fishing, hiking, private Yellowstone Park tours, hot spring soaking, horseback riding, cross country skiing, winter wildlife viewing, and downhill skiing are some of the fun activities that are offered in this area. The town of Livingston is a 25-minute drive and offers many restaurants, shopping, museum, grocery stores, bars, gas stations, post office, hospital, pharmacy, park and more. There is a small grocery store and gas station in Emigrant, which is a 15-minute drive. The Bozeman-Yellowstone International Airport is a beautiful 60-minute drive…unless you stop to take photos along the way (which we’re sure you’ll want to do)!

Perfect in Paradise

Jean and Mark's house was very very comfortable and spotlessly clean. It had all the conveniences of home and the view from the back deck was simply spectacular. Jean helped us plan our stay by offering suggestions for photography and hikes we would not have discovered on our own. In particular, she told us about a great spot to observe Grizzles fattening themselves in preparation for winter. We highly recommend this house and Jean and Mark as hosts.

Perfect family vacation

We stayed on the property for one week with our family of 6. The property was a beautiful hour drive to Yellowstone. We were far enough to enjoy the peacefulness of the land but just 20-ish minutes away from town. The house itself was beautiful! The owners were absolutely lovely and easy to get in touch with. We appreciated all the information on hikes/things to do/places to eat. Cannot say enough nice things about the owners or the property. We would love to come back.

About the host

Hosted by Jean Modesette

Host profile image
With a great love of the the west, mountains, wildlife and wild places, Jean and Mark moved to Montana 18 years ago from Minnesota and never looked back! Living and working in Paradise Valley is truly a dream-come-true and they feel so incredibly lucky to live within the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem. They're both excited to share their love of Montana and Yellowstone Park with visitors who stay in their vacation rental and hope that it offers a peaceful getaway from life's responsibilities and stresses!

Why they chose this property

Sometimes when you see a property, you just know that it's home. When we first drove up to look at our property, the views took our breath away. No matter which way you turn, there are inspiring mountain views teaming with pine trees. Deer often meander through and oftentimes relax in the cool grass or under a tree. Eagles and hawks can be seen flying gracefully overhead. During the winter months large herds of elk graze our property and they're amazing to watch! It's a peaceful existence away from noise, traffic, congestion and we love everything about it!

What makes this property unique

Our vacation home is spacious and allows our guests to spread out and relax. The views from any window are beautiful and sunrises and sunsets are oftentimes spectacular. We live on a private road and our neighborhood is very quiet so that guests can enjoy the sounds of birds and the mountain breezes.
