One of my favorite reviews this season;
Jennifer,
Thanks again for let us stay at your cabin during this crazy, COVID summer. What a treat. We were looking for a road trip get away with the family, and Montana sure did the trick. Your cabin (Yellowstone River Cabin #4) was perfect for our family of four. The bedrooms are nice and spacious. We loved the cozy king-sized bed, and the kids loved that they got to sleep in their own big beds and didn’t mind sharing a room (which is a good thing with a teenaged boy and tween girl)!

You’ve decorated the cabin perfectly for those wanting a true Montana/Yellowstone experience. And your collection of stories and articles about the Yellowstone Park and its history were wonderful to read after spending a day in the Park. We all learned something new! And the book on grizzly bears came in handy, as we were lucky enough to have a grizzly visitor every night in front of the cabin!!! Before you freak out, he never came near the cabins, he was across the way on the island in the middle of the river. Thankfully, he was focused on dining on the elk carcass in front of him, and not the spectators across the river. I snapped this photo of Henry down at the river’s edge before I made him come back up the bank…he was too close; I would not recommend doing that!! But again, what a treat for all of us staying in the Yellowstone River Cabins, we made it an evening ritual before dusk with folks in the other cabins to watch the bear over a glass of wine. A fun way to meet people from all over who were coming out to Montana for the same experiences as we were. We all compared notes from our daily adventures and animal sightings.

The cabin is in such a great spot. We enjoyed the beautiful views of the Yellowstone River from your back porch (love the chairs!), and access to Gardiner and the YNP entrance was extremely easy. Gardiner is such a cute little town, we walked into all the shops, and even ate out for a couple of meals during COVID – I would recommend the Wonderland Café and Yellowstone Grill for breakfast/lunch. We didn’t eat out for dinner at all because we didn’t want to miss the bear siting! J Unfortunately, the day before we left there was a big fire in Gardiner and a couple of the businesses we had popped into earlier that day were burned. I had just taken this photo of Kelly that day in front of the Blue Goose Saloon. So sad to see those historic buildings destroyed.

We can’t express enough how much we enjoyed our trip and our time at your cabin. It had all the comforts of home, but it wasn’t home, which is exactly what we were looking for! We will definitely be back – but hopefully with a siting of you - and your kids! For me that was all that was missing with my Montana trip.

Perfect place to see Yellowstone!!
This cottage was perfect for us. My husband and a friend enjoyed traveling throughout Yellowstone as we stayed here. We cooked two meals and especially enjoyed sitting on the outside porch And watching the wildlife. The beds were fantastic and we slept like babies.

Great little cabin
Very nice property and the location is great for going in and out of Yellowstone. The elk that came to visit - literally right at the back porch - were awesome to watch. We have so many videos. Last night 50-60 elk were right on the cabin property. Loved it!

Cabin worked out great. Nice location with beautiful view of Yellowstone River. We watched elk cross the river and saw them daily. My only suggestions are the cabin needed more light and improved instructions for TV.

It is a nice cabin but the road to it takes longer than expected due to the bad condition. We did enjoy the beds and the shower is good. It could be a bit cleaner.

Gardiner gem!
We had a wonderful time at this cabin. Fantastic views of the river and we enjoyed watching rafting adventures and people fishing. The cabin is well appointed and decorated with great care and lots of local Montana touches. Bring your own groceries if you can as the local store is very expensive. Easy access to the north gate of Yellowstone, wildlife can also be seen driving to the house! Thanks for a great stay!

Great place, with a lot of wildlife! Very relaxing in the evening on the porch watching the Yellowstone river go by. Walking across the lawn to go fishing. Really enjoyed our time there. The only down side. The TV was very hard to figure out, and there was no blow dryer, when they said one was included. So you couldn't dry your hair before bed. Lesson learned, bring your own blow dryer! Thanks for the great stay!

Nice Cabin
This Cabin was really nice for the 4 adults. Having bathrooms in each bedroom was great. Kitchen is stocked beyond my expectations. Wildlife right outside your door was extra special. Enjoyed the beautiful Yellowstone River while sitting on the back porch. Only downside was getting rid of garbage at the end of the stay. Was told to take to the landfill but when we got there you have posting that you need county tages or it’s a $250 fine. Just something to be aware of if your stay is long or you do a lot of cooking.

This was a much needed vacation for my kids and I. The last two years have been very difficult since the loss of my oldest daughter. We all really enjoyed the cabin! Check in was easy and smooth. My kids and I felt like we were all at home and very comfortable. It was close for exploring Yellowstone and the cute little town of Gardiner. We even got a little thunder storm and a beautiful full double rainbow right off the back deck. This was such a highlight moment and just more reassurance that our girl, Hailey was there with us. My son Ryan even drew a little Magpie in the guest book and left a message himself. That’s how much they really enjoyed everything about our stay there. I will definitely be back! I can’t thank you enough❤️

Great Cabin on the Yellowstone River
This is the 2nd time we've stayed in this cabin. We loved it. Fully stocked with anything needed. 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. Enough room for a family of 4. Nice porch overlooking the Yellowstone River. About a 4 mile drive on gravel road to the cabin. No problem but you do need a car wash at end of stay. Only problem is trash disposal at end of your stay. Spent too much time trying to find a disposal site. More exact direction to trash disposal would be nice. Other than that, GREAT property.

Nice place to rest after an early day of exploring! Loved the elk, pronghorn and the river!
Comfortable; enjoyed the full kitchen and gas grill - we cooked a lot! Enjoyed the back deck, watched the rafters and fishermen floating by and the elk grazing in the yard. Our last day, we watched the elk (about 20 with babies) make their way down into the river.

This cabin is located very close to the North entrance to Yellowstone. With the river flowing in the back yard and the mountains all around - it was a breath taking experience for sure. Having a full kitchen and laundry facilities in the cabin were so important. We could not have asked for more. Gardner is right at the North Entrance as well and has an assortment of restaurants, shops, gas, and a grocery store. All you need. We would recommend this experience and hope to return.

Best cabin experience ever!
The cabin was everything we dreamed of wanting it to be while we were visiting Yellowstone! Having the Yellowstone River right in our backyard was priceless! We loved sitting out on the back porch watching the river flow, seeing rafters having fun, spotting wildlife across the way, watching a coyote run by and spotting an active nest in the bush right next to our cabin! We highly recommend staying here as the access to the beautiful and fun town of Gardiner and the park was in perfect proximity to the cabin. We miss it all already! Thank you Jennifer for allowing us to experience Big Sky Country and Yellowstone NP with your cabin being our home base for a whole week! We loved it so much!

The pictures and description don't do this charming cabin enough justice! The gem is just minutes away from Gardiner, yet feels a world away from the noise & bustle of the town! The cabin was tastefully decorated and well-stocked. If you think the bedrooms & kitchen delight you, wait until you walk out to the patio! You can see the Yellowstone river rustling by, nestled by the beautiful mountains. You may see plenty of wildlife - we saw deer, pronghorn, rabbits and loons. Jennifer has thoughtfully provided helpful maps of the park, several helpful books, even bug & bear sprays!
