The sound of the Yellowstone River lulls you to sleep while visions of trout dance at the end of your line...you wake up and it's not a dream-you are really there!!!

This wonderful and spacious cabin is right on the Yellowstone River, just minutes away from Yellowstone National Park and the Roosevelt Arch entry at the north entrance to YNP, and close to Mammoth Hot Springs, mountain biking and all the wildlife you can imagine.

The Grizzly Den Cabin on the Yellowstone Riverfront is self-contained with wilderness furnishings in the living area, crisp linens, towels, books, SMART TV (must have your own access codes for Netflix and the like). WIFI access, washer & dryer, a complete fully-stocked kitchen with refrigerator, microwave, range, regular coffeemaker, coffee and teas, spices and sauces, an outdoor gas grill and a wonderful covered patio for relaxing after a day of hiking, horseback riding or rafting on the Yellowstone River. Restaurants and local shopping are within ten minutes driving distance and Chico Hot Springs Spa & fine restaurant are a half hour away. Or just enjoy a BBQ on the patio, a marshmallow roast at the shared fire pit or a relaxing stroll down our rural (gravel) road, away from the noises of the city.

This Yellowstone cabin is a delightful place from which to navigate your Yellowstone National Park vacation, and you can even walk to the park directly from our driveway, only (approx) 1500 feet away. The Roosevelt Arch (North Entrance is 4.5 miles from the cabin). Access to the cabin is via a gravel road, maintained by Yellowstone National Park & Park County. This road can be rough at times and recommend adjusting driving speed to accommodate road condition.

Just under 48 miles to Livingston, and 1 1/2 hours from Bozeman Airport, the location is convenient yet very private, despite the other cabins on the property. Feedback, both in our guest book and online, for our cabin has been consistently wonderful, with our most recent guests saying our 'river home, not really a cabin, was over the top!'

Please join us for your Yellowstone National Park and cabin on the river vacation. Discover how comfortable and luxurious you can feel in the tranquility of the Montana experience!

We do occasionally see bears, mountain lions, wolves, bison and rattlesnakes on the property and we frequently have deer and elk, especially in the spring and fall. The property does have exterior cameras to for the protection and safety of our property and guests. Many times the elk will eat right outside the patio and bed down for the day. Please do not approach or feed any of the wildlife. You should always maintain 25 yards distance between elk, deer & bison and 100 yards from bears, wolves and mountain lions.

We do recommend if you are walking on the island, in the vicinity, on/off trails or along the river bank that you always carry bear spray which can be purchased at local gas stations, convenience stores and grocery stores.

    The road to location was very rough and it was a big inconvenience. Internet signal is horrible and needs to be upgraded or changed. The beds are not comfortable and can also use an update. The cabin is in a lot with other cabins so it's no very private and is not as listed. The location does have good views and wild life comes around periodically. Over all, I would rate cabin 2.5 out of 5. Thank you.

    This property is amazing. No details missed. Anything you need, it’s there. Very clean, very equipped. Wildlife surrounds you at every turn, would love to visit in spring when river is flowing. Water levels are down everywhere, especially in the fall. River is half of what it was. Highly recommend!

    Second time we have stayed here - location ideal for us just north of Gardiner and not far from Bozeman where we did some added activities - again had frequent elk visits in the morning and had all conveniences we needed

    Cabin was perfect. Very spacious. Much more spacious than we expected. Great river front view from the patio. Treated to an elk herd river crossing the first evening there within 50 yards of the cabin. Perfect stay and we loved the location. WiFi service was weak but who cares your at Yellowstone. The only thing I would change is that the property management needs to have a trash dumpster on site instead of have you haul it 2 miles away BUT I would not stop us from staying there again. It was a wonderful stay.

    The home was extremely well appointed and the decor was fabulous! The kitchen was stocked well and the rooms were all very comfortable. There are 2 pages of directions and instructions on exactly how to use literally everything in the house so the owners expectations of renters are very high and specific. We are good with that.There was a problem with 2 hair dryers in the home, one did not work at all and one blew cold air only. I wrote the owner who was out of the country and thanked her for any assistance to resolve this problem. We were told that there wasn't anyone locally to replace the dryer. The owner instructed me to go to town and buy one if I needed it, and she would repay. There was absolutely no concern or responsibility taken for the inconvenience. I was told that it was not her job to provide vanity tools and she didn't think it was listed on the amenities list in VRBO - which it clearly was. It's a hair dryer - not to be confused with an emergency, however, we have stayed in VRBO's around the world many times for over 25 years and this was a very unfriendly, unhelpful correspondence. This is not what we have ever encountered before. Evidently the high expectations for this business is quite one sided. We will not rent here again.

    We were pleasantly surprised by this cabin! The setting is amazing, this cabin fronts the Yellowstone River, and we spent much time on the covered porch taking in the views and visits by the neighborhood elk herd. The cabin itself has many comfortable amenities from the bedrooms, bathrooms and comfortable beds to the well-equipped kitchen. Upon arrival, we found the cabin clean, updated, and ready for our stay. The hosts kept in very good contact with us about our stay, and the VRBO website was very accurate in the cabin description and photos. This cabin was very close to Gardiner, and the northern entrance to Yellowstone. We would definitely consider staying at this cabin again.

    We had some minor check-in issues, but our host was very responsive and helped get that resolved promptly.As the listing mentions - the cabin is accessed via a gravel road. It is about a 10 minute drive from the town, so you should factor that into your plans. The location is wonderful/scenic - right next to the river. One thing worth noting is there is no soap/shampoo provided - at least when we stayed. This isn't called out explicitly in the listing, but the amenity list in the listing does not include it. Just be prepared for that. Also, no dishwasher. These did not bother us, but some might care. Just FYI.Overall, this was a very clean, comfortable cabin. We enjoyed our stay here and would definitely recommend it.

    This was such a nice place. Yellowstone was easily accessible and the cabin was a nice place to come to and relax after a long day in the park. We enjoyed watching the wildlife from the cabin. The highlight of animal watching was seeing the Elk cross the river behind the cabin. I would definitely highly recommend. We had such a good time.

    Tough to beat. Great views, river front, clean cabin, great kitchen. Easy access to gardiner, but from the quiet road on the west side of the river. Sleep with windows open to the sounds of the yellowstone river. My new go to for fly fishing basecamp in the valley.

    My husband, 2 sisters, and my great niece who was 9 years old stayed at the property. We found it to be as advertised. We saw pronghorn, elk and a beaver. The cabin is nicely decorated and very close to Yellowstone. I want to thank Tammy for providing us with such a wonderful place to stay which enhanced our experience.
