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.

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.

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!

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!

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.

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.

Beautiful Home & Mountain Location

Home was sufficient for 8 adults and 2 kids never felt like we were tripping over one another. Danyalle was always available via text or in person. Kids took the loft which they loved but it does get warm up there a fan is provided. All beds/pillows were very comfortable. If you like the outdoors this home sits high up on a mountain side. An SUV or truck is highly recommended on the narrow dirt road. We all totally enjoyed the experience. Danyalle gave us directions to go farther up the mountain to watch the grizzlies which we did. Awesome!!

Elk Run Ranch

The house and property are first rate. Beautiful house. Well stocked. Clean and comfortable. The only issue that I would earn anyone about is the directions and quality of the road that accesses the property. The Tim Miner bridge has been washed out for over a year and the directions to the property have not been updated. That’s the way you’d normally get off hwy 89 for a short trip. As it is now, you have to exit on to the old Yellowstone road and drive at least 20 minutes on a washboard rough poorly maintained road which takes a half hour. This will add approximately 45 extra minutes to get to Gardiner because there’s no other way to get there. We chose this house for the great reviews and the proximity. The reviews are for real. The close proximity, not quite so much. There were minor maintenance things that need to be addressed. The dryer wasn’t drying because there was a dangerous amount of lint built up at the outside vent. Once we cleared that the dryer worked fine. The downstairs bathroom sink needs some clearing as it tends to stop up. We didn’t fix that. Again, relatively minor issues except the road issue. That’s a little more aggravating but this is meant to be a great review of the property. We have owned our own VRBO property before and feel obliged to point out anything that would impact a stay. The manager did say they tried to email me through VRBO re the bridge. After we booked. That info should have already been updated as it’s relevant
