My dream was to come to Montana many years ago! When my wife and I were planning our trip, your establishment got very high accolades, and so we booked it immediately not knowing what to expect. We were in for such a treat! Carol & Pete were instrumental in making our trip extra special! We were greeted to a beautiful, tiny house that was decorated with a certain charm that made us feel like home instantly! The cinnamon rolls, cookies, berry scones were made with love! Carol is a baker extraordinaire! The refrigerator was stocked and instructions were quite easy to follow as far as operating anything. We didn t have to worry or request a change out of linens as they were replenished automatically. Carol and Pete were both so very friendly and joined us in the evenings for fire pit and conversation with laughs and memorable stories to tell! They certainly made us feel like family! They were both helpful in dining options throughout town and on the outskirts. Pete was instrumental in guiding us to certain hiking trails, all the excursions included in Yellowstone national park and some other hidden treasures! He mapped everything out for us, which added some clarity and interest on a trip that we did not anticipate! Overall, we couldn t be happier with our experience! We will never forget the picturesque views on the Yellowstone river and the serene feeling that it gave us will stay in our hearts forever! Montana will be etched in our minds always!

We stayed at the Paradise Gateway Tiny Home and loved it! The cottage itself was beautiful, fabulously equipped, and comfortable. It was within 10 ft. of the Yellowstone River and had two active osprey nests on the property. One of the best parts of the stay was the incredible hospitality of the owners, Carol and Pete. Carol was the ultimate host making sure all of our needs were met and Pete was very knowledgeable about the area and showed us all the local spots for wildlife viewing, especially bears! Thank you Carol and Pete for a wonderful stay!Jim and JanPS The cabin is "tiny"...not much room for a lot of luggage or gear. We just left most of ours in the car.

I ve now stayed at the tiny house twice. Both times were amazing! Carol was so kind and the setting can t be beat! It s the perfect combination of feeling in touch with nature and having pleasant conveniences that make for a wonderful vacation. Anytime I visit Yellowstone I m going to be staying at Paradise Gateway B&B.

Pete and Carol are THE most gracious and accommodating hosts! The cabin offered all the amenities of home, allowing us to prepare our own meals and get a peaceful night's rest while listening to the Yellowstone River flowing by - a terrific "home away from home". They offer very helpful advice (and wonderful maps) on how to derive the most from your time in the park. Birders and wildlife watchers will love watching an osprey and occasional belted kingfisher at work or common merganser cruising along the river, or elk, bison, deer, and perhaps a bald eagle en route to/from Yellowstone. Peace, serenity, superb hospitality are in abundance!

I believe the view from the Yellowstone Meadow Cabin is where to definition of stunning was derived from!!!!! The cabin itself is beautiful, very clean and had everything we needed to call it home during our stay. Carol and Pete are absolutely wonderful. Helpful couldn't even begin to describe them. Carol was so nice, she didn't mind all my calls prior to our visit and she gave suggestions for things to do, she left homemade Bread { SO SO delicious} and jelly, along with farm fresh eggs in our refrigerator. And offered us some of her homemade huckleberry coffee cake before we left, also SO,SO delicious. We were welcomed at the camp fire by the river and met all the other guests. It was fun. And Pete, well after 30 minutes with him, we felt as though we were with a long time friend that we hadn't seen in years. He took us all over Yellowstone Park, gave us advice as to where to go when he wasn't with us and really made us feel as though he was getting as much excitement from showing us all the sights as we were getting from seeing them!!!! I had waited 20 years to see this park and I can't think of anyway we could have had a better experience. We definitely plan to visit our "friends" again and I highly recommend that you give them a call and do the same

If you were already searching Paradise Valley for a place to stay, you must already know how beautiful that area is and how near it is to Yellowstone. No need to elaborate on that.What we liked most about Paradise Gateway B&B: Carol and Pete are great hosts. They are warm, helpful, easy going and seem to have an innate sense about when their guests want interaction and when they want privacy.The rooms were very comfortable, lots of amenities in the common room, and the property is well maintained.Pete seems to genuinely enjoy acting as a guide. He offered some very useful tips on things to see in the area, including some insider tips on how to visit Yellowstone like a local.

Paradise Gateway B&B was our base for a trip to Yellowstone and we instantly felt at home. The experience was so enjoyable the it could have been a destination in and of itself. Our room was beautiful and comfortable with many amenities and a million dollar view as well as access to Yellowstone River. A large gorgeous common room equipped with coffee maker, refrigerator, interesting collectibles, books and homemade treats that magically appeared added immensely to our stay. Carol spoiled us with the best breakfasts we ve ever had, served on a table setting that would make Martha Stewart proud. Pete had maps and tips and tricks that greatly enhanced our days in the park. Both helped with recommendations to wonderful restaurants and local attractions. We felt instantly at home with such personable hosts and plan to visit again next year on a return trip to Yellowstone. Thank you Carol and Pete for taking such good care of us!

