Elk Haven House - Less than 5 min from Yellowstone Park! Beautiful views!

Beautiful and quiet 3 bedroom 2 bath home that comfortably sleeps 6, and is located less than 5 minutes from Yellowstone Park! Also, it’s a short walk from the property to access Gardiner’s downtown restaurants and shops! The property offers a perfect combination for guests; a quiet location away from the summer crowds joined with a close proximity to Yellowstone, Gardiner proper, and hiking trails. Wildlife is common in the area and neighborhood, so don't be surprised if you see elk, bison, deer, a fox, or bighorn sheep on or near the property.

The house has a 4 zone mini split AC/heat pump system to help keep a comfortable indoor temperature year round. The living room and each bedroom have their own dedicated AC/Heat pump wall mounted mini split unit. This system allows guests to individually set their desired bedroom and living room temperatures. Relax and sleep in comfort all year long! On those extra cold winter nights, there is a kitchen heater, along with baseboard heaters in the living room and bedrooms to provide extra warmth if needed.

Luxury vinyl plank flooring installed throughout the main level of the house. The house has a fully stocked kitchen including an electric range/oven, coffee maker, refrigerator, dishwasher, microwave, etc. Downstairs there is a washer and dryer for guests, along with a card table, tv, and dvd player.

After a long day in the park viewing wildlife or hiking, relax in the sauna or hot tub under the stars. Large backyard patio with chairs, table, fire pit, picnic bench, and bbq to help relax and enjoy the outdoors. Space X Starlink satellite WIFI is provided in addition to a living room 65" Samsung smart TV that is connected to a DVD/Blu-ray player.

Come visit Yellowstone and relax in the comfort of a home away from your home! Plenty of local activities including wildlife viewing, hiking, rafting, fishing, hot springs, horseback riding, etc.

Loved every minute!
This home was a delight to stay in. Great attention was given to making sure any thing needed was there. We spent our days in Yellowstone and then came home to comfortable furniture to rest and be ready for tomorrow. The host was great! Thanks!

Wonderful location, you can't beat it.
Cozy, clean, and fun! Everything a family getaway should be. Days in the park evenings spent around the table eating, playing games, watching movies, reminiscing over the day in the sauna and hot tub. Simply ideal!

5 stars plus !!
Elkhaven is a well kept, well stocked home in a great area close to the north entrance. Mark was very responsive to any questions we had. The whole rental process was a breeze!! Our family had a great time enjoying Yellowstone and the Tetons. We would definately rent Elkhaven again for any future visits !

Amazing Home
We visited with our adult children to spend time in Yellowstone. The house is absolutely beautiful and the host was amazing. The house sits within minutes to the Yellowstone entrance, and is walking distance to town. The inside has everything you need to make meals including a grill. We enjoyed using the hot tub and having laundry on site was such a great amenity. I have already told family about the home, and we are planning another trip and would definitely stay there again!

Elk Haven
The property was in a great location to Yellowstone and had more elk in the yard than in Yellowstone! It was a great place to unwind after a long day of exploring. The hot tub, sauna and outdoor fireplace were great! Owners were very responsive.

Beautiful relaxing house
A perfect location for taking day trips into Yellowstone. It’s very close to the park entrance. The house was clean and had everything we needed and almost every night when we saw elk in the yard or across the street, including the babies.

Best VRBO
We loved Elk Haven- great location for us- we came to spend time in the Park. Our college age kids joined us and your house gave us the perfect amount of space for everyone to have privacy. We loved the hot tub ( next time we will enjoy the sauna too!) Our son especially loved all the photos- he is a budding photographer! Thanks again - we will be back!

Amazing home so close to Yellowstone
We have stayed in a lot of VRBO homes and this was the very best. It was just as described and was literally, home away from home. The little town of Gardiner had everything we needed. The north entrance to Yellowstone National Park and all of its wonder and beauty was less than 5 minutes away! This was our best vacation ever! Thank you!!

Lived up to its name
Elk Haven lived up to its name with elk in and around the house daily. If you sleep with the windows open you’ll be serenaded by bull elk bugles. Close to Yellowstone, you’ll have a great base camp for your vacation.

This house is a great place for a family to stay. From Elk walking right past your window to all the great amenities to little touches that the owner does to make you feel at home.

Family Yellowstone Trip
The property was fantastic! Group of 6 people, perfect accommodations as advertised. Everything you could want and more. Close to park entrance, restaurants, and market. Far enough away from conveniences that you enjoy the views, sunsets, and animals (birds, bunnies, elk). I would 100% rent this property again in the future.
