Beautiful cabin with amazing views.

The property and cabin were amazing. The cabin was salacious for the size of our party, and was very nice. The property was perfect. The property was very peaceful with plenty of land to explore. We spent a good bit of our time just walking around the property and exploring. Communication was also great. Everytime I had question, Carol would always provide a sufficient response and gave us some great ideas, which was great especially since this was our first time to Yellowstone. I would definitely stay here again.

Great location, perfect for a family vacation

Great, quiet location with all the amenities you need for a vacation near Yellowstone. We enjoyed grilling on the front porch and the views from the balcony.

Exceeded expectations

Gorgeous home beautiful views plenty of room inside and out . Home was everything we needed for our vacation . Close enough to Yellowstone it was a short drive but away from the “tourist scene” . Would love to go back in the winter .

Amazing!!

Spectacular luxury home with amazing views from all sides. Owners have thought of everything, so it has beautiful furnishings and all of the comforts of home, plus more!! Would definitely recommend staying in this spacious home. It’s also not too far from YNP and the area around the house is great if you like to hike or fish.

Beautiful

House was large with a very large area downstairs. Nice wrap around porch where you can view wildlife in the mornings and evenings. House had AC which was a nice touch with the warmer weather In Montana. View of the mountain was beautiful. Can’t say enough about this home

Family Reunion Getaway

Elk Run Ranch was a perfect house for a small family reunion we held the week after Christmas. The house was beautiful with spectacular views of the surrounding valley and mountains. The house was a relatively short drive to the Yellowstone NP north entrance. We also enjoyed Yellowstone Hot Springs and skiing at Bridger Bowl! If you visit during the winter, I highly recommend a 4x4 or all wheel drive. Overall a great place to relax and enjoy family/friends in a very comfortable house.

Fantastic

The home was gorgeous and the views were spectacular. We were greeted by an elk in the yard and the following morning a young buck lounging under the tree. The property manager was above excellent. The only drawback and it's minor was there was not enough out door seating to accommodate all 6 of us to enjoy the wonderful large deck together.

Amazing

The photos truly don’t do this house justice!! The home is absolutely beautiful & spotless! We had 3 couples in our group and we were all more than satisfied with the size, amenities, and overall experience. Bed sheets and comforters were high end and great quality. Plenty of towels and there’s a washing machine if needed. Our only issue was we returned home one day to find the smoke detector chirping. Luckily one of the men in our group found batteries in the house and was able to easily replace it. Had we not been able to do this, it would’ve gone off all day & night until fixed, which obviously would’ve caused a problem when trying to sleep. Also, even though the listing states “fireplace” as an amenity, you’re not allowed to use them, which was a bummer. We did see a family of deer grazing in the backyard one morning, which was amazing and the drive time from the house to the North Yellowstone entrance was about 35 minutes. Overall, the house is amazing and we absolutely recommend this property!

Beautiful property Many problems

This property is beautiful; however, its beauty was overshadowed by the many problems we experienced. Upon arrival we were informed that the heat had gone out & the master shower pipes had frozen so the shower was not operational. My mobility impaired parents can not get into a tub. The next day the alarm starting going off & couldn't be shut off for 24 hours. Monday the microwave caught on fire. Wednesday the the heat went out, the property manager was no where to be found. The owner suggested we leave the house because he couldn't reach the property manager or the heating contractor. We had to cancel a tour we had for the next morning which cost us $350.00 in a cancellation fee. Later the owner calls & tells us the heating contractor is on his way. He finally leaves about 1am & the heat is restored; however, for that night & the next night, two of the bedrooms were so cold our guests had to sleep on couches. After six nights my parents really needed a shower so we left the house early & finished our stay in a hotel. The next day I spoke with the owner to try to work out reasonable compensation for all our troubles. His response was that "we should expect these kinds of problems when we come to Montana in the winter" Maybe I'm crazy but when I'm paying that kind of rate per night I actually expect everything to work. It seemed there was far more concern about what all these problems were going to cost than doing right by us. A fair resolution has not been offered.

Beautiful house! Elk Run was perfect for our Yellowstone vacation - close enough to the park but far enough from the crowds to give peace and quiet. The layout of the house is perfect for families and it was very well stocked. Tanya was a wonderful manager and responded quickly to any questions.

A great stay - once again.

This is the third time we have stayed at this property, and they never disappoint. The location is wonderful, not too far from Yellowstone, and still remote. Just what we wanted as we live in large cities.

Off the beaten path LUXURY!!

Incredible lodging and surrounding scenery. Couldn’t ask for any better views with this accommodation. Due to a bridge being washed out in a flood that created a detour, there is about 8 miles of well maintained but bumpy gravel road. The payoff is well worth the few extra miles. I would rent this place again in a heartbeat.

Great Yellowstone getaway!

Haven’t taken a family trip since 2020 and this place was truly magnificent. The moment we arrived, we all fell in awe of the place and it was breath taking. The house, both inside and out, were so neat and beautiful and we really loved it. Plenty of space and room for 7 and very close the Park! Will consider rebooking in the future!

Paradise

Perfect for family getaway as room for being together and separate. Beautifully equipped with everything you need to relax and enjoy the Montana outdoors! Hostess communication was exceptional. Getting to the ranch will be better once the Tom Miner bridge is completed.

Family vacation

Everything you could ask for and more. There were games for the kids like monopoly, plenty of paper products, towels, condiments, etc. The house itself was beautiful. Every evening we watched elk, pronghorns and deer from the deck. You could see the Yellowstone river from the house winding its way through the hills.

The cabin is awesome! The road into the property is rough. But the cabin is well worth the drive. The property manager is fast to respond to any questions or concerns.

Outstanding Yellowstone & Montana experience

House was beautiful, spacious and cozy. The views from the house were incredible, as was the area around the house - lots of wildlife and vista viewing right nearby! Convenient distance from Yellowstone’s north gate and cities like Livingston and Gardiner which had plenty of groceries, good restaurants, and anything else we needed. Would absolutely stay here again!
