Yellowstone Riverview Retreat

Yellowstone Riverview Retreat is a tastefully furnished lodge-style home located just three miles north of the original entrance to Yellowstone National Park in Gardiner, Montana. This property offers guests the perfect setting for fishing, photography, wildlife observation, family gatherings, or simply relaxing along the banks of the Yellowstone River, with stunning views of Yellowstone Park just across the water.

Property Features
Set on three acres surrounded by mature trees, the retreat boasts a spacious and private backyard. Highlights include a covered gazebo with a rock fireplace and a deck overlooking the Yellowstone River, as well as apple and cherry trees. The expansive yard provides ample space for outdoor activities, including a concrete dance floor ideal for family get-togethers.

Accommodations
The house features two bedrooms: the master includes a king bed, while the second bedroom offers a queen bed and a bunk bed with a full-sized lower bunk and a single upper bunk. There is one full bathroom equipped with a shower-tub combination, two sinks, and handicap bars for added accessibility. Additionally, there is a half bathroom (toilet and sink) located conveniently near the back door for easy access from outside.

Living Spaces
Guests can relax in the large living room, which includes a 54-inch TV with satellite service. The dining area is equipped with a table that seats eight and a counter bar with seating for three. The fully stocked kitchen provides all amenities needed for meal preparation, including coffee, tea, sugar, spices, flour, ketchup, and more. Essential supplies such as toilet paper and soaps (excluding hair products) are also provided. A washer and dryer with detergent are available for guest use. Bear spray is supplied for hiking excursions.

Outdoor Amenities
The backyard features a deck furnished with a table and chairs, a barbecue grill, and ample space for activities like soccer. The gazebo and deck over the river offer a serene spot to unwind, while the concrete dance floor off the gazebo is perfect for family events.

Location and Wildlife
Located far enough from town to ensure peace and quiet, yet close enough for convenient access to supplies, the retreat offers a tranquil setting for guests. Depending on the season, wildlife such as mule deer, elk, buffalo, grizzly and black bears, may be seen in the yard.

Perfect Yellowstone Rental!!

Our family of four had a WONDERFUL stay at Sandy’s house on the Yellowstone River. The house was comfortable and had everything we needed. The location was so close to downtown Gardiner, the grocery store and the Northwest gate to Yellowstone. We were in the park daily and the house was the perfect place to relax in the evenings. The park is in your backyard and makes a beautiful backdrop for the house. Thank you Sandy for a great stay!!

Best Place Ever

My husband and I loved this property. It is the perfect place to unwind and have down time after visiting Yellowstone. It's far enough away from Gardiner for calm and quiet yet close enough to get take-out from the local restaurants/food trucks. Everything was absolutely perfect. Our 6 year old grandson really enjoyed the toys! If I could rate this place higher than 5 stars, I would. Thank You!!!

Amazing Stay

The views are exceptional. It was so nice to wake up every morning start a fire and drink coffee while listening to the Yellowstone River and glass the mountain for Elk. Every night we had a herd of Elk walk through the property it was amazing. Sandy and Jake we phenomenal hosts. It was my daughter’s birthday and they were kind enough to decorate with decorations I had amazon deliver before we arrived! I can not say enough about the location, property and hospitality! We will definitely recommend to friends, family and will stay again if heading that direction for future vacation!

Beautiful Property

We could not have asked for a better place to stay on our first trip out west. The property was clean, the views were spectacular, and the people were amazing. The house was stocked with everything could have asked for. The location was perfect for quick day trips to Yellowstone, and the back yard was stunning. Our hosts were spectacular, and my daughter will tell you the best part of the trip was playing with their dogs and visiting their horses, which they were kind enough to let us do. When we return to the Yellowstone area, we will absolutely stay here again. Absolutely amazing!

We had an awesome stay at this home. I think it is now one of my favorite places in the world. We stayed for a week with our family of five. It fit us perfectly and was a great base for spending days in Yellowstone. The house was quiet and we enjoyed watching elk and owls. I spend a little bit of everyday enjoying the river. I could sit right on the shore and take in the river and mountains. The home included a lot of basics; which was amazing since we flew in and didn’t have room to bring some other things we normally would when staying at a rental. The host was phenomenal at answering questions and checking in on us to make sure everything was up to par. I would definitely recommend this home for your stay.

Great Stay in Gardiner

Sandy’s home is the perfect location for exploring Yellowstone National Park! With its close proximity the home is an oasis from the hustle and bustle of the park. The backyard overlooking the water was one of our favorites to start and end our day and Sandy made sure the home was well stocked with all of the essentials. The fans in the bedrooms were great and the A/C unit in the living room cooled down the house during the hottest part of the days as we staying in June. Would recommend and stay again in the future.
