About this property

Good July -Aug dates still available ! Great place to make family memories !

Yellowstone River Lodge 2 is a hand built log cabin adjacent to listing #89227. There are 5 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, a walkout to river and a deck overlooking river. It has a big, open kitchen with center island, (great for gatherings), gas fireplace and central air and heating. The lodge is available year round and is handicap accessible and perfect for large groups. We handle all of our bookings-no property manager. We look forward to hearing from you !

We are located on the Yellowstone River, 10 miles north of Gardiner, MT- the oldest entrance to Yellowstone Park. This is a beatuiful and convenient location for visiting Yellowstone Park and the surrounding area. There are many other activites to do and see in the area such as horseback riding, hiking, fishing, river rafting, snowmobiling, cross country skiing and hunting. All of these activites are available in the nearby upper Yellowstone Valley.

This area is a beautiful place to visit any time of year. Winters in the Gardiner are usually pretty mild. The road through the northern part of Yellowstone to Cooke City is open year round. The most scenic part of the Park offers unlimited wildlife viewing, particularly of elk, bison and the famous Yellowstone wolves. There is snowmobiling and cross country skiing in the mountains above Gardiner, Cooke City and in the Park. Downhilll skiing is also available nearby at Bridger Bowl and Big Sky.

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.

Great spot for Yellowstone

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.

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!

Great stay & awesome location

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.

Perfect for our family reunion!

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!

Family Yellowstone Adventure

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.

Very Beautiful Home

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.

Labor day vacation

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😊

Great Location and host!

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

Awesome property on a Yellowstone River

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.

Incredible group housing and beautiful!

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.

Family vacation to Yellowstone

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
