Cabin in Paradise Montana Cabin Near Emigrant Paradise Valley Yellowstone Park Chico Hot Springs Old Chico.

Cabin in Paradise is located in the historic, charming, and tiny community of Old Chico, Montana. 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 grandeur found along Emigrant Gulch Road and Emigrant Creek. The crystal clear waters tumbling and splashing down from the lofty mountains sing to the senses while cooling the area to a pleasant 50 or 60 degrees on summer evenings. Old Chico is located in the scenic little valley so aptly named Paradise Valley. We are on the west facing slopes of the Absaroka Mountain Range, between the huge and sprawling Chico Peak and the lofty reaches of Emigrant Peak.

The Cabin

The log cabin was recently stripped to the walls and completely redone. Airy and comfortable, with a high ceiling, it's decorated with handcrafted pine and antique furniture. It's comprised of a great room, kitchen with dining table and chairs, new refrigerator and range, microwave, coffeemaker,dishes, tableware, pots and pans, linens and paper products. Added on at the time of renovation is a new bathroom with shower, linens, and necessary bath items.

There's a small library of videos, books, and games. A covered front porch with lounge chairs leads to a fenced, private, and shady tree lined yard. There is a picnic table, kettle grill, and lawn swing. Outside is a great place to relax with a mug of coffee or stargaze at night. Local phone and parking is available. Heavily insulated and shaded, the cabin stays cool in summer and toasty warm in winter.

Area Interests

Make us your base camp in springtime when ranchers move herds of cattle, young elk, deer, and antelope are appearing in the meadows, mists climb the mountains, and wildflowers abound. Or visit in the summer to fly fish, hike, horseback ride, bike or float the rivers and lakes. Take in a rodeo and other colorful local events. In fall when the cottonwood, aspens, and hillsides turn vivid gold against the purple mountains you will want a camera along. Winter is so special as quiet descends and the peaks shine with caps of new snow. Whatever the season there is a certainty...the big sky will put on a show for all!
