Grizzly Den - Above the River! Yellowstone mountain views and Air Conditioning!

The Grizzly Den is an amazing place to call home during your visit to Montana. Come play in Yellowstone and the Gardiner Basin-Paradise Valley! Rafting, horseback riding, hot springs, fishing, hiking, dining, cross county skiing, wildlife viewing, and of course Yellowstone Park is all accessible within minutes. We will help you plan a great trip! This Air Conditioned 2 bedroom home has two additional separate loft areas for adding sleeping. We are located above the banks of the Yellowstone River and less than a mile from the north entrance to Yellowstone. We are in the heart of Gardiner, MT making it an easy evening stroll to local dining and shopping; or stay back and enjoy grilling on the deck over looking the river.
The house has 18 windows facing south into the park highlighting the stunning views of 11,000 ft 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. Bring your binoculars!
We are located about an hour from the Bozeman Airport.

Property is located next to some other questionable properties, cars and apartments missing windows, etc. Property owner was unresponsive for basic questions after we checked in. Window in the loft is broken/shattered with a sign on it. Several parts of the property were dirty. Definitely not worth the price. Very limited hot water.

Enjoyed our stay, place was very clean and nice. Only issues we had was going up the spiral staircase with our suitcases. The other couple we traveled with could not have gotten up there due to some mobility restrictions. Also the parking was so limited. Host was very easy to communicate with.

Can’t beat the location, walking distance to everything in town, beautiful vista of mountains and river off the back deck, and 2 min to North Entrance of YNP. Parking is a little tight but manageable, and as others have mentioned the staircase upstairs is very narrow and difficult to navigate - there is no getting a large suitcase upstairs.

Location with challenges

Great location in Gardiner. But found droppings in silverware and utensils drawer so we washed everything the whole time. Rest of the place was really clean so... parking is a major challenge, which they acknowledge. Upstairs bed was apparently really comfy. Downstairs one squeaked. Deck is great overlooking river.

Home was exactly as it was listed. It is not a huge house, but it had tons of sleeping areas. My kids loved spreading out and picking fun places to sleep. It has 4 wall unit air conditioners that do a good job keeping it cool. When we arrived they were not turned on so it took most of that evening to get it to a comfortable sleeping temperature, but after that we were able to maintain a good temp. It was cool enough to open windows in the late evening/morning. We wish there was a screen on the sliding door though to enjoy the breeze some more. We enjoyed the view from the deck to the Yellowstone River and seeing the rafters going by. It is a convenient location within minutes of the North Gate entrance. It is situated pretty close to the neighbors on each side and the parking in front is an alleyway behind some businesses. The parking was a little tight, but not too bad. We were told about this in advance so it wasn't a surprise, but it is hard to get a feel of it from the pictures alone. We had a great, quiet stay. It was clean and had what we needed. The only slight inconvenience was that you can only use the laundry from 4:00-9:00pm because it is a shared facility (attached to this rental but you go outside). It wasn't a huge problem, but we were usually still in the park at that time so I had to plan a day around doing laundry. There were multiple high-capacity, commercial washers and dryers though, so I was able to get it all done quickly. Thank you for a nice stay!

Great place to stay!! We really enjoyed Gardiner and the easier access to Lamar Valley in the early dawn hours. Everything was as described. We split our family stay for Yellowstone between Gardiner and West Yellowstone and are glad we did. Different and beneficial experiences from each area.

Yellowstone experience

We were just at this vrbo on Yellowstone River June 23-27. We really enjoyed the deck and the sunset was beautiful!! Nice bathrooms for our group and the grandkids really liked the little sleeping areas upstairs. Walking downtown Gardiner was literally one block and fun places to shop and eat. Entrance to Yellowstone is literally two minutes away. Great stay for the price.Photo is view from our deck. Thankyou!!

