Mountain King Cabin above the Yellowstone River--Six Blocks to Yellowstone Park

The Mountain King Cabin is an amazing place to call home during your visit to Yellowstone Park. Located in the heart of Gardiner, on the banks of the Yellowstone River, it is just a mile from the north entrance to Yellowstone Park. The house faces south looking into the park highlighting stunning views of 11,000 foot Electric Peak. You can literally look out the windows, or off the deck and see: elk, antelope, deer, and occasionally bears and wolves roaming the hillsides of Yellowstone.

This rustic Montana log cabin is an inviting, airy open space for groups size 6-8 people with a fun loft for the kids! Stay in this beautiful cabin, AND spend a couple days rafting, horseback riding, and viewing wild life inside Yellowstone. With two nearby hot springs to soak in, hiking, and fishing, the outdoor fun is endless. It's easy and all in one place! Located in the heart of Gardiner, take an evening stroll around town shopping or over to grab a bite to eat. Large groups can book our neighboring Yellowstone cabins the Eagles Nest and Grizzly Den.....perfect for multi-family vacations!
We are located about an hour from the Bozeman Airport.

This cabin was perfect for my family of 7. The views from the deck were stunning and was a great way to start the day with coffee or end the day with the sunset. The kitchen was pretty well stocked and we put the grill to good use. If we come back in the area I’d stay here again.

Best cabin of our getaway

Kids loved sleeping upstairs and great porch. Parking was not a problem and laundry had 3 large washers and 3 large dryers available. (They were my top concerns and turned out fantastic.) Kids were everywhere playing hide and seek and it was very clean.

Everything was perfect. Thoughtful touches like bear spray to utilize during our stay, black washcloths for makeup removal, extra blankets, and a fully equipped kitchen and prep table. Beautiful bathroom and the view from the porch was unbeatable. Laundry onsite was super helpful for a family of five with littles.

Best stay while visiting Yellowstone

This was the perfect place for the last three nights of our trip. Had room to spread out, the views were amazing, walking to restaurants was so nice. We had a designated parking spot and never had an issue. I’ll be recommending this place to all friends visiting the park. Never a line to get through the gate!

Early Season Trip to Yellowstone

Very nice cabin with a great view. Parking is a challenge as it is in an alley behind a row of businesses facing Main Street. Multiple lights at the peak of the ceiling did not work reading at night was difficult. Great location for a fair price so we had plenty of time each day in the park, and cooked our own South Louisiana breakfast and dinner each day!

Was a great place to tour Yellowstone. Conveniently located and so close with great views. The Town lacks restaurants but that’s on Gardiner house was good, though parking can be strained.

Yellowstone River Perfect Stay

We recently stayed for three nights at this property while visiting Yellowstone. The location in Gardiner was so quaint and peaceful and we loved being in a property that overlooked the river. The cabin was well appointed and the extra touches of having toddler utensils, access to a booster seat and a safety gate was so thoughtful. We also enjoyed the comfortable beds and having coolers to use during our visits to the park. Check in and check out were very easy. Parking was very tight but you can’t beat waking up to the sounds of the river. The only drawback is the early morning rafting trips that launch next to the property. The line to lower the rafts is directly next to the two bedrooms and if you are hoping to sleep past eight then you are out of luck. Luckily we were up early so this was not an issue. Great cabin for a trip to the area and lots of coffee shops and local restaurants to dine at or grab food as you head into the parks.

An awesome place in an awesome town!

The Mountain King was such a cute and cozy place to stay, with that incredible balcony overlooking the beautiful Yellowstone River! The only issue, and I’d read on some reviews about it, is that we were never able to park in that one offered spot! There was a permanent car parked several feet into that very narrow space!😁
