Gardiner Cabin | Experience Yellowstone River Lodge: Top-Rated Family Getaway

7 Bedroom Cabin with Barbecue, Laundry and Balcony

We are located on the banks of the Yellowstone River, 10 miles north of Gardiner, Montana--the oldest entrance to Yellowstone Park.
Our lodge is 4300 square feet, with seven bedrooms, three full bathrooms, a large dining room, full kitchen, large family room with stone fireplace downstairs and a large living room with stone fireplace upstairs. There are two decks, one overlooking the Yellowstone River and beautiful views of the surrounding mountains. We have a very large lawn with shade trees also. It is a good place to relax after a busy day of activities.
It is a beautiful and convenient location for visiting Yellowstone Park and the surrounding area. The Park is only 10 minutes away. In addition to seeing Yellowstone, there are many other activities to do and see in the area, such as: horseback riding, hiking, fishing, river rafting, snowmobiling, cross country skiing and hunting. All of these activities are available in the nearby upper Yellowstone Valley. This area is a beautiful place to visit any time of the year.
Winters in the Gardiner area are usually pretty mild. The road through the northern part of Yellowstone to Cooke City is open year-round. This most scenic part of the Park offers unlimited wildlife viewing, particularly of elk, bison and the famous Yellowstone wolves. There is snowmobiling and cross-country skiing in the mountains above Gardiner, Cooke City and in the Park. Downhill skiing is also available nearby at Bridger Bowl and Big Sky. We recently installed a new propane furnace for comfortable wintertime stays .
We built the lodge ourselves with hand-hewn logs, cut and pulled out with our team of Clydesdale horses from the mountains within site of here. The stones for the fireplaces were picked from nearby fields.
The lodge is also available during hunting season. The trail heads in the vicinity offer good elk hunting on the National Forests of the Gardiner area.
While we do have a no refund policy for cancelations, we always try to work with our guests. We will give you a refund if you cancel far enough in advance for us to reschedule your dates. We generally have no trouble rescheduling the summer months unless you cancel a week or 2 prior to your stay. We will also give a refund If Yellowstone Park is closed for any reason, during your reservation dates. We highly recommend guests getting trip insurance as precaution for the possibility of a natural disaster, such as the unprecedented flooding we had this year. We are also willing to transfer your deposit to a date within the next year, if you had to cancel for some reason.
If the dates you are looking for are not available, feel free to contact us about our second log lodge. It was built in 2006 and accommodates 18. In the same great area, it is slightly smaller with five bedrooms. It is VRBO listing #151009. It is also sits on the banks of the Yellowstone River.
We handle all of our bookings-no property manager . We look forward to hearing from you!

Summary: There are two lodges on this property. We had booked the one pictured above, but due to scheduling issues of our host, we were asked to switch to the smaller lodge. So I am not reviewing the lodge in the picture but the smaller one on the same property. The property is ideally located. The views are amazing and the Yellowstone River flows next to the large deck of the lodge. We were about 20 mins from the Roosevelt Arch, the northern entrance to Yellowstone, so it was ideal. The lodge was a good size for a large group. The kitchen was well equipped and it was nice to have the deck, grill, and 2 picnic tables for outdoor meals. This however was not the beautiful upscale lodge that it appeared to be in this photo. Since I never had a chance to see the interior of the original lodge, I am assuming that they accurately reflect the larger lodge. I was disappointed in the esthetic of our lodge. Also, we stayed there on the shoulder season and the heating system could not adequately heat the large basement bedroom area. I am sure in the heat of summer, the cool basement area would be a plus. But with nighttime temps of 32 degrees, it was not comfortable. Turning the heat up until upstairs guests had to open windows did not solve the problem. So we had a great vacation, Yellowstone was beautiful but i had wanted to really WOW my family with this lodge.
