Electric Peak Cabin in Yellowstone Park

NORTH PARK ENTRANCE AT GARDINER. This Yellowstone Cabin Rental Is On Private Acreage Five Miles From The Park's North Gate with the Best Wildlife Watching And Cutthroat Trout Fishing!

Charming cabin built in 2009 with two bedrooms that sleeps 5 located just five minutes from Yellowstone Park's North Entrance on several acres of private property. Perfect for travelers who want easy access to the famous Northern Range and Lamar Valley with its bison, elk, deer, wolves, bears, AND fishing for world-famous Yellowstone cutthroat trout!

This beautiful cabin is unlike all other vacation rental properties in the area. Lying in an extremely private location just above Highway 89 north of Gardiner, Montana, and the Roosevelt Arch, the cabin is easily accessed by a well-maintained, short, 300 yard-long Private Drive.

This setting provides you with total solitude and isolation from any hustle and bustle of the busy roadways leading to/from the park. However, at the same time, when needed, you are just minutes away from restaurants, the market, and shops in Gardiner or a bit further away in Livingston and Bozeman.

Built on a log frame, this cabin has all modern amenities yet has a great amount of rustic appeal including beautiful hardwood floors. It has enormous windows giving you unmatched views of Yellowstone's Electric Peak, Devil's Slide, Dome Mountain, and many other spectacular geological features. Wildlife abound here and deer, elk, pronghorn antelope, bighorn sheep, or bison are seen on the meadows and mountain slopes near the cabin. Often during the spring and fall, they are standing right in the cabin's yard. No-where else in the northern Rockies will you find wildlife this abundant and close in a natural setting.

Horses graze nearby, and the Yellowstone River, home to world-class trout fishing, leaves the park and passes just a few hundred yards below you.

There are many access sites to the Yellowstone River very near to the cabin, one within easy walking distance (that is a very great fishing spot...just ask our boys!).

Being near Gardiner, our cabin is at the home of the Yellowstone Forever, a long-standing educational institute offering numerous courses in the park. The Electric Peak Cabin is a perfect place to stay when visiting and attending these courses.

Perfect location and wonderful host. While small this two bedroom cabin was located just a few miles from the entrance to Yellowstone National Park and only about 1.5 hours away from the Bozeman airport. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and the constant elk in the yard!

First time to Yellowstone

Loved our stay at Electric Peak cabin! It was peaceful and relaxing yet close to Gardiner and Yellowstone. We enjoyed watching the elk from the cabin and hearing them in the morning.

Checking in was very easy, we arrived a little early and were able to access early! Exactly what we wanted for vacation… little cabin in the mountains and to be able to have coffee in the morning enjoying the view of the mountains. Master bed could be updated but overall it made the start of vacation awesome!! Great location to access Yellowstone. Todd was a good host & came and talked with us when checking on horses. Would definitely stay there again & have recommended to others already!

Check in was very smooth, all instructions were clear and property was easy to find thanks to well-placed signage. Kitchen items worked well. Perfect 10 other than the curtains in the guest room were too transparent to sleep (we went to bed early to get to early morning hikes/tours), and the shower nozzle was very wide spraying/difficult to use. Very minor things, otherwise great stay! Would come again.

Great location just outside Yellowstone. A herd of elk hung around the cabin. Cabin is cozy and well stocked with utensils, towels etc… Good WiFi. Could use a new mattress and shower head. Couldn’t dispose of our garbage because the disposal site hours are 9AM to 4PM

Charming log cabin near Gardiner

Beautiful first visit to Montana and Yellowstone. Loved our first VRBO experience with Todd and the Electric Peak cabin. It was wonderful to be in our own little space away from everyone, but still be close enough to town and the north entrance to Yellowstone. Thank you, Todd! We'll never forget this vacation!

Great get awsy

We came and stayed so we would be close to the entrance to Yellowstone park. We spent 4 nights and spent everyday in the park. Awesome to be able to come 5 miles outside of Gardiner, north.We would return.

Honeymoon!

My husband and I always had a Montana trip on our bucket list, we made it happen as part of our honeymoon! This cabin was cozy and have amazing views right from the front porch! As well as amazing wildlife… buffalo, osprey nest right on the property, mule deer, and lots and lots of elk!!

Great place

Very peaceful location and easy access to the park and hot springs. Bed we slept in was very comfortable. Sitting on the deck with the view was great. The only negative was the futon furniture was uncomfortable to sit on but we weren't at the house sitting that much since we were in the park most of the day. I would definitely stay here again. Todd was also very responsive any time I reached out. Great place!!!

Beautiful Gateway to Yellowstone

Our stay at the cabin was amazing. The cabin is only minutes from Yellowstone, while still giving that secluded, country stay. We enjoyed watching the sunsets and gazing at the stars. Each night at dusk my family and I watched a massive herd of elk come down from the mountains and graze in the hay fields across the river. The cabin was equipped with everything we needed and then some. Gardiner is only minutes away if you need anything else during the stay. Todd always responded promptly with any questions we had. I would recommend this to anyone visiting Yellowstone.

Good location

The cabin was cute and in a good location. It could use some improvements such as replacing the broken trash can, more kitchen necessities and more comfortable living room furniture. We found it to be a little too small for four adults; however we were basically there just to sleep. The shower is also very small and I’m only 5’ tall. That said, the views were beautiful, it’s close to town and lots of wildlife.

Perfect!

The Electric Peak Cabin is the perfect get away! It was close to Yellowstone but far enough away from the park that it was relaxing. Todd, the owner, was fabulous and great to talk with. He was responsive to messages. While the cabin is near other houses and vacation rentals, its location makes it feel deceptively isolated. Herds of elk we’re passing by when we were there. Definitely recommend this cabin.

Unbeatable views

This was the perfect basecamp for our Yellowstone family adventure. The cabin had everything we needed to maximize our time together. We could tell there is a lot of pride taken in how it is maintained, with lots of details to make us feel comfortable and at home. Cleanilness is A. Views are A - Electric Peak is out the enormous front window (we got a short lightening show in the distance - so cool), elk walked right into the front yard, and an osprey hung out on a nearby roost. It is close to many adventures - horseback riding, white water rafting, and Yellowstone itself. We had the best time and would stay again 100%.

Amazing

This cabin is cozy and in a perfect location. Good food around, I recommend Cowboy’s Grill. If you are looking to fish there are good spots around too. Like 8 minutes away from the North Entrance of YNP. So much wildlife around the property and looks out to Devil’s Slide.
