About this property

Grizzly Den - Above the River! Yellowstone mountain views and Air Conditioning!

The Grizzly Den is an amazing place to call home during your visit to Montana. Come play in Yellowstone and the Gardiner Basin-Paradise Valley! Rafting, horseback riding, hot springs, fishing, hiking, dining, cross county skiing, wildlife viewing, and of course Yellowstone Park is all accessible within minutes. We will help you plan a great trip! This Air Conditioned 2 bedroom home has two additional separate loft areas for adding sleeping. We are located above the banks of the Yellowstone River and less than a mile from the north entrance to Yellowstone. We are in the heart of Gardiner, MT making it an easy evening stroll to local dining and shopping; or stay back and enjoy grilling on the deck over looking the river.
The house has 18 windows facing south into the park highlighting the stunning views of 11,000 ft Electric Peak. You can literally look out the windows, or off the deck and see: elk, antelope, deer, and occasionally bears and wolves roaming the hillsides of Yellowstone. Bring your binoculars!
We are located about an hour from the Bozeman Airport.

Great stay on the water and easy access to Yellowstone!

Great place to stay!! We really enjoyed Gardiner and the easier access to Lamar Valley in the early dawn hours. Everything was as described. We split our family stay for Yellowstone between Gardiner and West Yellowstone and are glad we did. Different and beneficial experiences from each area.

Yellowstone experience

We were just at this vrbo on Yellowstone River June 23-27. We really enjoyed the deck and the sunset was beautiful!! Nice bathrooms for our group and the grandkids really liked the little sleeping areas upstairs. Walking downtown Gardiner was literally one block and fun places to shop and eat. Entrance to Yellowstone is literally two minutes away. Great stay for the price.Photo is view from our deck. Thankyou!!

Home was exactly as it was listed. It is not a huge house, but it had tons of sleeping areas. My kids loved spreading out and picking fun places to sleep. It has 4 wall unit air conditioners that do a good job keeping it cool. When we arrived they were not turned on so it took most of that evening to get it to a comfortable sleeping temperature, but after that we were able to maintain a good temp. It was cool enough to open windows in the late evening/morning. We wish there was a screen on the sliding door though to enjoy the breeze some more. We enjoyed the view from the deck to the Yellowstone River and seeing the rafters going by. It is a convenient location within minutes of the North Gate entrance. It is situated pretty close to the neighbors on each side and the parking in front is an alleyway behind some businesses. The parking was a little tight, but not too bad. We were told about this in advance so it wasn't a surprise, but it is hard to get a feel of it from the pictures alone. We had a great, quiet stay. It was clean and had what we needed. The only slight inconvenience was that you can only use the laundry from 4:00-9:00pm because it is a shared facility (attached to this rental but you go outside). It wasn't a huge problem, but we were usually still in the park at that time so I had to plan a day around doing laundry. There were multiple high-capacity, commercial washers and dryers though, so I was able to get it all done quickly. Thank you for a nice stay!

Charming and Convenient Stay with Stunning Views!

We stayed at this adorable VRBO in Gardiner for the second half of our Yellowstone trip, and it was a great experience! The property has so much character, with unique loft and nook beds that make it feel cozy and fun—definitely a place kids would love. The views from the house are absolutely breathtaking, and the location couldn’t be better. It’s within walking distance to charming shops and restaurants, making it super convenient after a day exploring the park. While the beds could have been a bit more comfortable, for the price and unbeatable location, this place is a fantastic option. We really enjoyed our stay and would recommend it for anyone looking for a charming, budget-friendly home base near Yellowstone!

Great Yellowstone location

This lovely home is conveniently located right outside the gate and yet amongst the shops and restaurants within Gardiner. It was quiet and peaceful with comforts f home. Bone bedroom downstairs and a very tight circular staircase for the other sleeping areas. But my adult kids had no issues navigating them Great back porch with beautiful Mountain View’s! We would definitely choose this property again!

Family getaway

Nice place to stay. The only reason I gave 4 stars on the neighborhood is because the parking is pretty tight especially if you have multiple vehicles. It's clean and you have a nice view of the river and mountains.

Great location to North Yellowstone! Host was great at responding to us before and during our stay! Neat town! We went during off season the week before everything opens back up but loved that we timed it this way as it was not filled with tourists and avoided all crowds! Highly recommend!

Great View

Seven adults and 2 children enjoyed the location of the house. The flowing stream right outside was delightful, and Gardiner was a fun community. The house is a little quirky, with 2 "bedrooms" being mattresses on he floor. Only one bedroom was downstairs and the wooden spiral staircase was narrow, which would be challenging for anyone with mobility issues.

Wonderful home with beautiful views of Yellowstone and Gardiner!

Check in was very easy, the hostess gave us great information about the house. The home was roomy enough for the 7 of us. Parking was a little tight. We enjoyed the deck overlooking the Yellowstone River and Gardiner. Beautiful views! The location was within walking distance to shops and restaurants. There were some issues that had to be dealt with while we were there. WiFi had also failed halfway through our visit. All in all, a very nice place.

Amazing stay

We had a great trip. Location was conveniently located near the north entrance to the park. Check in and check out process was very easy. The owner replies very promptly if you have any questions. The house was very cute and perfect for a family. The only small challenge was parking. Parking was very tight and we had a large SUV. Would absolutely stay again.

Family Trip

Great cabin and location to restraints, shopping, and excursions. It is so close to Yellowstone Park’s north Entrance! The teens enjoyed a private room upstairs and a loft area to hang out in. Parking was a bit tight and living area is small and not much room to sit—but worked ok for us. Overall very accommodating and perfect for our family of 5! Could have taken another family with us.

Clean, Cozy, Comfortable, Convenient.

Grizzly Den was everything we wanted and needed. Close to the north gate of Yellowstone. Every modern convenience you’d need. More than ample for our family of four adults to sleep comfortably. They even had a Christmas Tree set up for us(we arrived on Christmas Day do that was a nice feeling). Excellent communication too. If we come to Gardiner again, we hope to stay here.

About the host

Hosted by Liza Brumbach

Host profile image
Our family lived and worked in Gardiner for almost ten years. The Gardiner Basin is a magical place to explore and the community of Gardiner a treasure. We live in Bozeman now where my husband is a nurse at the hospital. We are an adventurous family who loves hiking, biking, climbing, skiing, and river life. We all love our Grizzly Den home and are so happy to share it with you! The kids love all of the nooks and mini lofts in the house and it is always dreamy overlooking the river and Electric Peak. It feels like a treehouse. Thank you for being our guest and supporting our family.

Why they chose this property

This home is built with such love and provides a great space for walking around town while also a relaxing deck and the feel of a quiet getaway while being right in town!

What makes this property unique

Watch for river otters in the spring, rafts in the summer, and elk in the fall and winter!
