The Yellowstone Trail Lodge is a 3 bedroom, 2 full bath home, and only 10 years old. The home is furnished with the finest furniture, new mattresses and every detail and amenity you could imagine. You will find yourself at the end of a rural road (but still very easy to drive to) with uninterrupted views of the Absaroka mountains and the surrounding "Paradise Valley." The minute you step inside and see the deer and antelope grazing in the 4 acres surrounding the property, you know you have found your Montana vacation home.
The lower level has a bedroom with a queen bed and nice desk, full bath and washer / dryer closet. The full kitchen with dining area is ideal for cooking meals to eat with breathtaking views or outside on the patio, enjoying the Big Sky air. Stocked with large and small appliances (all new), utensils and serving ware for the entire group.
The living room has seating for all, windows with views, and a pull out sofa (queen size) for additional sleeping. The flatscreen smart TV has Direct TV and a very simple stereo system.
Upstairs are 2 bedrooms and a shared full bathroom - the first bedroom has a queen bed, TV, and desk - and of course, more of those amazing views. The second bedroom has 2 single beds and a dresser.
Aside from everything in the home being like new, well thought out and comfortable, you cannot imagine a more ideal location for a trip to explore the mountains, rivers, towns and your favorite National Park.
The owners of the home manage a hotel in the west and know what it takes to make a guest feel at home. They also have a love for the history and romance of the historic Yellowstone Trail - a historic route that is mere yards from where the home sits. In addition to a sense of place, you will find interesting history and artifacts in the home. The Yellowstone Trail Lodge will quickly become the place you will want to return to year after year with your family and friends.
You can access the home with an electronic keypad on the front door. There is also a backdoor key pad if needed.
We live in Livingston and are available for questions or emergencies. Most info is in the welcome book or sent to you prior to arrival, but please do not hesitate to call us with any questions! We are always happy to help and would always prefer a question rather than any frustration on your part!
You are in a neighborhood, with other homes around, but it's definitely still "rural." You are 15 minutes or less from restaurants, bars, hot springs and groceries.
You will need a car to get around the area. You are an easy and short drive to Gardiner and Yellowstone National Park (to the south) or 10 minutes from Emigrant (to the north) where you can find groceries, gas, restaurants, and entertainment in either. Livingston is 25 minutes to the North of the house. We recommend 4 wheel drive in the winter time. The roads in the neighborhood are plowed in the winter, but its always a good idea in Montana!

This place was great. The view from the living room and kitchen is amazing. We were there for a short visit to enjoy Yellowstone and the hot springs. It was a great stay.- Anonymous , Posted: 1/3/2024

Beautiful Views! Amazing place to get away for some much needed time off from work.- Anonymous , Posted: 10/2/2023
This place was beyond fabulous!! So clean. So beautiful. Inside and out. Easy to navigate. Peaceful. Cannot wait to go back!!- Anonymous , Posted: 9/20/2023
The property and location was beautiful. We will stay again!- Anonymous , Posted: 9/1/2023
Our family came from three different parts of the world to enjoy this lovely home while we explored all that Livingston and Yellowstone had to offer. The process was seamless, the home clean and comfortable (with a well-equipped kitchen), and the view spectacular. Highly recommended.- Anonymous , Posted: 8/20/2023
We loved our time in Emmigrant! A spacious and peaceful spot! We will definitely be back.- Anonymous , Posted: 8/8/2023
Perfect location for a cabin away from all the noise of a nearby town but close enough to Yellowstone for a short daily drive down for a family vacation and close enough to Livingston to grab groceries and gas. Perfect size for our family of 5. Loved the outdoor games and the star-gazing at night.- Anonymous , Posted: 7/25/2023
This house was amazing. The views are stunning and making leaving the house to go do things hard! The kitchen was very well stocked with all the cooking utensils we could need. We loved the house and would absolutely come back and stay here again!- Anonymous , Posted: 7/19/2023
We stayed in Montana and Wyoming for a week. Half of our trip was at Brooke's place. Next time I will stay at Brooke's for the entire trip. The sunset views and night skies were amazing!- Anonymous , Posted: 7/14/2023
