About this property

Yellowstone Riverside Cabin - On the River Next to Yellowstone National Park!

Yellowstone Riverside Cabin is located just 5 miles from the north entrance to Yellowstone National Park and the town of Gardiner, Montana.
This cozy cabin sits along the banks of the Yellowstone River.
In the winter enjoy wildlife watching from the warmth of the cabin or drive your own car into Yellowstone National Park and the Lamar Valley. The roads to the cabin are maintained year round with grading and snow plowing.
The cabin's patio, which looks out at the river, has a picnic table, a comfortable love seat, a bench with pad to recline on, and a table top BBQ.
Just walk out your door and fish a Blue Ribbon stream/river. Proper fishing permits are available in town.
Wildlife abounds! Staying at the cabin is like being in the Park but without the crowds. The short drive along the gravel road, Old Yellowstone Trail, is great for viewing wildlife. I drive it with a camera ready to go on the seat beside me.
For the photographers visiting an HD flat screened monitor with IPS is available and photography books.
The cabin is set up with all the modern conveniences, large flat screen TV and Firecube with streaming, Blue ray DVD player, Wi-fi, USB ports, gas and electrical heating.
The kitchen is fully furnished with new dishes, silverware, coffee maker, toaster oven, crock pot, pots and pans, dish towels, mixer, baking pans, utensils, etc.
Washer and Dryer, ironing board and iron, hair drier, lighted vanity mirror w/magnification, USB ports in the walls by the beds and in living room and kitchen.
Many books on nature, etc. to borrow but please leave in the cabin.
I am excited to share my wonderful riverside cabin with you. I have recently purchased this cabin and many new items have been added. It is my hope that you find it meets all your needs and more.
I love this location and i think you will too.

Absolutely Beautiful Sitting

Cabin is right next to Yellowstone river. You can sit on back porch and hear the water rushing past or just a few steps and your fishing. Great cabin with everything you need and more. Was shocked at how many spices in the kitchen. I've stayed a places that dont have anything supplied. Loved the cabin and our stay.

Highly recommend-Yellowstone visit

We had an excellent stay at your cabin, your attention to details was very much appreciated. The view was amazing and the last morning we were there a family of elk visited the fire pit area. Cabin was very clean, beds were comfortable and close to the park entrance. I highly recommend staying here. Thank you so much for sharing your cabin!

Sweet Spot with amazing river and mountain views

Nice accommodations. Had everything we needed for our family of 5. Beds were comfortable and the place was very clean. Communication with Vanya was extremely easy. Cabin is off a gravel road, so expect your car to get dusty, but it is well worth the short drive from Gardiner.

Welcoming environment in a beautiful area.

Enjoyed our stay at this cabin that was off a dirt road and overlooked the Yellowstone River in the backyard. Saw Elk and a variety of birds every day from the back porch that we enjoyed the most. Saw more wildlife including Pronghorns along drive into town and the Yellowstone North Entrance that was only 4 miles away. Owner was quick to respond to questions during our stay. All necessities were provided plus some that we did not even think of. Would recommend this property and consider staying again in the future. Only one small inconvenience was the inability to expose of our trash with no trash service or dumpster nearby but I think the owner may be working on a solution.

LOCATION was perfect & about 15 minutes from North Entrance to Yellowstone. We visited Yellowstone everyday & this location is PERFECT! The elk and antelope were all around our cabin. Gardiner is a great small western town with good food & fun restaurants. We were up early & home late so were not able to utilize the cabin amenities, but the beds were very comfortable.

Very pretty place . Well stocked with all needed Check-in was without a hitch Cozy and comfyIt was handy to town and Yellowstone ! Very peaceful to sit out back on porch and listen to river or see the elk come up in the yard to eat . The only thing I had an objection to was that I understood one of the bathrooms to be a shower- only instead of both baths having tub/shower . I misunderstood. I really needed a handicap type shower . But overall was perfect

Perfect place to relax

We recently stayed at this peaceful cabin. With the sound of the river and views we barely went inside. The cabin was fully equipped with all of the amenities and very clean! The cabin is close enough to town, but far enough away to enjoy the quiet. We loved exploring Yellowstone Park and white water rafting down the Yellowstone River.

