About this property

Amazing Views! Air conditioning! Close to Yellowstone Park's North Entrance!

NEW: Enjoy a soak in the beautiful outdoor tiled geothermal pools at "Yellowstone Hot Springs" near the Corwin Springs bridge, only 4 miles from this home! An amazing setting above the Yellowstone River, with magnificent towering mountain views all around! (See pictures in photo gallery.) Open year-round.

YELLOWSTONE VACATION HOME: This home is only 11 miles from the north entrance of Yellowstone National Park! A new park entrance road is now permanently open, and you can visit all of Yellowstone Park from here. This is the only major park entrance open all year to normal vehicles. If you're looking for beautiful views in the quiet seclusion of pristine Montana surroundings, with access to an abundance of outdoor recreation and relaxation, you will be delighted with your stay at our Yellowstone Vacation Home. (Please note: This home is on a hill, well out of range of any seasonal river flooding. We have our own well with delicious pure water that is tested annually.)

We do recommend you bring a 4WD or AWD vehicle, which is necessary when there has been an extended period of rain, or snow.

You'll love the peace and quiet as you gaze at the mountains and the Yellowstone River while enjoying a meal or relaxing on the wrap-around deck. There you'll have a front row seat to magnificent sunsets over Paradise Valley in the crux of Yankee Jim Canyon, often with spectacular colors. A herd of elk can often be seen in the field below, grazing in the morning and evening (see picture). This home is ideal for wildlife enthusiasts. Bring binoculars or a scope to enhance the experience.

This 1200 sq. ft. 3 bedroom/1 bathroom cedar home sits on a one acre property that is fully fenced and gated, and has a nicely maintained lawn. Wildlife photographers, this place is for you! You are likely to see mule deer, elk, antelope, bald eagles, big horn sheep, rabbits and many bird species! You might also see an occasional group of rafters floating the river below. We have a fire pit in the yard where you can cook s'mores and enjoy family time (firewood provided.) Challenge each other to a friendly game of horseshoes on the lawn. (Horseshoe pits are set at a distance for families to enjoy.)

There are many fun things to do in the area year round. Fishing, hiking, mountain biking, horseback riding and river rafting trips are available nearby. Walking or biking on the quiet gravel access road to this home is a scenic adventure in itself.

The three bedrooms sleep 6 to 8 people, with one queen-size bed, 2 twin beds, a bunk bed, and 2 fold-up foam pads. Features include high-speed WiFi via Starlink, central forced air heating and air conditioning throughout, a wood burning fireplace, washer/dryer, flat screen TV with DVDs and Dish satellite TV, plus a CD player. There are a variety of games, DVDs and CDs for your use. We also have a library of interesting books about local area attractions, children's books and novels.
A cozy cabin feeling is engendered by the original fir woodwork on most walls and ceilings. The spacious downstairs bathroom features two sinks and a shower-tub. The kitchen is fully equipped, including a glass top range, dish washer, microwave, large refrigerator and a gas grill provided on the deck. This home is well supplied - we provide linens, towels, a hair dryer, all paper goods, and various soaps, trash can liners, etc. The comfort of our guests is important to us!

Please note: the bathroom is located downstairs and the three bedrooms are located on the second floor. See photo of stairs.

Please note: We recommend that you book raft trips, horseback riding, guided fishing trips, guided mountain biking, and other activities well in advance, with the local providers in Gardiner and Paradise Valley.

Hunters are also welcome at Yellowstone Vacation Home. This area of Montana, just north of Yellowstone Park, receives hundreds of elk migrating out of Yellowstone Park each winter. There is also a year-round resident herd of elk in the mountains just above the cabin, and mule deer are abundant in the area. Hunting, in-season, is open to the public on all of the vast U.S. Forest Service lands that surround the cabin for miles. You can literally just walk out the gate and hunt in the surrounding Forest Service lands. (License required.)

Please note: we have installed a ring camera on the outside wall by the front door so we can monitor the weather, and for security purposes. It is the only one on the entire property.

If you're looking for wildlife sightings close to the cabin and beautiful views in the quiet seclusion of pristine Montana surroundings, with easy access to the attractions of Yellowstone Park, and the fishing and white water rafting opportunities of Yellowstone River, you will be delighted with your stay at our Yellowstone Vacation Home!

Stocked Cabin But Treacherous Road & Steps
The owners are amazing and responsive, and have this cabin well stocked! It has a beautiful view and is quite secluded. If you book this be prepared to drive about 15 minutes on a narrow, quite bumpy road leading to the cabin. There are many blind corners and is quite dangerous, especially after a rain and when approaching other vehicles around these blind corners. If you rarely want to leave the cabin, this fact is not a huge issue. For those of us who do leave and return, you must add an extra half hour for each trip going on this dangerous road. Also, the steps to the second floor are quite steep and twisted and one has to be extremely careful, holding the rail every time going to the bedrooms. I feel these two details should have been added into the description. Otherwise it was a great experience!

Lovely
We had a great stay! The views from the house were outstanding and it was just far enough off the beaten path. The location was peaceful. The house was very clean and equipped with everything you could want or need. Our dog loved exploring the yard. Wildlife was plentiful. We saw more elk and antelope from the house than we did in the Park. Communication with the homeowners was excellent. Would definitely stay here again in the future!

It is great for both relaxing at the house or as a base for exploring Yellowstone and the surrounding area! We are always so sad when it’s time to go home!

