    We loved this property. My husband and I stayed for three nights while visiting Yellowstone, and it was one of the highlights of our trip. The room was a good size for two people, with a comfortable bed and a full kitchen (stove, oven, microwave, fridge, and dishwasher). Nice bathroom with a combination tub and shower. Everything was very clean, the decor was charming, and the view out the window was spectacular. The owner was friendly and communicative, sending us all the details in advance. We would definitely stay here again!

    This was the favorite place we stayed at during our 2-week trip. It is plenty spacious for two people. We appreciated the large bathroom and full kitchen. It was very clean and comfortable. If you are visiting Yellowstone, this is a great place to stay. Very convenient. Check-in was a breeze. The views from the private patio are amazing!

The view was incredible, you can see the Yellowstone Arch from the patio with amazing views of the mountains. The place had everything you would need to make a meal and felt very cozy and clean to stay there for a week.

    After a long day of travel we arrived at Barbara's wonderful place. The location is perfect. It's close to a grocery store, multiple restaurant's (we liked Backcountry Bistro for dinner and enjoyed live music at Cowboys Lodge and Grill) and downtown Gardiner. The bed was very comfortable which allowed us to get a good nights sleep. In the morning we found a place for breakfast and headed into the north entrance of Yellowstone (which was also very close). We would absolutely stay here again.

    We stayed in the Buffalo Room for nine nights while we visited Yellowstone National Park. It was a perfect location … close to the park n overlooking the town of Gardiner. It was exceptionally clean and had everything we needed, even a cooler for our picnics in the park. We saw elk on the hill behind us and elk and mule deer as we were coming thru town heading back to the Buffalo Room. We loved sitting out on the patio relaxing and enjoying the beautiful views. This was our first visit to YNP and we were very happy we found the Buffalo Room.