This cabin was exactly as advertised. Two large bedrooms with comfortable beds, well equipped kitchen and patio. Nice view of the river and of the night sky. Excellent communication with the owner. She’s obviously put a lot of time and effort into furnishing and equipping this cabin.

Great location and very comfortable

Very clean and comfortable accommodations, so nice to have a common space to hang out as a family instead of hotel lobbies. We had everything we needed and made use of the selection of condiments in the fridge. The kitchen is outfitted for cooking and we had a couple of great dinners. Books in the bookshelf were informative and useful - used one to aid in identifying some wildflowers we saw nearby. Vanya is super helpful - Check in and check out were really easy. The location is fantastic. We were hoping to get in some night sky but had clouds. The dirt road is not daunting at all, very easy to navigate in daylight hours. Did not try it at night. The little Gardiner cemetery on the dirt road is an interesting slice of local history. Highly recommend!

About the host

Hosted by Vanya de Jung

Host profile image
Nature is my passion. I grew up in Eugene, Oregon but spent a year in American Samoa when i was 7. In my teens I lived a year in Sri Lanka. After college I moved to Honolulu, Hawaii where I currently live. I love the islands, am an avid paddler, but I also love the mainland. In hopes of spending more time on the mainland I started looking for a cabin close to Yellowstone, close to my Uncle and close to fishing. I was very lucky to acquire this cabin from Kaylie and Michael who owned the cabin for many years and shared it with people as a vacation rental when they were not using it. I am excited to do the same. I took possession of the cabin end of November 2017 and spent most of January and part of February making it a comfortable, cozy and fun cabin on the Yellowstone river. I hope it's just about perfect!

Why they chose this property

I chose this spot because I fell in love with Yellowstone in the winter. It's hard to beat YS National Park in the summer but the winter is my favorite. I like to be able to drive into the park on my own in the winter and not have to go with a snow coach. The North entrance allows this. The setting here is absolutely beautiful and this area is not overly commercialized or crowded.
When i was looking for a spot to possibly purchase a little cabin i stumbled across this one and there was no turning back. I had to have it. I became friends with Kaylie and found she was looking for the right person to pass her cabin on to and luckily she decided that was me! So, here I am.
I hope this is an ideal cabin, one with lots of wildlife viewing and removed from crowds but still has access to a small town. A cabin with modern conveniences, especially in this digital age: wi-fi, USB ports, UHD TV with sound bar, UHD Blue-ray DVD, DVDs to borrow. A cozy cabin that's warm in the winter and cool in the summer.
It is my hope to furnish my cabin so that everyone will thoroughly enjoy their stay and hopefully have all their expectations met. It is my goal to have visitors want for nothing.
All that being said, please help take care of the cabin and the furnishings. This is my home, it is very special to me. Please help me keep it in good condition and high standards. I ask that you treat my cabin as you would your own, or as you would a good friend's place. We are trusting each other. I am striving to have many returning guests and/or guests by word of mouth.

What makes this property unique

If you don't mind driving a few miles on a gravel road, it is a county-maintained road but usage can cause some wash-boarding, you'll be greatly rewarded by the surroundings. It's a common occurrence to see elk, deer, pronghorn antelope, bison, bighorn sheep, and more along the drive. Please, when on the gravel road, just keep your speed down to 25 mph or less and as low as 20 mph at night.
There can be dangerous animals on property - Grizzly and black bears, wolves, mountain lions, elk, bison, deer, rattlesnakes, etc. Please maintain clean patio/property at all times. And remember never to approach the wild animals. Keep a safe distance.
Be safe, carry bear spray when hiking/biking.
Mahalo and ENJOY!
