Amazing Views of Yellowstone Park & River! A 1/2 mile from YNP’s North Entrance.
Enjoy The Sound of The Yellowstone River and The Sights of Yellowstone and the surrounding mountains from this beautifully remodeled vacation rental. Located just around the corner from The North Gate of Yellowstone in Gardiner, Montana, this rental was lovingly remodeled and decorated to be comfortable, welcoming and stylish. We named this rental Water House Two because the original wooden Water Tower used to stand on this property until the 1960's and the original stone Pump House is situated just below on the river. During the remodel and revision of the original house and the property we found old receipts from Gardiner Residents water payments and buried water house gear and parts. Located in a nice neighborhood, everything is within walking distance. The quaint mountain town of Gardiner, Montana (Population 800) is the original entrance to Yellowstone National Park and the only entrance open all year. You can stroll to dinner, shopping and to The Headquarters of Yellowstone Forever for Ranger and Naturalist Talks. The Boiling River, popular for soaking, is just inside the park gate and Mammoth Hot Springs is located 15 minutes from the house and the new Yellowstone Hot Springs is just North of Town, about 15 minutes. This is a 1,200sq/ft. Lower Unit with another rental above. The house was originally one and with the new remodel, it has been made into two separate units. Bedroom 1 has a queen size bed and Bedroom 2 has two twin beds. The Kitchen has a Pantry, Senseo Coffee Maker (we include the coffee for you), Toaster, Microwave, Mixing Bowls, Picnic Basket, cooking and eating utensils.The Living Room has a 55" SmartTV, large comfy couch and oversize chair. You can Log into Your Prime, Netflix, Disney+, etc.. Accounts. We already have DirecTV Service for The TV. The bathroom has double sinks and a hair dryer and towels for your convenience. Canned lighting, French Doors and new windows have been installed to make the rental bright and to bring in the surroundings. Each bedroom has a window or windows that open to the river. Parking is on the street. Please do not park in front of Quimby Cabin next door. River access is just around the block.

My husband and I came for a week getaway for our anniversary and it was an absolutely lovely stay. It was very clean and well stocked. The view of the river was beautiful. Our favorite part was how insanely close it is to the north entrance to Yellowstone. Although the town is small there are good places to eat and places to shop. There was also so much wildlife everywhere, which was so amazing. We hope to come back and stay here again soon.
We loved our spot on the river and the space was comfortable for three of us. We enjoyed the extras in the pantry and all the kitchen supplies. The view is beautiful and access was fairly simple, even though there were steps down to the rental.
We had an amazing stay. Great location, beautiful home and amazing views. Sara and Patrick are wonderful hosts. Very accommodating and gave great recommendations for food and things to do.
EXCELLENT location in and out of the park and walking distance to restaurants. The home was very comfortable and made for a good spot on rest days. The views are spectacular and we saw elk on the river, walking through town, and even had one bed down right outside the window. It was very well stocked and had everything we needed plus more!
We really enjoyed our stay. The owner was very friendly and helpful! The view was amazing and we loved sitting outside. It was very clean and comfortable!
Perfect home base for trips to Mammoth and the Lamar Valley (bears and wolf cubs for early risers!), and the town of Gardiner is delightful. Picturesque location on the Yellowstone River and the unit was spacious for four adults. Hosts were great communicators too!
Great property with the exception of the renters above who had no respect that there were people below them. Great views, very clean, and great communication.
Great location. The view of the Yellowstone River was exceptional. We saw elk each night we sit out in the evening. check in was easy and the kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed. Would recommend to anyone looking to stay in the Gardner area.
Great cozy apartment. Wonderful view and you can hear the river. Patrik responds promptly and is polite and helpful. They also run some adventure businesses so feel free to ask them about it. Very clean with all the amenities
The property was very clean and updated. The location was excellent, walkable to town, and very close to the Yellowstone entrance. . However, the entry through the back gate for traveling guests was difficult to maneuver luggage through the gravel and passageway to the door was a little cluttered.
We loved Gardiner & our rental was so nice! The river running next to us was beautiful! The house across the river actually had a mama and baby black bear in their yard two nights in a row! Had everything we needed in the kitchen was well stocked, only suggestion I would have is to have saran wrap and tinfoil otherwise our stay was absolutely wonderful!!
