About this property
Cabin By The River~ 10 minutes from the north entrance to Yellowstone Park
Cabin By the River was built in 1995 and rests on the banks of the Yellowstone River, 10.5 miles north of Gardiner, Montana, the only year around entrance to Yellowstone Park. We have fully recovered from the historic 2022 flood and enjoy full access to Yellowstone Park. The cabin is situated on about 5 acres in the upper Paradise Valley, south of Yankee Jim Canyon and north of Corwin Springs, Montana. We enjoy a country setting with neighbors across grassy fields.
The cabin is decorated in country cabin decor and will sleep five. There is a queen bed in the main floor bedroom and a queen and a single bed in the sleeping loft. The front porch overlooks the river and offers a porch swing, table and chairs and a gas bbq. For rainy days, there are reading materials, games, Dish TV and DVD player with a selection of movies. The small kitchen offers a full size range and refrigerator. Dishes, utensils, coffee maker, crock pot & a brief pantry are provided.
The bathroom is a tub/shower combination. Linens, towels and paper products are provided.
Wifi service is available but caution that we are in a mountainous area and it is sometimes undependable. Your Verizon cell phone works well but is the predominant cell Service in our area.
We have a fire ring down along side the river for marsh mellow roasting or just enjoying. In the grassy area above the cabin there is a swing set, yard games and tether ball, lots of area to run and play. Fishing in the Yellowstone River from our property can be successful and a great experience in a blue ribbon trout stream.
We are only 10 minutes to Gardiner, the north entrance to Yellowstone. Our guests enjoy coming out of the Park in the evening to the quiet setting of the Cabin By the River. We do have a 4 night minimum.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

About the host
Hosted by Chris Wagner
I am a Montana native, 2nd generation (my grandparents homesteaded in northern Montana), and Warren has lived in Montana most of his life having grown up in Northern California. We moved to the Gardiner area in 1971. We have 3 grown children and 8 grandchildren, some living in the area. Warren is retired from the National Park Service and I manage the cabin and our larger Chalet. We love living in the mountains but also love to travel. We have been providing lodging for visitors for almost 25 years and have loved meeting wonderful people and sharing our corner of the world. We have a dog (Jack) and 2 house cats who also enjoy our guests.
Why they chose this property
We built our 'Cabin By The River' in 1995. For 10 years we operated it as a bed and breakfast. We are located in a small valley of the upper Yellowstone River. We have about 5 acres on the Yellowstone River. Our Chalet and cabin as well as our home are on this acreage.
What makes this property unique
We love being close to the river and hearing it flow by at night. We are in a country setting with neighbors yet private. Guests enjoy fishing right here and having a fire in the fire ring by the river. The mountain views all around are spectacular. Sitting on the porch in the evening or early morning are beyond description!
