About this property
Breathtaking Views of Yellowstone on the Yellowstone River in a Luxury Lodge!
We have an absolutely ideal location... amazing views and convenience too..
AND the home has been entirely renovated. So be prepared to enjoy many new improvements - hard wood floors, kitchen with granite counter tops, new windows, recycled wood ceiling and beams, updated private bedroom/bathroom suites through out, new furniture, game room with pool table, ping pong table and more....
Start your days watching the gorgeous sunrise on Electric Peak (one of the highest mountains in Yellowstone National Park) right from the breakfast table with the gentle sounds of the Yellowstone River flowing by the property. Our lodge is perched above the Yellowstone River with an expansive view overlooking Yellowstone National Park. Wildlife abounds! Watch eagles, osprey and ravens soar over the River. From the dining room or deck off the back, we've watched a wolf pack pursue and take down a pronghorn, eagles catching fish in the river, bison herds grazing, elk swimming across the river and a pronghorn give birth to twins! You never know what you may see - it can be utterly amazing wildlife encounters or simply the awe inspiring beauty of the mountains and river. Our view is south facing, so there's lots of sunlight to soak in all day long. At the end of the day, grill in the yard and let the kids play on the swing set or just sit on the deck while you watch the sunset reflections on the river and enjoy the 'big sky' views of Montana and Yellowstone.
The convenience of our property will make your vacation feel simplified and relaxed. You can walk to the grocery store, restaurants, ice cream and pizza too...check out the bookstore, gift shops or even white water rafting outfitters where they'll 'suit you up' and take you rafting down the river, right by your vacation home! The Roosevelt Arch at the northern entrance to Yellowstone National Park is just a mile away. And just a couple miles from there, you can soak in the Boiling River - the hot springs in Yellowstone Park. There's A LOT to experience in Yellowstone (we certainly love it!) and we'd be happy to point you in the right direction and help make it a vacation of a lifetime for you.

Dorothy was an excellent, attentive host. Our entire family from 7 to 77 loved our stay here. The playground in the yard was a big hit. The house is in a great location to town, Yellowstone, activities, and restaurants. The market is within walking distance. The house is decorated to resemble your own home. Beautiful views as well. Thank you for a happy vacation!

The property was stunning and met all of our needs down to the last detail. Perfect location, kitchen not completely stripped of little items needed such as spices, oils, pan spray etc. So great not to worry about buying or bringing sugar for my coffee! Space was very clean. Dorothy was very responsive with any questions or concerns. Perfect location for Yellowstone visit, shopping and eating in town. Can recommend to anyone visiting!!
Everything was perfect. Plenty of dishes and kitchen stuff to make cooking easy with a big group. Every bedroom has a bathroom. The view of the Yellowstone River and animals was amazing. Loved sitting on the porch in the evening with family made it special. Dorothy surprised us with treats like scones on arrival day. So yummy! Thanks!!
Our stay at this spectacular 5-bedroom, 5-bathroom home on the Yellowstone River in Montana exceeded every expectation. The property itself is absolutely breathtaking — peaceful, beautifully maintained, and surrounded by stunning river and mountain views that made every morning and evening unforgettable.The home was spacious, impeccably clean, and thoughtfully designed with every comfort imaginable. Whether relaxing by the river, enjoying meals together, or simply taking in the scenery, every moment felt special.What truly made this experience exceptional was the hostess. She was incredibly welcoming, attentive, and responsive from the moment we booked until the day we left. Any question or request was answered almost immediately, and her genuine hospitality made us feel completely cared for throughout our stay.This was truly a five-star experience in every way. We would return without hesitation and highly recommend this incredible Yellowstone River retreat to anyone looking for a luxurious and unforgettable Montana getaway.

What an awesome place! We had a group of 13 ages from baby to adults and the spaces worked perfectly for our family trip!
This was a perfect place to stay for our large extended family. The house is beautiful and has so many fun things to do. Gardiner is a great place to stay to visit Yellowstone and has lots of other fun activities. There are a number of restaurants and shops within walking distance. The elk all over town were wonderful.
The house was great for a large multi-generational vacation. The view off the back deck was incredible and the large kitchen/table made dinners together delightful. The host was incredibly responsive to questions and offered helpful suggestions. The nearness to Yellowstone was absolutely ideal. It was a great house and a great vacation!

It was wonderful to meet all of you. Thanks for submitting a review!
Beautiful home with breathtaking views. Met all our expectations! Enjoyed being so close to the park and walking distance to town. Had a great time exploring the park and surrounding areas. The men had a great time fishing everyday on the Yellowstone river. Watching the wildlife from outside our windows was the highlight of the trip. Would love to return to this area and this house again ! Thanks for opening up your home, it was a treat.
We loved it here—pictures do not do it justice! Great location—walking distance to many restaurants and quick access to the park.

