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!

Great cabin. Great location. Except for the road being a little rough getting to the cabin, everything else is wonderful. Very well appointed cabin, has everything you need. Very peaceful location. Great for families. Great for dogs. I walked my dog for miles on the road every day. Our family vacation was fantastic.

Just What We Wanted - Views and Access to Yellowstone

You can’t beat the views and solitude this house offers. Sitting on the porch with a cup of coffee watching the rabbits and chipmunks scamper in the yard - perfection. Great access to Gardiner and the north entrance to Yellowstone. We even took a drive over to Idaho and did some exploring. For sure you should have a 4wheel or all wheel drive vehicle- the road to the property is winding and has some steep spots. Kitchen was well stocked and the house was cozy. We would for sure stay here again!

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.

3rd Time there. What more do you need to know?

This is our 3rd time here and it never fails to impress. 1st of all the drive along the Old Yellowstone road is getting rough but I believe that is being addressed. You will need a good ground clearance vehicle. But, it's comfortable, has good zircon, great Wifi, beautiful views. Loads of Elk, Deer and I think we saw a bear! but it was fleeting. Easy 20min access to Yellowstone Park, 15 mins from Gardiner and lovely walks (take the Bear Spray) This is such a great place. (if they added a hot tub we'd probably never leave) It's going to be a while before we can come back but it's already in the planning.

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!

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.

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…

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.
