A large and well kept property, as well as a very friendly hostess who provided everything we needed. Gardiner allows excellent access to the Park Northern Entrance, and has a good supermarket as well as restaurants. This property is highly recommended for anyone wanting to spend a lot of time in Yellowstone National Park (especially if you want to see wildlife early in the day).

This house was absolutely perfect for my family of five. The house is very well maintained and was clean upon arrival. JoLynn did a great job stocking the house with necessities such as toilet paper, paper towels, trash bags, hand soap, and the like. We did not need to purchase anything for our weeklong stay. She even made a fresh pan of brownies for us to enjoy!

Perfect Stay

The house is extremely clean and well stocked with everything you need. The beds are comfortable and the bathrooms are very nice. The freshly baked “Welcome” brownies and elk visiting the yard every morning and every night are extra bonuses. We would definitely rent again!

Relaxing

We really enjoyed staying at this VRBO home. The host was friendly and helpful when we needed some help. The area had such a quick and easy access point to the park. The home was well furnished, clean, comfortable, and relaxing. Gardiner is a quaint and cute town.

Amazing Place to Stay!

JoLynn and Patrick offered the perfect home to return to and relax after a busy day at Yellowstone! We loved the cleanliness, location, and the back patio. The kitchen was well-stocked and I could tell this home is maintained with excellence. JoLynn is quick to respond and is so helpful with info about the area. I heartedly recommend staying here. It is one of the best we have had the pleasure to visit!

Great house and location

This house had everything we needed. We could even use the garage to secure my Harley instead of securing it each day in our trailer. Its located less a mile from the north entrance to Yellowstone Park. Highly recommend renting this house.

Perfect Location for a YNP Trip

The cottage was clean and well kept inside and out. It was evident the time and effort JoLynn puts into maintaining the property. The snacks and sweet treat were a bonus to an already wonderful home. The cottage is minutes from the north entrance but on a quiet street away from the restaurants and bars. We look forward to coming back soon.

Home-Away-From-Home home-base for Yellowstone NP

This cottage was very clean and very comfortable. It was well-stocked and had everything we needed. Kitchen utensils, tools and pots/pans were all in great condition. We enjoyed seeing a a few elk in the yard during our stay. Communication with the property manager was fast and responsive. We absolutely loved Yellowstone and hope to be back one day!

This was the cleanest house we have ever rented and we walked in to a tray of brownies left by owner which made the house smell great. Perfect location for Yellowstone and elk in front yard.

Excellent accommodation - clean, comfortable, welcoming

Great location in Gardiner at the North entrance to the Park. This beautiful yellow cottage has two bedrooms and two bathrooms. The owners have attended to every detail and nothing is missing. Everything works and it is convenient for Gardiner's general store, filling station, and many bars, pubs and grills. Try the Antler Pub and Grill across the road for atmosphere and reasonable prices. We stayed three nights and recommend this little gem.

Northern Yellowstone visit

This was by far the best vacation rental we have ever stayed in. JoLynn provides extra touches that make you feel like family. From the handwritten welcome note to the fresh baked brownies! Communication was excellent. House was exactly as the listing states. If we ever find ourselves in Gardiner again, we will definitely stay here again!

The Yellow Cottage was very clean and in a great location to access the North Entrance to Yellowstone. Grocery store, restaurants, and shops all within walking distance. We saw elk, deer, and bunnies in the yard almost every morning and evening. Everything we needed was available. Jolynn quickly responded to all of our questions. We would highly recommend this house to anyone visiting Yellowstone and the Gardiner area.

Best place in Gardiner!

Location is outstanding! Secluded enough, but you can walk to The Corral restaurant and the grocery store. The owners are extremely attentive and even baked brownies for our arrival, a lovely touch! Place was very clean, comfortable and had a great and private back patio. Elks and baby elk arrived in the back on multiple mornings and even ate grass 7ft outside the front door! The kids were amazed. Can’t imagine finding a better place in Gardiner! Highly recommend.

JoLynn was a fabulous host with a fabulous home, Everything you could imagine was provided for our stay. Close to town so we got to do our walks and so close to Yellowstone park. We will definitely book this home again if we go back there. It was like home away from home and clean, comfortable and all around perfect.

Yellowstone yellow house

Beyond a doubt this is best overall experience we have had with rental properties in the last twenty years. The location was perfect for the park and fly fishing. We saw more elk and mule deer in our yard then in the park. The owners were great to work with. A perfect property that was stocked with everything we needed. There was a grocery store close to the house if you forgot anything. Will book this house again the next time we are in Yellowstone.

The cottage was cozy and very clean. The homemade brownies and notes of welcome were a great touch. Our family loved the backyard, especially the chance to pick raspberries! The cottage was perfect for our family and we enjoyed making our own meals, grilling and walking just up the block for groceries. The laundry was so nice too! Always nice to avoid the huge laundry pile when you return home. The hosts were very friendly and had great advice about the park. We loved it!

Perfect stay in Gardiner! The cottage is cozy, well maintained, and very clean. The beds are comfortable. The neighborhood is quiet. Elk and deer are in the front yard most evenings. The Yellowstone entrance is only a couple minutes away.JoLynn is the best host ever. She's very thoughtful and responsive. When we arrived, we were greeted with a friendly welcome message, fresh brownies, and cool drinks. It was exactly what we needed after a long day of traveling, and it set the tone for a wonderful Yellowstone vacation. Thank you, JoLynn!
