Alex is one of the most communicative hosts I've stayed with. GREAT! the property was clean and had LOTS of space. (especially nice after a NP cabin). Kitchen is well equipped. And nice that people have left salt and spices so you don't need to buy them all.

The place is an older home. But clean and has a good amount of space. It was perfect for us traveling with our dog. The yard is nice and fenced. It’s not luxury but has necessities. We loved the location, you could walk to everything and the park entrance is just around the corner. The whole town is of an older construction and the roads are not great but hey you are in the wild, Wild West where elk just might be right outside your window. lol!

Great location for exploring North Yellowstone, only 5 mins from park entrance, and in the evening walking distance to all you need for a lovely evening. The cottage had all we needed for our stay and we all felt very comfortable. Also very quiet at night for a good rest.

Perfect stay near Yellowstone

The house had everything we needed and was old and rustic. Some gave poor reviews because it is and older house, but we didn't mind at all. The location was great and the town was perfect. If we ever come through here again, we would stay here.

Good stay

House is very close to Yellowstone North entrance, we saw Elk around town and did some shopping/ eating. House is old, but well kept- some of the rooms were dark with limited lighting. We had 4 adults and 1 child- so 2 adults slept on the pull out couch, there is also one queen bed and 3 single beds. Beds were comfortable.

We loved staying in this VRBO. Travelling with two dogs can be challenging so it was great to have a fenced yard for the dogs!!The house had everything we needed and more!We loved having a fully equipped kitchen so we could prepare sandwiches etc for picnics in the Yellowstone Park! (It beats having to stand in line for burgers and fries in the park) Also great to have laundry facilities !!The house made this trip a breeze for us! Thank you to the wonderful host. We will be back!

Ok stay but not great

Adequate to meet our needs for a short stay. It is an old house with all the quirks that go along. Smelled bad upon arrival but improved with open windows. Bathroom ceilings are very low but didn't bother us we are short but if you are 6ft it wouldn't work well.

Yellowstone Bound

Location, location, location! We were right near Yellowstone NP entrance. The Stone house was and older home that looked like it has some updates. Very comfortable, adequate linens and supplies. When we first arrived, we weren't sure. Entering via the alley we were abit taken back, but inside was comfortable. Had a nice fenced in yard for our dog. Host always responded promptly to questions, concerns.

Fantastic cottage space near Yellowstone Park North Entrance

We loved staying at this little cottage near the entrance of Yellowstone in Gardiner, MA. The rooms were perfect, the kitchen was wonderful, and the washer/dryer was a nice surprise! We enjoyed our coffee in the beautiful front yard with a view of the mountains! We would definitely stay here again!

Fantastic little cottage with a view of the mountains from the alley, and an adorably manicured yard

We LOVE the cottage! This is our second time staying in this house when we come to Yellowstone. The house is adorable and homey, and Alex is a great person to rent from. Anytime we come back, we'll definitely stay at Alex's cottage!

Clean cabin. Great location.

Great location, central to restaurants and conveniences. Perfect place to trek from into the park. Could have been awesome if a little more attention was paid to the details. No toilet paper or coffee. Towels smelled musty.

The picture is deceiving.

I expected this property to be a bit isolated. It was not. It was tucked among many other homes. There is no way to get in to the front door, you must follow the directions to go through the back door. There were bugs and spiders in the house and the yard is much more overgrown than the picture implies. The location is within walking distance of many places but overall, I wouldn’t stay here again.

Not quite what we expected

None of the online pictures are accurate. We were a little shocked when we first arrived and entered the house. We entered from the back where the carport is which is pretty much the entrance you will use throughout your stay. The first rooms you walk thru are misleading to the rest of the house. They really need a "face lift" and are not welcoming. However all appliances work well with no issues. The master room bed slept pretty good for my wife and I. The kids said the other beds were fair. All in all we enjoyed our stay after warming up to the place. Note there is a pet smell that you must get used to. The location is great. We had 2 elk in the driveway our last morning which was pretty cool. This is an honest review and hopefully the owner receives it as constructive criticism.
