Excellent accommodation - clean, comfortable, welcoming

Great location in Gardiner at the North entrance to the Park. This beautiful yellow cottage has two bedrooms and two bathrooms. The owners have attended to every detail and nothing is missing. Everything works and it is convenient for Gardiner's general store, filling station, and many bars, pubs and grills. Try the Antler Pub and Grill across the road for atmosphere and reasonable prices. We stayed three nights and recommend this little gem.

Best place in Gardiner!

Location is outstanding! Secluded enough, but you can walk to The Corral restaurant and the grocery store. The owners are extremely attentive and even baked brownies for our arrival, a lovely touch! Place was very clean, comfortable and had a great and private back patio. Elks and baby elk arrived in the back on multiple mornings and even ate grass 7ft outside the front door! The kids were amazed. Can’t imagine finding a better place in Gardiner! Highly recommend.

Amazing beautiful home in quiet neighborhood

We absolutely loved this house. We have stayed at many VRBO in the past and this far surpasses any. From the fresh warm brownies when we walked in the front door , to special requests for picnic in the park chairs and a table lamp..things just magically appeared. Awesome hosts with the most! The furniture was luxurious, the back patio and gardens amazing. We did the Yellowstone hot spring on our hosts suggestion, best morning ever. Hot springs surrounded by mountains. Elk visiting us, momma deer and her twins in our yard and we could walk to town for dinner. If I could give this home 6 stars I would. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Yellowstone yellow house

Beyond a doubt this is best overall experience we have had with rental properties in the last twenty years. The location was perfect for the park and fly fishing. We saw more elk and mule deer in our yard then in the park. The owners were great to work with. A perfect property that was stocked with everything we needed. There was a grocery store close to the house if you forgot anything. Will book this house again the next time we are in Yellowstone.

Perfect vacation turns challenging

All praises for the Yellow Cottage and the hosts are true and accurate. There are absolutely no negative comments from us. We had the unique and historic experience of being in Gardiner when Yellowstone River flooded, and washed out roads in and out of Gardiner. We were scheduled to leave so being isolated brought some anxious thoughts. Thanks to JoLynn for constant communication and information about the situation. At all times we felt safe, and we were so comfortable in the house. Our hopes and prayers are that others can experience this ideal location in the future.

Beautiful Yellow Cottage

Excellent, warm and inviting host who left delicious brownies at checkin. The brownies were much needed after a long travel =). The cottage is very clean and the kitchen is well stocked. We saw elks in the back during our stay. The back patio has grill and patio furnitures excellent for a relaxing break, though we did not get to use (spent much of our time at the park). Excellent location when visiting Yellowstone and groceries and restaurants are within walking distance. Definitely will come back when we visit Yellowstone again.

Great house

We loved staying in the yellow house while visiting Yellowstone. The house was super comfortable and really well stocked with anything you could need from kitchen stuff to bear spray to a cooler. It was also well organized so everything was easy to find. We loved arriving to brownies too! The absolute highlight for us was sitting in the backyard in the morning and getting visits from the elk in the area. The drive to Yellowstone was super quick and made it easier to come "home" from the park during the busy part of the day. We would stay here again anytime we came back to Yellowstone!
