Photos and Description of the Gardiner vacation cabin rental
3 bedrooms, 1 bathroom, sleeps 8

Yellowstone Riverview Cabin was built in 2007. This tastefully furnished cabin is located only 9 1/2 miles (a mere 10 minute drive) from Yellowstone Park's original entrance in Gardiner, Montana. Riverview Cabin is the perfect place for fishing the Yellowstone River with several boat launch and public access sites in close proximity. This cabin is also ideal for naturalists, wildlife enthusiasts and photographers - it is situated in Paradise Valley, a majestically beautiful wildlife corridor directly connected to Yellowstone Park. Bighorn sheep, deer and elk can be viewed regularly.

The cabin is well supplied - we provide linens, towels, a hair dryer, hand soaps, shampoo, laundry soap, dish washing soap, trash can liners, etc.

If you love the rugged beauty of the Rocky Mountains and look forward to visiting Yellowstone Park with all its natural beauty and wildlife, you're sure to enjoy your stay at Yellowstone Riverview Cabin!

Interior of Yellowstone Riverview Cabin:: The great room has a vaulted ceiling with panoramic windows to light the room with gorgeous views of Yankee Jim Canyon and the Yellowstone River. The happy hour wet bar, overstuffed furniture and custom stained glass wildlife panels (made by the owner) are the perfect setting for relaxation after an adventurous day in our First National Park. There's room for 8 at the dining room table in front of a beautiful wildlife mural and comfy gas fireplace. The roll top desk is loaded with information, maps, guides and more on Yellowstone Country.

There are three bedrooms - the master bedroom with a king size bed, the second one with a queen size and the third one with two sets of bunk beds for the kids. The den has a comfy sofa and there is satellite TV and lots of DVDs for all night movie enthusiasts!

Kitchen and catered lunches:: The custom designed stone kitchen has everything you need to create a gourmet dinner. You will love the gorgeous custom stained glass sunflower valances in the windows. It features a breakfast bar that seats 3 people. The dining table seats 8.

We do offer lunch catering for guests with prior notice. Our healthy menu includes homemade specialties and organics from our garden. Produce can also be purchased from our organic garden.

Activities including winter activities:: Yellowstone Park is only 9 1/2 miles away, with its geothermal features and wildlife - grizzly and black bears, wolves, mountain lions, moose, elk, deer, etc. Whether it's horseback riding, whitewater rafting, hiking, or fishing Yellowstone River and its many streams, creeks, lakes and ponds - you'll find it all right at your doorstep at Yellowstone Riverview Cabin! An added bonus is private stained glass lessons at the owner's studio.

This is a great place for a winter trip, because it's close to Gardiner, the only entrance to the Park that is car-accessible year round all the way through to Tower Falls, the Lamar Valley and Cooke City. Many groomed trails for cross-country skiing are located along this road. Xanterra Parks and Resorts offers guided snowmobile tours and snow coach rides Yellowstone Park which leave from Mammoth Hot Springs. They also rent snowmobiles, skies, and snow shoes.

What a pure delight your place is! We loved our visit to the park but also loved having your hillside cabin as our home base. Comfortably and thoughtfully equipped with all that we needed with the added pleasure of your creative, skillful touches of beauty everywhere. Our crew loved just hanging out in the evenings, playing cards and talking. Thank you for providing the perfect base for our holiday.

PS: Thanks for the "locals" tips - very helpful!

Dear El and John, I really did enjoy your house. You are an amazing artist and I really love your artwork. We bought some of your stained glass and I can't wait till we hang it up in our kitchen. We saw lots of wildlife and went on a lot of hikes. Tired, we came back to your house and slept like a baby. I really love Montana and Yellowstone and thought Old Faithful was really cool. Thanks again!!! (son, age 12)

Relaxing riverview studio

5 of 5
Submitted: August 6, 2012 Stayed: July 2012
This was our first trip to YNP, the property is close enough to get to everything in a reasonable drive, yet allowed an escape to tranquility each evening. John and El are very helpful as others have stated. The property is quite clean, and readily accomodated our party of six plus our small dog. Interesting hiking locales and river rafting just north of the park are nearby. Paradise valley is aptly named and was a beautiful surprise. Gardiner seemed a more genuine town than West Yellowstone and offers several reasonable restaurants. GTNP and YNP are bucket list worthy and I would not hesitate to direct friends to this property.

Dear El and John,
I enjoyed my stay very much. The beds are comfy. Much better than staying in a motel. Yellowstone was fantastic and we saw three wolves, a bunch of bears and an abundance of other animals. Your house is beautiful and very nice. I hope to come again. (Daughter - 13 years old) ~

PS: Your cabin provided us with a home away from home. The stained glass artistry is very beautiful.

Beautiful house - great hospitality!

5 of 5

Thank you, Elenor and John, for a wonderful vacation. The house is beautiful, the scenes are amazing and your hospitality a joy. We hiked and ran around the mountains surrounding the house and we loved it. My Dad climbed for hours almost every day. The proximity to all the natural wonders is unbeatable. Horseback riding, Chico Hot Springs, walking and just hanging out and playing in the house - we loved all of it. The space was really perfect like so many others who have written in here. We would like to come back again, maybe this summer when we could do more outside, but even staying home was pretty great. ~
I (the grandfather) made it to the cave on Sphinx Mountain above our cabin. No bear - it's about 20 feet deep and the view from the top of that great rock formation is awesome. I went to the top four times. Hallelujah! Knees hurt but well worth it. About two hours to get there but worth every slide! The whole family had a great time and Sage is one good dog!

We thought that the cabin was perfect and the first day my eight year old kept running around saying how cool everything was and asking if we could live there forever because it was his dream home. My eleven year old and my sixteen year old also thought the cabin was incredible. We stayed there with my parents and my three kids. It was the perfect place to spend the Christmas holiday and the heated floors made everyone feel so cozy. The stained glass is just as beautiful as all of the reviews we had read. Yellowstone in winter was amazing and unique and we skied to Tower Falls and the upper loop at Mammoth. We also took a snow coach into Old Faithful which was really fun for everyone and got some amazing pictures of buffalo and elk. On the ski we even saw a badger! Being able to come home and have enough space for all seven of us and cook a great meal (we cooked a huge turkey dinner for Christmas) was priceless. We met John (the owner) and he was very nice. Our doggies enjoyed it as well and they were nice enough to let us bring more than one pup. Our only compliant was that we could not stay longer. Nobody wanted to go home and we thought that a week and a half would have been better than a week!

Owner's Response: We are so happy you and your family enjoyed your Christmas here at the cabin - it was a pleasure to have you. Thank you for the delicious molasses candy, it was such a wonderful treat! Hope you can come back soon and your beautiful dogs are more than welcome.
