Beautiful Lodge on the Yellowstone - August 2020 Availability!

Querencia Lodge is perfect for extended families and groups. Elegantly rustic and warmly hospitable, Querencia Lodge features six guest rooms with private entrances from spacious decks, each with magnificent views of the Absaroka, Gallatin and Crazy Mountains and the Yellowstone River. Reserve a room, a suite or the entire lodge. Tiled bathrooms with showers are both private and semi-private and beds are queen or twin.

A spacious gathering area features an antique wood stove on a raised stone hearth. The kitchen is ready for the gourmet cook. Infrared and charcoal grills and tables facilitate outdoor dining. You will find a collection of some of Montana’s finest literature in the library. The Querencia specialty is a warm and informal hospitality: Make yourself at home! A three-night minimum is encouraged.

The Querencia family can assist you with all of your favorite activities: hiking, fishing, scenic river floats, white water rafting, guided trips to Yellowstone Park, horseback riding. Fly-fishing on the Yellowstone River is a short stroll from the lodge. Guided fly-fishing, equipment and free fishing advice are all available.

There are numerous world-class hikes with every degree of length and difficulty (guides available) nearby or you can take a well-trained Lab for a walk. Upland bird hunting with trained dogs are available in season. Bird watchers will enjoy all of the western birds including very close sightings of Bald Eagles. After a day in the outdoors soak in the nearby natural hot springs and then retire to the sound of silence broken only by the wind or the river.

Querencia is a fly-fishing destination specializing in the spring creeks and freestone streams of the Yellowstone area. It is also a base of operations for exploring Yellowstone Park (36 miles to the north entrance at Gardiner), the Little Big Horn Battlefield and all of southwest Montana, perfect for singles, couples, family reunions or business retreats. Children and well-behaved pets are welcome. Kennels are available to guests.

Querencia Fly-fishing School: a custom three to five day course of instruction and guided fishing for beginners and intermediate fly-fishers. Everything you need to know to fish successfully and unassisted is included. Trips to the rivers and streams of Yellowstone Park, the spring creeks and freestone streams of Paradise Valley and the Yellowstone River are included. Trips to the Big Horn River and the Missouri River are available with experienced guides and boats.

Querencia Cooking School: a three-night stay includes the preparation of three gourmet dinners and breakfasts. Guests share the cost of ingredients and wine. Dutch oven cooking on an open fire is a Querencia specialty.

Pheasants, ducks and geese: Guided hunting with trained Labradors on the islands of the Yellowstone River is available in season.

'Querencia' is a Spanish word that is used to mean that area in life’s arena where one feels safe and serene. The word perfectly describes Querencia Lodge, perfect for you and yours.

Family and Friends Get Away
We had a great time at the Lodge. Joe is an excellent host. He took time to make sure everyone had a great time and was very accommodating of everyone’s requests. The property is beautiful and is right by the Yellowstone river. Kids had a great time sitting by the fire, fishing off the riverbank, and interacting with the animals. Joe was kind enough to even give us a basic fly fishing lesson.

Great place to stay!
Fantastic property! Joe is an awesome host and a lot of fun. He knows everything about the area and what to do. Loved walking out the door and fishing the Yellowstone. We had everything we needed to cook for 15 people. Evenings by the fire pit were a great way to end the day. We will be back!!!

Perfect Family Reunion Spot
Great location, well stocked kitchen, comfortable beds and ample space for our family of 16+ to share a long overdue reunion. We enjoyed coffee in the cool mornings on the porch in the provided Querencia Lodge robes, the fire pit in the evening, walks to the nearby Yellowstone River, local hikes and trips to Livingston (highly recommend Coffee Crossing, Elemental Kitchen and Katabatic Brew Pub). Joe Skaggs, the owner, was a great host; unobtrusive but readily available onsite to help with questions when needed. He graciously allowed our dogs to be in the house with us, and accommodated them in his adjacent (very quiet) kennels when we took a couple of day trips. It is a unique property, combining the comforts of home in rustic surroundings.

The Montana experience!
Querencia, Paradise Valley and the Yellowstone River did not disappoint! This property was exactly what we were looking for when we started planning our trip out west! From the location to the hospitality, Querencia is the place for big families and all ages. Joe had all the secret local knowledge and was more than welcoming! We recommend this property to anyone looking to spend time in Yellowstone and Bozeman while also enjoying the stunning land that is Montana! Thank you, Joe and thank you, Querencia!

Paradise Valley
Querencia Lodge is ideally situated for fly fishers interested in YNP, the upper Yellowstone River, the Boulder, the Gallatin, the Madison and all the smaller creeks in those drainages. It's a hop/skip/jump to the Paradise Valley Spring Creeks. The fly shop just up the road in Emigrant, Angler's West, is top notch. Joe Skaggs is a marvelous host, former guide, and world class dog trainer who is a font of wisdom, counsel, and great ideas for places to go and things to do. The views of the Gallatins, Absarokas, and Beartooths are spectacular, as are the sunrises and sunsets. There is a resident raven and the aerial battles between ospreys and bald eagles are epic. Joe owns some amazing retrievers and bird dogs, but his special pet is Lady Grizz, his cat! The lodge is a great place to stay and to hang out, very comfortable. The fire pit is fun too! You can walk down to the Yellowstone and throw a line if you wish! Our group of eight would love to come back!

Breathtaking 360 Panoramic Views!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Querencia in Paradise Valley. The house has plenty of space to enjoy gatherings or have privacy. The kitchen is more than adequately appointed with anything you could ever think to need. The outside space is perfectly set up with decks and a stone fire pit. Joe and Mike's hospitality is incredible. They are there to help connect you with any type of activity or guide you're looking for. We did do a float on the river with Joe which was wonderful. My husband coordinated with a Fly Fishing instructor and caught lots of fish!! There are no words to describe the views from this amazing lodge. The ever changing light from the early hours of the day on into the evening that reflects against the backdrop of the Mountains and the valley leading up to them is just jaw dropping. There is no other place like it. We will definitely be back.

Another visit to one of our favorite places.
This is a very comfortable house in an ideal location .jorvmakes a huge effort to offer suggestions and attend immediately to any small issues that may arise. Well equipped with Leicester linens on comfortable beds. Eating outdoors in the evening surrounded by Mountain View’s cannot be beaten.

Just PERFECT! We felt like we visited a friend that we already miss.
When you think Montana, you think of a lodge out in the middle of nowhere. This is it! It’s about 15 minutes to Chico Hot Springs one way, Livingston another and Gardiner south. We enjoyed all three. The lodge and the surroundings are all just beautiful. The owner operates a dog kennel on the property and has chickens. The children especially enjoyed the dogs. We enjoyed Joe, the owner. We also enjoyed the fresh eggs he brought in daily. It was a very short walk to the Yellowstone River and beautiful scenery all around with two or three different mountain ranges. We loved the decor of the lodge. Everything we needed was right there. I hope to be able to stay there again next year. Tell Joe hello for me!!!
