Amazing and tranquil place to stay! My family and I loved every second we spent here. Very nice comfortable place to stay. Most amazing views and even had elk visit us a couple days right in the back yard. Wonderful experience!
Property was amazing! Several four legged visitors, which was very cool! House was well stocked with everything we needed and the location close to the entrance to the park was perfect for our trip!
Perfect stay! Sandie, the host, was awesome!! Very friendly and helpful. She made suggestions on where to eat, etc. The house was very clean and had everything we could possibly need! The beds were very comfortable.
The home's location on the river and just outside of town was perfect. It had everything we needed for fun family adventures. We saw elk in the yard several times. My family would be excited to stay here again.

We had a wonderful stay. We enjoyed the river right behind the property. We got a visit from a herd of elks in the front and backyard which was truly a treat. The property was clean and cozy.
We loved our stay in Gardiner. The house was very clean and comfortable, and the kitchen was very well stocked. We enjoyed watching the elk come through the yard every day. This property is in the perfect location to visit Yellowstone.
Wonderful property and superb location. On the bank of the Yellowstone River and park property was directly across the river with a great view of 11,000’ high Electric Peak. Five minutes to the north entrance of Yellowstone NP with none of the congestion of West Yellowstone.
Perfect base location for our Yellowstone vacation! Minutes from the park entrance. Loved the river, gazebo for s’mores and relaxation, comfortable and clean home. Sandy was so kind and helpful!
Great location, beautiful views, fantastic backyard. Quick access to Yellowstone for easy day trips and just down the street from Gardiner and local attractions.
Home was meticulously clean and stocked with everything we needed. Waking up to the view of mountains and the river was amazing. We ventured into the park each day of our stay and it was a great location to do that and to check out the town of Gardiner. I would highly recommend!
We loved our stay. Wonderful, communicative host and I’ve never been to a more well stocked and comfortable home. Loved the elk in our yard daily. First morning we looked out the back and saw bison across the river!
This home was well-suited to our needs: clean, comfortable, quiet and on a beautiful site next to the river. Kitchen had everything we needed. Our host was helpful and welcoming. We’re hoping to return.
Awesome house and host! Very comfortable and pleasant home. Very well equipped including unexpected extras such as folding chairs and ice chest to take into the park. Quiet and beautiful location. We enjoyed the riverside patio and the wildlife that meandered through everyday. Sandy is a great host, very attentive and replies in a timely manner. Highly recommend this home and host.
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.
