Yellowstone Historic Vacation Home just three miles from Yellowstone National Park!
The bears are back in town; if you book with us, please be very careful at night!
The Yellowstone Historic Vacation Home was used at the turn of the century as a railroad wayside home for travelers to Yellowstone National Park. Today this historic home still has the same expansive views of the magnificent Electric Peak, the surrounding mountain ranges and rolling pastures, where you'll often see buffalo and antelope grazing. 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 home comes complete with high quality western furniture, a fully supplied kitchen with upscale appliances, beautiful cookware, and all kitchen utensils you might need. All the following items are new: TV, DVD player, washer/dryer, fine linens and towels. Other amenities provided are laundry powder, hand and body soap, shampoo, and conditioner. Just bring your clothes and food!
You'll love the expansive yard with its shade trees, lilac bushes, picnic table, BBQ grill and lawn furniture. Just picture yourself there, as you absorb the peace and quiet of the Rocky Mountains in all of their glory, as you look out on Electric Peak and the surrounding pastures.

Our family of 8 stayed at the house for 4 days. We needed a place where we could be together as a family and still have "space" away from each other. My husband was home from Iraq on his 2 week K-R so we decided to live out a dream of ours and visit Yellowstone. We had a wonderful time in the park and then headed back to the house for dinner. It was great to relax around the table. We loved the Historic Home. It is designed almost like our Historic Home. The kids would love to come back next summer. I guess we will have to see where the wind blows us.

Our family reunion was a big succes largely in part to your wonderful home. Everyone enjoyed the roominess, the big table was great for games and gab fests. I don't see my parents and sisters that often so thsi was a great convenient half way point. We would recomend it to our friends for sure. We will take many good memories from our travels in Yellowstone - the magnificent scenery, awesome wild life and one-of-a kind sights (the old Faithful) Thank you for opening up your home to us. Sincerely, the G. family (Toledo, Ohio)

Our family has greatly enjoyed staying in the Yellowstone Historic Home. It has outdone all our expectations. Our kids had plenty of room to roam and they loved the "kids bunk bedroom. We were surprised to see how quick our acces to the Park was from the house! It has been a great place to come "home" to after a day at the Park. Thank you for sharing such a wonderful home. We will have many memories from here and hope we will be able to return in the future!

Thank you for allowing us to stay in this home. It had all of the convienences of home - with quaint little touches throughout. We saw elk and bunnies in the yard and a beautiful double rainbow over the mountains. Every morning was crisp and clear and every evening was star-filled and quiet. Thanks again! Debra, family of 8 (which slept comfortably with plenty of room for privacy).
