PARK PLACE is a tranquil spot for those looking for 'a home away from home' while in Yellowstone Park. We offer a comfortable place with excellent location right on the Yellowstone River bank. Here you can rest after your daily adventures in our National Park and forests.
Our home has the feel of a cabin in the mountains but with all the comforts of the city. We are located within walking distance from downtown Gardiner. The main bedroom is located upstairs with a balcony that opens to beautiful views of the mountains and right on the Yellowstone River. You will love the sound of the river or relaxing here after a day of hiking or exploring the Yellowstone wonders.
Those who love fly fishing will have a chance to do it in our Blue-Ribbon Trout fishing access to Yellowstone River. We have been told some of the best fishing spots are directly bellow our place. We can also arrange guided fishing tours with one of the best anglers in town.
Just outside your front door you might encounter visitors such as Elk, Deer, Bison or even spot a Bear swimming in the Yellowstone River. Bald Eagles and Ospreys can be seen also. We are sure you will love staying with us as much as we enjoy living here.

This was a charming home base for our visit to Yellowstone. Fully equipped, exceptionally clean, great location, Park Place has it all. The "extras" provided by the owner, Bill, included everything from flashlights, an ice chest, binoculars, oodles of DVDs/books for off-sight seeing times and an info packet that included menus from the local restaurants. We were especially appreciative of the "bear spray" Bill loaned us which allowed my husband and me and our 9 year old grandson to hike with a little more comfort! Stay here and you won't be disappointed!Recommended for: Age 55+, families with teenagers, adventure seekers, families with young children, girls getaway, sightseeing.

We spent a week here as our base for exploring and fishing in Yellowstone. Got a tip from Clay to use Parks Fly Shop for a guided trip with Ben...with great success. The home was clean, plenty roomy for us, had what we needed and quiet location for a fine vacation. People were very friendly in Gardiner, too. Would recommend this home to others visiting Yellowstone. Liked Rosie's & Lighthouse for dinners...Two Bit Saloon was fun for dinner (Monday Night Football), and bfst.Recommended for: Age 55+, sightseeing.

Very nice, the description in the ad was right on. No unpleasant surprises, the town of Gardiner is quite charming with friendly people and lots of great choices for meals. We brought our own linens and towels based on an email tip from HomeAway, but we did not need them.Owner response: Thank you for your nice review. We hope you will consider staying with us again in the future. Regards, Clay

Park Place or "The Castle" was a wonderful choice. The description on VRBO was just as it is. It is delightfully decorated in a Yellowstone theme and the amenities were just as described. Bill, the owner, and Clay, the property manager, were extremely helpfull if we had a question or a concern. We enjoyed the fact that it was so close to everything in town and yet it was quiet and peaceful. You can walk to everything. We really enjoyed The Iron Horse and The Two Bit Saloon. The food was fabulous and the service was always good and very friendly. It is a wonderful place to stay and enjoy all the beauty that Yellowstone has to offer. Not only would we recommend this property to our friends we would definitely stay there again. Falling asleep to the sound of the Yellowstone River rushing by was the perfect end to every day.Recommended for: Age 55+, families with teenagers, adventure seekers, romantic getaway, tourists without a car, girls getaway, sightseeing.

Yellowstone is a unique and amazing place. It does require a great deal of driving, often on narrow roads with little to no shoulder, steep grades, some non-guard railed road fall offs and big on-coming traffic (40' RVs) So the days are filled with the marvel of the park and some serious concentration on driving. It was a treat to come back to this retreat. A private porch facing north out of the sun, the lulling rush of the Yellowstone River, a BBQ, and a comfortable interior. The owner has thoughtfully added many sundries to make the stay amenable without rushing off to the grocery store. We throughly enjoyed our stay and would hardily recommend it to others.Recommended for: Age 55+, adventure seekers.

Manager info
Year Purchased: 1980
About: In 1978, I was on my way to Alaska to work on the pipelines and happened to stop in Gardiner to explore the famous Yellowstone National Park. I was so taken by the beauty of Montana that I have never left. Instead of Alaska, I was hired by the National Park Service. I retired in 1984 and started working on turning my property into a place where friends and family could also come to experience the wonders of Yellowstone Park. And that includes you!
Why Gardiner:
Park Place used to be a hotel for hunters in Gardiner called 'The Cottage Inn'. I bought it in 1980 because I saw the potential of turning the place into something that incorporated the Pioneer spirit of the West with the all the comforts of a city.
I found a diamond in the rough and have worked since then to polish it into a unique home.
The Unique Benefits at this Castle:
Park Place sits uniquely just downstream from the convergence of the Gardiner and the Yellowstone Rivers. It sits beneath Eletric Peak, surrounded by majestic mountains ' where the deer and the antelope play'. Big Sky Montana where the skies are not cloudy all day.
When you come you will understand why I never left, and just like me will have an overdose of Yellowstone Park's Grandeur and be hooked for life.
