About this property
Spacious Log Home near Yellowstone Park/Gardiner. Sleeps up to 12, deck and view
Situated on 20 private acres overlooking the Yellowstone River and Paradise Valley, this custom log home is the perfect Yellowstone National Park basecamp for couples and families alike. The A-frame design makes the living area spacious with high ceilings and large windows giving a bird's eye view of the Yellowstone River and southern Paradise Valley. The northern facing wrap around deck is a perfect place to grill, lounge, soak up the sun, and watch the sunlight fade over the river.
Anyone familiar with Paradise Valley will recognize that this property is in Tom Miner Basin, one of the most popular areas in the valley. Tom Miner Basin is home to herds of wildlife as they migrate in and out of Yellowstone National Park. Elk, deer, big horn sheep and antelope call Tom Miner home much of the year. From late fall to spring a herd of big horn sheep can be found sunning themselves in the driveway and the nearby grass land. Hummingbirds love the area as well, as the former owners faithfully filled their feeders, to watch them from the windows.
The upstairs hosts two main bedrooms, each with their own private full bathrooms and in-room spacious vanities. One room has one king and two XL twins. All three are brand new and selected for comfort. The XL twins can convert to a second king, should guests prefer. The other room has a new king bed and two regular twins.
The downstairs hosts two smaller bedrooms, each with a queen bed. Both bedrooms have in-room vanities and they share a full bathroom in the east wing with a door for complete privacy from the rest of the house.
The open concept kitchen is well stocked with basic spices and ample amounts of cookware, dinnerware and glassware. The kitchen island is a good place for breakfast or dinner prep. The dining room table seats 8 comfortably with views of the Yellowstone River, Paradise Valley, and lower Tom Miner Basin. The living room has a flat screen TV with comfy chairs and a couch. We also have a toy bin for kids, books, movies, and an electric piano.
If you need a spacious basecamp for your southwest vacation to Montana with Yellowstone National Park entrance 20 miles away, and the geographical border a few minutes up the gravel road from the house, this is the place for you.
**Please note our nightly base rate is for 8 guests. There is an additional charge of $25/person/night for groups of 9 to 12 guests. Infants (0-2 years old) are welcome without additional charge.**

Loved the view! I would highly recommend. It is a little farther out from Gardiner but that was exactly what we wanted! Thank you for making a family trip one we won’t soon forget!Cornelius Family from Alabama
The has was is perfect for our multi-generational group of grandparents, grandkids and their parents. It is spacious, well-equipped, quiet and even stayed cool inside during Montana’s record heat wave! Communication was good as were the check-in details. We would highly recommend this beautiful log home for families and extended families.
The rooms got quite stuffy and hot even with the windows open, even at night. For the price we paid, I guess I would have expected there to be working A/C. I understand that it wasn’t listed as an “amenity” so that’s on me, but given the hot days we were there, sleeping at night was uncomfortable.You advertise that it sleeps 10-12, so we also would have thought there would be a

We are sorry your stay wasn't comfortable.
We do not have central AC nor do we advertise having central AC. In the hottest times of the summer, the night time temps are in the low 60's so if guests follow the fan/open windows at night and closed in the morning, the house stays cool.
I can't see the rest of your comments but we will certainly fix whatever is wrong for the next group.
Our stay at Vern and Laurie’s home was awesome! The home is remote (exactly what we were looking for), with the closest grocery store about 25 minutes away. The views from the deck were absolutely spectacular, especially at night. Vern and Laurie were so welcoming. We went to the river by their home and ended up chatting with them for a bit. We were asking about places to see more animals, and Vern even offered to take us around if time permitted. They could not have been nicer. Tanya, Vern and Laurie’s daughter, manages the listing, and she was so friendly and communicative. When we head to Yellowstone again, we will definitely stay at their home!

