About this property
NEW River Island Retreat, unique industrial style modern on the Yellowstone
"Well, I've never stayed in a home like this before!" Once in a lifetime experiences can be found at the River Island Retreat. Majestic sunsets backdrop the meandering Yellowstone River, moose, and eagles circle over the house looking for fish and ground squirrel. Siebeck Island, the dead end road where you will find your unique dwelling which sits along the beautiful Yellowstone River, surrounded by trees and wildlife; yet is still walking distance to Livingston parks and downtown. Old industrial structures, an abandoned train car and more can be found on this piece of history. The home itself, a former garage for the Plant is fully remodeled and updated (top to bottom). This private sanctuary offers a unique view of the river and a secret corner of Livingston, rarely seen or experienced. Bring the camera - you will love this funky, modern and creative space that sleeps up to 11 and is sure to be the vacation rental and gathering space of memories!

The house was a great size for our large family. The location was quiet and we enjoyed wildlife spotting and access to the river. The rental management was very helpful and responsive. We would stay here again.
My friends & I truly enjoyed our stay at the River Island Retreat. The house was very clean and the beds were very comfortable. Plenty of space to entertain and the kitchen was perfect for cooking meals. The mountain views were gorgeous and loved seeing the bald eagles flying above us while we fished the Yellowstone river. The river was a minute walk from the house which was an added bonus. Our host Brooke & concierge Deena had great communication & were a pleasure to work with. From booking the property to adding a pet at the last minute the whole process was so smooth. I would highly recommend the River Island Retreat and look forward to staying in Livingston again soon.

River Island Retreat was perfect for our family and pup! We have extended family in Livingston and were able to host everyone for our holiday meal. The kitchen is easy to work in with high quality appliances and nice cookware/tableware. The house is extremely comfortable and beautifully designed, with gorgeous views of the river and mountains. We enjoyed the privacy and the outdoor space (especially with the dog), while being just a few minutes from downtown Livingston. Communication with property management was great as well. Highly recommend this unique Montana property!

Reviewer Comments:
This is a great spot for four fisherman. It is clean and very nicely appointed.. The beds are comfortable, the showers are great. The kitchen is equipped just right.... the entrance road to the property is unimpressive, but that is not a big thing... The exterior of the property does not tell the story of what is inside... It is a great place to stay. We shall return. Also, being in Livingston is very convenient to all the restaurants and flash shops.
