About this property
Wow what a view from the Barn on the Banks of Yellowstone National Park!!❤️
Wow..what a view..love the loft! You may not have been 'Born in a Barn', but here's your chance to stay in one and VACATION 'Till the Cows Come Home'! We invite you to stay in our barn loft and call it your home, while you relax and enjoy our nation's largest and oldest National Park.
Barn on the Banks is located just above the Yellowstone river in a quiet residential area on the outskirts of Gardiner, Montana. We are less than 1 mile to the park's North Gate Entrance, famous for the Teddy Roosevelt Arch, and within walking distance to down town shops, restaurants, a grocery store, post office and excellent trout fishing.
Yellowstone river runs through this small town that is nestled at the foothills of Electric Peak, a majestic mountain that carries snow throughout most of the year. We are located at the end of a lane with no through traffic. Our loft overlooks the confluence of the Gardiner and Yellowstone rivers, and has unobstructed spectacular views of the mountains. We border the river and we are directly across from Yellowstone Park.
A short walk down the bank takes you to the river's edge where you can sit and enjoy nature, including frequent fliers of ducks, geese, bald eagles, and osprey, or possibly see a family of otters playing in the water.
From our deck you can view hummingbirds, mountain songbirds, and wildlife including deer, elk, Big Horn sheep, Pronghorn (antelope), or possibly see a bear, wolf, coyote, or bison.
One summer while sitting on the deck of the barn, my husband witnessed a doe deer giving birth to twin fawns. We frequently saw mama deer and her little ones close to our house and barn throughout the summer. Now we've seen yet another 'Near Barn Birth'! Over Memorial Weekend, we and our guests witnessed an Elk giving birth just a few feet below the deck of the Barn! This is truly an area you'll be able to experience nature.
The barn has never housed animals, the bottom of the barn is used for private storage. The barn loft was renovated in 2008-2009, and features a full kitchen with all new appliances, comfortable seating in the living area, and a large deck that looks into Yellowstone Park. You can sit by the fire on a chilly night, or cool down with air conditioning on a hot summer day.
There are amazing views from all areas of the loft made easy by several large windows. The master bedroom has a king bed, private bath, air conditioning, a fireplace and your own private balcony to sit, relax and enjoy the sunset.
The cozy 'Queen Room' catches the morning sun, and has the ambiance of a fireplace as well. The 3rd and "middle bedroom'" has one full sized double bed and one twin bed. The sofa in the living room converts to a full size bed.
The deck which overlooks Yellowstone Park and the river, features outdoor tables and chairs as well as additional seating and a gas grill under the deck. So come and stay with us, enjoy our 'Barn on the Banks', and make your vacation one you will remember. **NOTE: There is an additional 3% Gardiner Resort Tax that you will be billed separately for if your stay is June through September.

The Barn on the Banks is a great place to stay. The location is quiet and the views are wonderful. I was able to get night photographs of the Milky Way from the front porch!Hosts were very friendly and invited to see some black bears hanging in their tree!
We had a delightful stay at the Barn on the Banks! The home is very comfortable and nicely sized, the beds were great, the kitchen was fully equipped, and the setting is fantastic, having a great view of the North Entrance to Yellowstone.
It is a 10 out of 10. Views are spectacular. Location is perfect. It is impeccably decorated and there were elk everywhere. We would buy it if they would sell,
Our second time here! For YNP, we won’t stay anywhere else! It’s SO clean. SO comfy. SO well maintained and has all the bells and whistles. The owner (private, not some yucky management company) came over in-person to let us know about black bear activity in the area. Perfect!!!!
This cutely decorated barn-house is packed with anything and everything you might need for your stay! The host was very quick in replying to questions or for suggestions. We especially loved discovering the "secret farm" under the porch. My whole family loved staying at such a unique and homely place while visiting Yellowstone.
This property was perfect for our Yellowstone vacation and had everything we needed for a great few days in Montana. My husband and son enjoyed fishing the Yellowstone River below the house in between our travels around the area. The bank is steep and long, but it was worth it to catch a few fish.
Excellent stay and highly recommend. Super easy access to Yellowstone and so much easier to access the park than in other locations. We never had lines to enter like you do in West Yellowstone. The property itself is advertised but the photos don’t do it justice. The beds are comfortable and everything is well maintained. You can tell a lot of care went into the place. We loved sitting outside and watching the elk down by the river.
This property was beautiful and so well thought out! We traveled from Kansas with our 4 kids and there were so many items that were in the Barn that i left at home! As a mom who does all the packing and prepping for vacay i was so grateful for the freshly ground coffee, fishing poles and gear, detergent for the laundry and on and on! You can tell that so much thought and care went into the Barn. The views and location was perfect for a fun chill day fishing by river or going into the park. I could not recommend this getaway enough!
Lovely stay for our family. The hosts treat you like family, we enjoyed them! Definitely telling friends to stay here when visiting Yellowstone! Beautiful home and convenient location.
We loved the Barn on the Banks! Amazing location with beautiful views and lots of wildlife! Lovely owners- very kind and welcoming. Had everything we needed!

