Loved our stay at Gibbons Gardens in West Yellowstone. Everything was clean and new and had more than enough room for our family of 7... it really was perfect. Theresa was so easy to work with and answered any questions we might have promptly. The convenience to the West gate of Yellowstone NP was also a plus. We would highly recommend it to anyone staying in the area.

Awesome Stay to Celebrate Our 40th Anniversary!

Our entire family joined us at this wonderful home for a week to help us celebrate our 40 years together. Our host, Theresa, has thought of everything that makes Gibbons Meadow Lodge the absolute best place for a Yellowstone vacation. So close to the west entrance to the park and right in the hub of the delightful town of West Yellowstone and its proximity to white water rafting and paddle boarding, horseback riding, and golf. We could not have had a better experience and have recommended the Lodge to family and friends.

Best short term rental I have ever stayed at

This place was beautiful, in a perfect location to walk all over west Yellowstone. Easy access to the parks and to lakes nearby. They thought of everything and the place is so well stocked you don’t need to bring anything except food. It was safe for children and the beds were very comfortable. I would recommend this place to everyone.

Lovely home, very clean, bright, and spacious.

Everything in town is close by, with a grocery store only a few minutes away, and you can easily walk into the main street area for shopping, ice cream, dining, etc.

Fantastic House

This place fantastic! One of the best accommodated rentals I've stayed in, and I've stayed in a lot. The home is very well cared for and is beautiful. The basement was so fun for our kids. Perfect amount of bathrooms and great sized bedrooms. It made our stay with 8 adults and 4 kids not feel crowded at all. Double laundry, 1st and 2nd floor made each group who needed to was clothes be able to do so. And not to mention so close to everything, and the Yellowstone west entrance. Theresa is also so helpful and kind! Highly recommend.

It was very convenient to the park and close to everything in town. We felt very welcome and they added so many little touches to make our week of celebration memorable.

Stunning and Spotless

This property is worth every single dollar. The kitchen was fully stocked with every kitchen gadget you can think of and even an extra fridge in the garage. The rooms were spacious, the bathrooms were spotless. The entire house was gorgeous. The basement is made for hanging out- games, an infinity table, toys for small kids, and even a large TV for movies. You can tell they take very good care of this place and leave it in prime condition for the next tenant. We will come back here again. Incredible is the best way to describe the entire experience.

Exceeded Expectations!

From our initial inquiries through to our departure, our host Theresa and the accommodations at Gibbon Meadows Lodge was a fantastic experience! First the home, it was everything hoped. Beautifully done with perhaps the best stocked kitchen we have ever seen. Details were well thought out and the supplies provided were very appreciated. Other than the food we bought, this house had it all. And the large dining table and living room provided just the right space for our group to get together after a wonderful day in Yellowstone. Plus, the location was great, close access to the park plus we walked into town on many occasions...very convenient! Now our hostess, Theresa was so accommodating, from providing a welcome package loaded with information, to supplying baby equipment, to answering any inquiries we had during our stay. We could not have asked for anyone to be more responsive and courteous. All of our guests agreed, this week we spent in West Yellowstone, enjoying the home and park, was a truly memorable and fantastic family experience!

Our family spent a week at Gibbon Meadows Lodge in West Yellowstone. We had an amazing time. This is a great launching point for visiting Yellowstone or for easy walks into town. The home itself is perfect for a large group. Every kitchen amenity you can imagine is available. The home is super clean and really well decorated with lots of fun wall hangings. The beds are comfortable, and the common rooms are huge and easily accomodated our group of 12. Our host Theresa was available to answer any questions. Highly recommend.

Absolutely Amazing

This place really has it all. You can tell that the owners put a lot of thought into the layout and amenities when they built the house, especially for snowmobilers. The heated garage had plenty of hooks and cubbies for all of our gear, as well as multiple boot dryers to dry everything off when we were done. The place was completely stocked with everything we needed and we were never left wishing we had something. Everything in the place was high end and it was perfect home base for the 10 guys we had snowmobiling. Would be a great setup for families as well. Theresa was fantastic with communication and made sure we felt welcome to reach out with any questions. I can't recommend this place enough.

We have stayed in some very nice houses for our family vacations but this one was the nicest by a fair amount. Everything was labeled well in the kitchen so all could put cookware and dishes away. They even had popcorn and an air popper. The bathrooms had heated toilet seats with lights- a first for me. We use their crock pot and rice cooker. The kitchen is better supplied than our home. We were supplied with dishwasher pods, laundry pods, trash bags, plenty of paper products and even some food essentials. The layout was perfect for a multi- generational family. We had a 14 month old and this house had a sleeping/playing yard and 2 booster/high chairs. Very thoughtfully supplied home. The location is walkable to town and the grocery store (0.6 mile) and a nice playground. Our smallest member greatly enjoyed the rocks under the bear sculpture out front.

About the host

Hosted by Theresa Allred

Host profile image
We celebrated our 42nd wedding anniversary in the summer of 2025 and have enjoyed the beauty of nature since before we married. When our children were young, our first real family vacation (that wasn’t driving to and from school to visit our parents) was camping in Yellowstone National Park. We filled every possible moment with ranger tours, walks to tourist favorites, and drives from one end of the park to the other. We didn’t want to miss anything because we didn’t know if we would have an opportunity to return. We loved Yellowstone so much that we returned regularly. We loved knowing we could return repeatedly; we could see the same THINGS, but they were constantly changing. We have never tired of Yellowstone National Park, and there is still SO much we have never seen. We have dreamed of having a home near the park where we could gather as a family at the end of the day and continue making memories. Gibbon Meadows IS that dream. We hope your family will also make wonderful memories here and you will want to return year after year.

Why they chose this property

Gibbon Meadows is our family home away from home. We are a small family business. We hope you love our home as much as we do.
