FIVE STAR CABIN ON YELLOWSTONE RIVER!!! THE GRIZZLY DEN CABIN on YNP Riverfront

The sound of the Yellowstone River lulls you to sleep while visions of trout dance at the end of your line...you wake up and it's not a dream-you are really there!!!

This wonderful and spacious cabin is right on the Yellowstone River, just minutes away from Yellowstone National Park and the Roosevelt Arch entry at the north entrance to YNP, and close to Mammoth Hot Springs, mountain biking and all the wildlife you can imagine.

The Grizzly Den Cabin on the Yellowstone Riverfront is self-contained with wilderness furnishings in the living area, crisp linens, towels, books, SMART TV (must have your own access codes for Netflix and the like). WIFI access, washer & dryer, a complete fully-stocked kitchen with refrigerator, microwave, range, regular coffeemaker, coffee and teas, spices and sauces, an outdoor gas grill and a wonderful covered patio for relaxing after a day of hiking, horseback riding or rafting on the Yellowstone River. Restaurants and local shopping are within ten minutes driving distance and Chico Hot Springs Spa & fine restaurant are a half hour away. Or just enjoy a BBQ on the patio, a marshmallow roast at the shared fire pit or a relaxing stroll down our rural (gravel) road, away from the noises of the city.

This Yellowstone cabin is a delightful place from which to navigate your Yellowstone National Park vacation, and you can even walk to the park directly from our driveway, only (approx) 1500 feet away. The Roosevelt Arch (North Entrance is 4.5 miles from the cabin). Access to the cabin is via a gravel road, maintained by Yellowstone National Park & Park County. This road can be rough at times and recommend adjusting driving speed to accommodate road condition.

Just under 48 miles to Livingston, and 1 1/2 hours from Bozeman Airport, the location is convenient yet very private, despite the other cabins on the property. Feedback, both in our guest book and online, for our cabin has been consistently wonderful, with our most recent guests saying our 'river home, not really a cabin, was over the top!'

Please join us for your Yellowstone National Park and cabin on the river vacation. Discover how comfortable and luxurious you can feel in the tranquility of the Montana experience!

We do occasionally see bears, mountain lions, wolves, bison and rattlesnakes on the property and we frequently have deer and elk, especially in the spring and fall. The property does have exterior cameras to for the protection and safety of our property and guests. Many times the elk will eat right outside the patio and bed down for the day. Please do not approach or feed any of the wildlife. You should always maintain 25 yards distance between elk, deer & bison and 100 yards from bears, wolves and mountain lions.

We do recommend if you are walking on the island, in the vicinity, on/off trails or along the river bank that you always carry bear spray which can be purchased at local gas stations, convenience stores and grocery stores.

Perfect location!

Our family of four stayed at The Grizzly Den for 2 nights while we toured the northern parts of Yellowstone. We couldn’t believe how close we were to the North Entrance while still feeling secluded & quiet. The cabin was clean & comfortable & had everything we needed. Communication with the host was prompt & check in was easy. The host provided a pdf of instructions to print before our trip, which was helpful since we had very limited cell service in the area.

Grizzly Den is great!

Really enjoyed waking up to the sounds of the river located right in the back yard. My family of 4 visited the Grizzly Den on our first trip to Yellowstone. The park is very close. The cabin is spacious and well appointed. Highly recommend it for families.

Great location and peaceful setting

Thankfully this host is very organized and sent everything we needed to know about check in via email before arrival. Because we had absolutely no service in the cabin or in Yellowstone. Loved sitting on the back porch listening to the river and reading in the mornings. I would definitely stay here again.

Serenity on the Yellowstone River

We really enjoyed our stay —this was the final 4 days of a 10 day vacation in the Yellowstone area and it could not have been more perfect—the sound and sight of the River flowing by was soothing for the soul. The Grizzly Den was exceptionally clean and very well stocked. It was the perfect size and layout for 4 adults. Wild life sightings were great, a float trip down the River was fantastic, and we absolutely loved the town of Gardiner. Thanks for the hospitality, Tammy! We can’t wait to visit again!

Well-appointed cabin in excellent location

This is a clean, spacious, very well supplied cabin. It is in a community of cabins in a beautiful location on the Yellowstone River. The cabins are somewhat close together, but they are constructed in a way that preserves privacy. They are in a somewhat remote area of grasslands, mountains, elk and antelope, yet only 10-15 minutes from the nice little town of Gardiner, MT and the entrance to Yellowstone NP. There are several good restaurants in Gardiner, as well as a small but well-stocked grocery store. We would certainly stay there again.

Elk at the back door

If you like being somewhat remote and in the middle of wildlife, this is the cabin for you. We were able to fish the Yellowstone River running right behind the cabin with no problem. There was easy access to the river. While the guys were fishing, we were sitting on the porch one night and an elk walked right by us. There is a four mile drive down a gravel road to get to the cabin, but we were able to see wildlife all around it. Beds were comfortable and cabin had all the basic needs. Very relaxing.

Grizzly Den

Overall it was a good stay. There were a few disappointments. We couldn’t enjoy coffee on the patio in the mornings as the sprinklers went off at 7am, ran for an hour, and sprayed onto the patio where the seating was. The grass needed to be mowed making it a bit uneasy walking in it as the snakes were active. We were four units down from the fire ring even though the listing made it seem like the fire ring was outside our door. The biggest disappointment was having to carry the garbage to the airport some 7-8 miles away. Due to the fact my truck was packed completely full under my bed cover we had to make two trips, one on our last day before we packed, and one on our way out with the garbage generated our last night. There has to be a better option. I’m glad I had a truck and not have to put stinky garbage in a car. The online listing did not mention the garbage issue.

We had some minor check-in issues, but our host was very responsive and helped get that resolved promptly.As the listing mentions - the cabin is accessed via a gravel road. It is about a 10 minute drive from the town, so you should factor that into your plans. The location is wonderful/scenic - right next to the river. One thing worth noting is there is no soap/shampoo provided - at least when we stayed. This isn't called out explicitly in the listing, but the amenity list in the listing does not include it. Just be prepared for that. Also, no dishwasher. These did not bother us, but some might care. Just FYI.Overall, this was a very clean, comfortable cabin. We enjoyed our stay here and would definitely recommend it.

Wonderful stay!

This was such a nice place. Yellowstone was easily accessible and the cabin was a nice place to come to and relax after a long day in the park. We enjoyed watching the wildlife from the cabin. The highlight of animal watching was seeing the Elk cross the river behind the cabin. I would definitely highly recommend. We had such a good time.

My husband, 2 sisters, and my great niece who was 9 years old stayed at the property. We found it to be as advertised. We saw pronghorn, elk and a beaver. The cabin is nicely decorated and very close to Yellowstone. I want to thank Tammy for providing us with such a wonderful place to stay which enhanced our experience.
