Located at the edge of beautiful Gardiner, so close to the park, it was perfect. After the moon set, it was so dark, we could see so many stars. And in the evening, we watched from the wrap-around porch a mess of elk wander down the driveway and munch on the neighbors' lawns. Beautiful! And with a bedroom downstairs and the other upstairs, we could get away from each other when needed. Very relaxing. We'd love to return

Electric Peak Lookout is in a beautiful location in Gardiner and very close to the North entrance to Yellowstone. The house had everything we needed to be comfortable for 2 couples. We explored all parts of Yellowstone from there and found wonders around every corner: hot springs, geysers, wonderful trails, beautiful waterfalls. We saw bison in many areas of the park, particularly Hayden Valley and Lamar Valley. We also saw wolves in the Lamar valley and a black bear with 2 cubs on the Slough Creek Trail. The elk came by the house many mornings for a parade up the hill behind the house. Sitting on the deck looking at the peak after a long day of hiking and exploring was so relaxing and memorable. I would highly recommend Electric Peak Lookout as a base for exploring Yellowstone. We found a couple of good restaurants in Gardiner: Wonderland cafe and Back Country Bistro. Ridley’s had a good selection of groceries that kept us supplied for breakfast, lunches and the relaxing dinners we prepared and shared at the houseDorothy is a great host and provides everything needed to make your stay as easy as possible.

Perfect Gardiner Home Base

This cabin was better than described! Great views and we loved having happy hour on the deck and seeing elk out front in the mornings. It is close to restaurants but out of the traffic. It was very well stocked, even had bear spray to borrow. Super close to the park entrance. Would definitely stay here again!

Yellowstone Trip

We loved, loved, loved staying at this house! It was comfortable and inviting, and it had everything we needed for an enjoyable stay. We woke up each morning to watch the neighborhood elk grazing on the hillside as the sunrise lit up the contours of the incredible landscape. The town of Gardiner is fun and interesting to explore, and the house is minutes from the entrance to Yellowstone. We are extremely happy about our stay!

Yellowstone Base

We thoroughly enjoyed our time at the house. It was ideally located for trips into Yellowstone, specifically the northern half of the park. Additionally, we did a day trip to Bozeman, which was an easy hour drive. The town of Gardiner had plenty of restaurant options, a grocery store, shopping and fuel. The house was well appointed and very clean. The deck offered an excellent place for eating, grilling and spotting wildlife (we saw elk right off the deck and across the street). The host was very attentive, responsive and even informed us of a place to listen to live music in Gardiner. Great house! We would absolutely stay again!

The BEST!! House for Touring Yellowstone National Park

We absolutely LOVED everything about this house and our wonderful host, Dorothy. Here are just a few of the reasons we loved staying here:LOCATION- Less than 5 minutes (drive) to the Yellowstone entrance and Roosevelt arch- 2 minutes from Gardiner town (there's a market, gas station, and lots of great local shops & restaurants)- Situated on a quiet street with absolutely stunning views! (You can look out the window and see into Yellowstone National Park!)THE HOUSE- Immaculately clean! Even my mother, who is very particular about cleanliness said, "Wow, this is really clean!"- So well appointed: they really thought of every little detail and amenity a guest might need (extra blankets, bear spray, books!). Nothing was overlooked. - Amazing kitchen with an extra large pantry which was fantastic for making a few home-cooked meals on our trip and packing sack lunches for hiking in the park- Huge wrap-around deck, perfect for watching the elk, mule deer, and foxes- The house is honestly even nicer than it looks in the photos!OUR HOST- Excellent communication from the moment we booked through check-out- Dorothy left us the nicest note, flowers and a treat which was the loveliest surprise when we checked in (way above and beyond what I would expect a host to do!)- They also had a binder in the house with all the information you could ever need about the house, restaurant recommendations, and wildlife in the areaWe felt so welcome here and can't wait to go back!

Picture perfect

First time to Yellowstone and it was amazing!! This place has fantastic views!! We loved to sit on the porch at night, have some wine and gaze at the stars in the clear skies:) girls loved having their own space..plenty of room!! Beds were super comfortable!! Had some problems with the internet when we got there but Vicki was right on having someone come out and fix it and offered another place for the night. We didn’t want to move but the offer was so nice:) Yellowstone pizza was so yummy we had it twice;) overall it was a great vacation! Would highly recommend this place😊

Perfect Northern Access for Yellowstone

This was the perfect spot to stay for easy access into Yellowstone's northern entrance! If you are looking for a peaceful place for your family to stay with views of Yellowstone, this is it. There's also a gas station just down the street and a market for any last minute things you need to buy for meals. I also appreciated that the laundry detergent was unscented as my family has fragrance sensitivities. (Dishwasher detergent is scented however, so bring your own if that is an issue.) The home had cozy living areas, great books on the region and books, games and puzzles if you're there for awhile and want some downtime indoors. Plus, an awesome wrap-around deck area to relax on. We would definitely stay here again!

Yellowstone Adventure

House was in a great location to town and the views were amazing. Every morning and evening we saw elk grazing on the property. One afternoon we came back to house and there was a young elk resting in the entryway. Mama must have left him/her there where it was safe to go eat. So…. We left and came back later. Lol. Restaurants had great food. We had our first elk meatloaf. Tasted good.

Darn Near Perfect

We absolutely loved this house. The views were spectacular, the accommodations comfortable, and Jess did an excellent job communicating and making us feel welcome. I enjoyed sitting on the deck in the mornings and watching mama and baby elks walk right by the house. The only downside was the wifi is slow, but I have a feeling that is the case everywhere in Gardiner. There were a lot of activities to keep us busy. Plenty of puzzles, games, and books in the upstairs loft. As VRBO houses go, I felt like this one had a lot more charm than most and felt more like a home than a rental property. It was just what we were hoping for.

What makes this property unique

One thing we always hear from people is how quiet and amazing the views of the mountain are from inside our home and on our large wrap around deck. The home is nestled in on a quiet dead-end road a mile from the North Entrance of Yellowstone National Park and downtown Gardiner. We feel lucky to have been able to have built a home in this quaint town. As we put our home on the market, we have made many updates to our home . We have a fully stocked kitchen and many amenities for your convenience. We want you to enjoy our piece of paradise!