Perfect homebase for exploring Yellowstone
We spent the week exploring Yellowstone and were grateful for the authentic Montana experience this home provided! It was clean, clearly well-cared for, and provided a quiet, peaceful homebase for our evenings and early mornings. We especially loved hearing coyote and great horned owls at night, and the proximity to the Yellowstone Hot Springs (we got a 12 pack of passes so our family of three could visit four times over the course of the week). The owners were very easy to communicate with, responsive to all of our questions in advance and while we were at the property. We couldn't have asked for a better, more magical experience - five stars, highly recommend!

Wow was the word when we arrived
Perfect Mountain retreat, with privacy and nature surrounding the house. The fenced yard was perfect for letting our dog roam safely while we sat on the deck and enjoyed the view. The home was sparkling clean, and was well equipped with everything we needed. There was a nice grocery store in nearby Gardiner. Each day we would head out to the close by Yellowstone North Entrance and see something new. Then go back to chill and fix dinner. This house provided two things that the Park accommodations don’t provide which are AC and Internet.

Yellowstone trip
If you like peace and quiet this is the place for you. The home was located in the mountains outside the north entrance to Yellowstone. Make sure you have a SUV because the road is rough going in (although surveyors were seen and we were told the town was going to do something about the road in the future. There are beautiful sunsets from the back deck and gorgeous stars at night. The kitchen is stocked with more spices and condiments than any other Vrbo and the home was extremely clean!!!! The washer and dryer are a plus. Wish we would have seen more wild life at the home but we saw plenty in the park. Make sure you drive the Bear Tooth Hwy. It is outstanding! Thanks for sharing your home. Kam and Ron Chattanooga Tn

Fantastic Getaway
This place is a fantastic getaway which is not too far from the north entrance of Yellowstone NP.... approx 20 min. The location is secluded with a great view of the valley, mountains, and the Yellowstone River. An elk herd visits the hills every evening and antelope were even spotted one morning. The trout fishing is great with several spots to access the river nearby. Keep in mind that this location is a little challenging to get to, best by truck or SUV as the terrain is mountainous. The house is well stocked, the wifi speed was great. It was clean and more than adequate for our family of 5. The kitchen was great for keeping our clan fed, allowing us to avoid paying the high prices at the local eateries. (High priced and mediocre food). The laundry facilities were helpful, but the stairs leading to the bedrooms are steep and may not be ideal for someone older or with disabilities though. In the end, we thought this was a perfect location for exploring the park and getting some much needed R&R.

A Little Slice of Heaven
This home is amazing! The pictures cannot capture the majesty of the views which surround the property. You absolutely get the feeling of being alone with nature in beautiful Montana when you stay here. Wildlife is everywhere and different every day. We hoped we would never have to leave and are already planning our next trip back. The home is located about ~20 minutes from the northwest Yellowstone entrance in Gardiner, Montana. There are groceries and gas stations nearby in Gardiner and more stores available in nearby Livingston. The house is fully stocked with everything a guest could ask for including fire wood, kitchen utensils + appliances, grill + propane, flashlights, spices, coffee grinder... you name it. The bedrooms are perfectly comfortable and cozy. Recommend 4x4 vehicle for getting to and from the house on old yellowstone road. The weather is unpredictable at times and road conditions can change quickly. There is so much to do and see in this area and having this cozy cabin with its own spectacular views helped make this our best vacation ever! Thank you so much for letting us stay at your home.

We were looking for a quiet, away from it all, but not TOO far place for our family to stay for a week…and this was it! I’m talking, last house on a long winding mountain road, with incredible views, kind of quiet. The kitchen was stocked with all the tools and spices we needed to cook meals.

Amazing location and views! The drive in was not nearly as bad as I expected. It is a very well maintained dirt road. The cabin was clean and a perfect size for 5 of us. Thankfully, there were step stools as the cabinets and cupboards are all VERY high. We joked that it was made for giants. :) I can't say enough how much we enjoyed the views from the deck. We will definitely stay again.

A Breath of Fresh Air
We absolutely LOVED our stay at this home. The views are stunning. We enjoyed watching elk cross the property in the morning and saw herds of big horned sheep. The location was perfect for a remote, relaxing stay but close enough to the town of Gardiner and the Old Saloon in Emigrant to go out for a meal. It's also down the road from hot springs! The yard was the best part! Our dogs absolutely loved the fully fenced yard. We would definitely stay here again!

About the host

Hosted by Magdalena and Bruce Beall (Yellowstone Vacation Rental Homes, LLC)

Host profile image
My husband and I love this property because of its unique location in the middle of national forest, looking out over Paradise Valley and Yellowstone River. We lived here ourselves for 9 years and we love the pristine beauty of the Rocky Mountain wilderness.

Why they chose this property

It wasn't until we moved out in 2000 that we decided to turn this home into a vacation rental home. We wanted to share this location here with you all because of the absolute beauty of the surrounding area and the breathtaking views. The sun sets in the crux of Yankee Jim Canyon, directly in front of the deck, often with glorious colors!. As you sit on the deck you'll just feel the peace and quiet permeate you as you unwind and relax ...

What makes this property unique

Wildlife can be spotted regularly, especially in the meadows of Paradise Valley that can be seen from the wrap-around deck. And of course the close proximity to Yellowstone Park is another great attraction with all of its rivers, canyons, and unique thermal features, as well as its abundant wildlife. But our favorite activity is to soak in the natural hot springs in the Gardner River close to the 45th parallel in the Park. Rafting on the Yellowstone River and horseback riding can also be enjoyed close by. Fishing can be done 200 yards from the home in the Yellowstone River - just walk down the hill and there you are! We hope you will enjoy staying here as much as we do! Bruce and Magdalena Beall
