Yard games in the orchard area, a campfire pit, a river beach and a deck overlooking it all create a relaxed place to unwind with friends and family after a big day exploring the park. Plenty of elbow room for all! Kids can run around playing, and adults can sit down and visit. Simple in our accommodations, we focus on providing a cheery, clean, and peaceful spot for you to focus on being together. Eleven private entrance bedrooms, full kitchen, barbecue, games room, and more! Your stay with us allows us to welcome school and university groups and non-profits at a reduced rate during the school year. Thank you for helping us keep Yellowstone accessible.
There are two main buildings on the property. The main lodge offers a fully equipped kitchen, half-bath, and a welcoming central open room with the whole back wall made of glass sliding doors over-looking the river! Use the lodge as a gathering place for meals and fellowship--or push back the tables and do some yoga!
The adjacent building offers 11 bedrooms, each with a private outside entrance. They are finished with slate flooring and wainscot wood on the walls. Rooms vary in their bed numbers: 6 have a queen bed, two have 3 sets of twin bunk beds, 3 are family rooms sleeping 4 (queen and bunk),5 (queen and twin over full bunk), or 6 people (two queens and one bunk). In total there are 24 beds if it is one person per bed, more if guests share a queen. Bathrooms are located outside of bedrooms and are designated two for men, two for women. Each with a private shower and toilet. Property does offer WIFI and ample off street parking! We would love to host your group and to share our Yellowstone with you!

We stayed here 5 nights for a family reunion with 22 people. The 11 bedrooms with a mix of bunk beds and queen beds, the living room, the kitchen, and outdoor spaces fit our needs perfectly. The river access was a plus for our younger children and adults. It reminded me of being at summer camp.

Rustic Getaway

Our family had an absolute blast! It was perfect for all 22 of us. There were bald eagles and elk everywhere. Having the river flow through the property is amazing! We loved entering the park through the North and having Gardiner as home base. Accommodations are rustic and ready for some updates but we had everything we needed and had a fantastic time.

Best location for family reunion

We're all over Montana (as well as Texas and Kansas) so it was an amazing place for our family reunion. It was a great central spot for family from Hamilton, Helena, and Billings to drive and be together. So excited to have lots of things to do for the kids too with the incredible game room. We also ventured into the park and enjoyed the hot springs down the road. All weekend everyone kept commenting on what a perfect spot it was. So grateful for our stay and everything that was provided for us. Thank you so much!

Great but some things to know

We enjoyed our stay. Great location and setup for us. I am not complaining but there were Two things I did not see in other reviews that you may want to know- no dishwasher so take disposable unless you want to do lots of dishes by hand. Foyer is extremely difficult with a wheelchair and path from lodge to sleeping area and bathroom is not wheelchair friendly. Mom can go short distances on walker so it worked for us. We would stay here again as a huge family.

Over-promised and under-delivered. Old property that is in need of repairs and basic upkeep. The property is able to hold 30 people but the kitchen is too small and understocked with respect to dishes, pots and only had a 4 burner stove. Outlets in the kitchen didn’t work. One of the microwaves was broken. Lights burned out in bunk house rooms and outside room doors. This property has such great promise but needs maintenance and upkeep to be outstanding.

Large group family vacation

We booked the Yellowstone lodge and hostel when we were planning a large group vacation but weren’t sure a total head count. We had a total of 27 show up ages 2-70. The lodge was a perfect place for so many families to come together but have their privacy in their own private rooms. I would say the pictures online make the yard look larger than it is but it didn’t seem to be an issue. The kids had a blast exploring. The hot springs right down the road is fantastic. The proximity to the park was great especially being able to pass through town for gas and ice each morning. Pictures online showed an outdoor griddle but there wasn’t one on the property. I’d suggest more fans be brought in as there weren’t enough for every room and even early June it gets warm. The kitchen is FULLY stocked. We will definitely book this for our next Yellowstone trip.

Family Trip to Remember

The property's location exceeded our expectations. It truly sits on the Yellowstone River, providing amazing views of the river (from the lodge and the rooms). Using the maintained path, you can walk down to the sandy shoreline where our kids were able to play and swim, while the adults could fish. The lodge provided a great spot to hang out, share meals, and play games. The rooms and bathrooms were all clean and well furnished for our needs. The only downside to comment on is the absence of A/C (which is consistent with the listing); however, fans were provided in each room. This was a great location for our visit to Yellowstone and allowed us to have a wonderful family vacation.

Great Place For a Wedding

My husband and I booked this lodge to accommodate our family and a couple close friends for our destination wedding. When Liza says this place is fully stocked; she means it! I was worried because I forgot to grab salt and pepper; but this lodge had everything! There was a fully stocked spice cabinet along with every kitchen utensil you could want; cleaning supplies, soap, toiletries, laundry facilities and soaps; we didn't need to bring a thing! The only drawback to this booking is ghat Liza is not very responsive. I had to ask every question at least twice; and Liza only let me know the day of that one of the larger rooms with 4 beds would be unavailable and that the second fridge wasn't working. While the fridge was very inconvenient, we had taken care to have overflow lodging; so it want a major emergency, just a inconvenience that left kind of a sour taste in our mouth. We would happily book again since we now know what we would be walking into; and it was a lovely, rustic place to stay :)

Perfect for our Family Reunion

This place was set up perfectly for our family reunion of 17! The central house to mingle and cook/eat together really is what pulled it together. The outdoor space is just lovely - beautiful views, the beach was a wonderful addition that we took lots of advantage of, and we saw lots of wildlife just from our backyard! We were worried because the entrance to Yellowstone was closed from the flooding that occurred. While we didn't frequent the park, there was still plenty more hiking and outdoor exploring to do in the area with lots of amenities. Definitely would go back here, and Liza was very helpful!

Park County Dormitory, Riverside, mountain views

It was perfect for our large family gathering. The main lodge had plenty of tables to dine indoor OR outdoor together. THe deck was covered w/ a large seating area to eat and enjoy the gorgeous views. There was a nice lawn to play capture the flag and kickball and an easy access to the river, which had an awesome sandy beach thanks to the flooding. The dormitories were perfect...so many rooms, the cousings could bunk together, all were close enough for security of the little ones. We expected outdated and worn out linens and mattresses, but on the contrary, the mattresses were quite comfortable and the linens clean and new. This place was perfect!

AMAZING!

Not one complaint. This property was perfect for our group. Property as described. We had an amazing time! Ten minute drive to town and the north entrance to Yellowstone, five minute drive to the Yellowstone hot springs, games and s’mores by the campfire. The only thing I would do different, is go in warmer months to be able to utilize the river!!

About the host

Hosted by Liza Brumbach

Host profile image
We are an adventurous family that enjoys playing in the mountain, it has long been our dream to share what we love about our Montana with travelers. We love to be outside and in nature and we love to spend time with our dearest friends and family! Our family and friend groups love to gather at North Yellowstone Lodge and now we welcome you to share it with us! Kevin is an avid climber and nurse practitioner in Bozeman and Liza is a mom on the run chasing her kids around, volunteering, and getting outside as much as she can.

Why they chose this property

We welcome you to share this little piece of heaven. In the rush of every day life it always offers a relaxing peace to sit and watch the river flow and to listen to the kids giggle while they run around the yard. It's not five star fancy but it will leave your heart full.

What makes this property unique

When our family and friends gather at the lodge all outside worries seem to disappear. It brings us together as a place to be with one another while sitting amidst endless outside places to explore. Other places offer lodging but ours allows all to find what they need with enough room to play or sit quietly with a book or in conversation with a friend.