Thank you for staying with us, Danielle! Hope to host you again soon.
The cabin was the perfect spot for our family. Check in was easy. The hosts were quick to respond to any question and they provided complete driving instructions and lots of helpful planning info. The host had a pack & play, high chair and some toys for the littlest member and puzzles, games & cards for the rest of us. The cabin was clean with all the basic necessities and lots of extras. The view is stunning and we had a herd of bighorn sheep that were in the yard almost the entire week! We would highly recommend and hope to stay again in the future.

Thank you for staying with us, Dana! We hope to host you again soon!
Great private location with great views! Cabin was equipped with everything we needed and owners were easy to contact. Didn’t want to leave! Hope to come back!
Nice space for families. Great location. Base of Tom Minor Basin. At 7 am and earlier- if you drive up the main road, you will see bears. Nice view. Convenient to Yellowstone. Clean, everything worked well.
We absolutely loved this home. The location was excellent, short drive to the North entrance of Yellowstone. Saw lots of wildlife from the deck. The views are amazing, the house was clean and exactly as advertised. The owners of the home were very helpful and welcoming. 100% recommend.
We loved our stay. The cabin grounds were great to explore and very quiet. The cabin itself had plenty of room for two families and we used it as our basecamp for exploring Yellowstone. Thanks for the hospitality!

We enjoyed hosting you and your crew, David! Come back any time.
We had an excellent time. Easy in and out to Yellowstone. The setting was beautiful and peaceful. Cabin was big enough for all to stay comfortably. Owners were most helpful and took care of us with welcome basket and a clean well stocked place to stay.

We enjoyed hosting you, Lila! Hope you come back soon.
It was a great location to stay and you can see wildlife like bears & elk down the road about 15 minutes from the property if you don’t want to go into the park! Place was clean and private. Perfect for our family!
Wonderful place to see wildlife just up the road behind the house. We saw elk, deer, and grizzly bears one evening before sunset. The two bedrooms upstairs were roomy, great for family. Great communication with host. We would love to come back again.
Beautiful, convenient location with friendly hosts
This property is great for a family vacation. About 20-25 minutes from Yellowstone, with lots of opportunities to see wildlife in the area. The house is clean, spacious and well equipped. The hosts were very friendly and helped us spot even more wildlife in the area. There is a small but well stocked grocery store in Gardiner for daily needs. Overall I highly recommend staying here.
Our stay at this property couldn’t have been better. Home was clean, well appointed and spacious for our group of seven. Views were wonderful, owners offered some great suggestions for things to do and the deck was great for both enjoying the sun in the daytime and stargazing at night. Highly recommend for larger groups!

Amazing home in beautiful Tom Miner!
This home was perfect for our summer in Montana . Vern and Laurie were amazing hosts and have become our very dear friends.
The house was just as advertised. Well laid out for the 6 of us, and very clean. It was also well equipped as we cooked extensively, indoors and out, for our group. I wouldn't hesitate to return again in the future.

Hosting Rob was easy and we'd love to host him again, soon!
A wonderful place to stay and just a short drive from Yellowstone National Park. The views from the veranda are beautiful and there are plenty of birds and wildlife to see in the area. The house is clean, comfortable and well equipped. The Grill restaurant at Sage Lodge (recommended by Laura and Vern) is excellent and definitely worth a visit

Thank you for staying with us, Deborah! Hope to host you again next time.
We are an extended family of 9 (siblings, spouses, 3 teens and grandparents) most of whom are visiting Yellowstone for the first time! The property was exactly as described. The hosts were responsive when we had a minor shower issue. They even gave us super useful wildlife viewing tips! And you cannot beat the location. We didn’t have time to stay longer, sadly. 10/10 totally recommend.

Thank you for staying with us, Mathura! And thanks for your patience with the shower issue. I'm glad we were able to resolve it.
The place was awesome. Beautiful house with plenty of room for nine people or more. Everything you need to enjoy your stay. Only about 15 minutes away from Yellowstone entrance. You can see all types of wild life near by. So worth the stay. I will go back again
