Your Private Basecamp Near Chico Hot Springs

Paradise Valley is best experienced without the crowds. Our curated collection of 13 homes in Emigrant, Montana, offers the premier alternative to traditional resort lodging. Chico Hot Springs is a Montana icon, but the resort’s hotel rooms can often feel crowded. By choosing a Key Montana private estate, you secure the best of both worlds: legendary resort access paired with the privacy of a personal residence. Spend your days soaking in the open air mineral pools and your evenings relaxing by your own stone fireplace, cooking in a chef grade kitchen, or stargazing from a private deck.

Our inventory in the Emigrant area is strategically positioned to minimize travel and maximize relaxation. Properties like Emigrant Peak Lodge and Paradise Retreat at Chico are located just blocks from the resort. This makes them excellent options for guests who want to be in the heart of the action. For those who prefer a hilltop perspective, Cowboy Lake Lodge is less than one mile away. It features private walking and biking trails that lead directly to the resort grounds. Even our riverfront options, such as UC River Ranch, are within a four mile radius. This allows you to transition from the Yellowstone River to the hot springs in under ten minutes.

Attending a wedding or a group event at Chico? Our nearby luxury lodges are the professional solution for families who want to stay together without the constraints of multiple hotel rooms. Large scale properties offer expansive dining areas and multiple master suites. These homes provide a comfortable gathering space for wedding parties just a short drive from the venue.

Basecamp for the North Entrance

While the hot springs are a primary draw, these homes serve as a central hub for the "Original Gateway" of Yellowstone. Beyond the resort, you are minutes from the historic Old Saloon for live music and the Follow Yer’ Nose BBQ in nearby Emigrant. From this basecamp, the North Entrance of Yellowstone at Gardiner is a scenic 30 minute drive. This gives you easy access to the Lamar Valley and Mammoth Hot Springs while avoiding the tourist traps of West Yellowstone.
