Our year-round vacation rental home is located on a hillside, overlooking the Yellowstone River and an expansive grassy valley ringed by towering mountains. It is only 11 miles (a 15 minute drive) from the town of Gardiner, the north entrance to Yellowstone Park. High speed internet access has been installed - just bring your laptop.

This 1200 sq. ft. three bedroom/one bathroom cedar home sits on a one acre property that is fully fenced, and has a nicely maintained lawn. Gorgeous views can be enjoyed from the wrap-around deck, as you overlook Paradise Valley and the Yellowstone River. Although pets are generally not allowed, we do make some rare exceptions. No smoking please.

A cozy cabin feeling is engendered by the fir woodwork on most walls and ceilings. The spacious bathroom features two sinks and a tub/shower combination. The house has an extra large 75 gallon hot water heater. A gas BBQ grill is provided on the deck.

The property is surrounded by pristine Forest Service lands that you can hike in, with gorgeous views in every direction. if you like fishing, you'll have easy access to Yellowstone River and to all the fishing areas in Yellowstone Park. There is even a small lake located only a half mile from the house, called Cutler Lake. There are many fun things to do in the area year-round. Horseback riding and river rafting trips are available nearby, and of course, all the wonders of Yellowstone Park are a must-see!

There is also an ice skating rink open to the public at the Mammoth Hot Springs Hotel and the restaurant remains open there as well as at the Old Faithful Lodge.

Most of the other Park roads are closed to normal vehicle traffic during the winter, from mid-December through mid-March. During that period these roads are only open to snow coaches, snowmobiles, and cross-country skiers.

Our favorite activity in winter is to soak in the outdoor hot spring pools at Boiling River. Its parking area is only 3 miles inside the Park from Gardiner. After parking you walk about a half mile along a path bordering the Gardiner River. You soon arrive at a place where a creek of hot geothermal water flows into the river. Rocks are piled up in the river to create natural pools where the hot water mingles with the cold river water to create comfortable places to soak and relax. When you get out, even though the air is cold, you still feel warm as you dry off and get dressed.

Hunters are also welcome at Yellowstone Vacation Home. This area of Montana, just north of Yellowstone Park, receives hundreds of elk migrating out of Yellowstone Park each winter. There is also a year-round resident herd of elk in the mountains just above the house, and mule deer are abundant in the area. Hunting, in-season, is open to the public on all of the vast U.S. Forest Service lands that immediately surround the house for miles. If you choose, you can even leave the house on foot to hunt in the surrounding Forest Service land without disturbing the game animals with the sounds of a vehicle. The house is situated in Montanan hunting district 314. District 313 is directly across the river.

If you are looking for beautiful views in the quiet seclusion of pristine Montana surroundings, with easy access to the attractions of Yellowstone Park and the fishing and white water rafting opportunities of Yellowstone River, you will be delighted with your stay at our Yellowstone Vacation Home.
