Excellent location for enjoying Northern Yellowstone

Our family of 7 (5 adults, 1 child and 1 infant) plus our 2 dogs had a wonderful time here. There was plenty of space to spread out and the living room was comfortable for spending time with each other. We had a great vantage point of the Yellowstone River and watched bull elk gather their harems every night. The home is decorated beautifully with many pieces of one-of-a-kind stained glass art. My grandkids enjoyed sitting in the grass beneath the elm tree in the afternoons. The communal pool is located at Yellowstone Hot Springs, a great place to visit if you have time. We spent a lot of time in Gardiner and Yellowstone and this was a great place to call home base for a week!

Great location

The house is very charming. The view is amazing. The owners very responsive. Our trip was to go to Yellowstone Park and the house is in a perfect location. My suggestions to make it even better is to put some comfortable chairs in front of the house. The view is so amazing that we spent more time outside that inside of the house and definitely what they offer is not comfortable at all. However, if I have the chance to to back to that aérea I will rent it again. Highly recommended.

Yellowstone Vista

Fabulous rental! Close to the Park and beautifully decorated. Hosts are nice people to engage with if you choose, but extremely respectful of your privacy as they live close to the cabin. Stayed here several times and always look forward to returning!

Comfortable property just outside if Gardiner

Two friends shared this 3 bedroom home for 3 nights. It is a short 10 miles north of Gardiner and we used it as a base of operations to explore the northern section of Yellowstone. It had everything we needed and was exactly as described. Communication with Elenor was excellentexce

Lovely home with a view

We enjoyed our stay, location is about a 10 min drive from town and North entrance to Yellowstone park. If you don't want to be crowed by being in town and what a nice quiet getaway with a short drive to town and Yellowstone this house will be a good fit. The house was perfect for our family with spacious living room and dinning area that has a wonderful view.

Perfect place for our family

Very cute property. Lovely stained glass accents. This was perfect for our family of 5 adults + dog. I considered it an easy drive to the north entrance of Yellowstone. Great view across the river. Host had tons of info availabe and some interestng books, even an offer to loan bear spray. Driveway is a bit ruff, but I live on a dirt road so no biggie. Other reviewers complained about owners dogs barking at night but we never heard them. I would deffinately recommend this VRBO.

Spacious, secluded home, comfortable beds, convenient to Yellowstone

We greatly enjoyed our stay here. The main room was comfortable for our family of four. I liked the remote location where it felt like we were homesteaders on a secluded ranch, but with the convenience of only being 10 minutes from Gardiner and Yellowstone.

Lovely stay

Thanks so much for a terrific stay. The location was perfect for our Yellowstone explorations and we loved watching the elk out the front door. The host's stained glass was beautiful. We're especially grateful for the host's mention of the weekend herding of the rodeo grounds horses through town to Jardine! A real highlight!

Meet Yellowstone

The Graff's cabin was perfect for our long promised trip to introduce grandkids and their parents to Yellowstone. Cabin has everything needed for a comfortable week's VRBO stay. John and El were ideal hosts. Cabin is convenient to Gardiner, Mammoth, and all northern park points. Colors with a dusting of snow and lots of wildlife from antelope and bears to elk and mule deer but on a great show. We could not have asked for more!

Dissapointed

The communication of expectations was very lacking. I asked for rules for our pets abd was never given them yet was expected to follow them. I was reprimanded for leaving dirty linens when i was not told i needed to clean them. I was also reprimanded for leaving food when it was not communicated we needed to remove it ourselves. I am also being charged for items broken that we never broke. I was also asked to personally take a soiled quilt to the laundromat. The location and house are great but the host is horrible.

Stay near Gardiner

We were pleased with our stay at the unusual house near Gardiner. Like most folks we were headed for YNP each day of our stay and we were happy to come to the house after hiking and seeing the sights. The view from the front windows was so pleasant. It is well equipped with supplies one needs - bring your own bar soap if you are used to that. The host is an extremely talented stained glass artist and we loved seeing her work. We recommend this VRBO for families.
