Crabapple Cabin-Secluded Cabin on the Banks of the Yellowstone River

Montana doesn't get any more real than this. We invite you to our secluded historic cabin 30 feet away from the Yellowstone River in the heart of Paradise Valley. Come and stay awhile, watch the river go by and listen to the sounds of the Yellowstone River's great birds moving over the river from the cabin deck. If you're quiet, you can hear the wind from their wings in flight just feet away from you.

You may want to play a little game of horseshoes before grilling up a good dinner on the barbecue grill. Toss in your fishing line from the property's banks or launch a raft and sail away. Or you could just soak up the sights and sounds until your appetite gets you moving to dine at Chico or the many other nearby dining choices.

The manicured mature trees and shrubs on the property provide an idyllic park-like setting. There is a fire pit and benches for a relaxing evening fire, long conversations and marshmallow roasting. Count on having an all-wheel drive vehicle for the driveway. It's a steep one!

Guests must have an all-wheel drive vehicle. The driveway down to the cabin is very steep. Front wheel drive vehicles do not have enough power to make it up the driveway. Owners can assist guests with non all-wheel drive with options to access the cabin upon request. Do not attempt to drive down the driveway pulling an RV, or trailer unless approved by owner first.

So cozy and Adorable nice cabin
Relaxing, quiet, beautiful view, great location near where my son lives. My husband loved the fishing he usually uses a fly rod but was just fine with the poled. So quaint and adorable. One thing but not a complaint wished there was closet space. But over all a 10 +. We loved it.❤️❤️❤️

Perfect River Property
We loved the cabin - secluded, right in the river. We did need our 4WD to get up and down the hill! The beds were heaven - super, super, super comfy. Ralph and Jackie were wonderful hosts - even loaning us a cooler! We loved it. Would definitely go back!

Our new favorite place!
Thank you so much Jackie and Ralph for sharing your cabin with us! We loved everything about the history of the cabin and how beautifully restored it was. The property is magical in every way. Being right on the river and having the ability to walk along the shore was everything we needed with the pups! We would love to come back!

Everything was very nice but I would recommend a couple of bug zappers as bugs would get into the cabin daily. Also the shower is very small so it might be helpful to disclose that.

Awesome cabin with beautiful views!!
This cabin was small and quaint and was perfect for our family visting Yellowstone National Park. The property is immaculate and you are literally on the banks of the Yellowstone river, so fly fisherman take note. Its about a 30 minute drive to Gardiner and the north entrance to Yellowstone. The views from paradise valley were amazing during sunset while sitting by the river. Highly recommended A+++

Riverfront in Paradise Valley
We had a wonderful weeklong stay at this cabin. It was our first time to Montana, and wanted to be right on the river, and were not disappointed. The location was perfect, halfway between Livingston and Yellowstone Park. And not far from Bozeman. The property is very private. The cabin is authentic, small, yet comfortable. (We were 2 adults and a dog.) The kitchen is a good size with everything you need, including a fairly large fridge. The bathroom is nice, although the shower is very small. And the outside deck is awesome. You can watch, and hear the river, from the deck, which is very soothing. Or sit right at the riverbank and enjoy it up close. We'd see bald eagles, and deer came through the property in the early morning and late evening. A couple of things to be aware of ... if you're coming in the summer, bring insect repellent ... and you'll need 4 Wheel Drive or a capable AWD vehicle to get down to the cabin. The gravel road is very steep. All in all, it's a great property, and one that we will want to come back to.

Secret slice of heaven on the Yellowstone
We are so thrilled we got to experience this slice of heaven on the Yellowstone river. Such an adorable cabin that made a journey to where it now sits so perfect on the river. Perfect distance from Livingston and the Yellowstone Park. Our trip was very adventurous starting with our first day being a day full of snow and then it tapering off to being an amazing 4 more days of gorgeous weather. My husband caught a brown trout and many white fish right off the banks by the cabin. We saw a variety of animals from Otters, Beavers, Bald eagles to your typical ducks, geese, hawks and many other types of birds. Ralph and Jackie were amazing. Ralph met us at the cabin to make sure that we could turn on the heat since it was a snowy day and talked with my husband to make sure that we were squared away. He also makes amazing wine!!! We didn't get to meet Jackie but she was in constant contact with us thru email and was kind enough to help us out when we accidentally locked ourselves out of the cabin when we headed out super early to Yellowstone Park. The cabin is perfect for two people so if you are just wanting a getaway with you and your loved one it is perfect. We will definitely be going back. I 100% recommend this cute little gem in the woods. Thank you Ralph and Jackie

Crabapple Cabin
We had a wonderful week at Crabapple Cabin. For a private spot along the Yellowstone River, it can't be beat. Our dog loved the large yard and we loved the views of the river and the Beartooth Mountains to the east and the Gallatins to the west. The cabin is small but comfortable. Jackie and Ralph are wonderful hosts. All was great!

Respite!
A cozy cottage on the water. I was able to get some writing done and got some wonderful rest. I went into Bozeman for the day to do some things, took a nearby hike, and the best was watching my dogs. Have such an incredible time. The cabin has everything you need in the bed was so delicious look comfy. Jackie is a very gracious hostess! I will most certainly be back, and send friends!

Peaceful and secluded cabin
Our stay at the Crabapple Cabin was terrific. The cabin had spectacular access to the Yellowstone River and we really enjoyed being able to fish from the riverbank. The quiet and privacy of the cabin is exactly what we needed to relax and recharge.

Cool cabin with great river access
Two of us who were on a guys road trip stayed at the Crabapple Cabin so we could fish the Yellowstone River. The river access from this cabin is incredible. You can fish from the bank right in front of the cabin and catch fish or you can walk the bank up and down the river. We used waders so we could fish in the water and go up and down the river that way as well. The cabin is in a great location in Paradise Valley with many other fishing access points within an easy drive. The cabin itself has everything you will need for your stay. The bedroom situation for two guys to stay there wasn't ideal but we made it work. The outside deck is awesome. We had mule deer in the yard everyday and could watch other wildlife as well. The owners are close by and are very easy to reach in case you need anything. Emigrant has a great BBQ restaurant, bakery, saloon and a convenience store that has a good selection. The fly shop there is great as well for all of your fly fishing needs.

Private Paradise on the River
My husband and I had an incredible stay at Crabapple Cabin with our dog. The cabin was comfortable and welcoming, in fact we extended our stay 2 days after we just didn't want to leave! Jackie and Ralph were incredible hosts, communication was always very quick and easy. The location is perfect, right on the river, and you can fish off the bank easily. There's also a public fishing spot a few properties down that gives more space if needed. Short distance to shopping in Bozeman, dining in Livingston, and grabbing coffee and pastries in Emigrant. Tons of wildlife in the surrounding areas, eagles, elk, deer and grizzlies. Can't wait to come back!

Wonderful getaway cabin!
My wife and I chose to visit Montana for our honeymoon and found the listing for this wonderful little cabin. We couldn't be happier with it. When we arrived, Jackie and Ralph were just so kind and friendly. They are great people. Ralph showed us the cabin, even though he was still recovering from knee surgery from just a couple weeks earlier. He made sure we knew where everything was. The cabin is literally a stone's throw from the Yellowstone river. It's less than 100ft away. While we were unloading our luggage, 2 whitetail doe's pranced through the yard right past my wife. She was beaming with joy! I hope that we can stay here again in a few years! Thanks Ralph and Jackie!
