Why guests choose it
Specific, practical, and quiet on purpose
The Cottage works because it gives travelers a quiet place to land between bigger Montana days.
Open ground, dark sky, and a pond out back
Real space around the cottage. The kind of dark sky most travelers forget exists. Mule deer at dusk and horses grazing in the next pasture.
Built like the place we'd want to find
King bed with luxurious linens, a full kitchen with sharp knives, an electric fireplace, and a back porch pointed at the Absarokas. Cook a steak, pour a drink, pull out the maps.
A practical base for the whole valley
Forty-five minutes to Yellowstone's North Entrance. Twenty to Chico Hot Springs. Fifteen to dinner in Livingston. The Yellowstone River runs the whole drive.

The Cottage
A quiet landing spot that makes the Montana part of your trip the part you remember
The Cottage is a single-room studio on the old Knoll's hackle place — about 800 square feet, built for two, set back from the road on the family's Paradise Valley property. King bed, full kitchen, a fireplace seating area, and windows pointed at the Absarokas. It's the only stay on the property right now. The Flyshop opens later.
- Forty-five minutes to Yellowstone's North Entrance, twenty to Chico Hot Springs
- Pet-friendly — most of our guests bring a dog
- Back porch pointed at the Absarokas. Milky Way visible with the naked eye
Your Montana landing spot
A better rhythm for a short Paradise Valley stay
For most guests, The Cottage is not the whole trip. It is the quiet part that makes the rest of the trip work.
Pull off the highway
Past Livingston, south on 89, the Absarokas open up on your left. You'll feel the shoulders drop before you reach the gate.
Settle in
Drop the bags, start the kettle, walk the property. The pond is behind the cottage. The mountains are out every window.
Go do the thing you came for
Yellowstone, the river, a hot spring, a trailhead, a long lunch in Livingston. We'll tell you which one fits the day.
Come back to dark sky
Cook in. Read by the fire. Step outside before bed and listen to how loud the quiet is.

What guests keep saying
“Best stargazing area I have ever experienced. You see Mule deer coming to bed down at night, and the horses made me feel even more at home.”
“The posting under-represents the views from the back porch. Absolute beautiful views of the mountains at sunrise and sunset.”
“Coffee on the back porch listening to songbirds and watching the horses graze in the next pasture. It was perfect.”
