Dexter Peak cabin, elegantly rustic near YNP/Chico | Cabin in Livingston

1 Bedroom Cabin in Livingston
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.
HOUSE RULES
Modem/internet: Please do not reset or reboot. We have a system that connects from the large garage via a radio mounted on the outside of the cabin. Let Melissa at 406-589-8162 or Steve, 406-223-3230, will reboot at the garage. This will usually fix it. If not, FYI, we need to reboot the rounter and the radio independently from each other in the cabin. Please refrain from unplugging cords and trying to fix yourself. Confirm that cords are plugged in.
Unwanted guests: We are in a rural area and sometimes a mouse may sneak in. The cabin is very tight, yet they like to sneak in if the door is open. For good measure, we have put a couple mousetraps in the cabin. That being said, if you happen to see a mouse, let us know. There will be no refunds if you happen to see a mouse. That being said, you should know that we have excellent cleaners and our cabins turn over often, so we know what the cleanliness level. On the off chance, a mouse does visit, we will grant no refunds.
Smoke outside only and use an ashtray.
Campfires only when there is little to no wind. Please put fire out with water. Do not put the cover back on the pit until the fire is out. That goes for the bbq, too.
Wash dishes well with a focus on glassware. About 98% of our guests do a good to great job so we hope you will 'pay it forward' to our house cleaner, Shannon, by doing the same!
We have a small extra fee for dogs so let me know if you have any. Please clean up after your dog in the immediate area around the cabin. When walking in the neighborhood, please keep dogs from going on other people’s property.
Take garbage over to garbage can by small barn so cabin doesn’t have an undesirable odor. The square can on the porch is for recylables, plastic, cans, cardboard and paper, no glass. When departing for the day or at end of stay, leave temperature at 65-70 degrees in the winter and turn off AC in the summer.
No fireworks, guns or ATV/motorcycles.
Loud parties should get tamed down after 11. If you still want to party, go to Chico Hot Springs Saloon!
Start a load of laundry! It is a great way to ‘pay it forward’ to your housecleaner. Also, the entry fee receipt to Yellowstone can be used for seven days, so you can also 'pay it forward' to the next guest if you like!
Our family wishes you a very special vacation getaway and an abundance of fun and memorable adventures!
