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.

It was a good little cabin! We did have to fight an infestation of centipedes but overall pretty good. The location is beautiful.

I’m so sorry about the centipedes. I get the house professionally sprayed multiple times a summer. This issue will be addressed and resolved before the next season. It is something that just happened in the last week. Sorry again and I’m glad you enjoyed our home.

The beds were comfy. The creek is amazing to sleep to. In the mountains! You can walk a trail up the mountains to an historic dude ranch, which us a very scenic hike. Good home base for our yellowstone trip. The house met our needs and was comfy.

This was absolutely perfect for my family with two little boys that cannot possibly stay in a hotel LOL. I wish I could plan more time to stay on property but our itinerary for Yellowstone was full. I will definitely come back and enjoy the creek which runs right next to the house. I loved the innovative fishing poles too

Very rustic and private. Beautiful view of the stream. Didn’t love the cement floor in the part of the house where the kids slept and the window in the shower.

I’m so glad you enjoyed the gorgeous stream and privacy at our home. Both the window and cement floor are clearly visible in the pictures of the house. I’m sorry you overlooked them as you could have found a more suitable home. I want all my guests to have a wonderful stay as is illustrated by the dozens of rave reviews! I’m so glad you didn’t have any real issues!

Beautiful setting near trout stream. Home was efficient for what we needed. Double bed for two adults was uncomfortable, but that was our choice. Nice to be away from the crowds. Driveway is rough but just go slow. We enjoyed our stay! We even saw a bull elk come up our driveway! If you’re able to, take a hike up the hill. The views are amazing!

What a great place to relax and unwind. The creek was flowing fast and the sound was amazing. The location was perfect to be close to the park but still very secluded. What an experience and was exactly what we needed.

This wonderful property at the end of a gravel road and situated next to a stream, was exactly what my husband and I hoped for. It was peaceful and quiet. The only sounds were the creek and birds. Mule deer and elk came to visit along with our resident rabbit who lived under the porch. Close enough (a gorgeous drive) to Yellowstone, but away from the bustle. Perfect!!

Cabin is at the end of a dirt road. Close enough to the highway and just a few miles to Yellowstone National Park. Surrounded by mountains, giving plenty of privacy and quietness. Cabin is a little rustic, but not primitive. Has everything you need to make your stay pleasant. There is no air conditioning, but that wasn't a problem for us as the days were pleasantly cool. Very clean, beds very comfortable. There is a beautiful waterfall that feeds to the creek that flows alongside the house, and is visible from some of the rooms. Communication was excellent, and was very accommodating when we needed to change our dates. They even welcomed us with a bottle of wine and some snacks. We would book again if we ever have the chance to return to the area.

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!!
