Spacious Farm House on the working historic Story Ranch, private river access

Fridley Creek Hideaway is half a mile from Highway 89, 30 minutes north of Yellowstone National Park and in the heart of Paradise Valley. The Yellowstone River is less than 1 mile from the house is a world renowned fly fishing destination.

This house is perfect for the avid fly-fisherman/woman. The famous Story Lakes are less than 5 miles up the dirt road and all you have to do is contact Belinda Story, the owner, for rod fees and availability. You must call Belinda and pay the rod fee before going to either the lower or upper lake. No trespassing past the gate if you are not confirmed and paying a rod fee to fish or sight see. There are a limited number of rods available per day so call in advance. No hiking to the lakes without paying a rod fee and advance reservation.

For those who do not want to pay a rod fee to fish or pay to see the lakes, there is a private fishing access point across highway 89 on the Yellowstone River.

Fridley Creek Hideaway is situated on the oldest cattle ranch in Montana. In 1866 Nelson Story traveled to Texas where he bought 1,000 longhorn cattle. He and 13 tough cowboys trailed them from Texas to Montana arriving in the Bozeman area in December 1866. Around 1870 Story relocated the main headquarters of the ranch to the Emigrant area.

The wrap around deck lends a spectacular view of Emigrant Peak. The house is nestled in trees and surrounded by old ranching equipment and outbuildings, giving it a unique western vibe. The creek is a short walk from the house and fishing access points on the Yellowstone River are a 5 minute drive north to the Emigrant fishing access.

The house is great for a lucky couple or group of 6 people or less. The kitchen and large mudroom area are upstairs with a washer and dryer. The kitchen upstairs is spacious with a round table and bar area separating it from the upstairs living area. There are two bedrooms and that share a full bathroom. One queen room and one room with two twins.

The basement was recently refinished with a beautiful and bright wooden floor and exposed brick. The living area has ping pong and comfortable seating. Downstairs also has a king bedroom and a full bathroom.

The house is surrounded by a small yard with ample space to walk around, ride your bike, or take a run. We have a grill for cooking outside. The kitchen is well equipped with everything you may need.
