About this property

Cozy mountain chalet, 10 minutes from Yellowstone Park

Chalet by the river is a cozy chalet style home on the banks of the Yellowstone River with views all around. The wrap around deck provides a place to relax and enjoy the view with your family and friends while grilling dinner in the outdoor kitchen complete with BBQ, small fridge and a 6 seat bar.

We offered the chalet for rent to folks visiting our area in the past but decided to enjoy it ourselves for a few years. We are again making it available for your vacation in Yellowstone and southern Montana. So plan the family vacation you've been waiting for. If your group is larger, you may want to rent or smaller Cabin By The River along with the chalet. The cabin sleeps 5. We know you will love it!

Guests prefer our country location a way from the crowds, yet only a short distance to Gardiner, the north entrance to Yellowstone. We know you will not be disappointed! There are 4 bedrooms as well as 2 other sleeping areas accommodating up to 12 people. There is a large open great room dining room kitchen. The table will easily seat 9-10. The outdoor space is large and open with a fenced in backyard, swing set, tether ball, volleyball and soccer field. You may want to fish the Yellowstone River, a blue ribbon trout stream, just below the house. Hiking trail heads are within walking distance. The Yellowstone Hot Springs is just 4 miles up the road which is a natural hot springs with a variety of pools to enjoy.

We enjoy sharing our piece of heaven with you and your family!

Exceptional!!
This property was wonderful for my husband, me, and our 3 adult children. The Wagners were gracious hosts and made us feel welcomed. The location had beautiful views and was easily accessible to Yellowstone.

Gateway to Yellowstone
Chris and Warren were wonderful hosts to us. Their home was beautifully appointed, clean, and well maintained. The location was perfect for day trips into Yellowstone, adventuring to the hot springs down the road and just having down days at the house. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook our meals and the grill worked wonderfully. As a wonderful bonus, Chris and Warren showed us a really fun spot off the beaten path where we got to see grizzlies grazing. We had a wonderful stay!

Mullen Review
We had a wonderful time. The home was exceptionally clean, well appointed, and the owners gracious. The home on the Yellowstone was breath taking and it was the perfect distance to Gardiner and Yellowstone. We enjoyed our stay! Again the view from the house and sitting on the deck will be memories of a lifetime.

Family Yellowstone Vacation
The house was perfect for our Yellowstone vacation! A very short drive to the North entrance, the property was private with great views and access to the Yellowstone River. There was plenty for our kids to do with games in the yard (tetherball was the favorite) and fishing in the river. Chris greeted us at the house to show us the property and offer her hospitality while Warren gave the kids some tips for fishing. The house had a great Montana feel and was more than equipped with everything we needed to enjoy some downtime while not in the park. Everything in the house was clean and very well maintained. The pictures cannot capture the beauty. Thanks for everything!

About the host

Hosted by Chris Wagner

Host profile image
We have been hosting guests to our area since 1995 when we built our smaller Cabin By The River. We love sharing our little piece of heaven with vacationers. We have lived in the area since 1971. We raised 3 children here and last year hosted our granddaughters wedding here on our place. I am a Montana native, my grand parents homesteaded in northern Montana. Warren has lived in Montana since the 60's after serving in the Navy.
We love our property and our community. It is a special place with special people.

Why they chose this property

We know you will appreciate the privacy and quiet that our home offers while being close enough to enjoy Yellowstone as much as you like. There are many experiences available out side the Park you might also enjoy, river rafting, fly fishing, hiking, horse back riding, rodeo, hot springs, fine restaurants and gift shops.
