About this property

Amazing Views of Yellowstone Park & River! A 1/2 mile from YNP’s North Entrance.

Enjoy The Sound of The Yellowstone River and The Sights of Yellowstone and the surrounding mountains from this beautifully remodeled vacation rental. Located just around the corner from The North Gate of Yellowstone in Gardiner, Montana, this rental was lovingly remodeled and decorated to be comfortable, welcoming and stylish.
We named this rental Water House Two because the original wooden Water Tower used to stand on this property until the 1960's and the original stone Pump House is situated just below on the river. During the remodel and revision of the original house and the property we found old receipts from Gardiner Residents water payments and buried water house gear and parts.
Located in a nice neighborhood, everything is within walking distance. The quaint mountain town of Gardiner, Montana (Population 800) is the original entrance to Yellowstone National Park and the only entrance open all year.
You can stroll to dinner, shopping and to The Headquarters of Yellowstone Forever for Ranger and Naturalist Talks. The Boiling River, popular for soaking, is just inside the park gate and Mammoth Hot Springs is located 15 minutes from the house and the new Yellowstone Hot Springs is just North of Town, about 15 minutes.
This is a 1,200sq/ft. Lower Unit with another rental above. The house was originally one and with the new remodel, it has been made into two separate units. Bedroom 1 has a queen size bed and Bedroom 2 has two twin beds. The Kitchen has a Pantry, Senseo Coffee Maker (we include the coffee for you), Toaster, Microwave, Mixing Bowls, Picnic Basket, cooking and eating utensils.The Living Room has a 55" SmartTV, large comfy couch and oversize chair. You can Log into Your Prime, Netflix, Disney+, etc.. Accounts. We already have DirecTV Service for The TV. The bathroom has double sinks and a hair dryer and towels for your convenience. Canned lighting, French Doors and new windows have been installed to make the rental bright and to bring in the surroundings. Each bedroom has a window or windows that open to the river.
Parking is on the street. Please do not park in front of Quimby Cabin next door.
Easy private river access is on property.
Children 10 years old and up only unless previously approved.
* CHECK IN IS BETWEEN 4PM AND 9PM UNLESS A LATER TIME HAS BEEN ARRANGED WITH OWNERS.
* * PLEASE REMEMBER THAT THIS IS A LOWER UNIT SO THERE MAY BE GUESTS UPSTAIRS AND YOU MAY BE ABLE TO HEAR FOOTSTEPS OR MOVEMENT ABOVE. We have done everything construction wise to damper noise.
We own Paradise Adventure Company and Yellowstone Raft Company. Please let us know if you are interested in any fun Activities during Your Stay.
We look forward to Hosting you!!

Perfect home base for trips to Mammoth and the Lamar Valley (bears and wolf cubs for early risers!), and the town of Gardiner is delightful. Picturesque location on the Yellowstone River and the unit was spacious for four adults. Hosts were great communicators too!

The property was very clean and updated. The location was excellent, walkable to town, and very close to the Yellowstone entrance. . However, the entry through the back gate for traveling guests was difficult to maneuver luggage through the gravel and passageway to the door was a little cluttered.

We loved Gardiner & our rental was so nice! The river running next to us was beautiful! The house across the river actually had a mama and baby black bear in their yard two nights in a row! Had everything we needed in the kitchen was well stocked, only suggestion I would have is to have saran wrap and tinfoil otherwise our stay was absolutely wonderful!!

Best views in Gardiner. Rafted down the Yellowstone river, and loved it. Watched Elk swim across the river and feed nightly in the lawn across the river. We rented the lower unit, next time it will be the upper for the extra space and king size bed. The convenience of the entry into Yellowstone was perfect.

Beautiful property

This is a beautiful property with perfect views of the Yellowstone River and the mountains. We spent our evenings and mornings sitting out enjoying the views. This property is also walking distance to restaurants and stores. We walked to the park entrance for pictures and drove into the park with no traffic. The property owners were accommodating. We had a pleasant stay while visiting Yellowstone Park.

Exactly as described and right on the river. I enjoyed a cup of coffee every morning watching a small herd of elk across the river and listening to river run past. So peaceful and you could walk anywhere in town within minutes. Side note: it is the lower unit so upstairs guest can cause some noise with walking across the floor but it’s still five stars worthy in my book.

Fantastic View

This house was perfect. The view of the Yellowstone River was incredible from our bedroom and back patio. It was incredibly close to the north entrance of Yellowstone. It was within walking distance of some very sweet part of Gardiner and great restaurants. We would definitely stay there again!

Great stay in Gardiner

Great location and views at this property. We were in walking distance to town and the property had awesome views of the river. It was very well stocked and clean with great attention to the little details. I loved that it also had a washer and dryer so that I could wash clothes during our trip. The only issue we had is that you can definitely hear the people staying above (which they do note in the description of the property). Overall, a great place to stay!
