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.

We were pleasantly surprised by this cabin! The setting is amazing, this cabin fronts the Yellowstone River, and we spent much time on the covered porch taking in the views and visits by the neighborhood elk herd. The cabin itself has many comfortable amenities from the bedrooms, bathrooms and comfortable beds to the well-equipped kitchen. Upon arrival, we found the cabin clean, updated, and ready for our stay. The hosts kept in very good contact with us about our stay, and the VRBO website was very accurate in the cabin description and photos. This cabin was very close to Gardiner, and the northern entrance to Yellowstone. We would definitely consider staying at this cabin again.

Such an awesome property to stay at. We used it as a base camp to explore the national park. Very convenient location, close to town and entrance to park. Awesome views in the valley and along the river. Cabin was very clean and had everything you need to enjoy your stay.

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.
