What's nearby

  • The Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone offers different dramatic looks and moods dependent on the time of day. The falls are luminous in the morning. In the evening when this photo was taken, the canyon takes on a soft, almost painterly light. If you can, make a visit right after sunrise and return for the sunset.
    Yellowstone River
    3 min walk - 0.3 km
  • We visited this location but ideally needed to be there in the afternoon as the sun was on the "wrong" side of the arch. I used a wide lens to capture the arch and didn't attempt to correct the distortion as I felt it added to the picture (for me anyway). It took a long time to get this without hoardes of people in the shot.

This small place was perfect for the two of us for a short stay. Very clean and new, and great location for visiting Mammoth Springs. Though you could have 4 people in this unit, it would be very crowded. No place for kids to play outside, as there is only a gravel seating area. I’d recommend for two travelers

Comfy & Convenient to Yellowstone National Park

The unit was just as pictured and described - like new, modern and comfortable decor, and conveniently located to Yellowstone National Park and area restaurants and activities. The neighborhood was unexpectedly like an alleyway and all the buildings were crowded in together, however, this building was newer and very nice and you could enjoy some views of the mountains. The unit was conveniently stocked with everything we needed, and we truly enjoyed our stay!

Amazing place to stay in Gardiner

This is one of the most amazing places to stay in Gardiner, Montana. The property was immaculate. It was very tastefully decorated, and was a wonderful find. The hosts are amazing, and made this the easiest VRBO stay I will be booking here again in the future.

Stay in Gardiner

Very nice accommodations. The parking lot and entrance are located off an alley. It appears many of the surrounding buildings have some renovation going on, so the area is probably on the upswing. Very quiet. Easy access to amenities in town.

Modern Delight

Sparkling clean modern studio apartment so close to northern entrance of Yellowstone National Park. Owner reached out personally when answering question. Lovely start up extras. Gorgeous shower area. A group of Elk literally walked down our street each day. Only suggestion is a bit of space for hanging or placing clothes. Would return for sure and highly recommend.

Great stay!

Loved how close this was to the north entrance of Yellowstone! Easy check-in process. Clean. I agree with other reviews that it would have been really nice to have a couple luggage racks for suitcases though, as there wasn’t a great place to put those. It would also be nice if there was a way to turn off the blue light on the mirror in the bathroom, as it is bright at night if you like it completely dark when falling asleep. More so personal preference though. Would definitely stay here again!

Gardiner Visit

Stayed for 3 nights while visiting Yellowstone. Property was clean and in a convenient location within walking distance of entire town. Had issues getting the induction stove working and called property manager for help but never received a return call. Eventually figured it out on our own. Apartment could use some storage space for clothing but otherwise had everything we needed. We enjoyed our stay.

Very nice stay

Very nice stay. Modern well equipped unit. Clean . Comfortable. Could use a long bench at foot of bed for luggage. A boot tray at entrance would be a good thing. Road to unit is very rough, potted. Also short one parking space. Don't stay out late or you have no space to park your vehicle.

Good, but…

New property so everything was neat and clean. Listed as one bedroom but is really just a studio apt. No closet or even a rack or shelf to put suitcase like in a hotel. Had to lay suitcases on the floor. Bathroom sink area is very small and not enough room to get ready (according to my wife). Furniture is ikea so probably won’t last long and not the most comfortable. The bed is the same. New but low quality. The cheap drapes and blinds do not block out the light. I need a dark room to sleep. The vanity mirror is fancy and has lights but they don’t turn off completely so more light to keep me awake. (Personal preference but diminished my opinion). Shower and toilet were nice. Weird to mention the toilet but it was square and new and worked. 😃 The coffee mugs are too small. Even the minimum amount of water in the machine overflows the mug. Had to have a second mug ready to go and swap them during the brew. If the room cost $$per night I would say it is great, but for $$$$ per night, it is pretty basic. Higher rating because it is very new but I won’t be staying here again. Location in Gardiner is a the main draw. Close to Yellowstone. The hotel is on a dirt road so not sure I would want to drive there in the rain.
