November get away

Took a quick trip to enjoy the warm fall. The cabin was perfect for our family and a great location. We loved having the river so close. We watched hundreds of elk walk along the river and bighorn sheep just down the road. Private bathrooms for each room worked really well to get everyone ready for the day. We would definitely stay again!

Beautiful setting. Plenty of space for our family to relax and enjoy being together.

Loved the entire experience! Beautiful accommodations. Great location with easy access to Yellowstone. The kitchen had everything our family needed to prepare meals. I would definitely recommend staying at the Yellowstone Riverbend Cabin. Thanks so much for providing this wonderful cabin for travelers to use while visiting the beautiful Yellowstone National Park.

Loved it!

Loved our stay! It was great for a family of 6. The view of the river each morning is beautiful. We enjoyed every minute. The accommodations were great. We loved having the washer and dryer too. The cabin is very clean, updated, and we felt like home there.

Great Stay in Gardiner

This was the second time we stayed in this great cabin in the past 3 months, once for a summer trip to Yellowstone and another in the late fall. Both times, it was excellent. We enjoyed the amenities, cleanliness, and just simply a great location right on the Yellowstone river. Our kids loved exploring and seeing the daily elk and deer hanging out in the yard. We plan on making this a location we come back to again and again.

Perfection!

It sure is nice when a plan comes together! You can walk out your back door and fish the Yellowstone River. Be careful you don’t hit crossing elk or pronghorn as you drive along the dirt road to town. Very comfortable and convenient place to stay as home base for Yellowstone.

So many thoughtful details!

My family and I stayed here with our friends to explore Yellowstone, fish, hike and raft. This spot was amazing! It was so close to town and steps from the Yellowstone river to fish. I was really impressed with all the details that the owners thought of when putting this cabin together -- little hooks for organizing things in just the right places, a fun movie and lots of books and magazines about Yellowstone, and it was very clean. All in all, it was a great place for us to stay as 'home base' while exploring this beautiful, beautiful part of the country.

A perfect base for Yellowstone!

I looked at several listings in this riverside cabin grouping and picked this one for its well-chosen decor, with western art, historic photos, log accents, western motif pillows, etc. It was just as pictured and perfect. Very clean, comfortable, well-equipped and with a lovely view. Very close to the Northern Entrance to Yellowstone, it was perfect for exploring the park, at far less cost than a lodge room. There is a good grocery store and restaurants and shops in Gardiner, but we ate in every night after long days in the park.

Fantastic cabin

Our cabin was exactly as described. The cleanliness and amenities were outstanding as was the communication with the host. We had 4 adults and the accommodations suited us perfectly. I especially loved the wildlife grazing and listening to the Yellowstone River while sipping coffee. Another huge bonus for us was the use of a Crock Pot. We arrived “home” each day to a ready made meal. Easy prep and easy cleanup. I’ll be sure to recommend the cabin to others interested in visiting Yellowstone!

The best! Views are amazing!

I cannot say enough great things about this cabin! The views are amazing. If you love animal watching this is the spot! Owner communication is wonderful. Clean. Plenty of room. Loved being on the river and the views! Elk around the cabin every day. Fall colors are gorgeous! Our family made memories for a lifetime. Close to town but quiet and peaceful. Perfect balance. Loved seeing all of the wildlife down the drive and dirt road each day! Would recommend to everyone!

Excellent

Three single ladies, and one couple stayed here for four nights, and it was wonderful in every way. The temperature got well below zero in the night, and the cabin stayed toasty warm. It’s a wonderful location just a few miles down the old Gardner Road, which always holds many animal sightings, and majestic mountain surprises. Five people seem to be the limit as far as all of us, eating at the table, and enjoying a fire in the living room. It would’ve been crowded with more people. This is the second time we stayed here, and we will do it again.

Peaceful cabin in Gardiner

We loved our stay in this cozy cabin. We spent 3 nights in June so that we could explore Yellowstone. It took about 15 minutes to get to the Northern entrance to the park, then another 15 minutes to get to Mammoth Hot Springs. It was a pretty ride (with lots of hairpin turns) and we often spotted wildlife. Pros: The cabin was clean, well stocked and looked just like the pics online. I especially appreciated the addition of kid friendly plates. The beds had a super comfy topper on them. Plenty of bath towels and pool towels in the cabin. Gorgeous view of Yellowstone River out the back. Lachelle was a very responsive host and even allowed us to add an additional night to our original reservation with very short notice. Cons: it’s about a 12-15 minute drive on an unpaved road to get to any restaurants/grocery We had to physically remove all trash from the cabin and drive to a collection center. The first time we attempted this, the collection center was closed and we had to come back. They had closed at 4 pm Cabin has wifi but our personal cell coverage was very spotty. Overall, a beautiful cabin in a gorgeous location. We enjoyed our stay.

Why they chose this property

We love hiking, backpacking and skiing the backcountry of Montana, but nothing really compares to the sights and experiences of the Yellowstone area. It is one of the most unique and diverse environments on earth. We feel blessed to be able to visit the cabin often and love to share this opportunity with folks from around the country and around the world.

What makes this property unique

Location, location, location. Views and more views. The cabin is located only 1500 ft from the Yellowstone National Park border and on the Yellowstone River. This unique location provides for abundant wildlife viewing before you even get to The Park. There is so much to do at the cabin without even getting in your car. There is fishing or just taking a walk down to the river and combing the island in front of the cabin for nature’s treasurers. Hiking/cross country ski adventures await up Reese Creek which takes you into YNP on foot.
