About this property

River Perch Cabin overlooking Yellowstone River and Yellowstone National Park

River Perch House is a newly remodeled 2 bedroom, 2 bath home overlooking the majestic Yellowstone River and stunning Electric Peak. It is located at 519 Scott Street, the main street of Gardiner a half mile from the North Entrance to Yellowstone and the historic Roosevelt Arch. In fact, both are visible from your back deck.

River Perch House is a two bedroom/ two bathroom home. As you enter the main floor from the street (street level), you enter into roomy, comfortable sitting room/TV area, a galley kitchen connects this area to an beautiful living/dining area with picture windows facing the river and the mountains.

Bedroom one is upstairs and has a closet, queen bed and suitcase space. The main floor bathroom is centrally located upstairs with a tub/shower combo.

Bedroom two is located downstairs. The stairs leading to the downstairs come from the living/dining area. This bedroom is unique and gorgeous. It is a very spacious area with picture windows facing the river and the mountains. It has a closet and a queen bed and plenty of space to relax. It has a smart tv. The downstairs room is accessed by internal stairs, but there is an outside door to the patio. From the patio there is an external set of stairs connecting the lower to the upper patio and main street. The downstairs bathroom has a shower, toilet and sink. There is also a library located downstairs.

This home is unique and beautiful with very nice, new appliances and a renovated kitchen. It is well equipped with dishes, cooking pots and utensils, blender, mixer, coffee pot, toaster and crock pot. The home has been beautifully refloored with an engineered hardwood. There is a washer and dryer for your use, located on the main floor and a smart tv in the tv/sitting room. There is reserved space for parking two cars in front of the home.

This renovation and listing is brand new, so we don't have reviews yet. We do manage three other properties in the area and you can check out our reviews on those and rent with confidence.

Make note: Yellowstone Beauty is right next door should you need more room or wish to rent adjoining homes. It is a beautiful home which sleeps 12.

Located within walking distance from your front door are several locally owned and operated restaurants, food trucks, raft companies, an ebike rental company, a fly shop, and coffee shops as well as the Gardiner Ridley's Food Market, our wonderful small town grocery store.

The living room picture window and downstairs windows overlook the Yellowstone River and all it has to offer from wildlife, waterfowl and raptors to whitewater rafting as well as a phenomenal mountain vista. Often you may be greeted on the patio by elk. There are several patio options with one overlooking the river and the other a roofed option closer to the main street. The patio sports a grill and a table and chairs where you can relax after a full day in Yellowstone or a terrific way to greet the day with a cup of coffee. The beauty is endless.

You will never be bored in Gardiner. Of course, Yellowstone is only one half mile from your door, but alternate available activities include whitewater rafting, horseback rides in Yellowstone and the surrounding Absaroka Beartooth Wilderness, hiking, mountain biking, sightseeing, wildlife watching, ziplining, guided Yellowstone Tours, shopping, fishing or just relaxing on the banks of the Yellowstone River which runs right through the middle of Gardiner and just below your back door.

Yellowstone National park is a vast 2.2 million acres of breathtaking beauty and adventure featuring hot pots, bubbling mud, terraces, geysers, wildlife and breathtaking scenery. Bordering Yellowstone is another 2.2 million acres of protected Absaroka Beartooth Wilderness. This is a vast expanse of wild country that could keep you busy for a lifetime. We hope you enjoy it as much as we do. We have lived here our entire life, and there is always something new to see or discover. We are excited to share it with you.

The property was very easy to locate and accessible to needs while visiting. Shopping and restaurants are close by. The rooms were clean. We could have used better pillows on the beds but all in all we enjoyed our stay. Even though located right on the main street it was quiet, even with a busy weekend!

Perfect Riverside Gem in Gardiner!The River Perch House is an absolutely cute property in a beautiful location right on the Yellowstone River. You truly get the best of both worlds here—stunning river views, yet within easy walking distance to the grocery store, coffee shops, restaurants, and local shops. The check-in process was incredibly easy, and Wendy was an excellent hostess and a great communicator throughout our stay. Highly recommend this perfect base camp for anyone visiting Yellowstone!

Right in downtown, walking distance to everything. On the river, one bedroom upstairs and one downstairs. Downstairs shower is very small, I'm 5' 7" and 120lbs and it was difficult for me to shower. Very nice, clean place and has everything you need in the kitchen.

So the river is about a 50 ft drop, not accessable. Also, doesn't have AC one bedroom has cooler but pretty loud, the other just a fan. No extra bath towels had 4 for 4 people. One hair dryer. shower downstairs is very small, TV only in living room, but very cute, great location to Yellowstone entrance and town. Host was quick responding.

Response from VrboOwner on Jul 25, 2026
Thanks for staying. I am sorry it was so hot when you were here. We have never needed ac but may need to reassess. There were extra towels in the closet and I apologize that you didn’t find them. I will look at placing them in the bathroom. Appreciate your honest comments and we will use them to adjust our practices. Can’t fix the river. It is like this through the entire town of Gardiner and I thought photos depicted this…::.but it is a beautiful view and most folks love it:). Thanks again and all the very best to you!