Unique Getaway

Grizzly den was a very unique cabin. There were total of 7 adults ranging from the age of 47 to 77. The stairs are very hard to maneuver and to get luggage up there is very difficult. The place sleeps 10, however really only 4 adults privately. The loft and side room is really only made for children and are mattresses on the floor with very little head room. We did not use pull out couch because didn't want to crowd the common area. The 2 double beds are very high but provide step stools to get in. Mattresses are pretty firm. All this being said, the cabin was very well supplied and we made it work for our 3 night stay. Clean and place is short little walk to town. Parking very tight. We enjoyed our stay and the magnificent views. Don't really recommend for this place for such a large group of older adult couples, but for family with kids would be perfect! Saw elk in nearby town of Mammoth. Yellowstone is gorgeous! Host was very accommodating!

Charming and Convenient Stay with Stunning Views!

We stayed at this adorable VRBO in Gardiner for the second half of our Yellowstone trip, and it was a great experience! The property has so much character, with unique loft and nook beds that make it feel cozy and fun—definitely a place kids would love. The views from the house are absolutely breathtaking, and the location couldn’t be better. It’s within walking distance to charming shops and restaurants, making it super convenient after a day exploring the park. While the beds could have been a bit more comfortable, for the price and unbeatable location, this place is a fantastic option. We really enjoyed our stay and would recommend it for anyone looking for a charming, budget-friendly home base near Yellowstone!

Great Yellowstone location

This lovely home is conveniently located right outside the gate and yet amongst the shops and restaurants within Gardiner. It was quiet and peaceful with comforts f home. Bone bedroom downstairs and a very tight circular staircase for the other sleeping areas. But my adult kids had no issues navigating them Great back porch with beautiful Mountain View’s! We would definitely choose this property again!

Beautiful views from the back porch! Great place to stay while visiting Yellowstone.

My family of five stayed here for three nights in August while visiting Yellowstone. I had definitely wanted to stay in Gardiner because I had heard such positive things about the town. This home was literally a five minute walk to many restaurants and the Roosevelt entrance of the park. There is also a grocery store that we walked to. We loved the back porch and sat outside listening to the river. The back porch is connected to the back porch of another cabin, but those guests stayed on their side and we stayed on ours and it wasn’t a problem. I had read reviews that the staircase inside was tight, and it was, but it wasn’t a problem for our tall family. We did have to leave our luggage on the main floor because it would not fit going up the staircase, but that wasn’t a big deal. The host had everything ready for us and was easy to communicate with. I had also read that the parking was tight, but we had a large Ford Expedition and just parked parallel to the house as close as we could and we had no problems. And the drive from Yellowstone to Gardiner is really pretty and we enjoyed driving through Mammoth and seeing the elk walking around on our way back-and-forth. I had read how the entrance to West Yellowstone was always crowded with people coming and going, but I never felt like that driving back-and-forth to Gardiner. We really enjoyed our stay here and would stay here again!

Wonderful home with beautiful views of Yellowstone and Gardiner!

Check in was very easy, the hostess gave us great information about the house. The home was roomy enough for the 7 of us. Parking was a little tight. We enjoyed the deck overlooking the Yellowstone River and Gardiner. Beautiful views! The location was within walking distance to shops and restaurants. There were some issues that had to be dealt with while we were there. WiFi had also failed halfway through our visit. All in all, a very nice place.

Great View

Seven adults and 2 children enjoyed the location of the house. The flowing stream right outside was delightful, and Gardiner was a fun community. The house is a little quirky, with 2 "bedrooms" being mattresses on he floor. Only one bedroom was downstairs and the wooden spiral staircase was narrow, which would be challenging for anyone with mobility issues.

We would have liked to use the AC since it was unusually warm the days we were there. The owner never communicated that the AC wasn’t working. Sleeping on the second floor required opening the windows. As we were packing up to leave a crew of repair men arrived ready to do substantial work on it so I suppose the next renter would have a better stay. BTW, there were four trash cans. All were full when we arrived and were overflowing for two of three days. Sorry I couldn’t rave about the whole stay. The porch over the river was wonderful. The parking was in a tight alley with junk from the businesses on the opposite side strewn along most of the alley. That was a little disappointing.
