One of my favorite reviews this season;
Jennifer,
Thanks again for let us stay at your cabin during this crazy, COVID summer. What a treat. We were looking for a road trip get away with the family, and Montana sure did the trick. Your cabin (Yellowstone River Cabin #4) was perfect for our family of four. The bedrooms are nice and spacious. We loved the cozy king-sized bed, and the kids loved that they got to sleep in their own big beds and didn’t mind sharing a room (which is a good thing with a teenaged boy and tween girl)!

You’ve decorated the cabin perfectly for those wanting a true Montana/Yellowstone experience. And your collection of stories and articles about the Yellowstone Park and its history were wonderful to read after spending a day in the Park. We all learned something new! And the book on grizzly bears came in handy, as we were lucky enough to have a grizzly visitor every night in front of the cabin!!! Before you freak out, he never came near the cabins, he was across the way on the island in the middle of the river. Thankfully, he was focused on dining on the elk carcass in front of him, and not the spectators across the river. I snapped this photo of Henry down at the river’s edge before I made him come back up the bank…he was too close; I would not recommend doing that!! But again, what a treat for all of us staying in the Yellowstone River Cabins, we made it an evening ritual before dusk with folks in the other cabins to watch the bear over a glass of wine. A fun way to meet people from all over who were coming out to Montana for the same experiences as we were. We all compared notes from our daily adventures and animal sightings.

The cabin is in such a great spot. We enjoyed the beautiful views of the Yellowstone River from your back porch (love the chairs!), and access to Gardiner and the YNP entrance was extremely easy. Gardiner is such a cute little town, we walked into all the shops, and even ate out for a couple of meals during COVID – I would recommend the Wonderland Café and Yellowstone Grill for breakfast/lunch. We didn’t eat out for dinner at all because we didn’t want to miss the bear siting! J Unfortunately, the day before we left there was a big fire in Gardiner and a couple of the businesses we had popped into earlier that day were burned. I had just taken this photo of Kelly that day in front of the Blue Goose Saloon. So sad to see those historic buildings destroyed.

We can’t express enough how much we enjoyed our trip and our time at your cabin. It had all the comforts of home, but it wasn’t home, which is exactly what we were looking for! We will definitely be back – but hopefully with a siting of you - and your kids! For me that was all that was missing with my Montana trip.

We loved our stay at this cabin! We stayed at hotels inside Yellowstone for the first part of our trip, looking for convenience. When we got to this spot, our kids wanted to know why we didn’t stay here the whole time. We all liked it so much better! It has a beautiful view of the river and lots of wildlife nearby. Gardiner has a cute little downtown. Would definitely stay again.

This cabin was perfect for our trip to Yellowstone. The cabin was so well stocked, from extra towels and blankets to spices and tea and storage containers in the kitchen. We loved being so close to the river and the North entrance to the park was so close. Also be sure to check out the hot springs right down the road! The only inconvenience was that the WiFi was a little slow (and there’s no cell reception) but that wasn’t the end of the world. Highly recommend!

We had a fantastic stay in Gardiner. The cabin was cozy and perfect for our family of four. The bedrooms were comfortable and it was great having two bathrooms and a washer/dryer. We spent time relaxing on the porch, watching the river, exploring Gardiner and visiting the park. Jennifer communicated well and has the cabin well appointed. She has a book of suggestions and answered all of our questions. One day we booked horseback riding and rafting with Yellowstone Raft Company. Ridley's market had the supplies we needed and we enjoyed The Iron Horse Bar and Grille and The Wonderland Cafe.
