While we do have a no refund policy, we do always try to work with our guests. We will give you a refund If we know far enough in advance and are able to rebook your dates. We will also give you a refund If Yellowstone Park is closed for any reason during your stay with us. We highly recommend that you buy trip insurance as a precaution for the possibility of a natural disaster, such as the unprecedented flooding we had this year. We are also willing to transfer your deposit for another date within the next year, if you need to cancel. The reason we have this policy is to discourage cancelations a week or 2 before their stay. Then it is hard for us to rebook. Big groups usually book far in advance to get a place and dates that can accommodate their group.
If you don't see the dates you want open on our calendar, feel free to check out the calendar of our other lodge, also located on this same property, vrbo listing 89227. It sleeps 18, has 7 bedrooms , 3 bathrooms, front and back decks, overlooks the river and 3 fireplaces.

We have stayed at this property a few times now. Very clean and comfortable. Great location to the north gate of Yellowstone. Plenty of room for everyone
Karen-Thank you so much ! We are so glad you had a good stay and visit to our beautiful area ! Thanks for leaving the lodge is such great shape too ! Come back anytime !
We had the best time at this property. The house is spacious and welcoming. Free Wi-Fi. My extended family really enjoyed their stay. As I travelled the road to Gardiner and back, there is no better place to stay. The beds were all very comfortable. I cannot recommend this property enough.

Russell-So glad your family enjoyed their stay and our beautiful area. It is a good place to make family
memories ! Thanks for leaving the lodges so clean too ! Thanks for your kind words too !
Beautiful River-side location convenient to YNP. Accommodated all 12 of us very comfortably; plenty of beds and the five bedrooms/three baths were perfect for our family. Wish we could have stayed longer! The house was very well equipped with everything we needed in the kitchen plus the BBQ grill. We really enjoyed the back deck overlooking the river plus lots of nice lawn space for games. Overall, wonderful!
We loved every minute in your beautiful cabin!! And the grounds…. Played wiffle ball a lot! Perfect place for our family of 9 and much more room for many more if we had needed it!!A fun vacation and we all loved your cabin!Linda Stolzenburg
If you have a large group, this home is one to consider. It has plenty of beds, location was great and our family of 7 had a great time. Will stay here again for future Yellowstone adventures!
Perfect for our family. We have been going to Yellowstone for about 20 years and we have stayed in a lot of different locations. This was one of the better places and we will stay here again.

Thank you for your kind words ! It was so nice meeting you and your family and hope we see you again . Thank you also for leaving the lodge so clean ! Have a great rest of the summer !
Yellowstone Lodge was spacious, beautiful, and the perfect place for our family reunion/vacation. It’s very close to Yellowstone, and a reasonable drive to the Tetons. The location is beautiful on the river, and everybody had a lovely time! The lodge has everything you need, and the owner is helpful, kind, and responsive. Thanks for everything, and maybe our travels will lead us back someday.
We all enjoyed our stay at this special place. The river view from the deck was so beautiful and peaceful. The beds were all very comfortable, everyone had their own comfy space. It was a beautiful drive into town and to the park. We all hope to be back someday soon

The house was just perfect for our sister reunion. It was comfortable and the Yellowstone River was our thread of peace. Dru and John were just the nicest people and they felt like family.

It was so nice to meet you all ! Sounds like it was good sister gathering . We have made so many friends doing this vacation home rental and hope you can come back sometime !
Everything about this property was amazing! It was more than sufficient for 8 adults & 5 children! The view of the river was awesome & we saw wild life on the hills every day. The kitchen was well stocked with dishes, pots, pans, etc. It was close to town & sightseeing in Yellowstone & yet far enough away to enjoy privacy. We would definitely stay here again!
It was easy access to the park. The cabin had plenty of room for our family of 11. Had a awesome view of mountains and River from the deck. The owners are so helpful with anything you need. I highly recommend this cabin,

Thank you Lisa ! It was so nice to meet your family and glad to hear you enjoyed your stay and your trip to Yellowstone . Thanks for leaving the lodge so clean too ! Hope you can back again sometime .
This is the perfect spot for your large family or group adventure to Yellowstone National Park. Easy access to the park. Located right on the Yellowstone river with great Mountain views from the cabin. Nicely equipped so you don’t have to spend a fortune eating out, but plenty of restaurants in town should you choose to do so. Other activities and shopping all nearby. Highly recommend either of their 2 cabins
House was amazing, sitting on the deck & listening to the river run by was a great way to start & end each day. The only downside was there was not enough refrigerator space for the amount of people & had to keep some of our food in coolers.
We loved staying at Dru and John's cabin. It was very spacious and clean. The cabin had 3 floors but 2 bedrooms, a bathroom, the kitchen, living area, and deck overlooking the river are all on the main level making it perfect for our elderly parents with limited mobility. The drive to YS North Entrance is very pretty and takes about 10 - 15 minutes. Thank you for a wonderful stay.