My wife and I had the privilege of staying at Paradise Getaway B&B. Pete and Carol were so accommodating to us. They showed us the best barbecue place I ve ever had in Emigrant then off to a special place to watch bear and elk for the evening. The breakfast was out of this world! Carol is an amazing wiz in the kitchen! The meal is hard to describe how great it was until you ve had. They then provided us valuable information of where to visit in Yellowstone National Park! The B&B is absolutely beautiful set along the Yellowstone River! What a wonderful stay!

Paradise valley for us was the perfect launching pad for Yellowstone Park - being just 25 miles away. We found Gardiner a little too touristy and we re lucky to find Paradise Gateway - owned by Pete and Carol. We stayed in the 2 bed cabin they have and the property was beautiful on the banks of the Yellowstone river with mountains in the background! Pete and Carol are amazing hosts, and Pete would help map out each day s itinerary in YNP for us - that saved us a lot of time and made sure we did not miss anything special.We were 5 mins away from dining options at Emigrant, but for better options, we drove 20 mins to Livingston which truly exceeded our expectations for a city of ~7k in terms of the quality of restaurants.We would highly recommend Paradise Gateway to anyone looking for the perfect lodging in the best placed outside the park! You will not be disappointed and will love and appreciate the help and tips from Pete and Carol! We hope to come back soon.

The Paridise Gateway Bed and Breakfast was such an incredible experience! Carol is an amazing cook and made delicious, filling breakfasts for us during our stay. Pete knows Yellowstone very well, so he helped us decide what sites to see during our trip! The room was very clean, comfortable, and cozy. Being only a 10 minute drive from Chico, we spent a day there as well! We will definitely be back again to stay at Paradise Gateway... it truly was a paradise weekend for us!

Paradise Gateway B&B is one of the prettiest and the coziest places I have stayed in. It is also very convenient to travel from Bozeman international airport and then leave for Yellowstone National Park saving a lot of commute time. I chose the Blueberry Patch room and the view from the room is absolutely beautiful!! Carol and Pete are so warm and helpful. Pete helped us plan our entire Yellowstone tour with details about each place and by drawing out directions in a paper map which one absolutely needs if they are traveling to Yellowstone National Park for the first time as there is no internet connection to navigate once inside the park. He gave us little tips to hunt the grizzly bears and other wild animals in Yellowstone. Carol took care of my special dietary needs and cooked us very delicious and fulfilling breakfast with so much love!I loved my one night stay at Paradise Gateway which truly is a Paradise and will definitely come back for my next Yellowstone trip.Thank you so much, Carol and Pete!!

Outstanding ! Excellent ! I stumbled on this place between hotel. Com and VRBO during my booking research for our long vacation. I was not sure how it would be so I did not tell my wife about it till the last minute. But once we arrived we were totally impressed with friendliness of Caroll and Pete and the cabin is amazing. European fixtures / appliances / windows etc. Surroundings are awesome ! Pete s advise on how to go about sight seeing Yellowstone was on the money with best parking spots / best time to visit certain spots for less crowded parking / areas where we will see bisons etc etc. Both Caroll and Pete made this trip truly memorable for us. Good luck to both of them. I HIGHLY recommend this place for a terrific vacation !

We stayed in the Wildflower Queen room for a couple nights and we absolutely loved it! The view was amazing! Carol and Pete were the sweetest and most helpful, communicative hosts. Our first b&b experience was great and we would definitely recommend.

We just returned from our stay at Paradise. The property was beautiful, our room was cozy and the bed very comfortable. The food was out of this world and the staff both friendly and helpful. They helped us get the most out of our one day at Yellowstone, gave great tips for places to eat and even took us out to see grizzly bears (from afar)! Thanks to Holly and Isabel for all their help and fun conversations! This is a great place to stay and so beautiful set on the rive. Don't miss it!

My brother and I stayed at the Paradise Gateway tiny home for 3 nights in Mid-July. The tiny home had everything and more to accommodate our needs during our stay. The full kitchen was great for cooking. Farm fresh eggs, bread, homemade jam and coffee beans were left for us to cook for breakfast in the morning. The tiny home sits feet from the Yellowstone River, with views of Emigrant Peak. There is a large fire pit adjacent to the tiny home, which we enjoyed using for a fire each night. Pete and Carol were great hosts, lending advice to the area for food and activities. The town of Emigrant is 5 minutes down the road, and there is a general store, saloon, and a great BBQ place. We used Anglers West for a guided fly fishing trip per Carol's recommendation and had an amazing time. I would absolutely recommend the tiny home for anyone to enjoy Montana in a comfortable space. My brother and I have already began planning our trip back next year.

5 Star experience at Paradise Gateway. We chose this B&B as part of our trip to Yellowstone and stayed there for 2 nights. Its 30+ miles north of the Gardner entrance. Carol and Pete are fantastic hosts, and have created a place where you can rest and recharge before you exhaust yourself at YNP. The cabin itself is very well furnished and the kids loved it. The location by the river makes it even more better. What finally makes it an awesome experience is the care that Carol and Pete put in to make their guests comfortable. Pete charted out a route for us that allowed us to see quite a few of the attractions, loaned his binoculars, and in the evening, suggested a place to spot grizzlies close by. The family rates our stay at Paradise as one of the highlights of this roadtrip

Pete and Carol provide the best lodging and B&B around. Everything is provided, breakfast is full on homemade and delicious. The location is perfect to just stay in one place and use their place as a base between Yellowstone and Livingston. And I can t say enough about the majestic views and setting right on the Yellowstone river surrounded by the mountains. They got it right when they said this was the Paradise valley and B&B.

