We feel incredibly fortunate to have discovered this gem in Paradise Valley for our family gathering and celebration. The experience exceeded our expectations. The accommodations were perfect for what we needed, and the setting was breathtaking. Renee wa very helpful throughout the entire process, making our stay even more enjoyable. We would love to return and highly recommend this place to anyone visiting the area.

This property is very close to Copper Rose Ranch, which is where the family wedding was that we attended. This place was approx 5 minutes down the road. It was a great place to stay. There was 6 of us and others came to visit and BBQ. It was greatly stocked with everything you would need. All the staples, spices, etc. It was super relaxing, I would highly recommend. We roasted marshmallows, made smores, had coffee by the fire outside and inside. It was a great family experience, with lots of good memories made. We would stay there again in a minute. Renee, the host was super accommodating.I can't say enough good things about this experience. It was fabulous! They also have a couple of new cabins on the same property as the main house. You should really check this place out, you won't be disappointed!

Our group was 5 adults and 4 kids (9 mo - 7 years). This turned out to be a perfect fit for this property. More would have been crowded. The photos do not do the views on this property justice - they don't call this this Paradise Valley for nothing. The kids had a ball here, especially in the creek (which was full when we arrive 6/22 but was dry by 7/4) and the sluice (which continued to flow; in both cases adult supervision needed). The other reviews do a good job describing this. 50 minute drive to Yellowstone, just over an hour from Bozeman airport. The lack of upstairs bathrooms might be a concern for some groups, but it did not bother us. Outdoor fires not allowed, but the inside fireplace was awesome, as was the porch, which has a full dining table. Well-equipped kitchen, well-equipped everything. Accomadating host (they bought a toaster for the property at our request, which we really appreciated). Altogether, fabulous! Last tip: always bring a few warm clothes. this is at 5000 ft with mountain weather-- can be chilly even during summer.

We booked at the last minute and Renee was very gracious in accommodating our stay. The property is located in the heart of the Paradise Valley, close to attractions like Chico Hot Springs and the best BBQ around, Follow Yer Nose. Our group’s only complaint was that there are two bedrooms upstairs but no bathrooms. All three baths are on the ground floor. The kitchen was terrific and we had a great stay!

Very beautiful, quiet and serene. Has a good kitchen great view. Had a large family group over for a celebration prior to a wedding. We cooked for the group. Plenty of seating for everyone with the large table on the porch. Everyone thought the place was great.

Great communication with our host, everything was as described, we had a wonderful long weekend with family friends. Our gang of kids, 5 of them between 7 and 1, enjoyed the creek and running around the big yard. Thank you Renee.

The property was amazing and completely equipped for all 12 guests with everything we needed. We were near river and mountain hikes, saw lots of wildlife and enjoyed the beautiful scenery. Katherine was thoughtful and helpful with any questions we had. We highly recommend this cabin!

Some places on earth are magical - the history engrained in the land combines with the love in the dwellings and it’s amazing. Elbow Creek Lodge is one of those places. It’s large enough for a family or reunion - and was also perfect for just the two of us.
Kitchen has everything you might need — heated mattress pad on the master bed — incredible views out of every window — covered front porch to listen to the birds and sit with the meandering creek in front — I could write for hours. Just be assured if you book this listing - you won’t be disappointed. The photos don’t lie! We will definitely return - for a longer period next time. Side note: if you fly fish, you’re within 15 minutes of spring creeks!! Total bonus.

I have stayed at a lot of VRBO's and this was hands down the most welcoming, most convenient and most beautiful home ever. The homeowner was very quick to respond, and everything we needed was provided. We had a wonderful family vacation in large part because of this lovely home. The online pictures do not do it justice.

This is the best VRBO property we’ve ever stayed in. The owner is extremely kind and helpful. There is an amazing view of the landscape from every room…even the laundry room. We went during the fall as the trees changed colors and got snow all in the same week. It was gorgeous. This house has everything you and your family could need. What a wonderful find! Thanks for allowing us to stay!

Relaxing and Gorgeous Views
Renee and Katherine were wonderful to work with. Renee was very accommodating when we needed to change our reservations. The home is beautiful and the views can’t be described with words. The sheets and towels at this home were like being at a spa. We enjoyed every part of the home - from the kitchen to sitting on the front porch watching our grandchildren enjoy the yard. Many memories were made here- I think our favorite was watching the bark boat regatta in the stream. Close to many good restaurants- coffee shops and shops. Close for a day trip to Yellowstone. Katherine was there when we needed her - and invisible when we didn’t. 10 star rating!

Paradise in Paradise Valley
We had a fantastic stay I. This property was a very private and peaceful get away for our family. There was plenty of space for the entire party. The house was very clean and fully stocked with everything you need on your travels. The outdoor living space was wonderful. We spend hours on the patio around the fire-pit. Chico was only a 10 minute drive from the house! We will definitely stay at this property again!

Elbow Creek property
The house was beautiful and the views from the front porch were awesome. The location is very quiet. With a little bit of driving Yellowstone is within easy reach. I give the property 5 stars.

Taylor Ranch
Loved every minute at this beautiful ranch. Our favorite spot was the front porch. Loved sitting on the comfortable furniture and looking at the mountains and deer, fox and birds. My granddaughter loved the tire swing in the tree.
