About this property

Yellowstone Riverside Cabin - On the River Next to Yellowstone National Park!

Yellowstone Riverside Cabin is located just 5 miles from the north entrance to Yellowstone National Park and the town of Gardiner, Montana and sits along the banks of the Yellowstone River.
This cozy cabin is wonderful all year round. In the winter enjoy wildlife watching from the warmth of the cabin or drive your own car into Yellowstone National Park and the Lamar Valley. The roads to the cabin are maintained year round with grading and snow plowing.
The cabin's patio, which looks out at the river, has a picnic table, a comfortable love seat, a bench with pad to recline on, and a table top BBQ.
Just walk out your door and fish a Blue Ribbon stream/river. Proper fishing permits are available in town.
Wildlife abounds! Staying at the cabin is like being in the Park but without the crowds. The short drive along the gravel road, Old Yellowstone Trail, is great for viewing wildlife. I drive it with a camera ready to go on the seat beside me.
For the photographers visiting an HD flat screened monitor with IPS is available and photography books.
The cabin is set up with all the modern conveniences, large flat screen TV and Firecube with streaming, Blue ray DVD player, Wi-fi, USB ports, gas and electrical heating.
The kitchen is fully furnished with new dishes, silverware, coffee maker, toaster oven, crock pot, pots and pans, dish towels, mixer, baking pans, utensils, etc.
Washer and Dryer, ironing board and iron, hair drier, lighted vanity mirror w/magnification, USB ports in the walls by the beds and in living room and kitchen.
Many books on nature, etc. to borrow but please leave in the cabin.
I am excited to share my wonderful riverside cabin with you. I have recently purchased this cabin and many new items have been added. It is my hope that you find it meets all your needs and more.

Yellowstone Trip

The cabin was amazing and just what my family needed/wanted. I didn’t realize just how close the park was from Cabin. Perfect location near Gardiner! If we ever return, it will be to this peaceful and beautiful cabin. Thank you for sharing your Yellowstone Cabin with my family. It was a trip of a lifetime.

Amazing view of local wildlife!

We loved the wildlife and proximity to the park. The beds were very comfortable and we all slept well. Super fast communication from the property owner. The only downfall, which is no fault of the owner, is the horrible washboard access road. This would not be a problem for most, but with chronic pain it was very uncomfortable accessing the property.

A dream come true

This property was perfect. Very close to Yellowstone, only a 5 minute drive. Everything was spot on. Very clean cabin and definitely will be back hopefully in the next several years. The owner was very very sweet and she checked on us the next day to see how our stay was.. Great family vacation even if your kids are older... 5 🌟 for sure. Thank you for everything.

Picturesque Stay Near North Yellowstone

We very much enjoyed our 3 night stay in the Yellowstone River Cabin. It is literally right next to the National Park and provided us a great place to stay while seeing all there is to see in North Yellowstone. The kitchen is well equipped and the cabin met my expectations of cleanliness. The owner provides great details in her handy book. She was also helpful with tips in where to eat lunch in Bozeman and to purchase groceries. If we return to North Yellowstone in the future, would definitely stay again.

Wonderful Yellowstone Cabin!

We loved this cabin on the Yellowstone River in Gardiner, Montana. It was a fantastic base to explore Yellowstone and the cute town of Gardiner and our kids LOVED the river in our backyard and swam in it each day. The host was very communicative and check-in and out was a breeze. She had many "extras" in the cabin that we enjoyed, including books about the area, a ball my kids played with in the yard, spices and extras in the kitchen, and more. The bedrooms each had a window a/c unit, which was great because we happened to visit on a day it was nearly 100 degrees outside, but we slept cool and comfortable at night. I would highly recommend this cabin, host, and location to anyone visiting Yellowstone- we loved it.

Friends Retreat

My friends and I had a great time together spending three days at our cabin rental. We would highly recommend this property/vacation rental and hope to visit again for a family vacation/perhaps couples retreat. All the appliances/grill, kitchen, bathroom and bedroom accommodations were fantastic. We especially enjoyed the wildlife viewing from our vehicles and from the livingroom window as Vanya had a spotting scope for us to spy a large hurd of elk bedding down on the hillside across the river. We pleasantly learned that the wintertime is a great time to visit Gardiner. Besides the beauty of the snow covered mountains, we took numerous photos of bighorn sheep, elk, deer and bison just lounging/feeding near the road that leads to the cabin. We saw more wildlife in three days than we see in Glacier in three years. Just spectacular.

WOW!

