This was a wonderful property!!! Beautifully decorated, clean and the host was amazing. It was perfectly situated between Livingston and Yellowstone National Park. It was also much more spacious than we had anticipated. We were pleasantly surprised. We definitely recommend choosing this property.

Our family was stuck in a blizzard which delayed our arrival. The property manager did not respond to our emails over the weekend and denied any request for a refund and was rude in his response. The door was left unlocked and the hot tub was turned off and we had to wait a day for the hot tub to heat up. All of our previous experiences with VBRO's have been great, but this one was not.

We loved it! The location was great…beautiful views of the Yellowstone River & surrounding mountains! The house was stocked with plenty of items needed for cooking. The twin beds in the loft area were great for our two littles. We weren’t used to dealing with baseboard heaters, so it took us a couple of days to get our temp figured out. Would definitely recommend staying here!

Unfortunately we were in Yellowstone when flooding and evacuation took place. Many of the surrounding communities suffered minor and major damages including some of the roadways and bridges. The communication with the owners/rental facility were awesome in communicating with us days leading up to our rental. They let us know when and what roads were open and if the bridges passed safety inspections etc. After being evacuated from the NP it was so relaxing to spend a few quiet calm days at this beautiful home! Watched deer stroll past our hot tub in the evening, spotted eagles and enjoyed sipping wine watching the sunsets. We also made a trip to the local saloon for a live concert that raised money for the locals! Such great people and great country!

Love, love, love Chicory on the Yellowstone! Fantastic location close to everything in the valley. Home is as good as the photos show. Very clean, so comfortable and very well stocked. I will definitely be staying here again.

Property was amazing! Right next to the Yellowstone river! Off the beaten path, have to drive a bit to a grocery store but that’s what we wanted! The property does seem a bit smaller than the pictures but perfect for 4-6 people. The kitchen is stocked up with most of your needs. Check to see what’s there before going to the grocery store. We will be back! Thanks!

We had an amazing stay during our time in Pray. The house is great. Having the Yellowstone river in the backyard was awesome and seeing elk on the mountainside nearly everyday was incredible. The location is also perfect for our trips into Yellowstone and Bozeman. The only thing I would change would be to make a better path down to the river because when it snowed it was hard to get up and down the steep hill. Overall we loved the house and would definitely come back.

The house was quite adequate for four adults. The kitchen was well equipped and the fireplace had plenty of firewood. The weather was quite cold and windy, which we loved as long as we could still drive. (A challenge for Southern US natives but the roads were groomed and accessible. ). It would be a perfect location in Summer if you enjoy fishing. Only negatives were a small housekeeping issue we could handle ourselves and a lack of soap in the bath and shower. All in all a positive stay.

We had such a great stay at the Chicory. The house was so cozy and inviting. The view is unbeatable! The sound of the river was calming and the neighborhood was quiet. It felt very private and isolated even though it wasn’t. The fireplace was a nice touch too. It’s a nice, centrally located place if you want to avoid the hustle and bustle of Bozeman but be close enough to spend the day there. Perfect location if you’re headed to Yellowstone! The owner was so nice too! Overall, an amazing stay!

Pictures don’t do this property justice. It’s so beautiful and peaceful. The hot tub is the perfect spot to relax and take in the scenery. The Old Saloon right down the road is great for a cocktail, and definitely stop for a soak in the nearby hot springs. We are already planning our next trip back.

We chose this property based on the location to the north Yellowstone entrance (an easy and beautifully scenic 40-45min drive) for our Thanksgiving vacation for our family of 5. Since the park is only open on this entrance in the fall year round, we chose it and it DID not disappoint. It’s not often that the property you stay at outshines the listing photos - it’s even better in the person. From the location, to the views (from every window in the house), to the cleanliness and quality of the home - it far exceeded our expectations. I highly recommend this place if you want to experience a less-touristy part of Montana and truly enjoy the splendor the area has to offer as a local. Everyone had their own bed (which all were comfortable, by the way).
We saw wildlife right from the back porch on a daily basis. Multiple bald Eagle sightings, mule deer in the dozens - and a huge buck ran across the front yard and backyard on two different occasions. Our family will forever remember this trip and staying in this home was a big part of that. Take a swim in Chico Hot Springs, only a 15 minute drive south. It’s definitely an experience worth having! Grab a burger at the Saloon right next to it- you won’t be disappointed!

Perfectly located just 25 minutes from North Yellowstone. Also close to mountain roads to take a hike or just sightsee. Chico Springs was just down the road and had excellent food for a nice night out. Yellowstone river is located right on the property. Highly recommend.

The view! The location! The amenities! The house was stocked with EVERYTHING we needed or could want for a carefree, relaxing vacation. Suggest that guests check in at the house first then go to the grocery store. Kitchen was stocked with many necessities that you would normally have to purchase at most rentals. Great location just a 30 minute drive to the north entrance to Yellowstone. We saw bald eagles, magpies and mule deer daily from the deck and hot tub. Fabulous vacation rental!

The views and location of this property are awesome. Its in a very peaceful location and easy to get to. The place was spotless and very well stocked and decorated tastefully for Christmas. Owner came by to check on some service he had completed just to make sure it was completed properly which it was. He was very friendly. Everyone in the community was very friendly as well. Highly recommend!

Great location, view from back porch/area is amazing and there were Deer in back every day. House was perfect for our group, had all the necessities needed. Can walk to the river from the back of house and fish, we even caught some trout. Must check out the Old Saloon in Emigrant! Dinner @ the Chico Hot Springs also a must. Allison was great and responsive as well. Will definately be back in Spring :)

This was the perfect place for our fall family vacation. Very nice, comfortable home accommodated our group of four very well. Nice, clean, and matched the description closely. We arrived a little ahead of 5:00 check in and met the welcoming owners, who let us in a bit early to unload groceries. Thank you! The well-appointed kitchen made meal making a breeze. Some 5 star pointers for future visitors: Angler’s West Fly Fishing Outfitters guided a superb day-long adventure down the Yellowstone (thanks to Eric, Lance, and Matt); the local general store in Emigrant is well-stocked, reasonably priced and is run by terrific people; dinner at Chico Hot Springs is a must. And then there’s Yellowstone... a spectacular one hour drive to the north entrance. We recommend doing them all! The Chico home is situated so well for all these adventures and boasts a gorgeous view of the Yellowstone River. In the dark of night, enjoy an incredible blanket of stars in the sky. A great experience overall!
