YEAR ROUND, a Cozy Studio for 2, Overlooking the Historic Yellowstone Arch

NEW Studio, Full Bathroom, Full Kitchen, Private Entry, Peaceful Yard with Views
Available year-round, enjoy the peace, quiet, snow and skiing in the winter; the abundant wildlife in the shoulder seasons and the hiking, rafting and scenery in the summer months.

"Where The Buffalo Rooms" a studio apartment situated up on a bluff above the town of Gardiner, Montana with amazing views of the historic Yellowstone Arch, Electric Peak and the North Entrance to Yellowstone National Park.

Our walk-out studio apartment comes equipped with all the comforts of home including a pillow-top, queen bed, full bathroom with tub and hand-held shower head and a full kitchen. The sofa with extended chaise is the perfect spot to relax, catch a movie or check your email after a full-day exploring Yellowstone! The full kitchen will allow you to fix your own meals and pack lunches in the available cooler for your journey into the Park. Smart TV and Wireless Internet are included.

What we love about our home is that it is "in town" without being down on the main street. Our secluded lot is located up on the hill, about a five minute walk to downtown Gardiner where you will find shopping, restaurants, raft companies and more! The studio has an outside patio and lawn directly by the unit. Barbecue your dinner while admiring the view! There is private parking and a separate gated entry down to the unit. Our home is located up a dirt road, hill. Winter reservations will need an All-Wheel drive vehicle to be sure of access, even though the owner plows daily. Exterior security cameras are present on the property.

We keep our reservation calendar updated to the minute and our description on this page is accurate. So if you feel this is the spot for your next vacation and your dates are available on our calendar, you are welcome to book directly without contacting us (use Instant Booking option). Just follow VRBO's process with your credit card. We will be in touch immediately upon booking. If you do have specific questions not answered here, please email Barbara.
NOTE: VRBO sometimes INCORRECTLY lists our unit as a one bedroom, this is INCORRECT, it is definitely a STUDIO.

The best of the best

Our stay was the best of the best--inside and out! The view from the outside sitting areas can't be beat! Beautiful views of the mountains, with stunning sunrises and sunsets. This clean and comfortable studio rental had everything we needed for an enjoyable stay. The kitchen was well stocked, and the roomy bathroom was thoughtfully appointed with extras to make our stay enjoyable. The bed and living area were very comfortable--our stay was the best of the best. Thank you for providing such a wonderful experience! We would love to return!

This property was beautifully appointed, comfortable and cozy. It was like coming home after a long day of sightseeing. The host took thought of whatever you might need. We only stayed 2 nights but if Yellowstone wasn’t such a large park to travel in and out of, I would stayed all week

Buffalo Room stay for Yellowstone

My spouse and I stayed at the Buffalo Room while we visited Yellowstone. It was the perfect size for 2 and the patio grille and fire table were awesome. A special note was the communication with Barbara. I had a request for her and the communication was timely and responsive. Will definitely stay again.

Perfect stay in Gardiner

My husband and I stayed at the Buffalo Room for the last 2 nights of our Yellowstone trip. It had everything we needed, was super quiet, clean and comfortable and with a great view of the Roosevelt arch! Easy access to Yellowstone, and the binoculars came in handy to spot a grizzy far away on a ridge. Would definitely stay here again on our next Yellowstone trip!
