This three story home has recently been renovated and features comfortable rustic furnishings with that Montana flair. It is open year round with easy access to Yellowstone Park, with its world famous geysers, bubbling paint pots, pastel painted canyon walls, which can be enjoyed at the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone and its famous Artist Point, the Boiling River Hot Springs close to Gardiner, and abundant wildlife including bears, wolves, coyotes, deer, elk, pronghorns, mountain goats, big horn sheep, eagles, etc.

The house is Lovely, Huge and Clean

The house is lovely, huge and clean. The location is spectacular, with local wildlife and views of both Electric Peak and Sepulchre Mountain. Thanks so much!
Owner response:East of Electric Peak, across the deeply cut valley of Reese Creek, lies Sepulchre Mountain, so called from a mass of breccia on one of its high northwest spurs, which resembles a sarcophagus. The mountain rises to a height of 9,600 feet, and stands isolated from the surrounding peaks, from which it is separated by geological faults and also by deep drainage channels. It is composed of volcanic breccias and massive lavas that form a body of rock 3,000 feet thick, resting on Cretaceous and older strata. The southern and southwestern slopes of the mountain are rounded from the action of the ice which has passed over the mountain from the Gallatin range. They are mostly covered with grass and sage brush, and present comparatively few rock exposures. This is also the character of the hills and ridges southwest of the mountain, which lie east of the fault at the base of Electric Peak, and form part of the geological body of Sepulchre Mountain.

"We have returned to the Historic Home after our first stay of July 2009. Once again, we felt at peace at this beautiful home. We felt very blessed and fortunate to be able to spend with some of our children and grandchildren and to make this 4th of July a very special one. Thank you for letting us share this lovely place that we care for so much!"

A lovely place and so close to the Park. The amenities were wonderful, so comfortable and an-at- home feeling. We had a very happy time here, and thank you so much for your hospitality. If we ever are so fortunate, we will stay here again. We found everything and more than we needed for a comfortable stay. P.S The Park is gorgeous too as are the grounds surrounding your house"

"Our family of six have been truly blessed to have been given the opportunity to stay at this wonderful home. We all enjoyed our time here immensely, and, if we should ever be lucky enough to return to this area, we would not hesitate to stat here again. The house has a charm and character all its own. The kids loved the pronghorn that lives down the road. He was always there to greet us on our way to and from the Park. The kids even named him and looked for him every time. We saw tons of animals in the Park. Hundreds of buffalo, a lot of elk and deer, several grizzlies and black bears, and even a wolf! Thank you for being part of our vacation!"

We had a great stay here! It's a nice house and a great area. The bunnies were very cute! The house has so many exciting features + was really fun to explore. The beds were comfortable + and made for a good night's sleep. The everyday items kept here made our stay most enjoyable. The kids loved the bunk bed. The movie selection was nice for an after dinner activity at the end of a long day in Yellowstone National Park. The books and pamphlets about Yellowstone were very helpful and fun to look at. Overall, we had a wonderful experience! THANKS A MILLION

I had my bridal shower at this home, and it was the perfect place! There was plenty of room for around 30 guests, but it still retained a homy feeling as well as a sense of class and refinement. The house is beautiful, and everyone really enjoyed themselves. Thank you for such lovely accommodations and happy memories!

Wedding Chaos

Review Submitted: 09/27/11
My daughter who lives in the Paradise Valley and works in Yellowstone recently got married in Mammoth YNP. We live in Denver so we needed a place where several of our family could stay and have room to finish up last minute wedding details. Eight of my family members trekked to the house with many boxes in tow. We had plenty of room - the table was perfect for gathering to eat dinner, finishing the gift boxes and putting together the programs. There were also plenty of bathrooms for everyone to get ready the day of the wedding. I absolutely recommend staying at this house if you have the opportunity. It was large, very clean, comfortable and only a few miles outside of Gardiner. It would be a great house to have a family reunion at because there was plenty of outside space for gathering or playing games or sitting around just visiting. Thank you so much for creating this oasis for people to stay in and feel at home in. We will definitely stay again if the opportunity arises.

The listing description and pictures are very accurate. The property inside and out is clean, well maintained and comfortable. Great views! Shade trees. I saw buffalo, prong horn sheep, deer and elk. I would certainly recommend this home to my family and friends. Very close to Yellowstone Park and Gardiner. White water rafting and site seeing were lots of fun.

A beautiful place to stay for our family clan from Nebraska! Thanks for a special place to stay-our scenic "Yellows House" was a great place to hang out from all our trips back and fort from Yellowstone. We even learned a little bit of history of the area while staying here! God's blessings to you and all you stay here! Thanks!
