Key Mgmt was great to work with as we navigated the Montana COVID situation. Brooke and Deena were very flexible and accommodating. The property is very clean, which we greatly appreciated. Ample sunlight and windows for ventilation. Kitchen was good for preparing meals, and bedrooms were comfortable. Everything was stocked well, with an abundance of towels, TP, dishwasher tabs, etc. Propane grill worked well but runs very hot.
The views of the mountains were spectacular, and the Yellowstone River made for a splendid backyard. Depending on the time of year beware that the river is high and moving fast. This made us nervous with the toddler, but it’s just something to be aware of.
A little bit of a hike (about 25 miles) to Gardiner/North entrance to the park, but very doable. Really enjoyed the Wildflour Bakery and BBQ joint in Emigrant. Wife enjoyed a spa treatment at Chico Hot Springs. The two pools are a little hot to have kids play in, but we were able to enjoy the water there. Gardiner is a great town. Would recommend the Gardiner Market for shopping, Wonderland and Iron Horse for eating, Wild West for rafting, and Flying Pig/Hells A-Roarin’ Outfitters for horseback riding and cowboy cookout.
From beginning to end it was a great stay and we wouldn’t hesitate to go back to Osprey’s Nest. Lots of memories made.
