About this property

Bird's-Eye view of the Yellowstone River.

New with a View! Day trip into Yellowstone National Park and spend peaceful evenings relaxing on the deck of this new, two-bedroom, above-garage, 1000 sq ft, apartment overlooking the Yellowstone River. See ospreys and bald eagles fish from the river and watch elk and deer graze along the shore. Or melt away the day's stress with a soak in the mineral rich pools of Yellowstone Hot Springs, just a mile away. Afterward, cut the chill by lighting the gas firepit on the deck and settle in for a night-sky spectacular. The stars feel close enough to touch. Enjoy a leisurely morning and watch the sun kiss the top of Cinnabar Mountain. Go to the Park or take the day off from driving and keep it local. Escape the crowds and watch wildlife and songbirds from your deck, book a fishing or rafting trip on the river or a horseback ride in the nearby mountains. This vacation home is easy to find; just off the highway, 9 miles north of Yellowstone Park and Gardiner's restaurants and gift shops.

Pictures does not do this place justice

Unreal view from the porch. The place is beautiful inside and out. The beds are really comfortable. Bathrobes provided if you want to use the hot springs up the street. Everything in the place was spotless and brand new. It’s hard to say if Yellowstone or this place is more beautiful. They really made this place top notch.

Amazing

I really don't want to say how amazing this location is because we will be booking again and I don't want to compete for time.We loved this apartment. The hosts were great, the space and amenities were spot on, the view amazing and listening to the river at night an added bonus.

Perfect for us

The view from the top deck overlooking the river was perfect for us. Pack your binoculars bc the wildlife is here just like in the park. Everything you need is provided by the host except your perishable food. The town grocery does close @ 10pm so plan accordingly to get your groceries ahead or take food with you if it's possible you'll stay in the valleys of the park watching wildlife until dusk. Absolutely will stay here again. This is just out of town worth Gardiner being the best of the entrance towns for Yellowstone imo.

Our trip was not ideal due to my infant daughter getting sick and requiring hospitalization, BUT the VRBO is truly one of the best that I have ever stayed at. Incredible views. Very clean. The host is incredibly kind and accommodating. Although our trip was unfortunately cut short, we will without a doubt be returning in the future and plan to stay here again.

Great stay and very friendly hosts. Highly recommend when visiting Yellowstone. The deck overlooking the river is amazing but note you are on the highway so isn't super quiet. We used the provided gas grill and made a great meal in a very well appointed kitchen. I contacted the host for a couple items and she was very responsive and accommodating. Highly recommended!

Amazing!

Beautiful apartment, beautiful surroundings. Words just don’t do it justice. This is THE BEST vrbo/airbnb we’ve ever stayed at. And so well stocked - they thought of everything, even bear spray! We had an amazing week at the park, visiting family in Bozeman and Livingston, and relaxing outside with the river view. And the night sky!… I could go on. The only downside was that the time flew by and we didn’t want to leave. Thank you so much for a great week!

The property is lovely, just as described, with views over the Yellowstone River about 10 minutes north of Gardiner, which is the northern gateway to Yellowstone Park. The property is very comfortable and well equipped and tge hosts, Hali and Brian were outstanding. Highly recommended.

Outstanding home, superbly equipped

We loved this fabulous property and it's views over Yellowstone River. Hali has provided literally everything a renter could wish for. 10 minutes out of Gardiner (which has great eateries) so very peaceful and relaxing. We especially liked the firepit in the evening as we watched the wildlife with a glass of wine! Would love to return.

June in Yellowstone, amazing stay!

This property was incredible! Probably the best rental we've every stayed at. Halie was communicative and super helpful. She went above and beyond with stocking the house with every minor thing that you might need. Evenings on the deck were delightful: watching the river and wildlife, enjoying the fireplace, spending time with family. The apartment was the perfect size for our family of four. Everything was incredibly clean and well-maintained. We only wish that we had stayed longer!!

About the host

Hosted by Hali Kirby

Host profile image
I grew up in Iowa, but for the past 25 years, I have made my home here in Gardiner, Montana. I am a junior high/high school teacher, and my husband is a fish biologist in Yellowstone National Park. We feel like the luckiest people in the world.

My husband and I built our home 21 years ago, and we recently decided to add a garage with an apartment on top. This is my first month as a VRBO host, and the best part is meeting the folks from around the world. I also really enjoy sharing the beautiful place I call home.

Gazing over the Yellowstone River as the sun goes down is absolutely my favorite thing to do. But, I also enjoying hiking, paddleboarding the river, rowing our drift boat while my husband fishes, and loving up my dogs. Sitting on the deck with a hot cup of tea and watching the birds or reading a book are also favorites. My husband loves photography, especially wildlife photography and playing ice hockey, so winter is his favorite season. Yellowstone in the winter is spectacular and something everyone should experience at least once.

In general, my husband and I are pretty quiet people who enjoy the wonders of the natural world.

Why they chose this property

Neither one of us ever dreamed we would live on the bank of the Yellowstone River, but it is a privilege we do not take for granted. Aside from the view, we really appreciate the ease of living just off of highway 89. Many of our friends live in more seclusion, which has its benefits, but not having to drive a dusty, bumpy dirt road is a real blessing.

What makes this property unique

This morning, like many mornings, I sat on my deck and watched a small herd of cow elk and their calves cross the Yellowstone River onto the bottom land just below our house. The calves mewling and the cows calling encouragement to their babies is a sound I never tire of. Each morning brings a new splendor. The river is a life-line to a lot of wildlife, especially during the heat of the summer. In the winter, the Big Horn sheep, pronghorn antelope, mule deer, and sometimes bison graze just across the river. It seems unreal to me that I live in such an amazing place.

It seems like a little thing, but private parking makes my property unique. I enjoy the ease of living outside of Gardiner. Gardiner is growing and it's busy, and simply finding a parking spot is just, well, not all that simple. Too much traffic, too many people; it's nice to escape to the solitude of our property. I know you will enjoy mornings and evenings on the deck, just as much as I do. Whatever happens in between is just a bonus, in my opinion.
