Electric Peak Retreat at Yellowstone National Park North Entrance

November 2022 Update: At last!! Let the adventures resume! After the epic flood of 2022, the Park took on the monumental task of rebuilding the entrance road into the Park through Gardiner and it is finally finished. Yellowstone Park's North Entrance is back in business and this home is the perfect home base for your visit.

*Please consider supporting our incredible town following this unexpected season.*
______________________________________

Electric Peak Retreat offers a special experience for visitors coming to the Yellowstone area. It is nestled on 3 acres of land with 300 feet of Yellowstone River frontage that provides private river access. It sits just below Electric Peak, an 11,000 foot peak in the north end of Yellowstone Park, the views and surrounding landscape are awe-inspiring.

LOCATION: 5 miles from the Roosevelt Arch marking the North Entrance to Yellowstone National Park in Gardiner, MT. It's incredibly convenient to serve as a base camp for all of your explorations of the Park and surrounding area (see updates above about access). You truly feel connected to the beautiful nature around you. There is a great natural hot spring located less than 3 miles from the house as well.

The town of Gardiner is working to become members of the Dark Sky Association because of the incredible night skies in the area. They really will take your breath away! Of course, you may have to share the beach with the elk.

There are lots of recreational opportunities outside of the Park: miles and miles of hiking trails, whitewater and scenic rafting, horseback riding, e-bike tours, wildlife tours, fishing, shopping, restaurants and food trucks, scenic drives, soaking in Yellowstone Hot Springs, Chico Hot Springs, and local music venues.

DESCRIPTION: Nature often puts on a show for our guests. The Yellowstone River is rich with wildlife and activity, especially as the sun is coming up. You can soak it all in from the comfort of the living room or deck as you have your morning coffee. Elk, deer, otters, bald eagles, osprey, coyotes are common guests!

The main floor has an open floor plan with a large kitchen that adjoins a roomy dining area and Living Room, ideal for gatherings and games. The deck is accessed off of the kitchen and provides a wonderful spot to sit and watch the sun drop behind Electric Peak as you relax with your family and friends. A gas grill is provided on the deck for creating true summertime outdoor meals.

Also on the main level is a wonderful master bedroom (king bed) with an ensuite full bathroom. It’s not often that a bathroom has such incredible views, but this one does! Guests will enjoy the soaking tub as well as the walk-in shower in the master bath. A cozy bonus reading room with a single twin bed sits just outside the master bedroom. This would work well for a small child who wants to sleep nearby. A half bath is available off of the great room.

The lower level is all about a casual and relaxed vibe. It is a walkout onto the yard. There are 3 bedrooms (each with a queen bed) and a full bath with a shower/tub combo. A great family room with large screen TV and comfy couches is downstairs as well. Laundry with washer and dryer.

The home sleeps 9 comfortably if you include the bonus room’s twin bed. All of the mattresses and linens are high quality since getting good sleep can make all the difference on vacation. There are 3 bathrooms.

The kitchen is fully stocked with all you will need to make most meals.

NOTE: This home is incredibly special to me because it served as a home for my family of 3 boys up until now. I have managed rentals in the area for other owners and have received only 5 star reviews for my service. Now it is time to offer my own home and I hope that it provides a wonderful place to relax and share time with family and friends while inspiring you to get out and explore the incredible area of Yellowstone. Pets are an option with approval and small fee.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this house. Great location Every room has windows overlooking the river and mountains where we saw elk everyday. The house was very comfortable and nicely furnished. Everything we needed was there. We were concerned at first that it is off the main road but it was a non issue.

We didn’t want to leave
Our group of 6 college friends had a fabulous 4 night stay. The property is beautiful with amazing views all around. It is a perfect base to access the Yellowstone through the north entrance. It had everything we needed to rest, cook and enjoy ourselves while enjoying the views and wildlife. I will definitely book this property next time I return to Yellowstone.

Location and comfort
Electric Peak Retreat has it all. The home was so well equipped; the beds were incredibly comfortable; the views were amazing; the location to the quaint town of Gardiner was very convenient. Our family of 6 adults and one infant had more than enough room to spread out or gather together.

Loved our stay in this well-appointed home and grounds just north of Gardiner town center with near access to Yellowstone National Park. Stunning views from all rooms. Excellent kitchen and accoutrements, comfortable beds with nice linens, no clutter, excellent laundry, wonderful games and cozy spaces for children. Spotless. Hope to stay again. Many thanks.

A family trip we are all really looking forward to after reading the reviews and seeing the pictures yet the reality still exceeded expectations! Beautiful thought out home with lots of indoor and outdoor space to enjoy the scenery and wildlife. The volume of wildlife incredible. Herds of over 200 elk, bald eagles, red fox, etc.

Beautiful Space & Gracious Host
Such a beautiful space and location, and only minutes from the north entrance of Yellowstone. Breathtaking views from the home. Elk herds made their way down from the mountains each night, making the spotting scope that was in the home invaluable. We had the time of our lives!

Loved everything about the house. Downstairs was a little cold, but it’s Montana in February! Warmed up nicely once we could get a fire going. Fun to watch the coyotes and elk across the river every morning. Hope to come back!

Awesome propertyy
This house has a great location (5 minutes to pick up groceries at Gardiner Market and 10 minutes to the park entrance). There are many amenities like a couple of nice coolers for packing lunches, very well stocked kitchen, and a great backyard view (saw about 25 elk in the backyard on one evening). The WiFi was better than I expected (not perfect but not a deal breaker). I highly recommend this house if you’re coming to Yellowstone vacation.

The location to Yellowstone was awesome! Being just outside of the town of Gardiner made the locaton seem a bit rural and private. The property had a well stocked kitchen for cooking for a crowd. The rooms were spacious. The views were amazing.

This property has the best views and is the best VRBO property I have stayed. We had a small issue with the Wi-Fi at first but Sandy was on it and had it fixed within 24 hours and kept us up to date on the progress. This property is beautiful and it has that welcome home feeling. If I every get a chance to go back I would love to stay at this property again.

I agree with the previous reviews - this is the best VRBO we've stayed at! Spacious, comfortable, very well-equipped kitchen, and incredibly clean. The location is beautiful and very convenient to Yellowstone. I was delighted to find not just lots of games and DVDs to entertain the kids, but also a fully stocked bookshelf! Sandy has worked hard to make this place a homey respite for those of us on vacation!
