Yellowstone Riverview Retreat
Yellowstone Riverview Retreat is a tastefully furnished lodge-style home located just three miles north of the original entrance to Yellowstone National Park in Gardiner, Montana. This property offers guests the perfect setting for fishing, photography, wildlife observation, family gatherings, or simply relaxing along the banks of the Yellowstone River, with stunning views of Yellowstone Park just across the water.
Property Features
Set on three acres surrounded by mature trees, the retreat boasts a spacious and private backyard. Highlights include a covered gazebo with a rock fireplace and a deck overlooking the Yellowstone River, as well as apple and cherry trees. The expansive yard provides ample space for outdoor activities, including a concrete dance floor ideal for family get-togethers.
Accommodations
The house features two bedrooms: the master includes a king bed, while the second bedroom offers a queen bed and a bunk bed with a full-sized lower bunk and a single upper bunk. There is one full bathroom equipped with a shower-tub combination, two sinks, and handicap bars for added accessibility. Additionally, there is a half bathroom (toilet and sink) located conveniently near the back door for easy access from outside.
Living Spaces
Guests can relax in the large living room, which includes a 54-inch TV with satellite service. The dining area is equipped with a table that seats eight and a counter bar with seating for three. The fully stocked kitchen provides all amenities needed for meal preparation, including coffee, tea, sugar, spices, flour, ketchup, and more. Essential supplies such as toilet paper and soaps (excluding hair products) are also provided. A washer and dryer with detergent are available for guest use. Bear spray is supplied for hiking excursions.
Outdoor Amenities
The backyard features a deck furnished with a table and chairs, a barbecue grill, and ample space for activities like soccer. The gazebo and deck over the river offer a serene spot to unwind, while the concrete dance floor off the gazebo is perfect for family events.
Location and Wildlife
Located far enough from town to ensure peace and quiet, yet close enough for convenient access to supplies, the retreat offers a tranquil setting for guests. Depending on the season, wildlife such as mule deer, elk, buffalo, grizzly and black bears, may be seen in the yard.
Additional Information: VERY IMPORTANT. See VRBO #4914516
The three-acre property contains two VRBO homes. Guests are asked to be respectful of other lodgers. Families requiring both homes may inquire for a discount, making this an ideal location for large family gatherings.

About the host
Hosted by Sandy Karnes
This home is a 4th generation family home. Our children have been born and raised in the area, and all graduated from Gardiner schools. I moved to Gardiner, from Northern Idaho, met and married Joe in 1982 (deceased). We raised 3 boys. We are a very family and friend-oriented family. We have supported the town and school of Gardiner with a lot of pride of the area. All our boys have been in 4-h, showing horses, sheep and beef. I worked for Yellowstone Natl. Park for 14 years but then moved to Great Falls MT. and worked at Malstrom Airforce base in Great Falls, MT. until retirement as a motor vehicle and equipment operator. I like to meet new people and like to make new friends.
Why they chose this property
I have inherited this home, and would love to share its tranquility, and beautiful setting with you.
What makes this property unique
This home and area is just a nice area to come and de-stress and relax and enjoy the river, yard, wildlife and the birds chirping in the trees
