These are nice cottages overlooking the Yellowstone river with mountains in the background. They have a raised deck and Bistro tables and chairs by the river overlook. Daily housekeeping is provided and staff was wonderful and on site. I'd gladly return, especially in summer. d area with ch

We had cottage 12 with a balcony and you see the mountains and hear the river below. The cottage was clean and well kept and was great for a 3-4 day stay. Everything you needed was a 5-10 minute easy walk; restaurants, groceries, souvenirs. A definite place to stay again. I don't do reviews regularly.

Ashley at check in was great. Very helpful. All staff interaction were very good. Unit 13 14 had balcony above the river. We stayed in room 14. Definitely will stay again. Ate at the Wonderland Cafe. It was very good. We love Gardiner in the Winter. Enjoyed going 6 miles north of town to Yellowstone Hot Springs. All in all had a great trip. Will definitely stay longer next time.

Good base for Yellowstone

Reasonable place to stay in Gardiner. Has full kitchen so you can cook meals (the gas stove runs too hot and can't simmer well). Much cheaper than staying in Mammoth hotel. Negative are that the cottages are next to the main road and be be noisy. Also the blinds don't block out the street lights.

We really enjoyed our two separate stays at Yellowstone Riverside Cottages. The cottages are super clean and comfortable (even during subzero, as in -20 or lower, temperatures). The cottages are only 15 minutes from the Mammoth Hotel in Yellowstone NP which is the jumping off point for snow coach trips to Old Faithful. The gentlemen working the front desk (James and Joe, I believe) were very professional and courteous. We were also able to check in early during out last stay. I highly recommend the Yellowstone Riverside Cottages and would gladly stay there again. Thank you. George from Idaho.

Great room; annoying light

The room was super clean and comfortable, the service was friendly, and the location was perfect for us. My only complaint is that there was a motion sensor light outside that kept coming on all night. I closed the window shade, but it was very thin and didn’t block the light, and there wasn’t any other window covering available. I woke up every time the light switched on. Other than that, our overnight stay was perfect.
