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.

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.

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.

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!

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!

Perfect vacation home
We loved our stay here! It was the perfect home for the six of us, lots of beautiful views and room to spread out. The home is amazing! We loved the huge windows and being on the river. We enjoyed the town of Gardiner and being near the north entrance of the park too. (The home could have been deep cleaned a little better though. Nevertheless, we would stay here again in a heartbeat !)

Incredible View
Owner is amazing. She checked in to make sure we got in with no problems and checked in part way through the week. The house is beautiful. It was great for our family of 7. Especially our kids (ages 8,6,4,2,1) the backyard is fenced in and there was plenty of space to spread out and enjoy being there. Only a few minutes to Yellowstone or just to go to town. We saw wildlife every day we were there with two days the elk staying in the backyard. Incredible place to stay. Can’t wait to come back.

Paradise Valley Perfection
The home is perfect in every way. You are in the middle of the wildlife, overlooking the river and waking to the view of the mountain. The location is 10 minutes max from the park entrance. Enough to be away from the hustle and bustle but close enough to dive right in when desired. The house is perfect for a family and we will be returning with ours. Thank you for your part in making our escape great.

Shhhhhhh- Our Little Secret!
BEST VRBO EXPERIENCE EVER. The pictures do not do it justice. This little slice of heaven has it all: location, comfort + luxury, helpful and responsive hosts, and every amenity you can ask for. I am ready to move in and take up residence :) This home has a well-provisioned kitchen, and we enjoyed making meals gathered around the island. The bedrooms are comfortable. The living room is perfectly appointed and conducive to hanging out and reliving the day's adventures around the wood-burning fire. Not to mention the fabulous views and waking up to the sight of wildlife strolling along the river. I cannot wait to come back!!!

Perfect peacefulness
Went way over our expectations! From the beginning the property owner was excellent to work with made sure that we had everything that we needed. The home is situated right outside of Yellowstone. The experience with this place - you have to go and experience it for yourself. The town of Gardiner alone is. Awesome. We will definitely be returning with our whole family next time. Would give more than five stars if possible!

Great place to relax
What a beautiful location! The house sits right on the river and allows you to watch the rafters go by. House was clean and comfortable for humans and dogs alike. The fenced yard is an added bonus. It’s quite nice to visit a Vrbo where the kitchen cabinets seem organized and the dishes in them are clean. I rated the location and neighborhood as 4 stars solely because if you are visiting with a dog, there is no easy way to walk out the front door and take your dog for a walk - since the house is located right on the main road. If you don’t have a dog or don’t walk your dog, this is probably not a problem at all!

Amazing getaway for our family vacation...
This property was beautiful and so very well maintained. The owner was great in the communication process and provided a very welcoming atmosphere in the home. All the essentials you could want for a vacation were available to use. The views couldn't be beat and the wildlife watching from the indoors and back decks was incredible. Almost every day we had a bald eagle visit us to go fishing. There were a couple of roaming bison across the river and a herd of elk played in the yard most nights (even blocked the driveway on us one night!). Our group of 5 adults had more than enough space to spread out and we enjoyed some family meals around the large dining table. My husband commented that this was his favorite property we have ever rented and that he wants to come back again. Don't hesitate to book this location - you won't be disappointed!!

Exceeded expectations!
The pictures online did not do this property justice. The views of the mountains and the Yellowstone river will take your breath away. The serene walk down the path to the private beach on the Yellowstone River was a nice surprise! The Highway was a little bit distracting at night if you want to look at the stars, but it was not a dealbreaker by any means. The communication with the owner was top notch. The check in process were super easy. Loved the layout of the house. House was stocked with accessories to aid in convenient cooking (Insta pot, crockpot, grill, awesome I’ll coffee maker). The Grizzly Grill food trailer across the street was a nice visit. The Flying Pig rafting tours and Yellowstone national park north gate entrance were just down the road. We would definitely visit is home again and would highly recommend it to others!

Beautiful Views and Great House
The property has a beautiful master suite with a king bed and a room with two twin beds upstairs and an additional three bedrooms with queen beds downstairs. A pack-and-play and baby gate were provided (we did not need them but it was very thoughtful that the host provided them). The kitchen was beautiful, large, and well stocked with both dishes and cookware. The view from the house and back porch of the Yellowstone River and Electric Peak were absolutely stunning. We spotted a bald eagle in the river and were able to get a closer look with the spotting scope the owners provided. Each evening we were entertained by a herd of elk right outside of the fenced area of the yard. The living room and bedrooms did not have TVs but the family room downstairs did have a nice TV. The internet was slow, however, I hope if you are at this property you are not spending your time watching TV or surfing the net! The property has easy access to the north gate of Yellowstone National Park and is only about 5 miles from the gate. We had a very nice and memorable stay at this property and will stay there again if I am in the area again.

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.
