About this property
Relaxing and Private Base to Explore Yellowstone National Park and SW Montana.
Welcome to Grizzly Meadows Cottage. Located at the base of Tom Miner basin, this serene and private custom-built timber frame home is only a 30-minute drive to YNP north entrance and Gardiner.
The house has rustic charm with easy indoor and outdoor living. There are enough modern amenities to provide comfort and relaxation after a day of exploring and adventuring. Alternatively, this would also be an ideal retreat location.
Grizzly Meadows is tucked into a stand of Cottonwood trees, which creates a sense of privacy and getting-away-from-it-all while still being close to many of the most popular Southwest Montana attractions. The walkway from the carpark to the front porch enhances the sense of entering a private retreat. It is flanked by the chink-log cabin and Cottonwoods, with a wooden bridge that crosses the irrigation channel and leads to rock steps and the front porch.
The house can comfortably accommodate up to six guests in two upstairs bedrooms and a twin sofa couch in the downstairs living area. Each upstairs bedroom has a queen bed, and the large main bedroom also has a portable twin bed. Both bedrooms have closets with hangers and clothes storage. The full bathroom with a claw foot bath/shower combo is also upstairs.
The open-plan downstairs has a comfortable living area with south-facing windows, a dining area with a large table that easily accommodates six guests, and a well-appointed kitchen. It also has a firebox, a laundry cubby with a washing machine, and a half bath. The house has wifi and a smart TV. There is also a dryer available for guest use.
The kitchen has a range of amenities for your cooking needs. This includes dishware, silverware, glassware, cookware, a full refrigerator with a top freezer, a toaster, a kitchen range, and a dishwasher. Kitchen appliances include a drip coffee machine, food processor, microwave, and a range of bakeware.
The outdoor living areas comprise a front porch with seating, a swing seat, a table and chairs, and a BBQ. A Cottonwood stand protects it. You can access a patio/deck with an outdoor dining table from the back door. From the deck, on the sunny south side of the house, you can see the Tom Miner basin and the mountains above Yankee Jim Canyon. It is also adjacent to pastureland, where herds of mule deer and elk are often seen grazing.
The base price is for up to four guests. We charge $25 extra per person per night for up to six guests.

Why they chose this property
The timber-frame house is in a private rural neighborhood at the base of Tom Miner Basin in the heart of Paradise Valley, 30 minutes from the north gate of Yellowstone National Park and the historic town of Gardiner.
It is located in the heart of Paradise Valley, which is flanked by the Gallatin Range and Absaroka Mountains, and home to the iconic Yellowstone River. One side of the house is flanked by a stand of Cottonwood trees, which provides incredible privacy and a sense of being in nature. From the back patio/deck, the view opens up, and you can see Tom Miner Basin and the mountains that lead to Yankee Jim Canyon and towards YNP.
After adventuring and exploring the local area, enjoy peaceful downtime in a unique area bordering Yellowstone National Park, with no access roads or crowds. There is often fantastic wildlife viewing at the top of Tom Miner Basin, a 10-minute drive from the cabin.
We are a 30-minute drive to Gardiner, the northern entrance to Yellowstone Park. Several raft companies operate from Gardiner, as well as great eating and drinking places and plenty of gift shopping.
Yellowstone Hot Springs in Corwin Springs is 20 minutes south and 20 minutes north; you can visit the historic Chico Hot Spring and enjoy a fancy dinner or a bar meal afterward. The tiny town of Emigrant, 15 minutes north on H89, with the Old Saloon, BBQ place, live music venue, and Sage Resort, offers an impressive amount of live music and good eating and drinking all year round.
So, come enjoy everything this area has to offer, based at a peaceful and private retreat to start and end your day.