This is the second time I have stayed at this B&B. The rooms are large, the beds comfortable with the best sheets I have ever felt. Breakfast is a true feast. Carol has been cooking for years and never gets tired of presenting the guests with a table of delicious foods. You have an area downstairs, by your room to hang out in, with TV, coffee, table, etc. Or, you can hang in your room, which also has a TV and a view to the river.The B&B is located on the Yellowstone River. I love watching the water constantly flowing by. There is an osprey nest on the property with a family hatching and then raising babies. Lots of other birds are on the property also, including blue birds.Pete knows all about the area and Yellowstone Park, so make sure to ask him about the best places to go.Chico Hot Springs is a 5 minute drive across the river. I have made it a point to take at least one night to get over there for a soak.

We have now stayed a couple of times in two different cabins. Both cabins are awesome and yards away from to the Yellowstone river , so you can fish do whatever you like. The cabins have everything you might need, and Carol and Pete are wonderful people who are more than happy to give you directions and help for anything you might want to do. We are from Texas and it's quite a trip to get to this area, but I couldn't imagine staying anywhere else.

Carol and Pete were very knowledgeable and friendly. Carol came and greeted us as soon as we arrived and answered any questions we had. Pete is a former guide at Yellowstone and although we didn t need tips, gave another family a whole itinerary for their trip. All in all an extremely great set up. The tiny house was everything we wanted and no hassle at all!

Carol is fantastic and made me and my 12 year old nephew feel like family upon arrival. The second she left the tiny home after showing us around he said she is one of the nicest people ever! And I would have to agree. Pete is a wealth of knowledge and takes time in the morning to plan out your Yellowstone visit with maps and Insider info. We were under the weather the last day and he tailored his advice for what to see based on how we felt. The tiny home is amazing. It has high end finishes and personal touches I don t often find in rental properties. I could not recommend carol and Pete s more.

We stayed in the Wildflower Room facing the Yellowstone River. It was quite cozy and lovely. The Parlor next to us provided lots of reading treasures and more views. Our Breakfast was outstanding fresh gourmet food and the conversation around the table added to a most enjoyable stay. We will stay there again!

We were literally a night away from Yellowstone when we decided to book a room (nothing like last minute )! We thought everything would be sold out after calling the first place and there were no vacancies. When we called Carol (our second call) she had a room and sounded so excited to be filling it, she was lovely! We showed up the next day not knowing what to expect as we didn t see pictures. We drove up to her lovely cabin and went to the office to be told we were going to be staying in the TINY HOUSE! I was so excited haha it was adorable and better yet, right on the river . It s in its own little area so, your not right next to anyone. It s about a 20 min drive to Yellowstone but it s SO worth it to be able to wake up on their beautiful open space right by the river (beats waking up to all the people and noice when you re right in Yellowstone)!! She had breakfast in the tiny house for us but also invited us to breakfast with her on our last day there (she is an amazing cook ). Reed was nothing but helpful our entire time there as well. The first morning, he met us at the office before we headed to Yellowstone to walk us through the park and showed us the must see spots (and he was right!)! Reed also sent us to a place outside of the park where we were sure to see bear and we did, which was great since we didn t see any in the park! It was truly a blessing not only staying in this lovey tiny house but also meeting such amazing and welcoming people. I would recommend Paradise Gateway to anyone heading that way

The owners Carol an Pete are great people. The rooms were clean, I loved the smell of the quilt . We had our own bathroom. My husband liked the big towels and the view of the gorgeous snow capped mountains while eating an awesome breakfast that Mrs. Carol fixed started my day just right.. We were only there for one night. And we will be back again...

My family and I enjoyed our weekend getaway at the Paradise Geteway B&B. We stayed in the Meadow Cabin. It was the perfect set up for having two younger kids (2 year old and 10 month old). The screened in porch became our hangout spot for playing and watching the sunset. Carol, Pete, and Robin were amazing hosts and made us feel welcome the entire time. I would HIGHLY recommend staying at the Paradise Gateway B&B.

Carol and Pete were amazing!For us it was day 10 of a 12 day motorcycle ride down the OR Coast, through the Redwoods in N Cali, Lake Tahoe/Reno, across the Pony Express Hwy 50 in NV up to Jackson Hole WY, The Tetons, Yellowstone quite the trip (-;Pulling in to Paradise B&B was like stopping at your favorite Aunt and Uncles house for a long over due visit. The Room was great but the Breakfast was OMG!Peach Souffle", Huckleberry Bunt Cake, a Sausage Broccoli Egg and Cheese Dish and Great Coffee. The best meal of our whole trip.If we make it back to Yellowstone we know where we are staying.Loved it so much we asked Carol to sell us a coffee cup with there logo on it (-:Kevin and Jo