Great place. Quiet and private. Outstanding views from inside and outside the cabin. Cabin was clean and in good shape. Only minor issue is that you have to drop off your own garbage at a local waste site. That said, would absolutely stay there again. Gorgeous spot.- Anonymous , Posted: 7/10/2023
Very good location between the Yellowstones north entrance and Livingston with an amazing view . The place was very clean and we loved it and really enjoyed being there. It was fantastic.- Anonymous , Posted: 7/4/2023
Our party of three had a fantastic three-night stay at this wonderful place. It proved to be the ultimate location for exploring Yellowstone Park, with just a short 35-minute drive from the house. The owners went to great lengths to create a cozy and welcoming atmosphere, and the high-quality furniture and amenities provided everything we needed. Also, the host is extremely responsive and helps you out with whatever you need! While we did have a slight challenge finding the garbage bins for disposal, a simple solution like clear directions or a picture would easily resolve this. Despite this minor detail, we were thoroughly impressed and will undoubtedly return in the future.- Anonymous , Posted: 7/2/2023
We really enjoyed our stay here. The cabin had everything we needed, was very clean and had some of the best views we've ever seen. It's not crowded around a bunch of other cabins and was still convenient to the north entrance of Yellowstone (about a half hour drive). The communication with the property manager was great. I would rent from them again.- Anonymous , Posted: 6/28/2023
My wife and I drove cross country with our two children to tour some national parks. We used this location as a base to explore Yellowstone for 5 days. We absolutely loved everything about the property. The online pictures are fair in representing the cabin but once we got there, we were blown away by the views. The pictures can't even do justice to experiencing the property. The cabin was extremely clean with a great layout, fantastic views and had a nice place to eat breakfast in the morning looking out the bay window. Coffee on the patio overlooking the mountain every morning was the best! The property is technically in a small neighborhood but it is nice and secluded. We didn't see anybody else our whole stay. It is approximately 30-35 minutes from the North Gate of Yellowstone. Gardiner is nice little town to eat and shop as well. The host was responsive and had good suggestions for local activities and places to eat. Overall, this was a phenomenal experience and would love to make it back to this property.- Anonymous , Posted: 6/20/2023
Would highly recommend this beautiful mountain home!! We had such a nice relaxing time and the views are amazing! The home is inviting and had great amenities. Close enough to Yellowstone where you are not in a crowded area. We will definitely be back when we are in the area!- Anonymous , Posted: 6/9/2023
Wir haben das wunderschöne Haus in vollen Zügen genossen ! Es war alles da, was man brauchte und außerdem sehr schön eingerichtet ' wir hatten leider nur eine sehr heisse Wetterperiode hier mit 100 grad Fahrenheit, das war auch mit entsprechenden Tipps zum Lüften und mit Ventilatoren tagsüber kaum auszuhalten. Eine Klimaanlage wäre da sehr hilfreich gewesen. Wir kommen aber gerne wieder, denn wir haben es sehr geliebt' die Aussicht, die Schönheit des Hauses, die Sauberkeit' das war alles phantastisch!- Anonymous , Posted: 9/7/2022
he house is a perfect home for whom who loves to be near nature with open spaces and privacy. Amenties in the house are excellent. We bought all of what we need before check in but we are surprise that everything has been provided there. All seasoning, Olive oil, salt, pepper sugar, coffee etc.....are there. The house is perfectly clean we are very comfortable sleep in and enjoy the mountain view from the back yard at the sunset. Even it is a bit far from North gate for Yellow Stone entrance but we feel much relax and enjoy here after a long hiking day then spend the night in Gardiner. Here we can find peace and enjoy our vacation time after a day with long hiking trails and battle traffic jam inside the Yellow Stone national park. It also give us a chance to explore some to explore some other parks in Big Sky area. We love to come back if we have a chance.- Anonymous , Posted: 6/11/2022
This place is fabulous!! The views are breathtaking! The house is clean and very comfortable! The host thought of everything possible that you might need to enjoy your stay at Yellowstone! We would gladly stay here again and recommend this home to any of our friends making this trip!!- Anonymous , Posted: 5/20/2022
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! The house was well set up and had all the amenities we could wish for. It was a great place to spend time with family and a great base camp from which to explore Yellowstone National Park. The tub in the downstairs bathroom was particularly impressive, so deep!- Anonymous , Posted: 4/30/2022