You loved it - wonderful! Yes, our location is fabulous for convenience and access to Yellowstone. I have often heard 'pictures do not do it justice'. It's such a unique property it's hard to capture in a photo... I may have to try a video sometime :)
The home is beautiful, the view out back is amazing, close to the park and activities, and tons of extras (laundry detergent, paper products, misc kitchen items stocked, games, etc,...)
This house was all we hoped it would be and we would happily stay there again. In the morning, the view of sunrise on Electric Peak with the rushing water of the Yellowstone below was spectacular. The house is beautiful - the common areas and kitchen were spacious, easily accommodating us. We loved the artwork created by the owners. We had everything we needed in the kitchen to fix our meals. The entrance to Yellowstone Park is less than a 5 minute drive. The house is located on the main street through town, but we did not find this to be a problem. Communication with the house manager was easy - she always replied quickly. An excellent property.
This property was hands down our favorite VRBO stay. Not only was it perfectly located to the north entrance of YS, it was clean, beautiful and great working with Dorothy and Shirl.
We highly recommend this place and would stay there again ourselves. So beautiful!!
Great location, very relaxing and beautiful view. Very spacious! the only thing that I was disappointed in- how close the houses and town was to the house. The pictures taken make it look like no one else was around the house, when in fact there is a hotel and stores right across the street. So that part was disappointing, no mention of any of it in the listing.
The home was perfect for our trip! It was close to Yellowstone National Park and provided a serene place to relax at the end of the day. The view was amazing and the sound of the Yellowstone River was peaceful. We recommend it highly!
Amazing home with all the amenities you need. Very clean! Beds were extremely comfortable and the sound of the river made for the best sleep. Loved that each room had it’s own bathroom. Would definitely stay again. ❤️

The place was perfect for our family. Having all our children and grandson together in one place was a need, being surrounded by such beauty was a bonus! I looked all over and was so grateful to have found this listing. Dorothy was such a help and treat.

Great Time!
Excellent stay - great first time for visiting Yellowstone! House was nice - beautiful kitchen, and an awesome deck overlooking the Yellowstone River and the Gallatin National Forest. Our hosts were very gracious and helpful. If you have a large family and want to visit Yellowstone this property is perfect - plenty of sleeping spaces and a very good sized home to accommodate everyone.

Best vacation EVER!
Can't say enough great things. The house, the location, the owners, it was spectacular in every way. Our adventures in Yellowstone were amazing. We ALL loved it - every last one of us - from kids to grandparents. We will be back!!
This welcoming, comfortable home had everything for our group of 8. We enjoyed morning coffee on the back deck overlooking the river, walking into Gardiner, rafting on the river, home cooked meals and eating at the restaurants, cocktail time in the evenings around the fire pit looking at the stars and 4 glorious days in Yellowstone National Park. Terrific host.
We absolutely loved the house and the environment. Whether an outdoorsman or getting your first taste of the great outdoors, you will not be disappointed in the home.

About the host
Hosted by Dorothy Dears
I am an artist, living, working and raising 2 children, at the edge of Yellowstone with my business partner/husband, also an artist. I enjoy living in the midst of wildlife, surrounded by the beauty of the natural world - and take advantage of my Yellowstone 'back yard' (literally!) every chance I get. I paint outside in Yellowstone often and in my 'spare time', I hike, cross country ski, canoe and kayak.... and remodel ;)
Why they chose this property
We literally searched for years looking for 'the spot'. We are artists fortunate enough to live where ever we'd like. Our property is on the Yellowstone River overlooking Yellowstone National Park. The mountain and river views are gorgeous and we're at the edge of a wonderful, friendly small town. We can walk to the grocery store and Yellowstone National Park too! Hiking, skiing and soaking in the Hot Springs are just minutes away. Plus, we're close enough to take advantage of Livingston and Bozeman, MT - a couple great towns with good vibes and bigger amenities. You can get to lots of art, outdoor activities and shopping after a beautiful drive up Paradise Valley (aptly named). That's why we call our spot 'the center of the universe.'
What makes this property unique
Not too many places on this Earth have what we have. How many people can watch a wolf pack hunt, eagles and osprey catch fish, bison herds graze, elk swim and twin pronghorns born - right from their dining room window? We watch Electric Peak (one of the highest mountains in Yellowstone Park) as the sun rises it turns a beautiful 'morning pink' with the soft sounds of the river in the background. We can watch the sun set and turn the river to a ribbon of orange, then at night, with the moon above, the river again comes alive and sparkles with the moons reflection. How could we want anymore?