First, Vanya was terrific with communication, follow up (I left a credit card there and she had it mailed back within a day!), and clarity of directions. If I had a question, it was answered within 24 hrs and was dead on. The cabin is along the Yellowstone River in between 2 bends in the river. It has cabins close alongside, but not intrusive in the least. The River is not as easy to get to as it may appear, but it is not overly challenging. Fishing is challenging due to the nature of the flow right there, but some were caught. The view is tremendous. We enjoyed watching a small elk herd (the herd of 200 was next door in the grass fields) cross the river many mornings and come up to the cabins to get to the adjacent orchard. They were there in some fashion every day. AND you must be aware of your presence since I literally walked into the hind quarters of one feeding on a tree outside the front door as I exited one morning! The house was awake after that.... Watching the osprey in their nest up river, a handful of bald eagles flying up and down the river, a GOLDEN eagle, the elk, coyotes across the way and bighorn on the entry road (bear were in the orchard at night but we missed them), well, it was our dream of a place to stay. All 4 of us enjoyed Yellowstone and Tetons immensely as times before, and some of the back roads (Yellowstone Trail South is beautiful if you stay on it past the bridge) were a nice treat. But coming back to the cabin every day was relaxing and stunning. The full moon rise was tremendous over the hills/river, but it did make for a less spectacular starry sky (smoke from CAL didnt help this). Timing is everything. I cannot overstate the comfort level in our cabin either. Although we spent more time on the porch than the living room, it was homey, well stocked and clean. We loved the bathrooms in each bedroom also! Truly a home away from home environment. And close enough to Gardiner for quick trips to the market! It is hard to overstate the experience there. It is not backcountry but it is wild enough, with a wonderful cabin of comfort in the middle of it all! We were grateful for the opportunity and would come back again without hesitation!

The cabin is very comfortable with great views of the river, although super cold, so no swimming for us. We were glad we were driving our Subaru, as it is 4 miles on a gravel road. The owner was very helpful and responsive, would stay again.

About the host

Hosted by Vanya de Jung

Host profile image
Nature is my passion. I grew up in Eugene, Oregon but spent a year in American Samoa and in my teens a year in Sri Lanka. After college I moved to Honolulu, Hawaii where I currently live. I love the islands, am an avid paddler, but I also love the mainland. In hopes of spending more time on the mainland I started looking for a cabin close to Yellowstone, close to my Uncle and close to fishing. I was very lucky to acquire this cabin from Kaylie and Michael who owned the cabin for many years and shared it with people as a vacation rental when they were not using it. I am excited to do the same. I took possession of the cabin end of November 2017 and spent most of January and part of February making it a comfortable, cozy and fun cabin on the Yellowstone river. I hope it's just about perfect!

Why they chose this property

I chose this spot because I fell in love with Yellowstone in the winter. It's hard to beat YS National Park in the summer but the winter is my favorite. I like to be able to drive into the park on my own in the winter and not have to go with a snow coach. The North entrance allows this. The setting here is absolutely beautiful and this area is not overly commercialized or crowded.
When i was looking for a spot to possibly purchase a little cabin i stumbled across this one and there was no turning back. I had to have it. I became friends with Kaylie and found she was looking for the right person to pass her cabin on to and luckily she decided that was me! So, here I am.
I hope this is an ideal cabin, one with lots of wildlife viewing and removed from crowds but still has access to a small town. A cabin with modern conveniences, especially in this digital age: wi-fi, USB ports, UHD TV with sound bar, UHD Blue-ray DVD, DVDs to borrow. A cozy cabin that's warm in the winter and cool in the summer.
It is my hope to furnish my cabin so that everyone will thoroughly enjoy their stay and hopefully have all their expectations met. It is my goal to have visitors want for nothing.
All that being said, please help take care of the cabin and the furnishings. This is my home, it is very special to me. Please help me keep it in good condition and high standards. I ask that you treat my cabin as you would your own, or as you would a good friend's place. We are trusting each other. I am striving to have many returning guests and/or guests by word of mouth.

What makes this property unique

If you don't mind driving a few miles on a gravel road, it is a county-maintained road but usage can cause some wash-boarding, you'll be greatly rewarded by the surroundings. It's a common occurrence to see elk, deer, pronghorn antelope, bison, bighorn sheep, and more along the drive. Please, when on the gravel road, just keep your speed down to 25 mph or less and as low as 20 mph at night.
There can be dangerous animals on property - Grizzly and black bears, wolves, mountain lions, elk, bison, deer, rattlesnakes, etc. Please maintain clean patio/property at all times. And remember never to approach the wild animals. Keep a safe distance.
Be safe, carry bear spray when hiking/biking.
Mahalo and ENJOY!
