This log cabin and guest cottage sit on a lovely, grassy bench on 21 acres at the base of Emigrant Peak (elevation 10,960). The views from the cabins are stunning and the cabins themselves are comfortable and cozy, filled with books and interesting collectibles. The two-bedroom log cabin has a full bath, a hide-a-bed, a fully-equipped kitchen, a TV/VCR/DVD, satellite TV, wireless internet, and a stereo. It's available for rent by itself. The two-bedroom guest cottage has two full baths. It has no kitchen facilities, and so is available only with the log cabin (the two buildings are never rented to separate parties). The property borders vast public land; the hiking from the property is excellent. The cabins are located midway between Yellowstone Park and Livingston, Montana in the Paradise Valley. The Yellowstone River, Chico Hot Springs Resort, and the Absaroka-Beartooth Wilderness are close by. Wildlife seen from the cabins includes: bears, elk, deer, wolves, bobcats, foxes, eagles, hawks, bluebirds, and cranes. Hummingbirds enjoy the porch feeder. The cabins are available and enjoyable for most of the year. Both cabins have central heat. There's also a wood stove in the living room of the log cabin and a cute gas fireplace in the bedroom. The climate from late spring through early fall is usually temperate, although mornings and evenings can be cool. Fall and spring can bring winter conditions which can fluctuate widely, with temperatures ranging from well below zero to well above freezing. The log cabin has a washer, dryer, and unique outside clothesline. For recreation, the log cabin has satellite TV, Wi-Fi and a stereo with CD player. It also has a library of fiction, non-fiction and naturalist reference as well as various board games. Outside there is a rustic basketball hoop and a maintained horseshoe pit. There is a camp fire pit available when wildfire danger is not too high. A gas grill is always available. The property has direct hiking and horse access to millions of acres of public land.