The barn was amazing from the closeness and view of Yellowstone to the cleanliness.
Linda and Ken were amazing they made sure we had everything we needed to enjoy our visit to Yellowstone and come back to a comfortable stay at the Barn after a long day exploring. Would highly recommend staying here on your visit to Gardiner and Yellowstone.
This property is located on the banks of the scenic Yellowstone River, overlooking downtown Gardiner. During our stay we had many backyard visits by the local wildlife wandering through. The home has all the amenities you’d ever need. We had traveled with a crockpot for meals end of day in the park. Didn’t need it. The property had one. We even baked. Highly recommend.
Our family had a wonderful time staying here. The owners have put time and energy into making sure you will have everything you need to enjoy your stay. We enjoyed our time here as well as meeting the owners.
Thank you both so much!
Linda & Ken are amazing hostesses! The views are the best in Gardiner. When we return, this is where we will stay. I will recommend this place every time anyone asks where to stay.

We really enjoyed our stay at the barn! The house was well equipped with everything we wanted or needed for our stay. Comfy beds, very clean, great views, well stocked kitchen for cooking, etc. The hosts were very friendly & checked in with us to make sure we were comfortable. Our family of 5 loved the area & close access to YNP. We would definitely stay here again!
This property has amazing views of Yellowstone. We enjoyed staying at the property waking up to the beautiful views of NP and the river. The kitchen is loaded as well so we had no problem cooking everyday. Linda is great host
Ken and Linda were fantastic hosts. The barn was very clean and in such a peaceful setting. Lots of elk come to graze in the area in the evening. There is nothing missing here - the place is well stocked with anything and everything you could ever need. Highly recommend!

About the host
Hosted by Linda and Dena
An answer to prayer brought us to this little piece of heaven. We moved to Montana in 1977 with our then small children to follow a teaching job in Gardiner. We both grew up in the Midwest on Farm and Ranches in Rural Nebraska. We have always loved the mountains and have enjoyed horseback riding, hiking, skiing, hunting, canoeing, and lots of other outdoor activities in beautiful Montana.
Why they chose this property
We love animals, Mountains, the great outdoors, and wanted to raise our children in a small town... so what better place to live than in Montana next to Yellowstone Park!? The barn was built in 1994 but was never used to house animals, even though we had horses, along with several other animals our kids raised. As our kids left home, so did most of the animals...thank goodness! In 2008, a long time dream began to take shape as we began renovating the barn loft into a 1100 SF 3 bedroom, 2 bath apartment. 'Barn on the Banks of Yellowstone Park' was open for business as a Vacation Rental in the Spring of 2009. Much of the decor was directly inspired from my early childhood memories of Country Life. Several old things from the Ranch & Farm... 'treasured Junk', have been re-purposed as part of the Barn decor ...giving it an eclectic charm to make you feel right at home...even if you weren't born in a barn. So please come stay in the 'Barn' while you vacation in the Nation's oldest National Park. ....it has all the modern conveniences and comforts of home...even running water and indoor plumbing! :)
What makes this property unique
We are located just 1 mile from the North Gate Entrance to Yellowstone Park which is the only entrance open year around. The 'Barn on the Banks' is open year around as well, and has views that will take your breath away as you look directly into Yellowstone Park, the Yellowstone River below, over our small town of Gardiner, or gaze upon 'Electric Peak'. Our property borders Yellowstone Park and the Yellowstone River which means that we have lots of wildlife around our property. We have had 3 'Near Barn Births' as a doe deer gave birth to twins and a cow Elk gave birth to her calf just a few feet below the Barn deck! The 'Near Barn' experiences are something our guests and we are still talking about. Because we border Yellowstone River, some of the best trout fishing around is directly below the Barn. Our convenient location is perfect for experiencing Yellowstone in the Winter as we have some of the best cross-country skiing, wolf watching, and snowshoeing just minutes away. We absolutely love it here and have never regretted the move from Nebraska to God's Country! :)
