About this property

Wow what a view from the Barn on the Banks of Yellowstone National Park!!❤️


Wow..what a view..love the loft! You may not have been 'Born in a Barn', but here's your chance to stay in one and VACATION 'Till the Cows Come Home'! We invite you to stay in our barn loft and call it your home, while you relax and enjoy our nation's largest and oldest National Park.

Barn on the Banks is located just above the Yellowstone river in a quiet residential area on the outskirts of Gardiner, Montana. We are less than 1 mile to the park's North Gate Entrance, famous for the Teddy Roosevelt Arch, and within walking distance to down town shops, restaurants, a grocery store, post office and excellent trout fishing.

Yellowstone river runs through this small town that is nestled at the foothills of Electric Peak, a majestic mountain that carries snow throughout most of the year. We are located at the end of a lane with no through traffic. Our loft overlooks the confluence of the Gardiner and Yellowstone rivers, and has unobstructed spectacular views of the mountains. We border the river and we are directly across from Yellowstone Park.

A short walk down the bank takes you to the river's edge where you can sit and enjoy nature, including frequent fliers of ducks, geese, bald eagles, and osprey, or possibly see a family of otters playing in the water.

From our deck you can view hummingbirds, mountain songbirds, and wildlife including deer, elk, Big Horn sheep, Pronghorn (antelope), or possibly see a bear, wolf, coyote, or bison.

One summer while sitting on the deck of the barn, my husband witnessed a doe deer giving birth to twin fawns. We frequently saw mama deer and her little ones close to our house and barn throughout the summer. Now we've seen yet another 'Near Barn Birth'! Over Memorial Weekend, we and our guests witnessed an Elk giving birth just a few feet below the deck of the Barn! This is truly an area you'll be able to experience nature.


The barn has never housed animals, the bottom of the barn is used for private storage. The barn loft was renovated in 2008-2009, and features a full kitchen with all new appliances, comfortable seating in the living area, and a large deck that looks into Yellowstone Park. You can sit by the fire on a chilly night, or cool down with air conditioning on a hot summer day.

There are amazing views from all areas of the loft made easy by several large windows.
The master bedroom has a king bed, private bath, air conditioning, a fireplace and your own private balcony to sit, relax and enjoy the sunset.

The cozy 'Queen Room' catches the morning sun, and has the ambiance of a fireplace as well.
The 3rd and "middle bedroom'" has one full sized double bed and one twin bed.
The sofa in the living room converts to a full size bed.

The deck which overlooks Yellowstone Park and the river, features outdoor tables and chairs as well as additional seating and a gas grill under the deck. So come and stay with us, enjoy our 'Barn on the Banks', and make your vacation one you will remember.
**NOTE: There is an additional 3% Gardiner Resort Tax that you will be billed separately for if your stay is June through September.

- Your Hosts, Ken and Linda.

The Barn on the Banks is a great place to stay. The location is quiet and the views are wonderful. I was able to get night photographs of the Milky Way from the front porch!Hosts were very friendly and invited to see some black bears hanging in their tree!

Our second time here! For YNP, we won’t stay anywhere else! It’s SO clean. SO comfy. SO well maintained and has all the bells and whistles. The owner (private, not some yucky management company) came over in-person to let us know about black bear activity in the area. Perfect!!!!

This cutely decorated barn-house is packed with anything and everything you might need for your stay! The host was very quick in replying to questions or for suggestions. We especially loved discovering the "secret farm" under the porch. My whole family loved staying at such a unique and homely place while visiting Yellowstone.

Perfect location for our vacation to Yellowstone

This property was perfect for our Yellowstone vacation and had everything we needed for a great few days in Montana. My husband and son enjoyed fishing the Yellowstone River below the house in between our travels around the area. The bank is steep and long, but it was worth it to catch a few fish.

Yellowstone park view

Excellent stay and highly recommend. Super easy access to Yellowstone and so much easier to access the park than in other locations. We never had lines to enter like you do in West Yellowstone. The property itself is advertised but the photos don’t do it justice. The beds are comfortable and everything is well maintained. You can tell a lot of care went into the place. We loved sitting outside and watching the elk down by the river.

This property was beautiful and so well thought out! We traveled from Kansas with our 4 kids and there were so many items that were in the Barn that i left at home! As a mom who does all the packing and prepping for vacay i was so grateful for the freshly ground coffee, fishing poles and gear, detergent for the laundry and on and on! You can tell that so much thought and care went into the Barn. The views and location was perfect for a fun chill day fishing by river or going into the park. I could not recommend this getaway enough!

Wildlife Bonanza!

This property is located on the banks of the scenic Yellowstone River, overlooking downtown Gardiner. During our stay we had many backyard visits by the local wildlife wandering through. The home has all the amenities you’d ever need. We had traveled with a crockpot for meals end of day in the park. Didn’t need it. The property had one. We even baked. Highly recommend.

Relaxing home with great views!

We really enjoyed our stay at the barn! The house was well equipped with everything we wanted or needed for our stay. Comfy beds, very clean, great views, well stocked kitchen for cooking, etc. The hosts were very friendly & checked in with us to make sure we were comfortable. Our family of 5 loved the area & close access to YNP. We would definitely stay here again!
