Map & Owner's Profile
Artfully Furnished Cabin with Great Views Close to Yellowstone
Year Purchased: 2007
Why the Owner Chose Gardiner
Yellowstone Country is truly the "last best place." This remote area has more wildlife residents than human ones and learning about these critters and the land they share with us is an exciting journey few people take. It's gratifying to share our place with folks and see the wonderment in their eyes after they get up close and personal with wolves and bears or sit in a natural outdoor thermal pool in Yellowstone - there's nothing like it!
The Unique Benefits at this Cabin
Sunrise lights up Yellowstone's Electric Peak. Coyotes howl, elk and bighorns wander the field while an eagle glides along the river looking for a breakfast trout. Sphinx Mountain lies majestically above us and the sunset illuminates the Yellowstone River flowing through Yankee Jim Canyon. Darkness falls and the Montana sky lights up with a billion stars. As you close you eyes wolves sing you to sleep ~ goodnight! Come share the magic, the wildlife, the land - we have your home full of books, maps, info & more to make your stay one to remember! The Graff's
A corridor for Native Americans - for 12,000 years this canyon offers hiking, fishing and exploring equal to Yellowstone without the crowds. Great place to find artifacts and explore old mines.
White water rafting is great here, as well as good trout fishing. There's a great beach and swimming hole. Across the Yellowstone River is a panoramic view of Electric Peak in Yellowstone.
Here you'll find white water rafting access to the canyon which is over 40 feet deep. During spring run-off it holds Class 5 rapids.
Turn left onto HWY 89 from the driveway, go approximately 2 1/2 miles to the Corwin Springs Bridge. This takes you to the Old Yellowstone Trail which was the original road to Yellowstone.
1/2 mile north of our cabin is the historic OTO Ranch. Park and enjoy a great hike. The OTO is Montana's first dude ranch and it is rich in history and landscape - worth the hike ~ take the bear spray
LeDuke Hot Springs flows out of the hills, under HWY 89 and into the Yellowstone - locals enjoy a soak here. It's across from the landmark Devil's Slide and has a beautiful vista of Electric Peak!
Cross the Corwin Springs Bridge, head up Cinnabar Basin and there lies historic Aldridge. Wonderful day hike and the 100 year old coke ovens can be seen from the highway.
Located atop Tom Miner is the Petrified Forest and pristine Montana wilderness, great for wildlife viewing - our favorite place! Map/directions are in roll top desk in the cabin.
Owner's Map of Gardiner
For 20 years John, our son Brady and I traveled from the Florida Keys to camp, hike, fish and explore Yellowstone Country. In 1998 we found the perfect spot and the three of us built our dream home and retreat. 12 years later we find Yellowstone as fascinating as it was on our first trip. We're still exploring this beautiful region finding new wilderness camping spots, blue ribbon lakes and streams and the magnificent wildlife of Yellowstone Country!

Perfect cabin for a Christmas holiday - we didn't want to leave!
Guest: Laurie and Family
(Montana)
Date of Stay: 12/22/11
Review Submitted: 01/06/12
We thought that the cabin was perfect and the first day my eight year old kept running around saying how cool everything was and asking if we could live there forever because it was his dream home. My eleven year old and my sixteen year old also thought the cabin was incredible. We stayed there with my parents and my three kids. It was the perfect place to spend the Christmas holiday and the heated floors made everyone feel so cozy. The stained glass is just as beautiful as all of the reviews we had read. Yellowstone in winter was amazing and unique and we skied to Tower Falls and the upper loop at Mammoth. We also took a snow coach into Old Faithful which was really fun for everyone and got some amazing pictures of buffalo and elk. On the ski we even saw a badger! Being able to come home and have enough space for all seven of us and cook a great meal (we cooked a huge turkey dinner for Christmas) was priceless. We met John (the owner) and he was very nice. Our doggies enjoyed it as well and they were nice enough to let us bring more than one pup. Our only compliant was that we could not stay longer. Nobody wanted to go home and we thought that a week and a half would have been better than a week!
Owner response:We are so happy you and your family enjoyed your Christmas here at the cabin - it was a pleasure to have you. Thank you for the delicious molasses candy, it was such a wonderful treat! Hope you can come back soon and your beautiful dogs are more than welcome. El & John

Amazing house with beautiful stained glass on the walls - great hospitality!

