About this property
Dexter Peak cabin, elegantly rustic near YNP/Chico
Dexter Peak Cabin is located near the base of the mountains on a 25 acre parcel shared with our home but still private. Close to Livingston, Chico Hot Springs, Yellowstone River, waterfalls, hiking and fishing, and 35 minutes to Yellowstone Park.
Cabin is located about 200` from owner`s home but the outdoor areas are oriented away from the home and toward the mountains. Little to no traffic as we are a couple with no kids.
Dexter Peak Road is a great road for walking!
Cozy, comfy cabin with circle-sawn wood floors, art created by the owner, Amish-made table and chairs with hickory and walnut, gas bbq, washer/dryer, 32` flat screen TV with abundance of movies, books, games, guide books, cotton sheets, fluffy towels, and tasteful extras not normally seen!
Owner manages and strives to please the most discriminating guests!
The loft contains a comfy king bed with room for small children to sleep on sleeping pads too. One can watch TV from bed if desired. (Please don`t eat crumbly things in bed!) Note the ceiling height is about 4-5`, not tall enough to stand up. Please look at pictures. If this is a concern, we have two more cabins with bedrooms on the first floor, as well as a fully-self-contained RV. Downstairs is a nice quality full-size futon couch for sleeping (it is firm), best for one adult, or two cuddling adults, or two small children. Linens, pillows, blankets are available in the chest and laundry cupboard.
The bathroom has a pedestal sink, corner shower with fiberglass walls and a full-size commercial washer/dryer. Large refrigerator, double sink, four burner stove (24`) makes cooking meals convenient. Cupboards are stocked with dishes, pots, pans, blenders, coffee pot, crock pot, wine glasses, all paper products and a nice selections of vinegars, oils, staples, seasonings. There generally is a fair selection of salad dressings, ketchup, mustard in the refrigerator. Since covid, some staples may not be provided.
Delight in the solace offered by the quiet, changing views of the mountains, moody skies, approaching storms, deer, elk, red foxes and birds of all kinds.
Parking in front of the cabin. Car is necessary. Walking in the neighborhood is welcome, please just keep your pets on the road and not roaming in neighbors` pastures.
Wifi-good enough for remote work and video calls, Adirondack chairs on the lawn, wrought iron table and chairs, fire pit with ample amount firewood provided (a reasonable $ for more than normal) horseshoes, propane BBQ. Past guests have left a gift of bear spray (2) for you to use if you like.
Minimal. Greetings and assistance with visiting the area. There are books in the cabin to assist with viewing Yellowstone and the area, and one is fun for kids to use while going through the park. There also is information in the cabin about restaurants, hikes, and tips about things to do.
Thirty-five to forty-five minutes to Yellowstone Park, ten minutes to Chico Hot Springs, and 15 minutes to Yellowstone River and creeks, fishing, hikes to waterfalls, and wildlife in the yard. There are about 5 restaurants/bars/bakery within 15 minutes of the cabin, and all are good. Cabin shares 25 acres with our home a couple hundred feet away, somewhat sheltered by trees and shrubs. We are quiet folks so you won`t be disturbed. The area is open ranch land with scattered junipers, cottonwoods, willows. One can easily see sunsets, sunrises over the mountains, approaching storms, rainbows and wildlife, rather than being snuggled in the forest. There are no bears or scary animals around the cabin! Mainly mule deer, elk in the winter, an occasional badger, rabbits, red foxes, eagles, hawks, finches, blue birds, robins, meadowlarks, magpies, ravens, osprey, owls and more!
Car, motorcycle, and bike. Walking in the area of the cabin and in the wilderness is recommended.
Dogs are welcome with an extra $10 per day fee to a maximum of $45 for one week. Longer stays negotiable. We are located at 4800` elevation so temperatures drop at night. There is a portable AC unit that does the job for hot summer days. There is a ceiling fan too. There is often a breeze due to the location on a bench above the river with mountains on both sides.
If one books during peak season more than 9 months in advance, host has right to correct pricing from automatic settings. We strive to have our calendars accurate.

About the host
Hosted by Vicky Holland
I moved to Paradise Valley almost twenty years ago for the closeness to nature, and small town friendliness and to live a bit more simply. I met my husband, Gary, at age 39, and married a few years later. And through him, I discovered a new talent in myself with art. We purchased an old log bar/apartment and added a 1800 square foot art gallery and frame shop. Gary is a painter and framer and we are lucky to feature so many friends fine art and crafts. We feel like we are on vacation every day looking at the constantly changing light on the mountains and wildlife in our area with our two Shihtzu's, Kopi and Jessie, our deer-headed chihuahua, Gabe (an angel in disguise), and Buford, our orange cat, a gentle warrior. My mother and brother have moved here from Seattle and are enjoying the sunny skies, mountains and wildlife of the area too.
Why they chose this property
Location is ideal, quiet but close to Livingston, fishing streams and river, intimate view of mountains, close to Yellowstone Park and a few miles from Chico Hot Springs, a favorite for locals and travellers alike!
What makes this property unique
Views of wildlife, mule deer, red foxes, elk, eagles, red-tail hawks and many other birds. The changing light on the mountains, the sunsets, views of approaching storms, quiet and star lit skies are a constant reminder of the miracle of life! We are grateful. We hope that sharing this special spot with you will be a lasting gift for you.
