About this property

Electric Peak Cabin in Yellowstone Park

NORTH PARK ENTRANCE AT GARDINER. This Yellowstone Cabin Rental Is On Private Acreage Five Miles From The Park's North Gate with the Best Wildlife Watching And Cutthroat Trout Fishing!

Charming cabin built in 2009 with two bedrooms that sleeps 5 located just five minutes from Yellowstone Park's North Entrance on several acres of private property. Perfect for travelers who want easy access to the famous Northern Range and Lamar Valley with its bison, elk, deer, wolves, bears, AND fishing for world-famous Yellowstone cutthroat trout!

This beautiful cabin is unlike all other vacation rental properties in the area. Lying in an extremely private location just above Highway 89 north of Gardiner, Montana, and the Roosevelt Arch, the cabin is easily accessed by a well-maintained, short, 300 yard-long Private Drive.

This setting provides you with total solitude and isolation from any hustle and bustle of the busy roadways leading to/from the park. However, at the same time, when needed, you are just minutes away from restaurants, the market, and shops in Gardiner or a bit further away in Livingston and Bozeman.

Built on a log frame, this cabin has all modern amenities yet has a great amount of rustic appeal including beautiful hardwood floors. It has enormous windows giving you unmatched views of Yellowstone's Electric Peak, Devil's Slide, Dome Mountain, and many other spectacular geological features. Wildlife abound here and deer, elk, pronghorn antelope, bighorn sheep, or bison are seen on the meadows and mountain slopes near the cabin. Often during the spring and fall, they are standing right in the cabin's yard. No-where else in the northern Rockies will you find wildlife this abundant and close in a natural setting.

Horses graze nearby, and the Yellowstone River, home to world-class trout fishing, leaves the park and passes just a few hundred yards below you.

There are many access sites to the Yellowstone River very near to the cabin, one within easy walking distance (that is a very great fishing spot...just ask our boys!).

Being near Gardiner, our cabin is at the home of the Yellowstone Forever, a long-standing educational institute offering numerous courses in the park. The Electric Peak Cabin is a perfect place to stay when visiting and attending these courses.

Great location just outside Yellowstone. A herd of elk hung around the cabin. Cabin is cozy and well stocked with utensils, towels etc… Good WiFi. Could use a new mattress and shower head. Couldn’t dispose of our garbage because the disposal site hours are 9AM to 4PM

Good location

The cabin was cute and in a good location. It could use some improvements such as replacing the broken trash can, more kitchen necessities and more comfortable living room furniture. We found it to be a little too small for four adults; however we were basically there just to sleep. The shower is also very small and I’m only 5’ tall. That said, the views were beautiful, it’s close to town and lots of wildlife.

Beautiful Gateway to Yellowstone

Our stay at the cabin was amazing. The cabin is only minutes from Yellowstone, while still giving that secluded, country stay. We enjoyed watching the sunsets and gazing at the stars. Each night at dusk my family and I watched a massive herd of elk come down from the mountains and graze in the hay fields across the river. The cabin was equipped with everything we needed and then some. Gardiner is only minutes away if you need anything else during the stay. Todd always responded promptly with any questions we had. I would recommend this to anyone visiting Yellowstone.

Carolina family

My son, wife and myself enjoyed a week at Gardiner, residing at Todd’s cabin Our stay was highlighted by multiple day trips to Yellowstone, a rafting excursion down the Yellowstone River, viewing wildlife, often times from the cabin, and enjoying the town of Gardiner. The location could not have been better, a very private setting just minutes drive to Yellowstone’s north entrance The cabin was very comfortable and equipped with everything that would or could be needed Thanks for a very enjoyable week

Perfect little treasure right outside of yellowstone

This property was amazing. Super clean and very comfy. We really enjoyed the addition of binoculars and outdoor seating to watch the animals outside of our stay. For being neighbors to a horse ranch you cannot smell them which I think some people would be happy to know! We got to enjoy the view of beautiful sunsets and watch elk as they grazed on the grasses of the property. The bedding could use a little bit of an upgrade but overall the bedrooms were cozy and allowed us to get a good night’s rest! I would rebook this place 100 times.over. We had only one full day in Yellowstone and because of its location we could do everything we wanted to
