My husband and I stayed here at this duplex for a week this summer while visiting Yellowstone, after having spent one night at the hotel in the park. What a difference! We arrived during a heat wave, and after the stuffy crowded hotel we were delighted to find this spacious quiet cool location! There is AC, but we never had to use it: because the nights are so cool, we opened the windows at night and then closed them up in the morning, and were very comfortable all day. Gardiner is just a very short distance (1/2 mile) from the north entrance to Yellowstone at Mammoth, and we found that it was very convenient to load up the car and head into the park for daily excursions in one direction or another (bring your mosquito repellant). Gardiner has lots of little restaurants and gift shops and a grocery store and gas station. Groceries are expensive and there is not much selection, so stock up in a larger town on the way in. The apartment has everything else you need, well equipped kitchen, reliable wifi. Huge deck with table and chairs and BBQ, view out over the river, you can watch the rafters go past, and see elk grazing in the field on the other bank. Very quiet for being right in town. You won't be disappointed!

NICE CHANGE FROM STAYING IN THE PARK

This was our 6th trip to Yellowstone, and we have always stayed inside the park in the either the motels or cabins. Although the cabins are kind of a fun place to stay, the charm has worn off with us (no closets or dressers so you have to live out of your suitcase, no air conditioning, tiny bathrooms, hard beds), and the food in the park has consistently gone down hill and has gotten expensive. So we decided to stay at Park Riverside condo for our 8 night visit in June this year. Cost wise, the condo was only $84 more than if we stayed in a cabin in Mammoth. What a great decision that was! The condo was (as others have said ) very clean and spacious. All the comforts and necessities you might need, right down to camp chairs that you can throw in the back of your car and use for "wolf viewing" in Yellowstone. We loved the fact that there was a washer and dryer. We only had to pack half as many clothes as we usually do ( my husband was thankful for that, since he has to lug all the suitcases) because we knew we could do laundry if we needed to. The condo is right in town, just a short distance from the local grocery store, so you can shop for food and save $$ on going out to eat for breakfast and dinner every day. We packed lunches every day for the park . This is a good cost saver for those with children especially. There is a gas grill on the deck for grilling. The bedrooms were spacious and lots of closet space, and the bed was comfortable. We had all the comforts of home. The only trouble we had was with the air/heating system. Was a little confusing - didn't seem to want to work properly, but there was a backup system. We would definitely stay here again. If fact, we are hoping the that the next time we may be able to stay for several weeks!

We were there on Memorial day weekend. All 4 of us were in love with this place. It's spacious and exactly like the photos on the webpage. It was very very clean and had everything we needed, just like home! The heated tile floor in the bathroom is a plus. The big and fully equipped kitchen was great for us to make breakfast and pack our lunch to Yellowstone. This place is just a minute from a gas station and a grocery store. Also it's just a few minutes to the YNP north entrance. We would definitely stay there again whenever we visit Yellowstone. I recommend this place to anyone!

We (two couples) stayed at Parks Riverside. It was the perfect Yellowstone lodging--extremely clean, roomy and nice. We enjoyed watching a young fawn nibble on foliage in the back yard late one afternoon. Only a quarter mile from the north entrance to Yellowstone, this charming little town was a great place to stay. We thought having only one bathroom might be a problem, but it was fine. It would have been nice to have a mirror in the other bedroom.

What a great place to stay for a visit to Yellowstone. The accomidations were outstanding. Very clean, neat, well furnished with all the comforts of home. Views of the Yellowstone River, elk and mule deer from the deck added to the adventure. This is the place to stay if you plan to visit the Park. Walk around and enjoy Gardiner. Breakfast at the "Two Bit Saloon" is a must. We are planning a return trip in the spring.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Parks Riverside in July, 2010. The apartment is spacious, clean, well-appointed, and the location is perfect for exploring Yellowstone.

Comfy, convenient and quiet. This apartment was a great place to have breakfast, dinner and spend a night after a great day in Yellowstone. Good location in town. We'd stay here again!

I found the apartment very clean and just as described in the listing. The apartments are quite large with a huge deck on the back. They were very nice to come back to after a day in Yellowstone. I would recomend them to anyone.

We are both contractors and were looking for someplace different than a hotel in Gardiner and Yellowstone for a work related trip. This place was signficantly nicer than any hotel that we have stayed at in Gardiner for about the same price. It was very clean and completely remodeled. Kitchen was completely furnished. If you are not inside, you are outside on the great deck which views the Park and Yellowstone/Gardiner rivers. Great location in town within walking distance to everything. We have stayed at many hotels and VRBO's and this is one that we definitely hope to come back to.

The owners should be proud of their condo. It is very clean and looks like it was recently updated. It is just a short drive to the north entrance. The owners are locals and are very helpful with tips, directions, etc. I would strongly recommend this condo to everyone.
