About this property

Private, Cozy , Mountain Home Located On A Trout Stream - 10 Miles To YNP

Mountain Retreat is a country styled home nestled among cedar, pine, and cottonwood trees. Completely secluded on over an acre and boardering National Forest, Mountain Retreat is the perfect location for hunting, fishing, cross-country skiing, whitewater rafting, hiking, or simply relaxing. Located 10 miles north of Gardiner, MT, the North Entrance to Yellowstone National Park, and about .75 miles from Hwy 89 Mountain Retreat is close to the action but far enough away to miss the crowds.

Cedar Creek, a native cutthroat spawning stream, flows along the edge of the house which provides breathtaking views out of many windows throughout the home. The sound of the creek lulls you to sleep at night for an incredibly restful and relaxing experience.

Mountain Retreat is ideally located for those who want easy access to fishing and hiking. From your doorstep a mile and a half easy hiking trail takes you up the mountain to the OTO Dude Ranch. The OTO is steeped in history and illustrates the fascination so many have with the American West at the turn of the century. The book Music, Saddles, and Flapjacks, a copy is located at Mountain Retreat for your reading pleasure---is a great read about the pioneers of the dude ranching movement at the OTO. If fishing is what you're after, Mountain Retreat is 10 mins from 4 different fishing accesses. The Yellowstone River is a blue ribbon trout stream and excellent river to hone your fly-fishing skills on and enjoy a day on the water.

We love our piece of paradise along Cedar Creek and want to share it with our guests. Mountain Retreat is a unique property and we will strive to make sure it is the best experience possible for you!

The house has 2 bedrooms, one with a queen bed and the other has a double bed. It also has a multi-use room with two single beds. There is 1 bathroom in the house. The living room has a fire-place and views of the beautiful surroundings out both picture windows. Along the back of the house is a covered porch with chairs and a BBQ grill for your use along with a picnic table all looking out at Cedar Creek.

Response from VrboOwner on 6 Aug 2025
Hi Candy! I’m so glad you enjoyed the beautiful stream by the house and how clean it was. Just to clarify for future guests, the main issue Candy had was the location of the extra toilet paper. It was difficult for her to find in the hallway closet which is adjacent to the bathroom. In the future I will keep some under the sink in the bathroom for easier visibility. The other issue was that the starter had gone out on the grill from the previous guests ( which I was unaware of) so it required lighting it to get the flame to start. I will be replacing the grill this week. I’m sorry you felt it necessary to give us such a low star rating for such minimal inconveniences. Especially because I handed you cash to make up for these issues… repaying the cleaning fee. I will always strive to make every stay easy, enjoyable and issue free for every guest! Thanks!!

Good Sized Cabin by a Creek

This place was perfect for our family. The cabin was spacious and clean. We loved having the creek right out the window and enjoyed sitting by it. We went for a short hike on the adjacent trail too.

Loved the location, privacy, quiet and the running creek. Falling asleep with the windows open with the sound of water was so relaxing. House was very comfortable and clean. Kitchen was well stocked. Enjoyed time in the backyard relaxing. It was also close to Yellowstone Hot Springs, 2 miles and the Northgate of Yellowstone was 10 miles. We enjoyed both locations. Would enjoy coming back.

We had a wonderful stay at the cabin. It’s located in such a great spot, just a short drive into town. We enjoyed the location and the creek is absolutely stunning. We didn’t spend a lot of time at the cabin but when we did we had the windows open to hear the beautiful sounds of the creek. We also loved being able to hike the trail close to the house. It’s rustic, but comfortable. Beds were nice. We enjoyed being able to cook out on the grill. Diane was great with any help we needed during our stay. If I ever visit Yellowstone again I would not hesitate to stay here again.

Cozy Cabin close to YNP

Our family of 5 (3 young adult sons) enjoyed our stay at this cozy cabin retreat close to YNP. The property is very private and next to a stream. The kitchen is well stocked and the beds are comfortable. Easy check-in/check-out. The owner is great to communicate with and also very accommodating to an additional need of ours. We had a great vacation!

McPherson Family Trip - 2025

The property was the perfect escape from reality—peacefully tucked away from it all. After a long day exploring Yellowstone, the sound of the nearby stream was pure bliss. Our family enjoyed hiking around the cabin, and we truly cherished the time together. The stargazing at night was absolutely breathtaking.

My daughter's boyfriend completely remodeled the house and hand crafted all the interior finish work. Our family owns the three properties before you reach Mountain Retreat along Cedar Creek Road. We are onsite and willing to help make your vacation memorable in any way we can.
