Yellowstone

This was a great place to stay, minutes from the Yellowstone gate. Spacious inside with full kitchen and bbq grill outside. Much better than staying in a small cabin or hotel, like having a home to come back to every night.

Wonderful place in Gardiner

We had a great time staying at 3 Lazy H. It was a great launch point for our daily trips into Yellowstone. The home was clean and very well stocked. The owner had even made us a dessert for when we arrived. She answered my questions ahead of the trip very promptly, and quickly resolved one minor issue during our stay. I strongly recommend staying here.

Cute Yellowstone Entrance town

Everything is perfect; from the location, to the tiny shoppes in town, the friendliness of the hosts, decor of the home, quick hot water, quick response to our questions/concerns, wildlife in the yard, how the window wells allow so much light into the house (and the way they are decorated) and of course, Yellowstone! I only wish the home wasn't half the country away. I will highly recommend 3 Lazy H to everyone I know traveling to the USA's first National Park.

Amazing

We stayed at 3 Lazy H Yellowstone Lodging for 5 nights and the accommodations and the town of Gardiner did not disappoint! The property was perfect for our family of 5. Very spacious and clean and had everything we needed for our day trips into Yellowstone including coolers and bear spray. JoLynn was very helpful and responded quickly to any and all of our questions. We enjoyed the town of Gardiner it had everything we needed from restaurants to gift shops to rafting on the Yellowstone River but was also quiet and peaceful. Highly recommend.

Yellowstone Vacation

This was a perfect location and accommodations for our family. The house was very well kept and comfortable with a lot of "extra" amenities - even great spices for cooking. The only "surprise" was that it was the lower level of the owner's home. This was not an issue, but it would have been nice to know ahead of time. The property photos led me to believe we were renting the "house". I highly recommend this property.

Perfect for a Yellowstone NP trip

Where do I start? Excellent hosts… truly excellent. The property was extremely convenient for entering the North Gate to Yellowstone. We had no concerns at all with the property, it’s a beautiful place to stay. There aren’t a lot of restaurants in this area, which was not a big deal because the Gardiner market is right around the corner, and is a good little place to buy food. We mostly just cooked our own meals. As a town, Gardiner is one of the friendliest towns I’ever stayed in. It’s small, but that was exactly what we wanted. Everything is within walking distance, and I’d almost guarantee you’ll see wildlife in town. We were regularly greeted by elk in the yard. This was one of the coolest stays we’ve experienced, made even better by attentive, friendly hosts. Can’t complain a bit, and when we make it back this way, we will stay here again.

Perfect Base for Yellowstone Day Trips

My husband, sister and brother-in-law spent a great week at the 3 Lazy H. The property was spotless, well stocked and has a large, open floorplan for the kitchen and living room. All of the bedrooms are spacious and the master bath is huge. Our host JoLynn was super responsive and made us a batch of brownies as our welcome gift. The house is convenient to all that Gardiner has to offer, including a local Elk and Deer family. Highly recommend this property!

Awesome Home and location

JoLynn is a great host!! You are only a couple of minutes to Roosevelt Arch. About 5 miles to Mammoth Hot Springs, the park headquarters are there. The home was especially clean, all the dishes and utensils you need. Wildlife (elk and deer) are in the yard often. 2 blocks to the grocery and post office. We would stay there again!

Very convenient location and clean

The property is VERY clean and conveniently located just about 5 minutes from the entrance to Yellowstone park. It is a great base if you plan a family trip to Yellowstone park. Kitchen had everything we needed. Communication with the owners was easy, as they live on the second floor of the same house. You get your separate entrance and a big parking spot right next to it. The only thing we did not find was a recycling bin. Overall, very good experience and we would stay at this property again.

My 6’6” husband never felt cramped. Nice quiet location! And… kids loved that they got to see the Elk peering into our windows in the morning! Would absolutely rerun to stay here again! Thank you!

The rental was perfect for our trip with 5th and 7th grade grandchildren. The rental is walking distance to everything in Gardiner and the grocery store is especially convenient. The entire unit is very comfortable and the kitchen is especially nice. The boys actually requested to eat at the rental instead of eating out.

Perfect home base for Yellowstone visit

JoLynn's house was a clean, roomy, comfortable, and perfectly located home-away-from-home for our family's visit to the Yellowstone area. It included all the basic amenities you would need. The hosts' hospitality made our stay extra special - from the brownies that welcomed us upon check-in and the elk meat they offered us to try, to the fishing rods that they let us borrow. JoLynn even helped us find a local gym option before our trip. I would highly recommend this rental for anyone staying in the Gardiner area.