August 23-26, 2011 Thank you for letting us stay here in your amazing house. Even though we have stayed here for a short time, I wish that I had come here earlier and we will come here in the future. The house is very beautiful, from the objects hanging on the walls to the stained glass windows, but I feel the best part of this is your hospitality including your dog Sage. All in all spending these four days in "the barn" has been superb and I hope more people will experience this. ~ Thank you so much for letting us stay in the house. It is very beautiful and the view is amazing too. Great time in Yellowstone - love the large herds of buffalo and I had a great time horseback riding. ~

What a wonderful time. So much to see but so little time. The space you provided after a day of hiking/sight seeing and bear watching was immensely relaxing and perfect for the 6 of us. The kids enjoyed the space and we really loved the back den for a few more minutes of sleep.

August 3-13, 2011 We had a great stay!!! Yellowstone was wonderful! We saw so many things we've never seen before. The animals were spectacular and the scenery was amazing. We did long hikes like the Beaver Ponds and Sheepeater Cliffs and picnicked on the hills watching the wild animals. It was so much fun! Our stay at the cabin was great. It was comfortable, clean and had an amazing view! I love the cabin and hope we can come back and stay again. It was a wonderful 10 days - also the stained glass is beautiful. Thanks ~ Dear El & John, Thanks so much for the use of this lovely cabin. We completely enjoyed our stay. We are returning the bear spray - thankfully unused! Again, our sincere thanks - we hope to return again!

Beautiful location with views of elk across the river in the morning

August 2, 2011 ~ Our last day in Yellowstone and this beautiful home. We have enjoyed our week here tremendously. It was so nice to come back to this beautiful location at the end of a day of sightseeing. Watching the elk across the river in the morning, hearing the coyotes howl at night, watching thunderstorms roll in over the mountains...all of it was just spectacular. We drove the Beartooth Highway one day for killer scenery. Unfortunately, no bear sightings ... maybe today! Thank you so much for the hospitality. We really enjoyed our stay and hope to return again in the future.

This property was even prettier in person! The photo's made us rent it, seeing it in person made us love it! The views are even more breathtaking in person. The property was spotless and had everything a guest could want. The owner was so helpful. We had a unique proplem when we arrived (not related to the property) and he helped us come up with a great solution! Because of him, we were able to enjoy our vacation without worries! I would highly recommend this property to anyone. In fact, I already have! If you visit Gardiner, don't miss this house and rafting on the Yellowstone River!

Beautiful house with amazing stained glass artwork
Guest: Alisa and Family

Date of Stay: 07/16/11
Review Submitted: 07/24/11
What a beautiful house - your stained glass artwork is amazing! We had a great time, very busy sightseeing in Yellowstone and a day trip to Jackson Hole and the Grand Tetons - well worth the drive. We took the tram up to the top of Rendezvous Mountain and had a snowball fight in our flip flops! Horseback riding and whitewater rafting were also great adventures! We saw most of the wild animals but no wolves or bears - but they say always leave something to come back for! We also did four puzzles - three we brought from home and your eagle puzzle. Thanks for your hospitality! God bless~ PS: We recommend Yellowstone Raft Company - a great, friendly, skilled guide Alex (also from Wisconsin) for whitewater rafting. Also recommend ABO for horseback Riding - the Saddle and Paddle package worked out great for us.

Dear El and John, Our stay was fabulous! Montana is beautiful and so is your home - all the stained glass art is so pretty. We had lots of adventures in Yellowstone like hiking up a hill to see Grand Prismatic Springs in full glory, watching Old Faithful and seeing all the pools and geysers around it. We saw a cinnamon bear and a black bear running around but thankfully we weren't eaten by them. Lots of elk and buffalo too but no moose. Thank you for letting us stay at your wonderful home. PS: We finished the eagle puzzle.
