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.

Fantastic
Our family absolutely loved this house. From the elk in the front yard to the sauna and hot tub in the back, there was something for everyone. We appreciated the well supplied kitchen and toiletries, as well as the abundance of games and movies. Super well thought out and excellent communication. Gardiner is a lovely town and the proximity to the north gate can’t be beat.

Definitely ELK HAVEN
The house was PERFECT for 6 adults. We really enjoyed evenings on the beautiful deck and put use to the spa, sauna, fire pit table and grill. The living room was extremely spacious and we enjoyed looking at all the wildlife photos. The kitchen space was also great for all of us. The entrance to Yellowstone was only .5 miles and the grocery store and shops were even closer. As the the elk, they were EVERYWHERE in this neighborhood, including our front yard. We all enjoyed watching these majestic creatures right in the driveway. We would all stay here again and I would highly recommend this rental to friends.

Gardiner Elk Haven
We thoroughly enjoyed our week in this lovely home. We saw elk and rabbits in the yard most days along with lovely Mountain View. Gardiner was a great home base to explore the park. It was a fun little town! The home was clean and spacious and had everything we needed for our stay. Highly recommend this property.

WOW! Wonder of Wonders!
Fantabulous home, fantastic stay! Possibly the best VRBO we've ever stayed in. Granddaughter (8yrs) cried when it was time to leave and made us promise to bring her back someday. There's no way to adequately describe this wonderful home. Clean, roomy, comfortable, extremely well-appointed, and beautifully decorated are descriptors that just scrape the surface. Attention to every possible detail, nothing overlooked. Took less than five minutes to drive to Yellowstone NP or to the shops and restaurants in Gardiner. Elk grazed in the front yard every morning and evening. We loved using the hot tub and firepit every night after spending the day in Yellowstone. Thank you for sharing this beautiful home with our three generations!

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!

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!

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!

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.

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.
