Experience Yellowstone Year-Round: Ample Space for Large Groups to Enjoy Views!
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, fishing, 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!

This was a repeat. We had stayed here once before and it was great. It’s so close to the park entrance, where we mostly spent our days, plus 2 min. to grocery story, 10 min. the hot springs. Nice big house in an easy location.
Really enjoyed our stay in Gardiner. The house was perfectly located to the North Entrance to Yellowstone. Everything thing about this property was great. Lots of room for big families and the downstairs pool table was a great way to relax in the evening as was the spa. Highly recommend visiting Yellowstone in the winter and this house is the perfect home base. Our flight was cancelled and the host was very accommodating in allowing us to stay an extra night which was greatly appreciated. Kate helped us out with everything we needed.
We have stayed at MANY Vacation Homes over the years. This is a wonderful home. One of the very best. Will definitely stay again. Spacious, comfortable, and has great artwork as well.
We had an amazing stay at this beautiful home! There were plenty of gathering areas for my family spanning several different generations. We mostly stayed in and cooked and the kitchen was above and beyond well stocked.The views from the sitting area upstairs are unparalleled and made for good mornings and evenings for relaxing with family.
Great communication. We really enjoyed our stay. Lots of room for the 10 of us (5 couples) to spread out. Well appointed and had all the supplies we needed to cook meals.Very close to downtown, the park enterance and Yellowstone Hotsprings.A couple notes: The table really only seats 8 but we were able to squeeze 10 around it. The bedroom with 2 twin beds had a mattress that was not quite up to par. Everything else was fantastic. We would stay there again.
Place was awesome , It is the perfect spot to launch and return from long days in Yellowstone park . House is great and it had everything we needed. It was great spot for our family vacation , One of the best vacations my wife and adult children have ever had. Would definitely return here anytime !
The house was perfect for our family of 10 (3 generations). It was very well equipped & had everything we needed. Close to town & the Yellowstone Park entrance. Did a scenic float, went to the hot springs, horseback trail ride, and saw wolves, bears, bison, elk, prong horn & all the views in the park. Lots of great memories were made. Thank you!
We absolutely loved staying here! The accommodations were perfect for family, kids included. The cabin was well-stocked and beautifully decorated. We hope to return again!