the property was clean and the location was just perfect. We avoided the long lines into the park staying on the north side and were able to come back and relax in the amazing river the runs behind the property. Dru Ann was a great host and we cannot wait to come back to this gorgeous place. Thanks again😊

Cory and crew - Thank you and it was really nice meeting all of you ! Thank you for the delicious rib dinner too ! I look forward to seeing you all again next time ! Thanks too for leaving the lodge so clean !
Our group of 9 really enjoyed our stay. We had plenty of room to stretch out. The river location and pavillion on the property gave us the chance to wind down after long days in the park. Dru is an excellent host and so pleasant to talk to. Gardiner is a great little town, stop by Yellowstone Perk for great coffee and vibes. We would highly recommend Dru and the Yellowstone River Retreat. ¹¹
My favorite vrbo so far. Relaxing and very accommodating. Loved sitting on the deck or at the shelterhouse patio watching the river. Off the front porch we saw elk almost every evening. The house is well stocked with everything we needed. Our group of 10 had plenty of room and we were very comfortable. Dru was an excellent host. Highly recommend this property.
This was an incredible property for our large youth group. Dru Anne was extremely welcoming and had so many options to make our stay more positive. From the well- stocked kitchen to the plethora of towels to the rollaway beds and mats. This gave us the option we needed to have a very comfortable stay on the beautiful Yellowstone river. Incredible opportunity for all of us! It was also just beautiful right there on the Yellowstone River and gave us plenty of space to connect at nights in the pavilion and enjoy the beautiful scenery during the day.
The Cabin is situated in a quiet and peaceful setting along the Yellowstone river. We were able to watch Osprey and Bald Eagles catch fish from the river. The historic flooding from last year did make access to the river difficult, unfortunately the owners of the property have been unable to fix the access yet due to multiple government agencies and their bureaucracy/red tape! My family loved their stay and is an excellent area for rafting early in the season and trout fishing later in the summer when the water settes down!

The house could use a deep clean. The bottom cupboards were dirty. Dead bugs on the window sills. Cob webs between the logs on the walls. They need to invest in new windows with screens. The A/c wasn’t working very well but unable to open windows due to no screens

About the host
Hosted by DruAnn Robidou
John and I lived in the Gardiner area for 46 years, raising our family here and working in the outfitting and ranching businesses . We have 6 kids and 18 grandkids. In 1996 we sold our outfitting business in the Absaroka Beartooth Wilderness area near Gardiner and purchased a guide territory in Northern British Columbia. We spent our summers and falls in B.C. for 11 years. In 2006 , we sold the guide area and purchased a ranch where we now live, raising cattle and hay. We enjoy spending time with our family and taking horse pack trips. I am also an avid quilter and scrapbooker. We built this lodge in 2006 and love sharing it with guests that come to visit our beautiful Yellowstone area ! John and DruAnn Robidou
Why they chose this property
Our property is a great place for a family reunion, girls or guys getaway trip, any kind of craft or writers retreat, weddings and wedding receptions. Our lodge sits on 7 acres , overlooking the Yellowstone River, is roomy and we have a big yard to enjoy after a day in the Park. We also have nice decks on the front and back of the lodge to relax on. It is a great location , being only 10 minutes from the north entrance to the Park at Gardiner, the original entrance to Yellowstone . You have the privacy of being out in the country, yet the convience of a short 10 minute drive to begin your adventure in Yellowstone !
What makes this property unique
Obviously our location to Yellowstone and being able to accommodate bigger groups are our biggest benefits. There is also world class fishing just out the back door on the legendary Yellowstone River, along with white water rafting. The scenery is awesome, whether you are seeing it from your car, our deck, hiking some of the many trails in the area or from the back of a horse while spending an afternoon with one of the local horseback outfitters in the area . If you need more space , we have another log lodge located on the other edge of our property, that sleeps 18 and between the 2 lodges is a great place for family reunions. With the big yard , horseshoe pits between the 2 lodges and a covered log pavilion, there is lots room for kids to run, play games and folks to gather. We have hosted several reunions, retreats and weddings. We have extra tables and chairs available and will do all we can to accommodate your group. Staying with us, you will see why they call Montana, the "Last Best Place !"
