About this property

AVAILABLE YEAR ROUND - Overlooks Yellowstone Park, Great for Large Groups

Gather your people and Hideaway in Gardiner, Montana - Home to America's First National Park! This comfy vacation home is located on a hillside above downtown Gardiner, Montana just a 1/2 mile to the North Entrance of Yellowstone National Park. Hillside Hideaway is loaded with Montana flair, gorgeous local artwork, and every amenity you could ask for (including a sauna, pool table, and fire pit) to make your Yellowstone vacation a dream come true!

Available year-round, enjoy the peace, quiet, snow and skiing in the winter; the abundant wildlife in the shoulder seasons and the hiking, rafting and scenery in the summer months. An all-wheel drive or 4-wheel drive vehicle may be needed in the winter depending on snow conditions to get to the house. Property management does plow the access, yet if arriving mid-storm if may get tricky.

This 3,900 sq foot, two-level home sleeps 12 in 5 bedrooms plus 1 queen sized pull-out couch and includes 3 full bathrooms. The main floor includes a gourmet kitchen, with tons of work space and an adjacent large dining room; a living room for gathering with family and friends; a master suite; the sauna room, and another bedroom featuring two twin beds and another full bath.

Downstairs features a large family room, complete with a game area, fireplace, and pool table. The downstairs family room is the perfect place to unwind, shoot pool, play cards, or watch a movie on the huge flat screen. A full bath, three bedrooms and a queen sleeper sofa complete the downstairs level.

There is a deck off the living room to sit and enjoy the mountain views of Electric Peak, the tallest peak in the northern portion of Yellowstone Park; later wander across the stone path to enjoy the fire pit sitting area. This yard will be the perfect place for your family or group to spread out and enjoy the beautiful Montana night sky. Listen closely for the owls residing in the area and/or the howls of local coyotes.

After a full-day exploring Yellowstone, you will appreciate the super comfortable beds and luxurious linens as well as so many spacious bedrooms for your family and friends to call their own.

Every wall of this house is home to beautiful artwork and photography that celebrate Yellowstone and the beautiful area we are lucky to call home. Most pieces are done by local artists and are available for purchase.

NOTE: Gardiner is an unincorporated town of approximately 1000 year-round residents. In recent years, as tourism into Yellowstone increases, so does development in Gardiner. Therefore, you will find newly constructed beautiful homes, next to older, smaller residences. There are also some trailer homes and RV sites located in town. However, the gorgeous mountain views are visible from each and every place in town!

Great place!
Great house, well appointed. Our group was 6 adults and 4 kids (2x70s, 4x40s, kids between 4 and 13). Plenty of space, older folks had a fine time getting around, wonderful covered deck with lovely view, good yard. The pool table and fireplace downstairs were awesome - so good to have two main shared spaces. Easy walk to the market and ither shops in town, short jaunt to the park. Kitchen had everything we needed and we did a fair amount of cooking. Everything was clean, everything worked. No substantive complaints!

Beautiful and spacious house with really comfortable beds and social areas. It has a fun room with a pool table and a wind- down room with a sauna. The kitchen holds several cooks & helpers for creating your favorite original meals and socializing. The huge TV is perfect to review your daily wildlife and scenic images. Unfortunately, too cold to enjoy the perfect deck with a mountain view in Feb.

Anniversary in Gardiner
We have stayed here before and the home was amazing as usual. It was comfortable and has a beautiful view. The only problem was our son in law was so excited to be there he was doing elk calls and got in trouble with the locals. Which we completely understood. Our son in law learned a valuable lesson.
