7 Bedroom House in Livingston
🏡 Thistle Hill – A Mountain Homestead Retreat
Welcome to Thistle Hill, a private 7-bedroom mountain retreat nestled in the quiet beauty of Montana.
This is more than a place to stay — it’s a place to slow down, breathe deeply, and experience a different rhythm of life.
Wake up to wide open views, sip your coffee while watching animals graze, and end your evenings under big skies and quiet stars. Whether you’re gathering with family, reconnecting with friends, or simply needing space to reset, Thistle Hill offers a peaceful, memorable escape.
🐄 The Homestead Experience
One of the most unique parts of staying at Thistle Hill is the animals.
Our small homestead includes:
• Mini Jersey cows
• Guernsey goats
• Kune kune pigs
• Chickens (and fresh eggs when available)
• Free-ranging peacocks
You’ll see them, hear them, and likely fall in love with them.
This is a working homestead environment, not a staged experience — which means every day is a little different, a little imperfect, and very real.
🏡 The Space
• 7 spacious bedrooms
• Large gathering areas for family & friends
• Fully equipped kitchen
• Cozy, comfortable interiors with a relaxed mountain feel
• Expansive outdoor space to explore and unwind
Designed for connection, rest, and a slower pace.
✨ What It Feels Like to Stay Here
• Quiet mornings with coffee and mountain air
• Animals grazing nearby
• Kids exploring, unplugged
• Evenings that feel calm, simple, and unhurried
It’s not just a stay — it’s a reset.
⚠️ A Few Things to Know (Please Read Before Booking)
Because we are a real homestead, there are a few important things to be aware of:
🐦 Free-Ranging Peacocks
Our peacocks roam freely around the property. They are beautiful, curious, and occasionally loud — especially during certain times of day. You may see them near the house, on fences, or wandering the grounds.
🐓 Animal Noises
This is not a silent retreat.
You will hear:
• Roosters crowing (yes, sometimes early)
• Goats and cows vocalizing
• Pigs grunting
• General farm life sounds
Most guests find this part of the charm — but if you’re looking for total silence, this may not be the best fit.
🌿 Nature & Farm Environment
You may encounter:
• Mud, hay, or dust depending on the season
• Flies or typical outdoor insects
• Weather that can change quickly
This is part of the authentic experience of being on a mountain homestead.
💛 Is This the Right Stay for You?
Thistle Hill is perfect for guests who:
• Appreciate nature, animals, and open space
• Want a peaceful, slower-paced environment
• Are comfortable with a real, working homestead setting
If you’re looking for something polished and perfectly predictable, this may not be your place.
But if you’re craving something real, peaceful, and a little bit magical —
we think you’ll love it here.
