Location: This is a really great cabin off the US89 between Livingston and Gardiner. We used it as…read morea base for our Yellowstone Park explorations. It is in Emigrant a small town that boasts a great bakery and great BBQ in the warm season. To get to and from the Cabin you drive through the Chico Hot Springs Resort. In addition to hot springs Chico has a riding stable and adventure company for white water, scenic floats and hiking. This is nice if you don't want to drive to Gardiner some days. There is also a nice hike to a falls just up the road from the cabin. The cabin itself was excellent. We were there on some hot days and the cabin stayed cool if you closed the blinds as instructed. There was a full kitchen and while fussy cook husband might have wanted sharper knives for prep work he managed to make some fine meals. He also used the charcoal grill but the black flies were thick in the heat. Better him than me! Happily the long porch facing the stream is fully screened. No biting things there. The porch had a casual dining table and glider bench. The cabin had two bedrooms and one and a half baths. The half bath was in a utility room which included a washer and dryer. Priceless! There was also a comfy living room with two sofas and a glider chair. We never used the TV but it was there too. The cabin had wifi thankfully because there wasn't much cell reception. Basically it was a great place to get away, listen to the creek at night and relax.

Wonderful get away. No people, no problem. Walk to have a cocktail and a fine dinner. All the…read morepeople we did encounter were lovely. Highly recommend this best kept secret in Montana!!

We were very fortunate recently to spend 3 nights at Burnt Out Lodge. It is a truly unique place…read moreto relax. Your first view of the log cabin lodge reveals an unpretentious structure that is very roomy inside with a large common room that serves as a gathering/breakfast space, seeming to be, with the loft, a nice facility for groups. The Lodge is constructed of logs that remained after a fire consumed 12,000 acres including much of the ranch. The hosts Ruth and Blick shared their story about the building of the lodge which we found fascinating. Our rooms were very spacious with cathedral ceilings with outside entrances/porches. A pond lies just outside the Lodge and a stream just steps further(our fishing skills were too limited to take advantage of those opportunities). Cattle graze all around the site as part of its ranch setting in the coulee and we saw turkeys and deer along the road. Breakfasts were simple but good with large portions and very accommodating (we needed breakfast at 7 AM and it was on the table right on time each day). The long rock/dirt lane road made us wonder whether we were in the right place but signage assured us that we were. The road also encouraged us to stay in during the evenings which was fine for us and resulted in a very tranquil stay. This was our first exposure to Montana "ranch" life and we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves.

Preparing meals together was a valuable experience during the reunion. Six individual rooms like hotel rooms -- private bath, closet and area to unpack suitcases, towels, linen, roll-away beds, clock-radios, porch-space outside. High ceilings and quaint log construction. Large common area for dining and socializing. Internet by satellite -- adequate for Email and web, but you won't be streaming video. Cell phones out of range, but you can get cell service by driving 1.5 miles up the road to the ridgetop. Hiking and some fishing on the stream nearby. Large pond for a canoe or raft. Garden flowers and green lawn. Cattle on the surrounding ranch are entertainment. Near enough to Big Timber. The only shortcoming: this area recovering from a fire a few years ago; surrounding hillsides show dead twisted trees with new trees only beginning to grow -- namesake "Burnt Out" lodge. Would certainly go back again; would certainly recommend.

There is a gas barbecue near the cabins with seating to enjoy the outdoors and relax. There are chairs by the creek where you can sit and absorb the experience of being in the forest.

The care and pride they have in their cabins are well deserved. I think Pete is the moose whisperer. Twice I have been invited to see the moose mom and kid(s) from the deck of Carol and Pete's house. If you are having separation anxiety from your pup, Kelly is there to help you cope. When you come to Montana, this is the perfect place to stay while you enjoy Yellowstone, only a mile away.

It is located in a spot that is completely wooded yet you have incredible views of the surrounding mountains.

It thundered and rained nearly every day but for short times, so that no plans were spoiled.

We recently drove across the country and the Livingston Inn was one of our rest stops…read more The most memorable thing is probably the combination of rustic and modern. Most other hotels/motels looked basically the same so it was nice to see something different here. There were definitely some spots which could benefit from some fresh paint or something but it wasn't a big deal. The check-in process was on the other hand more modern. Not "we have an app" modern but they have keypad locks on all the room doors so check-in was handled through a text message (which included the door code). A phone call was also an option but texting was easier for me because we were on the road and didn't always have reception. Text messages also mean all the info would be available if I needed to check it later. We were only there to sleep so we didn't need any assistance, but if anything came up we would have had to call or text the manager since there was nobody on-site. Hopefully in those cases they can respond and/or show up quickly. We do sometimes have good conversations with the front desk people but a quick simple check-in is also great. The bed was comfortable and the shower worked well. The one surprise in the room was that the tv was on when we walked in. I'm not used to that but we noticed that Top Gun: Maverick was on so we ended up watching it.

Booked this place with an online booking app. Shucks it was the first time we've been disappointed…read more First the rooms have no carpet and that's just fine but my shoes stuck to the floor. So I text the manager and she said she'd come mop our floor. I said we were going to dinner so that was fine. When we got back our room then smelled strongly of vinegar. The beds were comfortable but the decor was very outdated. Except for the sticky floor it was clean.

Dust! This is just from the top of the chair rail that runs around the room.

No need to go to one of the more expensive motels in town, this one will do very nicely and save you a few bucks for more Yellowstone National Park souvenirs.

Black Canyon 31 May - 2 June 2025 with Frank, Mountain Man Guiding…read more Frank was amazing. Well prepared and seemed to have everything for every eventuality. His experience and knowledge of the trails, flora and fauna was reassuring and enhancing. Whilst we felt relatively fit 59 year olds, we were a little apprehensive over the challenges of hiking, free camping and staying safe. Frank planned the route perfectly and made sure that we did not "over do it" on any given day whilst posing a suitably satisfying challenge for us to ultimately celebrate and enjoy when in camp at sunset. The campsites were prebooked, private and located in the most perfect riverside settings. The balance of fabulous hand made (by Frank) dehydrated meals, freshly cut vegetables, snacks and perfect hot coffee ensured that we were well satiated. The day one wraps were inspired. The scenery throughout was awesome. Hellroaring and Yellowstone rivers thundered by the trail as we hiked. Spectacular and vast 360 degree views provide lasting memories whilst Frank's "stolen" photos and videos created a permanent memory of our days and as well as a terrific record of a very special and wonderful time. Absolutely we would hike again and if possible, with Frank. Thank you Andrew & Kate (Singapore / UK)
