About this property

Yellowstone..... Outside your front door!

Yellowstone Red Barn Retreat is located on the hillside overlooking the Yellowstone River and minutes from Yellowstone National Park.
WINTER is magical in the Park
and snowcoach's depart daily from Gardiner. First stop is Mammoth Hot Springs with Fort Yellowstone's historic buildings and the iconic Mammoth Terraces and Hot Springs.
Next stop, Old Faithful.... shooting hundreds of feet into blue Big Sky.
Historic Old Faithful Inn and it's fireplace are a work of art - literally! Sit and enjoy hot cocoa, an Old Fashion before enjoying the 5 Star Dining experience.
SPRING blossoms and Yellowstone awakens! Bison, elk, deer, eagles and more give birth giving visitors memories of a lifetime. In the pasture in front of the Retreat you may see elk and their nursing calves or hear wolves teaching their pups to howl.
SUMMER at last! Sightseeing, fishing, rafting, horseback riding...so much to do. Hundreds of hiking trails wander through fields of wildflowers, streams, lakes and waterfalls..... even a petrified forest.
Autumn's splendor unfolds. Elk are bugeling and their annual rut is a memory to cherish. Bears are active preparing for winter. Come and enjoy Yellowstone's AUTUMN colors and our lowest rates.
Yellowstone Red Barn Retreat is a comfy and beautiful place to relax after a day in the Park. The Great Room, dining area and wet bar overlook the landscaped yard and Cinnabar Mountain. Outside you can sit enjoy elk herds across the Yellowstone River and Yankee Jim Canyon. The peace and quiet assure you a wonderful night rest, ready for another day of Yellowstone adventures!

The view was lovely and the house was well put together. The fireplace does not work if you are hoping for one and there was no ice maker. The house is on a steep incline but very close to the town and Yellowstone. Very dusty, and not suitable for cooking during the warm summers. Even with windows open the house gets very warm, upwards of 80 inside when cooking. Cannot keep doors open be aide of lack of screens and animals and pests can get into the house. Not really enough space to feed all the people it can sleep and you have to put a towel down when showering because the water leeks out of the shower and out of the bathroom door.

Response from VrboOwner on 3 August 2026
Sorry to hear your experience was unsatisfactory! I would like to address some of your concerns for future guest- all of the windows in our home have screens except the three small windows under the large bay windows at the front of the building, as is intended. Our kitchen features a brand new full size range and brand new full size fridge, but the fridge does not include an ice maker as stated on our website. We have a dining room table that seats 6, which has expansion leaves to facilitate 4 more people, with chairs. As you and I discussed, the gas stove is turned off because we do not have a responsive fire department here and after a close call, our insurer recommended that we disable it. Which makes sense with the daytime temps being close to 100 degrees lately. The steep incline you mentioned is a standard dirt driveway, around 300 feet, that anyone can easily traverse in any vehicle. The shower, which is tiled along with the floor, has a fully functional curtain and I’ve never had a guest mention this issue before. It’s odd that you have included pictures, but not specifically of these concerns, so I wanted to clear the air for our future guests. Thank you for leaving the review and staying with us. -Brady Graff, owner

Peaceful homebase for Yellowstone

This house was a wonderful place to use as a home base for our adventures in Yellowstone. We enjoyed the peace and tranquility instead of staying in a busy town. We could truly relax and enjoy each other's company. Would definitely stay again!

Wonderful visit, excellent location

As a family of 2 adults and 4 kids we had a great visit at this property. There was plenty of space for everyone and the location of being near the North entrance of Yellowstone but still having the privacy of open country was perfect.

The red barn had everything we needed for a great stay! One of our best experiences was hiking to the OTO ranch, less than a half mile from the barn….a much bigger elk herd than what we saw in Yellowstone, and the ranch itself was very interesting.
