About this property

Private, Cozy , Mountain Home Located On A Trout Stream - 10 Miles To YNP

Mountain Retreat is a country styled home nestled among cedar, pine, and cottonwood trees. Completely secluded on over an acre and boardering National Forest, Mountain Retreat is the perfect location for hunting, fishing, cross-country skiing, whitewater rafting, hiking, or simply relaxing. Located 10 miles north of Gardiner, MT, the North Entrance to Yellowstone National Park, and about .75 miles from Hwy 89 Mountain Retreat is close to the action but far enough away to miss the crowds.

Cedar Creek, a native cutthroat spawning stream, flows along the edge of the house which provides breathtaking views out of many windows throughout the home. The sound of the creek lulls you to sleep at night for an incredibly restful and relaxing experience.

Mountain Retreat is ideally located for those who want easy access to fishing and hiking. From your doorstep a mile and a half easy hiking trail takes you up the mountain to the OTO Dude Ranch. The OTO is steeped in history and illustrates the fascination so many have with the American West at the turn of the century. The book Music, Saddles, and Flapjacks, a copy is located at Mountain Retreat for your reading pleasure---is a great read about the pioneers of the dude ranching movement at the OTO. If fishing is what you're after, Mountain Retreat is 10 mins from 4 different fishing accesses. The Yellowstone River is a blue ribbon trout stream and excellent river to hone your fly-fishing skills on and enjoy a day on the water.

We love our piece of paradise along Cedar Creek and want to share it with our guests. Mountain Retreat is a unique property and we will strive to make sure it is the best experience possible for you!

The house has 2 bedrooms, one with a queen bed and the other has a double bed. It also has a multi-use room with two single beds. There is 1 bathroom in the house. The living room has a fire-place and views of the beautiful surroundings out both picture windows. Along the back of the house is a covered porch with chairs and a BBQ grill for your use along with a picnic table all looking out at Cedar Creek.

A Perfect Getaway in a Serene retreat

My husband and I had the most wonderful stay at this charming mountain home. From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed by the stunning surrounding landscape, so picturesque with a creek, trees, and an adorable bunny! The location was wonderfully secluded yet so close to town offering the best of both worlds.. Our hostess and her daughter were fantastic-warm and welcoming, and incredibly attentive to our needs, ensuring that we had a great experience during our vacation. We couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay. I will definitely be returning!

Mountain getaway

We enjoyed the outside peacefulness, having our coffee in the morning and wine in the evening. Absolutely loved the creek and viewing it from the bedrooms and dining room. The stars at night were gorgeous! Loved hiking around the area too. Quick drive to Gardiner and Yellowstone. Would definitely stay again!

Excellent Base Camp for a Yellowstone Trip

This cabin on a mountain is an excellent base camp for a Yellowstone Trip. It is a bit of a drive away from the actual Park, but it's worth it to get away from the crowds and relax near the running stream. Excellent property that we hope to stay at again during our next Yellowstone adventure.

Cozy Cottage

A cozy cottage at the end of a dirt road along a beautiful small flowing river. Nice tall trees help keep the house cool. The only thing that will be looking in the windows will be wild animals. We loved having the windows open and listening to the rushing little river. The host was quick to respond if we had any issues. We loved the village outside of the north entrance to Yellowstone. It had a good grocery store and plenty of restaurants and shops. Gardiner is a great location if you have to stay outside the park.

Perfect place to stay!!!!

We absolutely loved our stay!!! I wish we could have stayed longer!!! I would definitely recommend this place to anyone. I loved that it was nestled off the road by a creek that was so nice to listen too. I loved the cool trail you can take to the top and look down. It is only 10 minutes from town where the Yellowstone entrance is. It also has a grocery store, gas, restaurants, and souvenirs. So all that is only 10 mins away. We loved playing games at night. It's a great house to stay at!!! Tha is so much for the goodies you left us!!! It was so nice spending our 29 th wedding anniversary there!! Highly recommend!!

Excellent stay

This cabin was located about 10 miles outside of Gardiner, Montana. It was a beautiful little cabin nestled in the tree line with several other cabins. It was adjacent to a National forest. The cabin was very clean and nicely stocked with a full kitchen. The cabin had been updated. It had plenty of beds for our large family. There was a mountain brook that ran outside the cabin that continuously left a beautiful sound in the air. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here.

Lovely and close to Yellowstone

Thank you for a wonderful stay! We really enjoyed the sound of the stream and the quiet getaway that was clean, close to Yellowstone and well maintained. Everything was easy and pleasant. The property is easy to find and very lovely. We even had a hand written note and wine waiting for us. Really appreciated having a well stocked kitchen. Thank you!

Cabin in the woods

Our stay was great! Cabin was clean and had the amenities we needed. The creek is a beautiful addition, It’s such a lovely sound to listen to! We liked how close the cabin is to Tellowstone but that it is private and away from all of the chaos. Would definitely stay here again.

Short drive to Yellowstone

Loves the house! It was perfect distance from Yellowstone but out of the way of crowds. Creek right next to the house was wonderful to fall asleep to. House has everything thing you need for a perfect vacation. Kids watched dvds after spending all day in Yellowstone and didn’t even miss their fast wifi.
