Grand Pa’s Cabin and the property are really not able to be described. It was like being in a painting. We LOVED the cabin. It was perfect for the family. Loved all the little touches and decor. The view was gorgeous. We loved that the cabin was remote. We were sad to leave.

Can't overstate how awesome this cabin and location are. Star gazing while you hear the creek, elk bugling, wind in the trees. Super comfortable stay. Would 100% recommend and will be back here!

Perfect Rustic Mountain Getaway

It was everything we were hoping it would be and our host was better than that! The communication and accommodation from host was the best we've ever experienced in our travels. I could not be more happy with our experience.

Nice cabin- true camping vibe. Just a note for location it is 7 miles down a dirt road, so running back in to town is not a quick trip.

Our kids didn’t want to leave! Absolutely beautiful little cozy cabin. It had everything we needed. We loved the playhouse in the back, the horses down the hill, the big porch and the sound of the stream. We hope to come back again!

Really enjoyed being away from the crowds. Waking up to the sound of elk bugling and having the herd just out the front door was a great experience. Would love to come back to this place for another vacation sometime down the road. James

Beautiful log cabin!

We enjoyed our stay at this wonderful rustic log cabin on a picturesque ranch in Montana. Though being quite comfortable, it transported us back in time to the “old west” Amazing view sitting on deck, fields, bushes, babbling brook in the foreground, snow capped mountains in the distance (we stayed in May)…just wonderful. A long scenic unpaved road to access the property was also part of the charm. Very happy we were able to stay at “grandpa’s cabin!”

A scary and unlivable place

We drove into gardener and found a nice populated city waiting for us. However, don't let this fool you, the drive to this cabin was 40 min into the forest. We were driving on dirt and we were led into the middle of the mountains. Our hearts were pounding as we got closer, we eventually even lost signal. We finally got there and it was a house straight from a horror movie. The pictures shown are complete lies, instead picture any house from any horror movie. We could've died there and no one would've known because it was so deep in the forest. There was no lights and the house door was left open. My daughter started crying and my wife refused to step out of the vehicle. IT WAS THE WORST EXPERIENCE OF MY LIFE. NO ONE SHOULD EVER VISIT OR RENT THIS PLACE IN THE FUTURE.

Response from VrboOwner on 25 March 2020
As people should know the real truth, the cabin is 25 minutes from Gardiner. 6 miles of dirt road and 8 miles paved highway. You can’t make up a random picture of a cabin and put it on a site to rent to people. These people went to the wrong cabin, our neighbors. Our cabins have other buildings near them. The pictures of the cabin are not horror and in person it does not even look close being a horror cabin. I was in contact with these people and they never let me know what time they were showing up or what was even going on. I would’ve left a light on for them. We have people on our ranch at all times supervising. Check in is at 4pm. It doesn’t get dark til 9pm. They should have been more prepared for what they were coming into. It’s in the description before they booked.

Cozy cabin

We were vacationing to Yellowstone and wanted a place other than a hotel. This place was clean, cozy and felt like a home. Also the sheets smelled fresh! A place we could relax after a long day of touring and make supper to enjoy outside with our family. The grounds were great to go for walks and visit the horses. My whole family enjoyed and we made a lot of memories.

Wonderful Ranch Experience

Our family had a wonderful time at this property and would highly recommend. It's likely we will be back soon for another visit. This is such a unique and beautiful setting and a great way to explore a backroad in a famous valley in Montana. The key with this property is getting exactly what we expected. We didn't want a hotel, we didn't mind the drive from the main road, and we value the quiet and privacy of being in a rural setting. The area is stunning, the quiet was fantastic and our kids didn't watch a single minute of TV for all of the things around them to keep them busy. (They are 7 and 5.) They played in the creek on the property, visited the animals who came to say hello, had a camp fire, and got their own beads in the loft each night. This is a cabin, to be sure, so don't expect multiple closed bedrooms and multiple full bathrooms, but the views and the setting were spot on. Be comfortable with a gravel road approach and enjoy the sunsets on the deck. We came to float and fish the Yellowstone River, and the location was great for that. One of our put-ins was right at the bottom of the access road to the property. It was also a bonus that Yellowstone hot spring was right at the bottom of the hill.

Slice of Heaven

The McDonald Ranch is truly a slice of Heaven. My family, including my father in law and three teenagers, all loved this home and property. Saw tons of wildlife. The prairie dogs are adorable! Home had every week needed and was very comfortable. Such a wonderful place!

Rustic Cabin

Just what we were looking for. Rustic means that its not a Hilton resort. We absolutely loved it.
