Comfort, Convenience and Elk!

We had a wonderful stay at this home in Gardiner, Montana! The location was perfect—just a short walk to town and incredibly convenient access to Yellowstone’s north entrance. The house was clean, comfortable, and had plenty of space for our group. We even had some elk visitors out front one morning, which made the stay even more memorable. Thank you for a great experience—we’d absolutely stay here again!

Yellowstone Trip

Beautiful and well kept home in a great location to access the park. The size of the house provides room to spread out while the open living and dining area was a comfortable place to gather. Great location and views.

Yellowstone comfort

Buffalo Trace is comfortable, well-appointed, and within minutes of the North entrance of Yellowstone. The owners were particularly helpful suggesting special spots in the park to view animals. At the end of our long days exploring the park, it was nice to cook in and relax with friends.

Amazing Yellowstone Rental

The Buffalo Trace Retreat was the perfect home for our trip to Yellowstone! The house was absolutely beautiful and perfectly located so that we could enjoy every aspect of the park! At the house, we had lots of elk and mule deer visitors, which made the trip even more special! Natalie and Kevin were the perfect hosts and made our stay absolutely perfect!!
