About this house rental

Fridley Creek Hideaway is half a mile from Highway 89, 30 minutes north of Yellowstone National Park and in the heart of Paradise Valley. The Yellowstone River is less than 1 mile from the house is a world renowned fly fishing destination.

This house is perfect for the avid fly-fisherman/woman. The famous Story Lakes are less than 5 miles up the dirt road and all you have to do is contact Belinda Story, the owner, for rod fees and availability. You must call Belinda and pay the rod fee before going to either the lower or upper lake. No trespassing past the gate if you are not confirmed and paying a rod fee to fish or sight see. There are a limited number of rods available per day so call in advance. No hiking to the lakes without paying a rod fee and advance reservation.

For those who do not want to pay a rod fee to fish or pay to see the lakes, there is a private fishing access point across highway 89 on the Yellowstone River.

Fridley Creek Hideaway is situated on the oldest cattle ranch in Montana. In 1866 Nelson Story traveled to Texas where he bought 1,000 longhorn cattle. He and 13 tough cowboys trailed them from Texas to Montana arriving in the Bozeman area in December 1866. Around 1870 Story relocated the main headquarters of the ranch to the Emigrant area.

The wrap around deck lends a spectacular view of Emigrant Peak. The house is nestled in trees and surrounded by old ranching equipment and outbuildings, giving it a unique western vibe. The creek is a short walk from the house and fishing access points on the Yellowstone River are a 5 minute drive north to the Emigrant fishing access.

The house is great for a lucky couple or group of 6 people or less. The kitchen and large mudroom area are upstairs with a washer and dryer. The kitchen upstairs is spacious with a round table and bar area separating it from the upstairs living area. There are two bedrooms and that share a full bathroom. One queen room and one room with two twins.

The basement was recently refinished with a beautiful and bright wooden floor and exposed brick. The living area has ping pong and comfortable seating. Downstairs also has a king bedroom and a full bathroom.

The house is surrounded by a small yard with ample space to walk around, ride your bike, or take a run. We have a grill for cooking outside. The kitchen is well equipped with everything you may need.

Everything in description and more. Tanya was very communicative without being invasive. The house was super nice, comfortable and spacious. All amenities were there and of good quality. Absolutely a top notch rental

Our family stayed here in Emigrant for a week of enjoying beautiful Montana and Yellowstone. This VRBO was great. It had plenty of room. The kitchen had everything we needed. The location was fabulous. It was so restful, quiet and an absolutely beautiful environment. We saw deer, rabbits, red tail hawks, and even had a big bull on our lawn on evening.

This was a very comfortable stay. The location was great. Close to Yellowstone, Chico Hot Springs, Livingston. Off the highway and no neighbors to worry about. The house was comfortable and had all the furnishings you would need. I'm not gonna lie...asthetically speaking the house needed some upgrading and repairs. Nothing that affected (effected?) our stay or made it unlivable. Things like towel racks about to fall off, a hole in the bathroom door (outside part only), the yard needed some attention. No curtains, but no neighbors so - not a big deal. But we didn't really stay at the house because we were off exploring. The host Tanya was very nice and helpful. I would definitely stay there again and would recommend it to others. oh..also no AC. Which I don't think is too uncommon in this part of Montana (at least when I was looking at other places - most didn't have AC) I don't think it's usually too hot in Emigrant and the nights were cool so it was fine

Pulling up to the house one is met by the beauty that Montana holds. Amazing sunrises and sunsets are easily visible from the property. The night sky is breathtaking. There are many wildlife friends that are easily seen at any point in the day. The house has plenty of room but stagger your showers for everyone to have hot water. Very short drive between Livingston and Gardner. When coming back to Montana would stay here again.

The house was in a beautiful location. The house was comfortable, like staying at your grandparents home. The stairs were a little creaky. There were no ping pong balls for the table but we bought some and were reimbursed. We stayed here to be closer to the north entrance of Yellowstone but the flood prevented that. There was not much to do in the area without driving a distance but we still had a good time. We saw the most beautiful rainbow over the mountains one afternoon and enjoyed watching two different owls near dusk one night.

We were extremely happy with our house near Yellowstone. The furnishings and the beds were very comfortable and the house was spotless. We enjoyed seeing the owl in the shed, the deer on the property and hearing the coyotes at night. The privacy was outstanding. We used several hiking suggestions left by the host and used the hint for bear viewing as often as we could to watch grizzly bears. This property helped make our trip to Yellowstone wonderful.
