Brief Description: This newly remodeled, western style ranch house enjoys a beautiful location on the Yellowstone River south of Livingston.

General location: The home is about 25 minutes south of Livingston, and just 25 minutes north of Yellowstone Park. Bozeman is an hour away.

Bedrooms: The home has three bedrooms, all decorated very tastefully, with a western theme. The master bedroom has a king size bed and a large private bath. The second bedroom has a queen size bed. The third has two twin beds. There is a second full bath in the house just off the living area. For additional sleeping options, there is a day bed on the front porch that pulls out into two twin beds. River Rose can accommodate up to eight guests.

Kitchen: The large, open kitchen has a gas range and oven, a dishwasher and a microwave. There is lots of counter space, including a counter island area with bar stools for folks to sit and chat with the cook. The kitchen is fully equipped with everything you'll need as far as cookware and serving ware, and there is a spice cabinet with all the basics.

Dining room: The dining room table seats six comfortably. There is also seating for four at the kitchen bar counter.

Living room: The comfortable living room has a wood stove to warm up near on those chilly evenings, lots of couches and chairs to sit and relax, and a television and VCR with satellite service. There is a small portable stereo that will play cd's and tapes.

Setting, acreage, views: River Rose is located on a small ranch, about 40 acres, in the Paradise Valley. As you enter the property, the long driveway weaves between a few horse pastures until you reach the River Rose home, situated right on the banks of the Yellowstone River. A large grassy lawn area out front is perfect for kids to play, and to enjoy the fantastic views of the Absaroka Mountains. There is a property caretaker that looks after the owners' horses, as well as the River Rose home. The caretaker's residence is far enough away that your privacy is ensured, yet he can be easily reached if there is a need for that. Out in back of the home, the river flows by just feet from the back door. A large grove of cottonwood trees provides some nice shady areas for picnics on those sunny days.

Outdoor amenities: There is plenty of outdoor seating for barbecues, as well as a gas grill. Enjoy the views and the river frontage provided at River Rose! A natural boat launch allows you to start or end your float trip right at the house.

Services available: The rental rate includes an end of stay cleaning. For guests who stay two weeks or more, a weekly cleaning will be done. Additional housekeeping, as well as catering service and grocery shopping can be arranged with a bit of prior notice.

Activities nearby: Fishing, hiking, rafting, horseback riding, visiting Yellowstone Park and just relaxing and getting away from it all! Chico Hot Springs, a charming, historic establishment, is just ten minutes or so away - with fine dining, casual dining, hot springs fed pools for soaking, and even live music.

The towns of Livingston and Gardiner are both about 25-30 minutes away, with shopping, galleries, restaurants, etc. The town of Bozeman and Gallatin Field Airport are just over an hour away.

Other details: No smoking is allowed in the home. No pets are allowed on the property or in the home without prior written approval from Mountain Home. There is a private phone and a laundry room with a washer and dryer. All Mountain Home properties have fully equipped kitchens, and include good quality kitchen, bath and bed linens, and staples like paper goods, laundry, dish and hand soaps.
