About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire cabin to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Amazing Views! Air conditioning! Close to Yellowstone Park's North Entrance!

NEW: Enjoy a soak in the beautiful outdoor tiled geothermal pools at "Yellowstone Hot Springs" near the Corwin Springs bridge, only 4 miles from this home! An amazing setting above the Yellowstone River, with magnificent towering mountain views all around! (See pictures in photo gallery.) Open year-round.

New December 2024:
Decks have been replaced with Trex decking that doesn't require any maintenance.

YELLOWSTONE VACATION HOME: This home is only 11 miles from the north entrance of Yellowstone National Park! A new park entrance road is now permanently open, and you can visit all of Yellowstone Park from here. This is the only major park entrance open all year to normal vehicles. If you're looking for beautiful views in the quiet seclusion of pristine Montana surroundings, with access to an abundance of outdoor recreation and relaxation, you will be delighted with your stay at our Yellowstone Vacation Home. (Please note: This home is on a hill, well out of range of any seasonal river flooding. We have our own well with delicious pure water that is tested annually.)

We do recommend you bring a 4WD or AWD vehicle, which is necessary when there has been an extended period of rain, or snow.

You'll love the peace and quiet as you gaze at the mountains and the Yellowstone River while enjoying a meal or relaxing on the wrap-around deck. There you'll have a front row seat to magnificent sunsets over Paradise Valley in the crux of Yankee Jim Canyon, often with spectacular colors. A herd of elk can often be seen in the field below, grazing in the morning and evening (see picture). This home is ideal for wildlife enthusiasts. Bring binoculars or a scope to enhance the experience.

This 1200 sq. ft. 3 bedroom/1 bathroom cedar home sits on a one acre property that is fully fenced and gated, and has a nicely maintained lawn. Wildlife photographers, this place is for you! You are likely to see mule deer, elk, antelope, bald eagles, big horn sheep, rabbits and many bird species! You might also see an occasional group of rafters floating the river below. We have a fire pit in the yard where you can cook s'mores and enjoy family time (firewood provided.) Challenge each other to a friendly game of horseshoes on the lawn. (Horseshoe pits are set at a distance for families to enjoy.)

There are many fun things to do in the area year round. Fishing, hiking, mountain biking, horseback riding and river rafting trips are available nearby. Walking or biking on the quiet gravel access road to this home is a scenic adventure in itself.

The three bedrooms sleep 6 to 8 people, with one queen-size bed, 2 twin beds, a bunk bed, and 2 fold-up foam pads. Features include high-speed WiFi via Starlink, central forced air heating and air conditioning throughout, a wood burning fireplace, washer/dryer, flat screen TV with DVDs and Dish satellite TV, plus a CD player. There are a variety of games, DVDs and CDs for your use. We also have a library of interesting books about local area attractions, children's books and novels.
A cozy cabin feeling is engendered by the original fir woodwork on most walls and ceilings. The spacious downstairs bathroom features two sinks and a shower-tub. The kitchen is fully equipped, including a glass top range, dish washer, microwave, large refrigerator and a gas grill provided on the deck. This home is well supplied - we provide linens, towels, a hair dryer, all paper goods, and various soaps, trash can liners, etc. The comfort of our guests is important to us!

Please note: the bathroom is located downstairs and the three bedrooms are located on the second floor. For more information see photos of stairs. If anyone has a problem navigating stairs it's best to book a vacation home where all bedrooms are on the first floor.

We recommend that you book raft trips, horseback riding, guided fishing trips, guided mountain biking, and other activities well in advance, with the local providers in Gardiner and Paradise Valley.

Hunters are also welcome at Yellowstone Vacation Home. This area of Montana, just north of Yellowstone Park, receives hundreds of elk migrating out of Yellowstone Park each winter. There is also a year-round resident herd of elk in the mountains just above the cabin, and mule deer are abundant in the area. Hunting, in-season, is open to the public on all of the vast U.S. Forest Service lands that surround the cabin for miles. You can literally just walk out the gate and hunt in the surrounding Forest Service lands. (License required.)

Please note: we have installed a ring camera on the outside wall by the front door so we can monitor the weather, and for security purposes. It is the only one on the entire property.

