Located at the edge of beautiful Gardiner, so close to the park, it was perfect. After the moon set, it was so dark, we could see so many stars. And in the evening, we watched from the wrap-around porch a mess of elk wander down the driveway and munch on the neighbors' lawns. Beautiful! And with a bedroom downstairs and the other upstairs, we could get away from each other when needed. Very relaxing. We'd love to return

Perfect Gardiner Home Base

This cabin was better than described! Great views and we loved having happy hour on the deck and seeing elk out front in the mornings. It is close to restaurants but out of the traffic. It was very well stocked, even had bear spray to borrow. Super close to the park entrance. Would definitely stay here again!

Great location- close to town but yes secluded. We saw elk walking by the deck each night. The house is cozy with everything you need as a great base camp for a Yellowstone adventure. The property manager was very helpful and available by text for any questions we may have had.

Yellowstone Trip

We loved, loved, loved staying at this house! It was comfortable and inviting, and it had everything we needed for an enjoyable stay. We woke up each morning to watch the neighborhood elk grazing on the hillside as the sunrise lit up the contours of the incredible landscape. The town of Gardiner is fun and interesting to explore, and the house is minutes from the entrance to Yellowstone. We are extremely happy about our stay!

The listing was accurate, and the house was very nice, but the host was the real star! We had to make some changes in our travel plans due to a family emergency and Jess was great to work with. She went way beyond what we expected to give us options and meet our needs.

Beautiful Home Outside Yellowstone

This spring we spent long days in the park and it was nice to come back to such a clean, peaceful place. Dorothy has thought of everything from making sure we had bear spray to welcoming us with a note and muffins upon our arrival. With an upstairs suite and a downstairs living area, we had ample room. We have been to Yellowstone many times and this was one of the best places we have stayed. Looking forward to coming back soon.

Yellowstone/Gardiner Visit

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Gardiner when visiting Yellowstone. Very convenient. House is great but the porch is the star! We sat out there every morning and evening. Views and wildlife visits were great. Management team was very responsive and we would highly recommend! Thanks so much.

Overlook the town before heading to the park

The house is a great place to base your stay visiting Yellowstone or the general area around Gardiner. We loved the house. The listing is accurate and the house does have a flight of steps to get to the main living area. It’s not a problem and we loved being higher up to see the park from the house. It also gave a great vantage for the Hells a Roarin horse drive. Would recommend it!

Perfect North Yellowstone home base!

What can I say about this VRBO? It was amazing! Incredible view of the mountains, comfortable accommodations, well-stocked kitchen, elk outside every morning and just a 5 minute drive to the North Yellowstone entrance. It was the perfect home base. The town of Gardiner is very welcoming and quaint. Gardiner Market had everything we needed to cook during our stay. We also checked out Wonderland Cafe which was recommended by the hosts and it was spectacular! Would definitely stau here again!

Yellowstone Base

We thoroughly enjoyed our time at the house. It was ideally located for trips into Yellowstone, specifically the northern half of the park. Additionally, we did a day trip to Bozeman, which was an easy hour drive. The town of Gardiner had plenty of restaurant options, a grocery store, shopping and fuel. The house was well appointed and very clean. The deck offered an excellent place for eating, grilling and spotting wildlife (we saw elk right off the deck and across the street). The host was very attentive, responsive and even informed us of a place to listen to live music in Gardiner. Great house! We would absolutely stay again!

Picture perfect

First time to Yellowstone and it was amazing!! This place has fantastic views!! We loved to sit on the porch at night, have some wine and gaze at the stars in the clear skies:) girls loved having their own space..plenty of room!! Beds were super comfortable!! Had some problems with the internet when we got there but Vicki was right on having someone come out and fix it and offered another place for the night. We didn’t want to move but the offer was so nice:) Yellowstone pizza was so yummy we had it twice;) overall it was a great vacation! Would highly recommend this place😊

What makes this property unique

One thing we always hear from people is how quiet and amazing the views of the mountain are from inside our home and on our large wrap around deck. The home is nestled in on a quiet dead-end road a mile from the North Entrance of Yellowstone National Park and downtown Gardiner. We feel lucky to have been able to have built a home in this quaint town. As we put our home on the market, we have made many updates to our home . We have a fully stocked kitchen and many amenities for your convenience. We want you to enjoy our piece of paradise!
