About this property

Unique Rustic Log House in Jardine, Montana

Enjoy the relaxing and fun atmosphere of this one of a kind log house. It is tucked in the mountains at the “end of the road” in the old mining town of Jardine, Montana, which is 6 miles northeast of Gardiner – the north entrance to Yellowstone Park. This place offers a nice balance between seclusion and easy access to endless sightseeing, wildlife viewing, and outdoor recreation opportunities.

The North Fork of Bear Creek is only about 100 yards below. It is a beautiful mountain stream and the fishing is good! Nights are quiet and peaceful. And the night sky is brilliant – take time to gaze at the stars.

This house is rustic and has lots of character. It is clean and cozy, but the layout and decor aren’t too fussy or uptight. The original portion of the house was built in 1994 with logs skidded out of the forest with a team of Percheron horses and peeled by hand. It includes an open kitchen with appliances and dishes. There is a deck where you can kick back and take in the scenery. One bathroom has an antique clawfoot tub. There is a loft/bedroom with a homemade queen size log bed. There is a nice sounding old piano for the fun of it.

A versatile 'great' room, which includes a bar (with sink, fridge and TV) and a full bathroom was added on to the house in 2001, and it is ideal for entertaining and hanging out. There are antlers, tanned hides, antiques, etc. throughout the house – sort of a wildlife/western theme. There is a large yard with trees, a picnic table, and a firepit. The native wildflowers are beautiful and plentiful. And various species of birds and wildlife will share this property with you.

There are also two convertible sofa beds in addition to a bedroom and the loft. The unique floor plan of this home can easily and comfortably accommodate a group of 6. This property is kid friendly and your well behaved pets are welcome too!

We absolutely loved this cabin. Cabin was very clean and well stocked with everything that we needed. Communication with host was by far the best we had during our 12 day road trip. The stay here made our trip to Yellowstone even better. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for somewhere to stay in Gardiner.

Read your rental agreement! I made the mistake of not knowing there was one and saw it about 2 hours before check in. The hosts were BEYOND wonderful! I wish we could have stayed longer. The cabin has everything you need, Becky and Lloyd have really thought of everything. The trail down by the river was super fun to do. I cannot say enough good things about the cabin. It was very clean and felt like home. We would love to visit again one day.

Fantastic cabin and host

We had an incredible time in this rustic and fairly remote cabin. If you’re looking to get away from it all, there can hardly be a better place. Becky was flexible and accommodating, while being easy to communicate with. This was our first time using vrbo, and I could not have asked for a better experience.

The cabin was perfect for our two week stay. Becky and Loyd provided everything including plenty of wood for the wood stove. The cabin literally had everything we needed to feel at home and very clean! Staying outside of Gardiner was great. The park entrance was 20 minutes away.6 miles of dirt road with many washboards was the only negative. It did get graded the last three days we were there which helped a lot.