If you're looking for wildlife sightings close to the cabin and beautiful views in the quiet seclusion of pristine Montana surroundings, with easy access to the attractions of Yellowstone Park, and the fishing and white water rafting opportunities of Yellowstone River, you will be delighted with your stay at our Yellowstone Vacation Home!

Yellowstone stay
Very comfortable. The outside lighting was very nice. Loved the fenced yard but I would have cleared inside the fence and had grass all around to help Deter the rattlesnakes. And the road was challenging coming and going. Bushes could stand to be trimmed at the road and driveway so you can see oncoming vehicles.. other then tath it’s a very nice and quiet place. And we enjoyed sitting on the deck watching the rafters on the river.

We just had another wonderful stay at this property- so relaxing and peaceful and absolutely beautiful views! All you could want is provided!! It is great for both relaxing at the house or as a base for exploring Yellowstone and the surrounding area! We are always so sad when it’s time to go home! It’s my favorite place to get away to and we always make plans to return again!! Thank you Bruce and Magdalena for another memorable trip!!!

We had a great stay! The views from the house were outstanding and it was just far enough off the beaten path. The location was peaceful. The house was very clean and equipped with everything you could want or need. Our dog loved exploring the yard. Wildlife was plentiful. We saw more elk and antelope from the house than we did in the Park. Communication with the homeowners was excellent. Would definitely stay here again in the future!

Amazing Remote Location
Wow - the home is just like the pictures! The view from the back is just breathtaking and so peaceful. The home has everything you need as far as kitchen, bath and bedrooms. It is a little farther from the entrance to Yellowstone than we expected, but worth it. Great price and great communication with owner.

Perfect homebase for exploring Yellowstone
We spent the week exploring Yellowstone and were grateful for the authentic Montana experience this home provided! It was clean, clearly well-cared for, and provided a quiet, peaceful homebase for our evenings and early mornings. We especially loved hearing coyote and great horned owls at night, and the proximity to the Yellowstone Hot Springs (we got a 12 pack of passes so our family of three could visit four times over the course of the week). The owners were very easy to communicate with, responsive to all of our questions in advance and while we were at the property. We couldn't have asked for a better, more magical experience - five stars, highly recommend!

Perfect location if you are looking for solitude!
Amazing location and views! The drive in was not nearly as bad as I expected. It is a very well maintained dirt road. The cabin was clean and a perfect size for 5 of us. Thankfully, there were step stools as the cabinets and cupboards are all VERY high. We joked that it was made for giants. :) I can't say enough how much we enjoyed the views from the deck. We will definitely stay again.

Stocked Cabin But Treacherous Road & Steps
The owners are amazing and responsive, and have this cabin well stocked! It has a beautiful view and is quite secluded. If you book this be prepared to drive about 15 minutes on a narrow, quite bumpy road leading to the cabin. There are many blind corners and is quite dangerous, especially after a rain and when approaching other vehicles around these blind corners. If you rarely want to leave the cabin, this fact is not a huge issue. For those of us who do leave and return, you must add an extra half hour for each trip going on this dangerous road. Also, the steps to the second floor are quite steep and twisted and one has to be extremely careful, holding the rail every time going to the bedrooms. I feel these two details should have been added into the description. Otherwise it was a great experience!

Beautiful home - perfect fit for our family
Bruce and Magdalena, Thanks for letting us use your beautiful home. We loved it. It fit our family perfectly. We also loved being away from it all and having some space to ourselves. The road was a bit challenging at first but we soon mastered it. The kids got to see lots of animals and loved swimming in Boiling River. Thanks again~

Quiet respite
A bit off the beaten path, but worth it. After often crowded, busy days in Yellowstone, returning to the quiet and solitude was amazing. There was a heard of over 300 elk on the drive to the main road. Pronghorn in the field below and bunnies everywhere. Very nice. Thank you,

Spectacular view
Thank you so much for sharing your home with us! Nothing like feeling ‘at home’ on vacation. The elk and the view were spectacular. We were lucky enough to witness four wolves and a grizzly posturing over an elk carcass along the Lamar. Hiking into Yellowstone’s back country is a ‘must’ as well as fishing the majors and minors - Slough Creek, Lamar River, Firehole, Gibbon and Yellowstone. A great time was had by all…

Wow was the word when we arrived
Perfect Mountain retreat, with privacy and nature surrounding the house. The fenced yard was perfect for letting our dog roam safely while we sat on the deck and enjoyed the view. The home was sparkling clean, and was well equipped with everything we needed. There was a nice grocery store in nearby Gardiner. Each day we would head out to the close by Yellowstone North Entrance and see something new. Then go back to chill and fix dinner. This house provided two things that the Park accommodations don’t provide which are AC and Internet.

