Emigrant House | Horse Ranch on the Yellowstone River. Close to Gardiner and Yellowstone Park.

2 Bedroom House in Emigrant

If you are looking for a perfect base camp to explore Yellowstone National Park and Montana, you've found it! Our guest house is situated on the banks of the Yellowstone River, just 17 miles north of Yellowstone National Park. It is a free standing structure which sleeps 4 comfortably. Stay with us and you'll have easy access to the river, the national park, and the rest of the "Big Sky" state of Montana.
Our family raises horses and maintains pasture and grazing for clients. In the summer, you'll witness the everyday chores of a working ranch--irrigating, haying, fencing, etc. In other seasons, breeding and training horses take up good parts of the day. While you enjoy the peace and quiet of this agrarian setting, rest assured that it's a short ride to the amenities of town. We think it's the best of both worlds.
National parks, you may know, are not pet-friendly. We offer a variety of kenneling choices for dogs, and corrals or stalls for horses. Guests are free to keep their pets in the guest house, if they wish.
Children especially, but adults as well, are encouraged to enjoy our cats and dogs, collect fresh eggs from the chicken coop, watch as horses are trained in the round pen or as ferriers tack shoes on their hooves. It's a safe, fascinating environment, and a welcomed reprieve from the rigors of traveling.
We're happy to help you plan your days, in and around the Yellowstone ecosystem. Hopefully, you'll return home with an idea of what life is like on a ranch, as well as many memories of Yellowstone Park and "Big Sky" country.

Summary: We stayed almost 3 weeks and just about everything you'd need is there with wonderfull snowy views. If you go in winter, be sure to get a 4WD that sits a littke higher than a sedan.

Summary: Great location, 16 miles from Gardiner (northwest entrance). Very clean place, Vern was very helpful on his suggestions as to where to visit. We visited all the locations at YNP, went to Jackson hole and big sky. Definitely would visit again.

Summary: Our stay at the Horse Ranch next to the Yellowstone river was excellent. The House was clean and very nicely decorated. The host lived in a house nearby and he was very cordial and gave us recommendations on the park and nearby areas for seeing wildlife. Being a horse ranch my daughter immediately gravitated to the horses as they were just next door . I would highly recommend this house to anyone looking to be close to Yellowstone but do not want to stay in one of the hotels in Gardiner, MT.

Summary: We had a wonderful stay. The Cabin was very clean and comfortable. The location is very quiet and peaceful with the flow of the river just steps away. The Smiths went above and beyond to make us feel like old friends. We were given tips on good trails to hike and how to catch a trout. We can’t wait to go back and see the Smiths!

Summary: This property was perfect for our family. It was peaceful and just far enough away from town to get a break from the crowded areas but still within reach. The drive to Gardiner through Yankee Jim Canyon was gorgeous! The patio had great Yellowstone river views and we loved chilling in the comfortable wooden rocking chairs, having campfires and grilling out. Our 2 boys loved skipping rocks down a steep path at the riverbank, collecting dead branches along the river brush to add to the fire, and sleeping up in the loft. Climbing the giant ladder with their suitcases was no issue! They also loved playing fetch with the ranch dog Coda and the opportunity to pet all of the horses! We had a fun excursion just up the road, bear watching with more great scenic views with very few people around! It was a bit like a locals secret! The property owners chatted with us a few times to give us some great spots to check out and make sure we we had everything we needed. They were kind and welcoming. Even some nice little touches with some fresh eggs and offers of picking garden vegies. The cabin set up was unique and added to the rustic ranch feel while being very clean and very well kept. My only regret is staying only 3 nights! This cabin is a little gem and so worth the unique experience!

Summary: Our family of four absolutely loved our stay at the horse ranch. It was the perfect place to rest and rejuvenate after long days in Yellowstone park. The atmosphere was so beautiful and serene, and the house had plenty of space snd ashl the amenities we needed to feel at home. The hosts were extremely hospitable, and went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed. They gave us recommendations for our stay, and even allowed us to collect eggs from the chickens for breakfast and harvest greens in the garden for dinner! We would go back to this beautiful destination in a heartbeat. Highly recommended!

Summary: We had such an amazing experience at this horse ranch! The owners let our girls take on some of the duties of ranch life by gathering eggs, tending to the horses and more! We got to see a lot of wildlife staying here! Our children loved being able to climb the ladder to their loft! So much a memorable stay!

Summary: We had a fantastic time at the Smith Ranch! Laura & Vern were fantastic! They took time out of their busy schedules to give great suggestions about the park. The Ranch was so peaceful and was a great fit for our family of 4! We sure appreciated the hospitality and friendliness of the Smith’s. This place has everything you need! The closed bridge made things a bit longer to get out to the main road, other than that everything was perfect!
