Lone Cactus Cottage Paradise Valley

Peaceful, cozy.,clean, breathtaking views, are just some of the things the guests frequently say. Relax in front of the living room gas fireplace, or if you prefer the crackling sound and smell of a wood burning fireplace mosey on out to the outdoor pavilion, such an amazing spot. Sit a spell on the front or side porch and enjoy the morning and evening sky color show.
*****The neighborhood information was added by VRBO, we are not located in Livingston, we are in the heart of Paradise Valley. No Idea where they source their info but they have been unable to correct it and the Gallatin National forest is over an hour away*****

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!

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.

Fantastic!
Paradise Valley is an incredible place and this cabin is perfect. Isolated but close to Chico Hot Springs and a short drive to both Gardiner/Yellowstone and Livingston. Inside is really well laid out and cozy. We had some trouble with our car in the snow and the owners were on it with shovels and a snowplow and nothing but hospitality. We will be back for sure! This is quintessential Montana! Don’t miss this one:)

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

We really enjoyed the cottage. Didn’t get to enjoy areas outside due to rain. And unfortunately due to Yellowstone River flooding we had to leave a day early. Judy & Terry were very accommodating!

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.
