About this property

Mountain King Cabin above the Yellowstone River--Six Blocks to Yellowstone Park

The Mountain King Cabin is an amazing place to call home during your visit to Yellowstone Park. Located in the heart of Gardiner, on the banks of the Yellowstone River, it is just a mile from the north entrance to Yellowstone Park. The house faces south looking into the park highlighting stunning views of 11,000 foot Electric Peak. You can literally look out the windows, or off the deck and see: elk, antelope, deer, and occasionally bears and wolves roaming the hillsides of Yellowstone.

This rustic Montana log cabin is an inviting, airy open space for groups size 6-8 people with a fun loft for the kids! Stay in this beautiful cabin, AND spend a couple days rafting, horseback riding, and viewing wild life inside Yellowstone. With two nearby hot springs to soak in, hiking, and fishing, the outdoor fun is endless. It's easy and all in one place! Located in the heart of Gardiner, take an evening stroll around town shopping or over to grab a bite to eat. Large groups can book our neighboring Yellowstone cabins the Eagles Nest and Grizzly Den.....perfect for multi-family vacations!
We are located about an hour from the Bozeman Airport.

This cabin was perfect for my family of 7. The views from the deck were stunning and was a great way to start the day with coffee or end the day with the sunset. The kitchen was pretty well stocked and we put the grill to good use. If we come back in the area I’d stay here again.

Best stay while visiting Yellowstone

This was the perfect place for the last three nights of our trip. Had room to spread out, the views were amazing, walking to restaurants was so nice. We had a designated parking spot and never had an issue. I’ll be recommending this place to all friends visiting the park. Never a line to get through the gate!

Best cabin of our getaway

Kids loved sleeping upstairs and great porch. Parking was not a problem and laundry had 3 large washers and 3 large dryers available. (They were my top concerns and turned out fantastic.) Kids were everywhere playing hide and seek and it was very clean.

Everything was perfect. Thoughtful touches like bear spray to utilize during our stay, black washcloths for makeup removal, extra blankets, and a fully equipped kitchen and prep table. Beautiful bathroom and the view from the porch was unbeatable. Laundry onsite was super helpful for a family of five with littles.

The location of the property is great and the cabin is super nice. We saw elk and two bears from the back porch overlooking the river. The only drawback I would say is if the rafting company beside you is working it's a bunch of kids and they are super loud. Fortunately they were only there one day.Kitchen window and front door needs blinds. We would definitely stay there again.
