Cabin By The River~ 10 minutes from the north entrance to Yellowstone Park



Cabin By the River was built in 1995 and rests on the banks of the Yellowstone River, 10.5 miles north of Gardiner, Montana, the only year around entrance to Yellowstone Park. We have fully recovered from the historic 2022 flood and enjoy full access to Yellowstone Park. The cabin is situated on about 5 acres in the upper Paradise Valley, south of Yankee Jim Canyon and north of Corwin Springs, Montana. We enjoy a country setting with neighbors across grassy fields.

The cabin is decorated in country cabin decor and will sleep five. There is a queen bed in the main floor bedroom and a queen and a single bed in the sleeping loft. The front porch overlooks the river and offers a porch swing, table and chairs and a gas bbq. For rainy days, there are reading materials, games, Dish TV and DVD player with a selection of movies. The small kitchen offers a full size range and refrigerator. Dishes, utensils, coffee maker, crock pot & a brief pantry are provided.

The bathroom is a tub/shower combination. Linens, towels and paper products are provided.

Wifi service is available but caution that we are in a mountainous area and it is sometimes undependable. Your Verizon cell phone works well but is the predominant cell Service in our area.

We have a fire ring down along side the river for marsh mellow roasting or just enjoying.
In the grassy area above the cabin there is a swing set, yard games and tether ball, lots of area to run and play. Fishing in the Yellowstone River from our property can be successful and a great experience in a blue ribbon trout stream.

We are only 10 minutes to Gardiner, the north entrance to Yellowstone. Our guests enjoy coming out of the Park in the evening to the quiet setting of the Cabin By the River. We do have a 4 night minimum.

Lovely spot!

This was a lovely spot to use as our home base for our Yellowstone visit. The kids loved the bedroom loft and we all loved the front porch overlooking the river! Our hosts were attentive and we found a great restaurant in Gardiner (Wonderland Cafe) that we ate at twice. We will stay here again if we’re ever back in the area!

Beautiful and quiet

Very gracious host, beautiful location and quiet. Next to the river just made our end of the day. Just outside of town which we loved as we are from the country and like the peace and quiet. We will definitely try to rent it again when and if we go back to Yellowstone

Book it!!

This was such an amazing place to stay and the photos don’t do it justice! We had absolutely everything we needed and more, the hosts were friendly and gave great advice, and the location was close to town and the Yellowstone north entrance but far enough away to get some peace and privacy. The cabin itself was super clean and the decor was so cute. The property has direct access to the Yellowstone river and has a great fire pit right by the rivers edge. We will definitely be back again!

Warren and Chris cabin on the river was wonderful and so relaxing we didnt want to leave! They thought of everything and we loved it! Watching and hearing the yellowstone river off of the deck was so nice every day and night...seeing the eagles fly by. If you want a quiet lovely cabin you will not be disappointed. My only regret is not using the new bbq grill they provided! From Iowa.

Wonderful experience! Loved being on the river and having a beautiful mountain view. The cabin was homey with little extras that made the experience even better. Watched otters play from the porch, had easy access to nearby Gardiner and Yellowstone park, and loved sitting on the peaceful porch to enjoy the river sights and sounds. Lovely cabin on the river, would highly recommend.

Relaxing cabin close to Yellowstone

This cabin is a perfect place for solitude. I traveled with my mom and my two teenage children. Cabin was filled with everything we could need. Kitchen pots and plans, plenty of blankets, beautifully decorated, and a grill on the porch. I would highly recommend this cabin and hope to stay again in the future.

The cabin is in a perfect location, just a short drive into town and an entrance into the park. My favorite part was the deck overlook the Yellowstone river! The owner was very nice and welcoming. Sad our stay is over.
