About this property

Lone Cactus Cottage Paradise Valley

  • Nestled in the heart of Paradise Valley, surrounded by breathtaking mountain views too amazing to describe, the skies turn so many different colors in the evening its hard to decide which direction to look. and If it rains make sure to look for the full double rainbows. The Ranch House Cottage is cozy, sparkling clean, all the amenities of home and more. The actual Ranch House is attached via Breezeway and is a separate vacation rental. Cottage remains totally private. No Shared spaces - only the views. All the amenities on the north end are for the cottage guests enjoyment ( horse shoe pits and fireplace pavilion).
    Ranch House guests stay on the south end of the property.

Perfect location for Paradise Valley vacation

Hosts could not have been nicer. All the modern conveniences of home and a perfect location near Chico, Yellowstone Valley Lodge and Sage Lodge for dining options. Private and quiet. Very happy with our stay!

Incredible property

We had an amazing stay at the lone cactus. From the views to the outdoor pavilion to the inside of the property everything was what we thought it would be and more. This will certainly be our first choice anytime we visit the region. I truly don’t think there is a better option out there!

Wonderful cabin with all the amenities. Comfortable, just right with incredible views of paradise valley. Husband and I fly fish YNP, Yellowstone River and other rivers each year. Perfect location for easy access to Lamar valley, Yellowstone River and some private ranch creeks to fish. Great food and general store within 8 minutes from cabin. Only 25 min to Livingston or Gardiner ad well! Our favorite home base for the park for hiking and fishing to come home to cook and have wine on the porch and play cards!

Stunning

Our family stayed here as a base for exploring yellowstone. The cottage is exactly as it appears, it is just beautiful! The decor and design is very comfortable. We very much looked forward to coming back after long days exploring and hiking. The views are spectacular and you really feel like you are away from it all. The cottage has everything you need to cook in style which is really great! We really enjoyed the stay and do not hesitate to book as it really is as good as it looks!!!

Jewel in Paradise Valley

The Lone Cactus cabin is a jewel in the heart of Paradise Valley. It’s a cozy spot to hole up in the snow and the perfect location to explore Yellowstone and the backroads in the area. The cabin is well furnished with a comfortable bed and just about anything you might need. Restaurants (Chico was a fav) and the Emigrant store (anything you desire) are nearby. Looking forward to a return. Thanks to the owners for their warm hospitality!

Lone Cactus Stay

Our experience staying in this cottage was wonderful. We originally were hoping to stay on site at Chico Hot Springs. They were completely booked out and ended up staying here. Blessing in disguise. It is such a beautiful and quiet area to stay. The weather was less than desirable. We were glad to have somewhere cozy to stay. We will definitely be coming back for a summer trip. The property owners were wonderful and made communication very easy.

So sad to leave!

We absolutely loved our stay at the Lone Cactus Cottage. This is such an idyllic little cottage perfectly located in Paradise Valley. As soon as we pulled off the road and spied our "little house on the prairie", we knew that we'd booked the perfect place. The 360 degree views, the adorable cottage and our sweet hosts, made this one of the best vacation rentals that we've ever stayed at. Situated perfectly in-between Livingston and Gardiner, the cottage is well positioned for day trips to Yellowstone National Park but also close enough (25 min drive) to the culinary delights of Livingston to the north. The cottage is immaculate and has all the conveniences that will make your stay enjoyable. While we stayed here for just 6 nights, we could have easily stayed much longer in such a well appointed rental. We will miss seeing the cows out of the back kitchen window, the deer grazing in the early morning and the cute little hare we saw regularly hopping around. The Lone Cactus Cottage was perfect for our first visit to Montana. We hope to be back this winter to experience this beautiful area during a different season and will most certainly be staying here again!

Wonderful Little House on the Prairie

Sometimes we think we want to be in a cabin out in the middle of nowhere, but the realities of those cabins put us off. Lone Cactus however delivers a wonderful opportunity to enjoy The Paradise Valley without giving up any comforts. As a fan of Laura Ingalls’ stories, this Little House on the Prairie really delivers!! I’ll admit to being more of a Four Seasons kind of girl than someone who enjoys camping. So I was a bit nervous about this booking. But the House is everything I could have hoped for. It’s new, clean, well decorated and had every convenience we could have wanted. The lack of a king sized bed was a negative but we found the queen bed in the master bedroom to be very comfortable. The house is inside of a neighborhood called Paradise Found made up of gravel roads and is located at the very end. It backs up to a cattle ranch so we had cows grazing (on the other side of a fence) outside the kitchen window. Very charming. We were only there for two nights and wished we could have stayed longer but our plans didn’t allow for it. We will certainly book this this property again.

Perfect Paradise Valley

This place is perfect. Stunning views in every direction. You'll rarely hear any modern ambient noises (cars, planes....) but you will hear the breeze in the tall grass, birds singing, cows lowing. The owners couldn't be nicer. The property is stocked with everything you'll need. I'll definitely go back.

August Getaway!

Amazing property in the heart of Paradise Valley! Judy and Terry were wonderful hosts and made certain to provide guidance for any guest needs. Loved meeting Amen (horse) as he is an absolute sweetheart. Comfortable furnishings, great kitchen with all amenities, a brand new covered outdoor fireplace and covered horseshoe pits. The views of the mountains are 360* and quick access to 540 for traveling. Chico Hot Springs is 10 minutes down the road as is Sage Lodge. We thoroughly enjoyed our time at the Lone Cactus and will be returning! Thank you, Rachel, Steve, and Jack

Lone Cactus cabin was the perfect place for our quick stay in Pray! It was just as beautiful in person as it was in the pictures, exceptionally clean, and even decorated for Christmas! The hosts were very attentive and made sure we had everything we needed. Close to Chico Hot Springs, Yellowstone Hot Springs, and good food and entertainment at Old Saloon. We will definitely be back!

Past wonderful

We could not have enjoyed our time in Pray at the cottage more. Everything about the cottage was the best that it could be. The is probably the best VRBO we have stayed at. We spent one day in the Park, and another day at Chico and environs, and had the cottage to come back to - which was wonderful. The cottage was a big part of a truly memorable and enjoyable trip to the Paradise Valley. Thank you for making the cottage available.
