Yellowstone River Lodge 2 is a hand built log cabin adjacent to listing #89227. There are 5 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, a walkout to river and a deck overlooking river. It has a big, open kitchen with center island, (great for gatherings), gas fireplace and central air and heating. The lodge is available year round and is handicap accessible and perfect for large groups. We handle all of our bookings-no property manager. We look forward to hearing from you !

We are located on the Yellowstone River, 10 miles north of Gardiner, MT- the oldest entrance to Yellowstone Park. This is a beatuiful and convenient location for visiting Yellowstone Park and the surrounding area. There are many other activites to do and see in the area such as horseback riding, hiking, fishing, river rafting, snowmobiling, cross country skiing and hunting. All of these activites are available in the nearby upper Yellowstone Valley.

This area is a beautiful place to visit any time of year. Winters in the Gardiner are usually pretty mild. The road through the northern part of Yellowstone to Cooke City is open year round. The most scenic part of the Park offers unlimited wildlife viewing, particularly of elk, bison and the famous Yellowstone wolves. There is snowmobiling and cross country skiing in the mountains above Gardiner, Cooke City and in the Park. Downhilll skiing is also available nearby at Bridger Bowl and Big Sky.

While we do have a no refund policy, we do always try to work with our guests. We will give you a refund If we know far enough in advance and are able to rebook your dates. We will also give you a refund If Yellowstone Park is closed for any reason during your stay with us. We highly recommend that you buy trip insurance as a precaution for the possibility of a natural disaster, such as the unprecedented flooding we had this year. We are also willing to transfer your deposit for another date within the next year, if you need to cancel. The reason we have this policy is to discourage cancelations a week or 2 before their stay. Then it is hard for us to rebook. Big groups usually book far in advance to get a place and dates that can accommodate their group.

If you don't see the dates you want open on our calendar, feel free to check out the calendar of our other lodge, also located on this same property, vrbo listing 89227. It sleeps 18, has 7 bedrooms , 3 bathrooms, front and back decks, overlooks the river and 3 fireplaces.

    We have stayed at this property a few times now. Very clean and comfortable. Great location to the north gate of Yellowstone. Plenty of room for everyone

    Beautiful River-side location convenient to YNP. Accommodated all 12 of us very comfortably; plenty of beds and the five bedrooms/three baths were perfect for our family. Wish we could have stayed longer! The house was very well equipped with everything we needed in the kitchen plus the BBQ grill. We really enjoyed the back deck overlooking the river plus lots of nice lawn space for games. Overall, wonderful!

    The house could use a deep clean. The bottom cupboards were dirty. Dead bugs on the window sills. Cob webs between the logs on the walls. They need to invest in new windows with screens. The A/c wasn’t working very well but unable to open windows due to no screens

    We had the best time at this property. The house is spacious and welcoming. Free Wi-Fi. My extended family really enjoyed their stay. As I travelled the road to Gardiner and back, there is no better place to stay. The beds were all very comfortable. I cannot recommend this property enough.

    the positives - a great location only 10 miles from the Northgate of Yellowstone. -The view was spectacular. We even got professional Yellowstone Family Photography to come out and take our family pictures with that backdrop. -The owners have made some improvements, the kitchen appliances , dish and cookware are good -they have redone the floors on the bottom hallway and the whole main floor and they look great. -The rooms were good enough beds for everyone. Need for improvement- -New mattresses as current ones have lost their alignment and firmness -unreliable internet -electrical issues in the kitchen - track lights flicker off and on. -air conditioner works well but it leaks on bottom floor

    Everything about this property was amazing! It was more than sufficient for 8 adults & 5 children! The view of the river was awesome & we saw wild life on the hills every day. The kitchen was well stocked with dishes, pots, pans, etc. It was close to town & sightseeing in Yellowstone & yet far enough away to enjoy privacy. We would definitely stay here again!

    Our group of 9 really enjoyed our stay. We had plenty of room to stretch out. The river location and pavillion on the property gave us the chance to wind down after long days in the park. Dru is an excellent host and so pleasant to talk to. Gardiner is a great little town, stop by Yellowstone Perk for great coffee and vibes. We would highly recommend Dru and the Yellowstone River Retreat. ¹¹

    We loved staying at Dru and John's cabin. It was very spacious and clean. The cabin had 3 floors but 2 bedrooms, a bathroom, the kitchen, living area, and deck overlooking the river are all on the main level making it perfect for our elderly parents with limited mobility. The drive to YS North Entrance is very pretty and takes about 10 - 15 minutes. Thank you for a wonderful stay.

    Yellowstone Lodge was spacious, beautiful, and the perfect place for our family reunion/vacation. It’s very close to Yellowstone, and a reasonable drive to the Tetons. The location is beautiful on the river, and everybody had a lovely time! The lodge has everything you need, and the owner is helpful, kind, and responsive. Thanks for everything, and maybe our travels will lead us back someday.
