Some info has been automatically translated.
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!

The space
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.

Guest access
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.

Other things to note
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.

Neighborhood highlights

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!

Where I went to school: Central Washington University off campus
My work: Real estate
I love to travel, but also am in love with this beautiful location so near the mountains and Yellowstone Park. Every evening my husband, Gary and I enjoy the changing light in the sky and on the mountains. I am easy-going, enjoy people, desire to do my best at whatever course that might be. It's pleasing to me to provide a place of respite during people's travels. I have travelled all over Europe, a few places in Mexico and Canada! I have a "sleeper" movie that my husband and I always share with our friends, Last of The Dogmen, which features a Montana location and mixes some Native American culture in to an interesting plot. We like country music, much of it connects with my love for classic rock of the '70's. A wonderful musician named Willie K from Hawaii is phenomenal! What a range of talent from Pavarotti to Willie Nelson and Patsy Cline! I love to cook and share good food with friends. A nice glass of wine is always a nice compliment to a good meal! I am from the Seattle area originally which was a very fun place to live! I used to snow ski and sail on Lake Washington, bike and hike a little, play racquetball. Here we hike, enjoy wildlife, snowshoe, and love art. My husband, Gary, is an artist, a painter, and I will be taking time to creative endeavors this winter. I recently retired from the State of Montana where I worked as an appraiser of real estate. Loves in my life, besides people and pets, are real estate, art, travel and a curiosity and enjoyment of other cultures!