Nice property with fully fenced yard
Very nice property with fully fenced yard that surrounds house front and back yard. We saw a mountain goat on hill from our view in back yard, rabbit in front yard and heard coyote at night from distance. View was very pretty. Very clean inside property and was clean outside too. Nice deck with gas barbecue. We barbecued hot dogs, hamburgers and steak while watching gorgeous views outside.

First visit, but not the last
What a perfect place to stay! Everything was so clean and so well stocked! We really enjoyed the solitude of the cabin while still being close enough to the park to go every day. Thank you for sharing your lovely home! We will definitely be back and can’t think of a better place to stay! We hiked in the park and around the house as well. The huge herd of elk that we saw moving from the valley was breathtaking. We got here in 80 degree weather and experienced snow and 28 degree weather on our last day here. Montana/Wyoming has captured our Louisiana hearts! Thanks for everything!

Yellowstone trip
If you like peace and quiet this is the place for you. The home was located in the mountains outside the north entrance to Yellowstone. Make sure you have a SUV because the road is rough going in (although surveyors were seen and we were told the town was going to do something about the road in the future. There are beautiful sunsets from the back deck and gorgeous stars at night. The kitchen is stocked with more spices and condiments than any other Vrbo and the home was extremely clean!!!! The washer and dryer are a plus. Wish we would have seen more wild life at the home but we saw plenty in the park. Make sure you drive the Bear Tooth Hwy. It is outstanding!

Awesome accomodations
We were very pleased with our cabin which is located quite a distance off the main road on the Old Yellowstone Trail giving us the solitude we hoped for. It had everything we needed and then some. The view of the canyon and surrounding hills was magnificent. Our only negative was a very step set of shallow stairs to the bedrooms upstairs with the bathroom downstairs. Bruce and Magdalena were very helpful when we needed an extra day and thankfully the house was available. Hubert, the groundskeeper, greeted us on arrival and offered valuable info to the house and area. The kitchen was stocked beyond expectation. And plenty of firewood and kindling was set out for our rather cool mornings. Thank you for making you stay so enjoyable!

Fantastic Getaway
This place is a fantastic getaway which is not too far from the north entrance of Yellowstone NP.... approx 20 min. The location is secluded with a great view of the valley, mountains, and the Yellowstone River. An elk herd visits the hills every evening and antelope were even spotted one morning. The trout fishing is great with several spots to access the river nearby. Keep in mind that this location is a little challenging to get to, best by truck or SUV as the terrain is mountainous. The house is well stocked, the wifi speed was great. It was clean and more than adequate for our family of 5. The kitchen was great for keeping our clan fed, allowing us to avoid paying the high prices at the local eateries. (High priced and mediocre food). The laundry facilities were helpful, but the stairs leading to the bedrooms are steep and may not be ideal for someone older or with disabilities though. In the end, we thought this was a perfect location for exploring the park and getting some much needed R&R.

Secluded home with all modern amenities
Dear Bruce and Magdalena, Thank you for the use of your beautiful home. The house has that rare combination of seclusion and all modern amenities. We were very comfortable here and would love to come back again. We saw antelopes and elk on the way to the house and many other animals in YNP. The deck and views were amazing. Also amazing was having heating, AC, hot water, etc., out in the wilds of Montana. Remote and convenient at the same time. When we arrived the house was spotless. Your housekeeper does an excellent job, and the yard was nicely kept. Also, when the coffeepot malfunctioned, the delivery of a new one was much faster then I expected considering the logistics involved. Very responsive and completely unexpected. As hosts the two of you did everything possible to make our stay enjoyable. We had a wonderful time and had everything we needed.
