About this property

Barnhouse at Slip & Slide Ranch



Quiet, peaceful…Montana at its best!

Our place is close to Yellowstone Park, right off Highway 89, only 11 miles from the North Entrance at Gardiner MT. The unique history of our home provides a perfect complement to the unique and beautiful setting.

The home is recently renovated
on a historic ranch property owned by the Rigler family since 1908.

We are surrounded by public land providing great hiking opportunities. Although not on the river, a short trek across the road gives you private access for fishing on Yellowstone River frontage which is part of the ranch.

After a busy day in Yellowstone, relax on the front porch and watch the bison in our meadow a short distance from our vacation rental home.

The great room is an open space with living, dining, kitchen combination. The kitchen has a countertop bar and provides all the amenities to create dine in meals for your family. Large windows line the great room space providing incredible 360 degree views. There is a deck off the front and back of the home; the back deck has a Blackstone grill…you can cook breakfast outside as well as dinner…with a small table and chairs available for enjoying your meals outdoors. The front porch has chairs to relax and enjoy the mountain views in the evening.

The living room space has sofa, comfy chairs, and a Smart TV. There is also a game table for puzzles, cards or board games…all available in the home.

The dining room has a large log table with chairs. There is a fireplace in the open space with a gas insert. Safety is our priority with fire and CO 2 monitors throughout the home.

Bedroom one has a king bed and en-suite bathroom with walk in shower. Toiletries are provided for your convenience.

Bedroom two also has a king sized bed with a fiberfill duvet…which is sanitized after each guest.

Bathroom two is between bedroom two and three; it has a tub/shower combination. Terry bathrobes for guests are available in the closets in each bedroom.

Bedroom three has two twin beds. As this is a recently renovated property, all beds and bedding are new.

Finally, the 1800 square foot space provides a laundry room with new Maytag washer and dryer.

This is a unique and special home located on a spacious and unique property. Our first
year of operation for this home will begin May, 2022; we appreciate your consideration to join us to complete your memorable Yellowstone vacation!

What a great place to stay! Definitely coming back here again! The accommodations were clean, well equipped, and tastefully decorated. That is not the best part! The location is fantastic. It is located just a short drive from Gardiner and used to be a working ranch. Really added to the sense that you are "away from it all". Enjoyed talking with one of the owners Chuck and used his recommendations to find a place to spot Grizzly bears from a distance. His history of the ranch was interesting. It was easy to tour Yellowstone park from this location.

We couldn’t have asked for more!! Our vacation stay at the barnhouse will live in our memories forever. It was the perfect getaway for our busy days driving around Yellowstone. From cooking in the kitchen, to chatting with Chuck, to listening to the horses while enjoying the front porch - it was just perfect!! Thank you so much!

This home is in the perfect location if you are planning to visit Yellowstone. We were able to get to the park early to avoid the crowds. While at the house we enjoyed visiting the horses and played lots of scrabble! The beds were by far the comfiest beds on our 2 week National/state park road trip. We unfortunately missed out on the opportunity to hear about the history on the property due to some things coming up for the owners however the people who came to help with the chores were very friendly and gave some suggestions! Thank you for the amazing home for us to stay in!

Perfect Getaway Just Minutes from Yellowstone

We absolutely loved our stay at this beautiful home! It was exactly as described, cozy, welcoming, and perfect for our family of five adults. The location was serene and peaceful, with breathtaking views in every direction. We especially enjoyed relaxing on the front and back porches and even had elk wander through the yard one evening—truly unforgettable.The home was spotless and incredibly well stocked with everything we could possibly need. Beds were comfortable, and every room felt thoughtfully prepared. Check-in and check-out were simple and smooth.Susan was responsive and easy to communicate with, and her son Chuck was so friendly and offered great suggestions for local spots to check out.The home is in a great location, just a very short drive to Yellowstone’s North Entrance, but felt like a world away in all the best ways. We’d stay here again in a heartbeat and highly recommend it to anyone looking for comfort, nature, and convenience.

Lovely location

We enjoyed our stay here. The location was great - a short drive to Yellowstone and the property was beautiful. We didn’t spend much time at the house, but we enjoyed coming back to a comfy bed! Wish we had more time to relax and just hang out because it was a wonderful place to stay.

Most perfect lodging for Yellowstone. From the first email I sent with a ton of questions Susan responded immediately to it and all the follow up. Always completely through in her responses. It is great when you are dealing directly with an owner that lives almost next to property. the property was spotless and incredible views. Kitchen the best we've ever had in rental, everything was there you could possible need. So much room inside and outside. the views in the pictures do not do it justice, seeing the sun rise up on the mountains in the morning was stunning. You are 5 minutes away from yellowstone spring (closed on Mondays) and 15 minutes thru the north entrance gate. Plus you have Susan's son across the driveway who was wonderful to tell us highlights of the area and let us pet his dog Sweetie when we started missing our dogs in Oklahoma. the front porch and back deck are great to sit out, so peaceful. Bear spray is provided along with the best washer and dryer! Living room was so relaxing and everything in rental is top notch plus interesting history of the family's legacy. Can't imagine how our experience could have been any better. Only 5 miles from town of Gardnier, drive from Bozeman airport was so easy, about an hour and gorgeous drive in the mountains.Yellowstone river right across the street from property. Great to look out and see incredible barn and herd of buffalo! we hope to return very soon, thanks for sharing your hospitality and property with us.

Perfect!

Our stay could not have been better! The house is located less than 15 minutes from Gardiner and the north entrance to Yellowstone National Park. Everything was immaculate and the owners were accessible and most helpful. A perfect retreat from the summer heat and an opportunity to spend time exploring YNP and the surrounding area.

The Best Ever!

If I could give The Barnhouse at Slip & Slide Ranch 10 stars, I would! Anyone staying in Gardiner should look no further than this property - but book it early. I imagine that it will stay reserved for months. The house and property are gorgeous with so much history attached to it. I can’t think of any supplies or amenities that could make it better. From first contact to checkout, the process was seamless. It’s conveniently located close to the north entrance of Yellowstone, which made going to and coming back from the park easy. The only problem with this home is that it’s so perfect, you’re reluctant to leave it to go sightseeing! An added bonus was the time we spent with Frank listening to his stories of his family (who have had the property since the early 1900s) - what a good storyteller he is! Plus, he gave us some great suggestions on places to go that we otherwise would have missed. All in all, a wonderful experience - ranks right up there at the top of the VRBOs we have stayed at over the years!
