The Moose Lodge is a beautifully decorated, very clean cedar log home in Montana’s majestic Paradise Valley! We are on the doorstep of Yellowstone National Park (Gardiner entrance is 35 miles South) and just a short drive south of historic downtown Livingston, Montana. The home boasts a large well-manicured lawn with mature trees, fantastic views of Emigrant Peak (el. 10,926 feet!), and access to Yellowstone River and its exceptional fishing and abundant recreation opportunities.

The Moose Horn Lodge at Paradise Ranch Retreat features welcoming Western decor that will make you feel like you're in a Yellowstone cabin! Three bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, a spacious living area and dining area, an inviting gas fireplace, and a large smart TV, make this a comfortable retreat for six. The proud Montana native owners regularly update the home's amenities, including comfy cozy bedding, cookware, linens, and towels. In the living area, you can snuggle up on the inviting couch and two oversized recliners, next to the gas fireplace and enjoy the breathtaking view of Emigrant Peak. Pass the time bird and wildlife watching with the furnished binoculars! Or, enjoy YouTube TV or your favorite streaming service on the large smart TV.

Partial walls separate the kitchen and dining room from the living area, making it an ideal space to entertain! Cook your favorite Montana recipes in our well-appointed kitchen - complete with a refrigerator, freezer, stove, oven, microwave, dishwasher, coffee maker, toaster, cookware, Western-themed dinnerware, flatware, and glassware.

There is plenty of room for all in our dining area! Enjoy your meals, play a game, or share your adventure stories and photos at our beautiful wooden table featuring six seats (plus an extra chair!). The kitchen island has a bar with three matching wooden chairs for extra seating.

Enjoy the majestic mountain views from each of the three bedrooms. Every bedroom features custom-made log bed frames with new, comfortable bedding (updated regularly), bedside tables with western decor lamps, closets, luggage racks, and wooden wardrobes.

Two full bathrooms provide all the comforts of home including fresh towels, hair dryers, shampoo, conditioner, and body wash. One of the two full bathrooms hosts the washer and dryer has plenty of room for you to wash and fold laundry.

Outdoor, we feature a covered front porch where you can enjoy your morning coffee or evening cocktails amongst the glorious Montana views. The mountain sunrises and sunsets will astound you. Use the outdoor grill and BBQ to host your cookout on the spacious lawn adjacent to Paradise Ranch Retreat's Trout House (a separate home that sleeps 6).

The Moose Horn Lodge is adjacent to Paradise Ranch Retreat’s Trout House (a separate home that sleeps up to six), which is available to rent separately or along with the Moose Horn Lodge. Note that this listing is to reserve Moose Horn Lodge only. Paradise Ranch Retreat’s Trout House is available separately, or both homes are available as Paradise Ranch Retreat.

Awesome!

We enjoyed the house, the nearby sights in Yellowstone, the bakery and bbq in Emigrant, fishing on the Yellowstone and Mill Creek, hiking Pine Creek area, and restaurants in Livingston and Bozeman. The cabin is comfortable, spacious, and well equipped. We look forward to another stay in the near future. Thanks!

Property was beautiful,well maintained, and a good location for our activity. My son & I fished the Yellowstone River with some success, but good companionship of guides. My Wife enjoyed relaxing and walking, touring, and travelling with us. Tanya was helpful, but no dinner. We consider coming again. Dwight

Comfortable and convenient

Spent 4 nights in the VRBO in Paradise Valley. Toured Lewis and Clark Cavern, Explored Emigrant Gulch and Tom Miner Basin in 4-wheel drive. Attended concert at Old Saloon and went to Chico Hot Springs several times. The VRBO was a super comfortable place to stay for our activities. This is our second time at this property and will use it again.

Perfect setting for old friends to reconnect

Wonderful home layout for our 2 couples to get together. split layout of house gives everyone their own space but plenty of gathering room as well. open design kept everyone within the conversation whether they were relaxing in the comfy front room or sitting around the kitchen table or the island. interesting artwork throughout and more than the usual vacation home amenities including items like useful kitchenware, extra blankets, Kleenexes, books, wildlife spotting scope ... just lots of little details that made us feel very at home.

Beautiful Views

We enjoyed just about everything about this property except for the fact that it was very close to the road. The views were beautiful but the sound of the road did take away from the peace of the place at times. We did sit on the front porch, a little bit dusty because of the dirt road. It is not very close to any restaurant so make sure you plan to travel a half hour or stay home once you get there. Very cozy comfortable beds and great supplies.

So Many Things to See and Do in Paradise Valley

We arrived at Paradise Ranch Retreat in the late afternoon just in time for Happy hour with our friends on the front deck looking at the snow capped mountains. We were throughly impressed with the both houses on how clean they were and we felt at home. Comfortable beds for sure. They both are decorated in true Montana style. So fun. The kitchens in both houses were very well appointed. The TV’s worked great. We were amazed how convenient the houses were to access the famous Chico Hot Springs and Sage Lodge which is a wonderful place to eat only two miles from the houses. We spent the next few days exploring Yellowstone National Park. Seeing the wildlife and scenery took out breath away. As any good trip the time just flew by and all of us have such wonderful memories. We have already planned to book both houses again. Buzz
