Cabin By the River was built in 1995 and rests on the banks of the Yellowstone River, 10.5 miles north of Gardiner, Montana, the only year around entrance to Yellowstone Park. We have fully recovered from the historic 2022 flood and enjoy full access to Yellowstone Park. The cabin is situated on about 5 acres in the upper Paradise Valley, south of Yankee Jim Canyon and north of Corwin Springs, Montana. We enjoy a country setting with neighbors across grassy fields.

The cabin isdecorated in country cabin decor and will sleep five. There is a queen bed in the main floor bedroom and a queen and a single bed in the sleeping loft. The front porch overlooks the river and offers a porch swing, table and chairs and a gas bbq. For rainy days, there are reading materials, games, Dish TV and DVD player with a selection of movies. The small kitchen offers a full size range and refrigerator. Dishes, utensils, coffee maker, crock pot & a brief pantry are provided.

The bathroom is a tub/shower combination. Linens, towels and paper products are provided.

Wifi service is available but caution that we are in a mountainous area and it is sometimes undependable. Your Verizon cell phone works well but is the predominant cell Service in our area.

We have a fire ring down along side the river for marsh mellow roasting or just enjoying.
In the grassy area above the cabin there is a swing set, yard games and tether ball, lots of area to run and play. Fishing in the Yellowstone River from our property can be successful and a great experience in a blue ribbon trout stream.

We are only 10 minutes to Gardiner, the north entrance to Yellowstone. Our guests enjoy coming out of the Park in the evening to the quiet setting of the Cabin By the River. We do have a 4 night minimum.

    Thank you Mr. Warren and Mrs Chris!! You have such a special place, and we are grateful that you share it with others. We would not have changed one single thing. You are wonderful hosts and we had everything in the cabin that we needed plus more. We loved everything about the experience, especially the location right on the river. We made special memories that we will treasure forever. We wish you many blessings!

    This was a great place to stay. The river right below the porch added peace and beauty. It is close to the Park. Hosts answered questions right away. Cozy and has all you need. I was worried road noise may be distracting, but cabin is set back and the river muffles it. I would definitely recommend staying here.

    Warren and Chris cabin on the river was wonderful and so relaxing we didnt want to leave! They thought of everything and we loved it! Watching and hearing the yellowstone river off of the deck was so nice every day and night...seeing the eagles fly by. If you want a quiet lovely cabin you will not be disappointed. My only regret is not using the new bbq grill they provided! From Iowa.

    This was such an amazing place to stay and the photos don’t do it justice! We had absolutely everything we needed and more, the hosts were friendly and gave great advice, and the location was close to town and the Yellowstone north entrance but far enough away to get some peace and privacy. The cabin itself was super clean and the decor was so cute. The property has direct access to the Yellowstone river and has a great fire pit right by the rivers edge. We will definitely be back again!

    This is our 2nd time to stay at Cabin By The River and we still love it here! It is the most peaceful place we have ever stayed at. The sounds of the river are so relaxing and lull you to sleep at night. Everything you need is provided, cooking supplies, appliances, utensils & bathroom supplies, towels, hair dryer & more. We fixed breakfast every morning and sat on the porch watching the river flow and birds in the trees. We saw Osprey, Kingfisher & possibly a Golden Eagle! The location is perfect for traveling to the park or into Gardiner. The owners came down to greet us and gave us a tip on where to see bears. We drove to the spot & watched via binoculars/telescope as a Black Grizzly and Blonde Grizzly momma and 2 cubs were just grazing on the caraway grass. If we visit the area again, we won't have to search for a place to stay. We already know we would pick the Cabin By the River!! This place is our all time favorite! Brian and Sherri

    Very gracious host, beautiful location and quiet. Next to the river just made our end of the day. Just outside of town which we loved as we are from the country and like the peace and quiet. We will definitely try to rent it again when and if we go back to Yellowstone

    This was a lovely spot to use as our home base for our Yellowstone visit. The kids loved the bedroom loft and we all loved the front porch overlooking the river! Our hosts were attentive and we found a great restaurant in Gardiner (Wonderland Cafe) that we ate at twice. We will stay here again if we’re ever back in the area!

    Wonderful experience! Loved being on the river and having a beautiful mountain view. The cabin was homey with little extras that made the experience even better. Watched otters play from the porch, had easy access to nearby Gardiner and Yellowstone park, and loved sitting on the peaceful porch to enjoy the river sights and sounds. Lovely cabin on the river, would highly recommend.

    This cabin is a perfect place for solitude. I traveled with my mom and my two teenage children. Cabin was filled with everything we could need. Kitchen pots and plans, plenty of blankets, beautifully decorated, and a grill on the porch. I would highly recommend this cabin and hope to stay again in the future.

    The cabin is situated, literally, right on the river, a stones throw. Very comfortable for 2, but a family of 4 or 5 would also be able to enjoy the home and the surroundings just fine. The porch is a great place to enjoy a cup of coffee in the morning or to unwind after a day adventuring in the park. The Wagners thought of everything to make a stay quite comfortable and restful. Highly recommend

    Chris and Warren provide the perfect home away from home for your Yellowstone vacation! The Cabin by the River is clean and comfortable with all the extras. Only 10 minutes to Yellowstone's North entrance, it is a perfect location for day-tripping in the park. However, the cabin could be a vacation all on its own with its beautiful views from the porch, tether ball, corn hole, volleyball, checkers, and so much more! Chris and Warren are beyond gracious hosts! They quickly answer messages and have wonderful suggestions for getting the most out of your vacation. Warren even loaned us bear spray and binoculars when he realized our Yellowstone newbie oversights. I can't say enough about this gem of a vacation spot! My family enjoyed a trip of a lifetime here!
