This is an AMAZING location! Million Dollar views. If you're like my wife and I, you won't want to do anything other than sit on the deck and take it all in. We grilled dinner, had drinks and woke up early the next morning to watch the sun rise. GREAT Hosts as well. Thank you for such an incredible stay. We will be back!!!!

Fabulous location and views

Great location, local town has much to offer, breathtaking views with large windows. Great time at Yellowstone with easy entry. Easy drive from Bozeman. Some privacy issues with deck and a path right next to some of those large windows of the house and people walking by can look directly into the home.

Gorgeous view and perfect location

Thoughtful details, incredible view of the river, everything one could need and a kind host. Sooo close to the entrance to Yellowstone but more enjoyable than staying in the park. We would definitely stay again!! Next time we would stay longer and enjoy the hot springs nearby, raft the river and add another hiking day in the park.

Perfect Yellowstone Stay

My husband and I stayed here while visiting the Northern loop of Yellowstone NP. It was immaculate and beautiful. We enjoyed the back balcony with a perfect view of the river. The location was perfect for both the entrance to the park as well as town restaurants and shops. Owner was great to work with and we would definitely stay there again!

This apartment was exactly what was pictured, PERFECTION! Nice size for a family of 4. Having the 1/4 bathroom was great for 3 ladies getting ready in the morning. It was a bit warm sleeping with no AC but opening the windows to let the cool mountain air in at night was helpful. Fans in each room were provided. We walked about 5 minutes to the food truck courtyard for breakfast and dinner. Friday night has live music there and the

River Stay

The vrbo condo was awesome. The kitchen was well stocked, the condo was clean, plenty of fresh towels, the view/location on the Yellowstone River is awesome! Can't have a better view! There is one small market in the town of Gardiner which seems to have all of what you need. Not many good restaurants there though. Wonderland Cafe is the best, opens at 4:30 for dinner. show up at 4:30 get your name on the list or be seated then for an early dinner. You cannot call ahead for seating or reservations.

Hated the place (snark warning)

I asked my wife if I should give a horrible review so that no one would want to rent and we would have any week that we wanted. We were watching Elk every evening from the patio. We were walking distance to the Roosevelt arch. We were able to do day trips into the park with no issues. Patrik, the host, is extremely cordial and informative. Patrik's dogs are a hoot, especially the GSP. My wife was sitting on the corner of the patio closest to the river one evening Knitting and he came bounding over and launched himself into her lap like he was a toy dog. The house is fantastic! Do yourself a favor and close the shades during the day to keep the heat from the sun down. Do yourself a favor and keep all of the windows open at night so you can sleep to cool breezes and the sound of the river in the background. Gardiner is NOT a foodies mecca. If you are a food pack it in. There is a general store there but it's not like having Whole Paychek, I mean whole Foods, Wegman's or other decent grocery chains in the area. We were honestly very sad to leave the area.

Spacious modern home just outside north entrance of Yellowstone. Perfectly located in small town of Gardiner, walking to everything. The view from the patio and dining room window is just incredible over the river where we saw elk, deer, bald eagle, fishing hawk, etc. Warm comfortable base after exploring the park in October which already feels like winter. Very clean, high end furnishings, comfortable beds.
