Map & Owner's Profile
Yellowstone at Your Front Door - the Cabin at Laurel Springs
Year Purchased: 2005
Why the Owner Chose Gardiner
The cabin provides us with an opportunity to share with our children the magic that is Yellowstone National Park and the quiet that comes with watching the deer rest 10 feet from the front door. We are only 4 minutes from the entrance of Yellowstone National Park and one and a half hours from an international airport. The cabin was built at the turn of the century and after we bought the cabin, we gutted the inside, kept the charm but added quality amenities a modern family requires. It was a fun family project.
The Unique Benefits at this Cabin
The cabin sits a quarter mile up the mountain from the Yellowstone river. There is a 360 degree view of the valley, most of which is either National Park or National Forest Land. The cabin is the only rental on the property and I keep the 11 acres natural so animals travel through the yard both in the summer and winter. The cabin is fortunate to suffer no light pollution and I can boast the best night sky gazing you will experience. You will find yourself spending evenings at the fire pit roasting marshmallows and staring at the stars.
Owner's Map of Gardiner
My husband and I grew up in Montana. Both our childhoods were filled with fishing, hiking, skiing, camping, horseback riding, and hunting. Our work has taken us around the world but we feel most at home in Montana, Big Sky Country. We currently live in Tucson, AZ and travel to our cabin 2-3 times a year.

We rented this cabin for 4 adults and 2 children and had a wonderful stay! We loved the drive home from Yellowstone NP each evening watching the mountains and the river and we loved the view of the stars each night. Our 3-year old loved making small "boats" to sail down the little spring creek out front. The house was well stocked with dishes, small appliances, linens and towels. We would have liked to have screens in the living room and front kitchen windows to cut down on bugs coming into the house, but that wasn't a huge deal. We had a large herd of elk and mountain goats that kept visiting the area and got some amazing photos. The nearby town of Gardiner was also a great part of our visit. We had some wonderful dinners out and the locals were very friendly whenever we stopped off to shop at the grocery store. We have future plans to rent this cabin again!

Perfect cabin for Yellowstone adventures

Nice clean, roomy cabin. Having washer and dryer was a huge plus for us. Having no TV, internet or cell service was an even bigger plus!! Had a chance to really have some "down" time and reconnect with our teenage son before he headed back to college. Closest you can get to northern Yellowstone without staying inside the park. We headed to Lamar Valley and Hayden Valley every morning early to view the phenomenal wildlife (bears, wolves, elk, coyote, etc) and stayed until late at night so did little cooking at the cabin and saw very little wildlife around it. But the kitchen is well stocked with pots, dishes, etc. Look for the "hidden" wildlife in Yellowstone before 8:30am, then use the rest of the day for sights like Mammoth and Old Faithful, then at dusk back to wildlife viewing in the valleys. The park is huge, so an hour drive to something is not unusual. The cabin was a wonderful place to come back to every evening after a looonnggg day of wildlife viewing. Thanks so much, Kersten!!!

My family and friends rented this cabin for a short vacation to Yellowstone. The cabin was very convenient to the park as well as to Chico Hot Springs. We were able to easily get up early go to Yellowstone, come home quickly and cook meals before my little one would be overtired! We also enjoyed the serene setting and friendly people in Gardiner.

The cabin is in a quiet, peaceful location. It was clean with an adequately equipped kitchen and comfortable beds with high quality linens. The bathrooms had lots of oversized, fluffy towels. This is a good location to explore the Mammoth/Tower/Norris areas of Yellowstone as well as the Paradise Valley. We would definitely choose the Cabin at Laurel Springs again!

This is the second time we have stayed in this wonderful cabin. We will most definitely return. Wonderful place to wind down after a day in the park. Quiet, beautiful, and so convenient to everything we did. The reservation process was very easy and quick - it was very hard to leave this beautiful place. Next time we will stay longer! Thanks Kirsten for sharing with us. We have recommended this cabin to our son and many friends.

Just as described! A wonderful location right next to the park and right outside town. The cabin itself is well kept and makes you feel right at home. Excellent and prompt communication from the owner!

We stayed here late July 2009. Super clean and happy, great location -- just beyond the north edge (Roosevelt entrance) of Yellowstone. Short trip into Gardiner for essentials. Nice way to take in the park; we also stayed in the park overnight but kept the cabin as a backup. No negatives at all. -- Kansas traveler
