This house is a must stay for Yellowstone and the surrounding area. It is very close to the north gate and Gardiner. Bonnie is simply the best. The fact that you can fish the Yellowstone right out the back door is an absolutely priceless bonus.

The chalet is beautiful and overlooks Yellowstone for amazing views. Bonnie was incredibly helpful and gave some great tips for our stay. The chalet was well stocked for our cooking needs and our kids loved sleeping in the bunk beds. If we’re able to come back, we would absolutely rent the chalet again.

We loved our stay and couldn't be more happy with the home and the location. The home had stunning views and was an ideal location to access the park and all the Gardiner had to offer. The home itself is very well appointed with everything we needed and included very high-end features. We with out a doubt recommend this property to anyone interested.

This was the perfect home base for the end of our Yellowstone stay. The house was spotless, comfortable, very well equipped and close enough to the North Entrance that we could pop back into the park easily; Mammoth was only about 20 minutes away. The location itself is spectacular. We had elk in the yard almost every evening, saw marmots around the property, and had pronghorn and even a coyote nearby. Some of my favorite time from the whole trip was simply sitting on the deck in the evening looking out at the mountains and landscape. Having a full kitchen and plenty of space after several nights in park hotels was also wonderful. Bonnie was incredibly responsive, kind and full of useful local recommendations. Yellowstone Roughriders is just down the road as well, and I highly recommend their cast iron cowboy cookout while you’re here; it was the highlight of our time in Gardiner. We had a wonderful stay and would happily come back.

The river front chalet is even more gorgeous and impressive than the pictures show. The house is spotless, the furnishings are updated with a tasteful country theme. The view!!!! The view is unlike anything I’ve ever seen. Literally the best view in the area. Herds of elk, and antelope frequented the yards daily, rabbits frolicked and there were baby Ospreys learning to fish all in our front yard !!The beds were comfortable, the sofa were comfortable as well and the bathrooms were spotless and clean. The location is ideal to stay close to all the adventure and minutes to the park but to also away from anything touristy and busy. Bonnie was so easy to work with. She was responsive and kind! We felt at home in the house from the moment we entered. If we ever came back I wouldn’t stay anywhere else. I’ve already sent the link to the house to friends who saw our pictures! Amazing all around

The chalet was immaculate! Very clean. Well appointed. It had everything you need for a great stay. While we didn’t cook much at the chalet, it had everything we could possibly have needed if we did. The chalet was very convenient to Gardiner with a dirt road that went straight to the town and North entrance to Yellowstone. We enjoyed driving the dirt road and often preferred it to the main road due to the wildlife we would see while driving the road. The views from the chalet were amazing! It had a big wrap around front porch. I only wish it would have been warmer when we were there so we could enjoy it more. The chalet had a lot of upscale features like motorized shades, gas fireplace (very cozy on cold mornings) and premium appliances. The host was amazing and always available to answer any questions. She was very proactive with outreach and provided us very helpful information ahead of and during our stay. I would rate the chalet 10/10 and would not hesitate to stay here again if we are ever back in the area.

Hi Kenneth, wow ... short and sweet and to the point is when you said you "....could have just sat on the porch and watched the wildlife." Yes, the chalet was designed to encompass an excellent viewing angle for photography, filming, observing our wildlife, the Yellowstone River, and a safe and comfortable place to just sit on the balcony and watch our amazing wildlife critters both large and small :) I am grateful for your visit and any future visit(s)!

Beautiful home with amazing views and close to Yellowstone enterance

Bonnie Lynn was a wonderful host. She communicated well leading up to our vacation giving us fun activities to do in Gardiner knowing the North entrance was closed to the public. We loved sitting on the expansive deck and watching the wildlife come into the yard. The location was perfect as it was so close to town. We loved our stay!

Amazing! Bonnie was a great communicator and we loved the place! Great views from every window, fantastic kitchen, and more wildlife than we saw in Yellowstone. We also watched 3 bald eagles down in the river in front of us. Thank you Bonnie for such a great time in your wonderful place.

The Standard-Bearer for Exceptional!

My family has both stayed at and owned many vacation rentals. This home was by far one of the cleanest and well appointed homes we have had the privilege to stay. Bonnie has an eye for detail and a personal touch offering insights and suggestions for exploring Yellowstone. The location is perfect and serene after a long day exploring the park.

Perfect relaxation in such a perfect chalet

We stayed at the chalet for 5 nights and was an absolute fabulous vacation. Accommodations were clean, modern, comfortable and all with views of picturesque Yellowstone/Gardiner area. Bonnie Lynn was very welcoming and communicative with us and offered her help and recommendations for anything we might have needed. The nearby elk, bison, antelope and osprey welcomed us as well, and we even got to hear the elk bugling right outside the bedroom window! Was such a great stay in a fantastic home in Gardiner MT...would highly recommend to anyone!!!

Close, clean & quiet

Well appointed two bedroom. Super clean & quiet respite after long days hiking and fishing in Yellowstone. Hard to get much closer to the park, the Chalet connects to the park via the Old Yellowstone trail, only 10 minutes to the park and Gardiner. The balcony in the evenings is a great place to relax, view the Elk as the graze 50 feet from the house, have a nightcap and then watch the stars. Bonnie is a great host and a wealth of knowledge on the park and the area to help plan your visit. Thanks for a great visit!

Brett, thank you for taking the time to place your VRBO review! You highlighted our clean and quiet respite which is music to my ears as that is my goal for all my guest visits! Thank you also for mentioning the fact one cannot get any closer to Yellowstone Park and is why we have frequent visits from the elk and our other amazing wildlife neighbors. Views from the wrap around deck was planned for your relaxation and viewing excellence. Our clear night skies promote what we call our night sky exceptional star gazing and at times allows capturing the magnificent aurora borealis! Also, you mentioned as the host my wanting my guests to meet their Yellowstone wish-list is why I often mention that questions are welcome at any time! For me it is not just to provide the very best place to call home away from home, it is to share options and suggestions that would meet and/or exceed your planned YP experience. Gratefully, Bonnie

Yellowstone Trip

Loved the house! We wanted to stay in a house that had the Montana views and this was perfect! It was about 10 minutes to the Northwest entrance to Yellowstone. Saw elk and antelope every day at the house. How cool is that?! Kitchen was well supplied with everything we needed. Will stay here again if we get out this way. Bonnie was a great host!

Bonnie is the best host. She’s very communicative and helpful with park info and tour guides. The property is pristine, kitchen is fully stocked with all cookware, and the Blackstone Cooktop on the porch is awesome. Love Gardiner, town is awesome and right on the park boundary. Wildlife was abundant, we saw more elk on the property than we did at the park! 10/10 would recommend.
