About this property

Located in the heart of the Jardine, Montana the Jardine Retreat Cottage was built in 2019. Escape from the crowds of Yellowstone and get away from the stresses of every day life. This two bedroom cottage has a kitchen, a cozy fireplace to relax by, and the sounds of Bear Creek just outside. Enjoy hiking and ski trails right out the front door. Jardine is a quiet, serene community surrounded on three sides by Wilderness, and is just 5 miles away from Yellowstone National Park.

The Jardine Retreat Cottage is a newly constructed getaway with rustic mountain charm. It has two bedrooms with queen beds, one full bathroom, a kitchen with cooking utensils, dining room, and a living room with comfy couches around a gas fireplace with a TV above in a secret cabinet. The house comfortably accommodates four people, and is perfect for two couples traveling together.

Tucked right up against the Absaroka Beartooth Wilderness Jardine abounds with hiking, fishing, horseback riding (through local outfitters) in the Summer, cross-country and backcountry skiing and snowshoeing in the Winter, and endless year-round wildlife watching and outdoor exploring. There are no services in Jardine (ie: fuel, grocery stores, restaurants, etc) so remember to top up your fuel tank, go out to eat, and grab some groceries and those last couple of essentials at the Gardiner Market before heading up the road to Jardine.

Only Verizon phones work in Jardine. As of 2023, we now have WiFi! There is no TV/cable/satellite service, but for rainy days we do have a TV screen with online streaming capabilities and a DVD/Blu-ray player with a handful of movies available to watch, as well as games, books and puzzles to enjoy by our cozy fireplace.

Summer 2023 Update. Park County is short staffed and is not able to maintain the Jardine Road to the normal condition we have become accustomed to. We have had more rain than usual, so there are extra potholes on the road. A 2WD can still make the drive, but expect it to be a little bumpier and take a little longer than usual. We're still only about a 15-20 minute drive away from Gardiner, and the views are amazing, as always. Please contact your host, Zondra, directly for the most up to date road report. I sincerely apologize for the inconvenience.

Cute and Comfortable

The cabin was attractive, comfortable, and had all the necessities plus lots of extras. Don’t buy coffee, filters, spices, condiments, and lots of other supplies before you get there. So many items are already there. We really enjoyed spending the day in the park and hanging out playing Yellowstone Monopoly that was in the cabin in the evenings. We would definitely stay there again.

Cozy and comfortable

This cozy cabin worked very well for us with easy access to the Park but out of the way of the bustle of Gardiner in summer. The heated bathroom floor was great. With the long days in June we spent little time there, but it was a nice place to come back to. Definitely recommend it as a good accommodation if visiting the Park.

What makes this property unique

Jardine is a great remote getaway away from the crowds of Yellowstone, yet close enough to the park to easily visit it daily. In the winter there is great cross country skiing right out the front door, and in the summer, great hiking and horse back riding right out the front door. There is world class whitewater rafting just 5 miles away in Gardiner.
