About this property

Electric Peak Cabin in Yellowstone Park

NORTH PARK ENTRANCE AT GARDINER. This Yellowstone Cabin Rental Is On Private Acreage Five Miles From The Park's North Gate with the Best Wildlife Watching And Cutthroat Trout Fishing!

Charming cabin built in 2009 with two bedrooms that sleeps 5 located just five minutes from Yellowstone Park's North Entrance on several acres of private property. Perfect for travelers who want easy access to the famous Northern Range and Lamar Valley with its bison, elk, deer, wolves, bears, AND fishing for world-famous Yellowstone cutthroat trout!

This beautiful cabin is unlike all other vacation rental properties in the area. Lying in an extremely private location just above Highway 89 north of Gardiner, Montana, and the Roosevelt Arch, the cabin is easily accessed by a well-maintained, short, 300 yard-long Private Drive.

This setting provides you with total solitude and isolation from any hustle and bustle of the busy roadways leading to/from the park. However, at the same time, when needed, you are just minutes away from restaurants, the market, and shops in Gardiner or a bit further away in Livingston and Bozeman.

Built on a log frame, this cabin has all modern amenities yet has a great amount of rustic appeal including beautiful hardwood floors. It has enormous windows giving you unmatched views of Yellowstone's Electric Peak, Devil's Slide, Dome Mountain, and many other spectacular geological features. Wildlife abound here and deer, elk, pronghorn antelope, bighorn sheep, or bison are seen on the meadows and mountain slopes near the cabin. Often during the spring and fall, they are standing right in the cabin's yard. No-where else in the northern Rockies will you find wildlife this abundant and close in a natural setting.

Horses graze nearby, and the Yellowstone River, home to world-class trout fishing, leaves the park and passes just a few hundred yards below you.

There are many access sites to the Yellowstone River very near to the cabin, one within easy walking distance (that is a very great fishing spot...just ask our boys!).

Being near Gardiner, our cabin is at the home of the Yellowstone Forever, a long-standing educational institute offering numerous courses in the park. The Electric Peak Cabin is a perfect place to stay when visiting and attending these courses.

We loved the cabin. The front porch was a great place to watch the sun set over the mountains, look for wildlife, or have our morning coffee. Todd stopped by while we were arriving and gave us lots of helpful advice. The location was perfect, only 5 minutes from Garndiner and the north gate of Yellowstone. We also enjoyed a trip to the hot springs just 3 miles down the road.

Perfect location and wonderful host. While small this two bedroom cabin was located just a few miles from the entrance to Yellowstone National Park and only about 1.5 hours away from the Bozeman airport. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and the constant elk in the yard!

The property description and directions were very accurate. Todd is an amazing and responsive host. The property was an easy drive outside Gardiner and worked well for us to drive back to Lamar Valley each day. The unit and beds were very comfortable. We were able to see large herds of elk very near the house! Highly recommend this property and host! Wi-Fi was very reliable and home was very clean. l

Checking in was very easy, we arrived a little early and were able to access early! Exactly what we wanted for vacation… little cabin in the mountains and to be able to have coffee in the morning enjoying the view of the mountains. Master bed could be updated but overall it made the start of vacation awesome!! Great location to access Yellowstone. Todd was a good host & came and talked with us when checking on horses. Would definitely stay there again & have recommended to others already!
