About this property

Bird's-Eye view of the Yellowstone River.

New with a View! Day trip into Yellowstone National Park and spend peaceful evenings relaxing on the deck of this new, two-bedroom, above-garage, 1000 sq ft, apartment overlooking the Yellowstone River. See ospreys and bald eagles fish from the river and watch elk and deer graze along the shore. Or melt away the day's stress with a soak in the mineral rich pools of Yellowstone Hot Springs, just a mile away. Afterward, cut the chill by lighting the gas firepit on the deck and settle in for a night-sky spectacular. The stars feel close enough to touch. Enjoy a leisurely morning and watch the sun kiss the top of Cinnabar Mountain. Go to the Park or take the day off from driving and keep it local. Escape the crowds and watch wildlife and songbirds from your deck, book a fishing or rafting trip on the river or a horseback ride in the nearby mountains. This vacation home is easy to find; just off the highway, 9 miles north of Yellowstone Park and Gardiner's restaurants and gift shops.

We truly enjoyed our stay at Yellowstone River Overlook. The property was very clean when we arrived. Hali also did an awesome job of communicating with us. She supplied a list of what was available for our use during our stay which was super helpful. The property was a great place to stay during our trip into Yellowstone. Our favorite part of our stay was enjoying the mornings and evenings out on the balcony that overlooked the river. So peaceful.

Absolutely amazing! The hosts think of absolutely everything. Coolers, ice packs, water bottles, bear spray, cleaning supplies, laundry detergent, food to help & get you by, condiments, games, all the comforts of home and much more. The views are incredible and we got to watch so many elk right from the deck. Property was beyond clean and cozy. Not one complaint.

We had a fantastic stay at Yellowstone River Overlook. It’s a great location to stay if you’re visiting Yellowstone National Park. It’s just a little outside of Gardiner and a welcome reprieve from the crowds in the park. It overlooks the Yellowstone River and is very peaceful. We spent the evenings on the balcony by the propane fire pit enjoying the scenery. We saw moose, elk, bison and a bald eagle from the balcony. Very cool! It’s beautiful decorated and incredibly clean. Brian and Hali have thought of everything when it comes to stocking the place. The kitchen has everything you’d need to prep a meal. Hali also sends a list of everything beforehand, which is very handy. There are coolers and ice packs already frozen if you want to take them into the park, a few cans of bear spray, and umbrellas for those rainy days. Hali was very communicative throughout the booking and left her phone number for if we needed anything during our stay. I’ve already recommended this place to a few family members when they come visit the park.

Perfect place to rest after a day at Yellowstone. The apartment is immaculate and the kitchen is well appointed. We spent most of our time out on the deck watching the buffalo on the near by mountains and a perfect view of the Yellowstone river.

About the host

Hosted by Hali Kirby

Host profile image

I grew up in Iowa, but for the past 25 years, I have made my home here in Gardiner, Montana. I am a junior high/high school teacher, and my husband is a fish biologist in Yellowstone National Park. We feel like the luckiest people in the world.

My husband and I built our home 21 years ago, and we recently decided to add a garage with an apartment on top. This is my first month as a VRBO host, and the best part is meeting the folks from around the world. I also really enjoy sharing the beautiful place I call home.

Gazing over the Yellowstone River as the sun goes down is absolutely my favorite thing to do. But, I also enjoying hiking, paddleboarding the river, rowing our drift boat while my husband fishes, and loving up my dogs. Sitting on the deck with a hot cup of tea and watching the birds or reading a book are also favorites. My husband loves photography, especially wildlife photography and playing ice hockey, so winter is his favorite season. Yellowstone in the winter is spectacular and something everyone should experience at least once.

In general, my husband and I are pretty quiet people who enjoy the wonders of the natural world.

Why they chose this property

Neither one of us ever dreamed we would live on the bank of the Yellowstone River, but it is a privilege we do not take for granted. Aside from the view, we really appreciate the ease of living just off of highway 89. Many of our friends live in more seclusion, which has its benefits, but not having to drive a dusty, bumpy dirt road is a real blessing.

What makes this property unique

This morning, like many mornings, I sat on my deck and watched a small herd of cow elk and their calves cross the Yellowstone River onto the bottom land just below our house. The calves mewling and the cows calling encouragement to their babies is a sound I never tire of. Each morning brings a new splendor. The river is a life-line to a lot of wildlife, especially during the heat of the summer. In the winter, the Big Horn sheep, pronghorn antelope, mule deer, and sometimes bison graze just across the river. It seems unreal to me that I live in such an amazing place.

It seems like a little thing, but private parking makes my property unique. I enjoy the ease of living outside of Gardiner. Gardiner is growing and it's busy, and simply finding a parking spot is just, well, not all that simple. Too much traffic, too many people; it's nice to escape to the solitude of our property. I know you will enjoy mornings and evenings on the deck, just as much as I do. Whatever happens in between is just a bonus, in my opinion.
