The Log Cabin:
If you are
looking for a
private, clean, well appointed, restful cabin in which to spend your
precious getaway time, Cabin in Paradise will be the right place for
you. Although a bit off the beaten path, the cabin is located
very near major Montana attractions. Chico Hot Springs
Resort,
famous for its pools filled with straight out of the ground pure
mineral water, is only a mile away. If hiking and exploring
are
your passions, just step out the door and you will find yourself facing
fascinating miles of Montana trails and back country beauty.
Would your rather catch a big trout? No problem!
The
world famous Yellowstone River is only five miles away and mountain
streams flow down into Paradise Valley. Mountain lakes are also among
the area attractions. Most all guests want to head to
Yellowstone
National Park and its one of a kind scenery. Make sure you
bring
your camera along to capture and take home pictures of the area
wildlife.

The
cabin has its own private yard which is fenced and lined with shady
trees. The cabin thus stays cool in the summer. The
covered
front porch with lounge chairs is a perfect place to relax with a
morning mug of coffee or to stargaze at night. The yard has
a
picnic table, grill, and log lawn swing.

“As we sat on the swing and let our minds be quiet, the sound
of the wind and
the gentle tumbling
of Emigrant Creek reminded us to be quiet my friends,
and be aware of a
beautiful pageant in play around you.”

Cabin
in Paradise is located in the
historic, charming, and tiny community of Old Chico, Montana. Our quiet
little town does not have a stop sign, pop machine, or even one store
but it’s long on history and conveniently close to many popular
destinations of tourist interest. Here, remnants of mining activity
dating from 1864 to the 1940’s will stir the imagination and entice
visitors to trace the steps of miners and mules while exploring the raw
and awesome magnificence found along Emigrant Gulch Road by Emigrant
Creek. The road ends high in the mountains after approximately eight
miles of awesome rugged grandeur. The crystal clear waters tumbling and
splashing down from the lofty peaks sing to the senses while cooling
the gulch to a pleasant 50 or 60 degrees on summer evenings.

Make us
your base camp in the
spring when area ranchers move herds of cattle to summer grazing in the
high meadows, when young elk, deer, and antelope are appearing in the
pastures, when mists climb the mountains, and the wildflowers abound.
Or visit us in the summer to fly fish the famous streams and lakes,
hike, horseback ride, mountain bike, kayak, or float the crystal area
waters. Summer is the time to take in a rodeo or attend many other
colorful local events. In the fall when the cottonwoods, aspens, and
the hillsides turn vivid gold against the purple mountains, you will
want a camera along for sure. Montana winter is so special as quiet
descends and the peaks shine with caps of new snow. It is fun to listen
and to hear no sounds at all. Winter is the perfect time to snowshoe
or cross-country ski or to simply hole up in our cozy cabin with hot
apple cider. Whatever season you choose to come visit us, here in this
last best place there is a certainty...the Montana
big sky Paradise Valley area will put on
a show for all.

“We
had a wonderful time...great hiking, fishing, and wildlife spotting.
Our list includes 5 grizzly bears, including a female with two cubs, a
black bear with two cubs, numerous elk, bison, bighorn sheep, mule
deer, coyote, and lots of trout.”

Driving Directions ~
|
Take
U.S. Highway 89 south out of Livingston, MT. or north out of Gardiner,
MT. Go to Emigrant, Montana…you will see a blinking yellow
light
here. Turn east (left if coming from Livingston, right if
coming
from Gardiner) and drive past the Emigrant General Store. In
a
short distance you will cross the Yellowstone River and continue to the
T intersection. (Look for the Paradise Valley Fire Dept.
building
directly across the road.) Turn left at the T and travel
approximately one half mile. Turn right at the first possible
turn. Travel up to Chico Hot Springs Resort. Drive
completely through the resort without turning. At the back
parking lot you will see a gravel road near the chain link
fence.
Continue on this road for a bit over one mile. Turn left on
Emigrant Creek Rd. Cabin in Paradise is the third building on
the
left hand side of the road. Additional tip: We are
five
miles from Emigrant and a bit over one mile from Chico Hot
Springs. If you still can’t find us…please feel free to
call. Have a great trip. We are looking forward to
your
visit!
