Enjoy The Sound of The Yellowstone River and The Sights of Yellowstone and the surrounding mountains from this beautifully remodeled vacation rental. Located just around the corner from The North Gate of Yellowstone in Gardiner, Montana, this rental was lovingly remodeled and decorated to be comfortable, welcoming and stylish.
We named this rental Water House Two because the original wooden Water Tower used to stand on this property until the 1960's and the original stone Pump House is situated just below on the river. During the remodel and revision of the original house and the property we found old receipts from Gardiner Residents water payments and buried water house gear and parts.
Located in a nice neighborhood, everything is within walking distance. The quaint mountain town of Gardiner, Montana (Population 800) is the original entrance to Yellowstone National Park and the only entrance open all year.
You can stroll to dinner, shopping and to The Headquarters of Yellowstone Forever for Ranger and Naturalist Talks. The Boiling River, popular for soaking, is just inside the park gate and Mammoth Hot Springs is located 15 minutes from the house and the new Yellowstone Hot Springs is just North of Town, about 15 minutes.
This is a 1,200sq/ft. Lower Unit with another rental above. The house was originally one and with the new remodel, it has been made into two separate units. Bedroom 1 has a queen size bed and Bedroom 2 has two twin beds. The Kitchen has a Pantry, Senseo Coffee Maker (we include the coffee for you), Toaster, Microwave, Mixing Bowls, Picnic Basket, cooking and eating utensils.The Living Room has a 55 SmartTV, large comfy couch and oversize chair. You can Log into Your Prime, Netflix, Disney+, etc.. Accounts. We already have DirecTV Service for The TV. The bathroom has double sinks and a hair dryer and towels for your convenience. Canned lighting, French Doors and new windows have been installed to make the rental bright and to bring in the surroundings. Each bedroom has a window or windows that open to the river.
Parking is on the street. Please do not park in front of Quimby Cabin next door.
River access is just around the block.
Children 5 years old and up only unless previously approved.
* CHECK IN IS BETWEEN 4PM AND 9PM UNLESS A LATER TIME HAS BEEN ARRANGED WITH OWNERS.
* * PLEASE REMEMBER THAT THIS IS A LOWER UNIT SO THERE MAY BE GUESTS UPSTAIRS AND YOU MAY BE ABLE TO HEAR FOOTSTEPS OR MOVEMENT ABOVE. We have done everything construction wise to damper noise.
We own Paradise Adventure Company and Yellowstone Raft Company. Please let us know if you are interested in any fun Activities during Your Stay.
We look forward to Hosting you!!

    Property has great views of the Yellowstone River and Park. It is well-furnished with lots of space and a great kitchen. Three major negatives: 1. No sound proofing between basement and upper floor. We were in the basement and could hear every footstep, noise, etc. 2. The lock on the outside door is more than a little difficult and the owner will talk down to you about it - very condescending. 3. No ADA with parking, sidewalks, and stairs. A few other nits and noise but great location and otherwise a good rental.

    EXCELLENT location in and out of the park and walking distance to restaurants. The home was very comfortable and made for a good spot on rest days. The views are spectacular and we saw elk on the river, walking through town, and even had one bed down right outside the window. It was very well stocked and had everything we needed plus more!

    Everything was very nice. Two points to consider: the dogs come down and do their business right outside the basement unit. One of our party stepped in it, not cool! Also the washer needs work on the detergent door and the main door. Everything else was in good working order and the decor, especially the kitchen was beautiful! Thank you

    We loved Gardiner & our rental was so nice! The river running next to us was beautiful! The house across the river actually had a mama and baby black bear in their yard two nights in a row! Had everything we needed in the kitchen was well stocked, only suggestion I would have is to have saran wrap and tinfoil otherwise our stay was absolutely wonderful!!

    Best views in Gardiner. Rafted down the Yellowstone river, and loved it. Watched Elk swim across the river and feed nightly in the lawn across the river. We rented the lower unit, next time it will be the upper for the extra space and king size bed. The convenience of the entry into Yellowstone was perfect.

    This property is clean, modern, and comfortable. It had everything we needed (shampoo, body soap, coffee, cooking oil, silverware, cookware, etc.), and the beds and furniture were very comfortable. The property is about a mile from the Yellowstone entrance and was within walking distance of restaurants. The river view was fantastic. I would not recommend families with small children to stay here because the rail protecting the patio from the cliff overlooking the river could easily be breeched by a small child. Also, the property is not handicap accessible. When we first arrived, we did have trouble finding the property because the instructions were not clear. Having pointed out this minor inconvenience, we absolutely loved the property. We would certainly rebook on any future visits.Jim K

    The property was very clean and updated. The location was excellent, walkable to town, and very close to the Yellowstone entrance. . However, the entry through the back gate for traveling guests was difficult to maneuver luggage through the gravel and passageway to the door was a little cluttered.

    Exactly as described and right on the river. I enjoyed a cup of coffee every morning watching a small herd of elk across the river and listening to river run past. So peaceful and you could walk anywhere in town within minutes. Side note: it is the lower unit so upstairs guest can cause some noise with walking across the floor but it’s still five stars worthy in my book.

This property is also walking distance to restaurants and stores. We walked to the park entrance for pictures and drove into the park with no traffic. The property owners were accommodating. We had a pleasant stay while visiting Yellowstone Park.

    This property is just as described. It is walking distance to everything in downtown Gardiner and the Roosevelt Arch. The property is well maintained and updated. Had everything we needed. There were only 2 things to be aware of. The description says it is a bottom floor unit which means you could possibly hear the unit above. I dont know that it would have been a huge issue, but it wasnt just footsteps. The floorboards squeak as well. Unfortunately the couple above us woke early and from 5-630am everyday we heard very loud footsteps and squeaking from the floorboards. It was the same at night when my children were trying to sleep.The second is there are a decent amount of bugs that make their way into the unit. It is montana, so to be expected, but just be aware. My son was stung by something in the middle on the night while he was sleeping that caused his forearm to swell. There is not an urgent care or emergency room in gardiner so was a little worried about what might have happened if the swelling went further than his arm.

It was very well stocked and clean with great attention to the little details. I loved that it also had a washer and dryer so that I could wash clothes during our trip. The only issue we had is that you can definitely hear the people staying above (which they do note in the description of the property). Overall, a great place to stay!

    We stayed three nights in the downstairs apartment and were delighted with it. Perched over the Yellowstone River with views up towards the park, the apartment is very comfortable and well equipped. Everything feels new and clean, the beds are super comfortable and you will find pretty much anything you might need for cooking.There is another apartment above but while we were there the sound from the tenants was not intrusive. It is a peaceful corner of town with easy walking access to the few shops and eateries (we would recommend Wonderland for their excellent food). We were three adults, and I think the place would be perfect for a family of four. I would definitely stay here again.

    The location and condition of the property was excellent. The dogs next dog were large exuberant friendly. Almost too friendly as I got knocked over. The ice at the bottom of the step was a problem. Fortunately the one fall we had did not result in an injury. I realize that the melting and refreezing that was going on made that an unusual problem but I did hope for some treatment with sand after I mentioned it. Again it’s a delightful location.
