The Mountain King Cabin is an amazing place to call home during your visit to Yellowstone Park. Located in the heart of Gardiner, on the banks of the Yellowstone River, it is just a mile from the north entrance to Yellowstone Park. The house faces south looking into the park highlighting stunning views of 11,000 foot Electric Peak. You can literally look out the windows, or off the deck and see: elk, antelope, deer, and occasionally bears and wolves roaming the hillsides of Yellowstone.

This rustic Montana log cabin is an inviting, airy open space for groups size 6-8 people with a fun loft for the kids! Stay in this beautiful cabin, AND spend a couple days rafting, horseback riding, and viewing wild life inside Yellowstone. With two nearby hot springs to soak in, hiking, and fishing, the outdoor fun is endless. It's easy and all in one place! Located in the heart of Gardiner, take an evening stroll around town shopping or over to grab a bite to eat. Large groups can book our neighboring Yellowstone cabins the Eagles Nest and Grizzly Den.....perfect for multi-family vacations!
We are located about an hour from the Bozeman Airport.

    Great view of the river from the deck. Cute decor. We came with another couple and left the kids at home but they would have loved the loft if they had come. Kitchen wasn’t very well equipped. It would have been nice to have some Kleenex provided.

    The view is amazing! Saw 3 double rainbows during our one week stay. Cozy and we were able to cook meals at the cabin to save a little expense that way. Never saw owners but was a pro and con as we ran out of toilet paper but could have asked for some but only had one Eve and morning left. Cute little town with small town charm! Very pleased with our stay!

    The location of the property is great and the cabin is super nice. We saw elk and two bears from the back porch overlooking the river. The only drawback I would say is if the rafting company beside you is working it's a bunch of kids and they are super loud. Fortunately they were only there one day.Kitchen window and front door needs blinds. We would definitely stay there again.

    Kids loved sleeping upstairs and great porch. Parking was not a problem and laundry had 3 large washers and 3 large dryers available. (They were my top concerns and turned out fantastic.) Kids were everywhere playing hide and seek and it was very clean.

    This cabin was perfect for my family of 7. The views from the deck were stunning and was a great way to start the day with coffee or end the day with the sunset. The kitchen was pretty well stocked and we put the grill to good use. If we come back in the area I’d stay here again.

    Everything was perfect. Thoughtful touches like bear spray to utilize during our stay, black washcloths for makeup removal, extra blankets, and a fully equipped kitchen and prep table. Beautiful bathroom and the view from the porch was unbeatable. Laundry onsite was super helpful for a family of five with littles.

    This was the perfect place for the last three nights of our trip. Had room to spread out, the views were amazing, walking to restaurants was so nice. We had a designated parking spot and never had an issue. I’ll be recommending this place to all friends visiting the park. Never a line to get through the gate!

    We recently stayed for three nights at this property while visiting Yellowstone. The location in Gardiner was so quaint and peaceful and we loved being in a property that overlooked the river. The cabin was well appointed and the extra touches of having toddler utensils, access to a booster seat and a safety gate was so thoughtful. We also enjoyed the comfortable beds and having coolers to use during our visits to the park. Check in and check out were very easy. Parking was very tight but you can’t beat waking up to the sounds of the river. The only drawback is the early morning rafting trips that launch next to the property. The line to lower the rafts is directly next to the two bedrooms and if you are hoping to sleep past eight then you are out of luck. Luckily we were up early so this was not an issue. Great cabin for a trip to the area and lots of coffee shops and local restaurants to dine at or grab food as you head into the parks.

    Very nice cabin with a great view. Parking is a challenge as it is in an alley behind a row of businesses facing Main Street. Multiple lights at the peak of the ceiling did not work reading at night was difficult. Great location for a fair price so we had plenty of time each day in the park, and cooked our own South Louisiana breakfast and dinner each day!

    The overall effect of this little cabin is so much greater than the sum of its parts. Once you figure out the awkward parking situation, the detached laundry room, and finicky heating & cooling, the rest of your time will be some of the best you've ever had. Mountain King has one of the best balconies in the entire world, I'm willing to wager, and walking straight into Yellowstone Park was one of the coolest wildlife experiences I've had. I actually feel silly reviewing it so well - because it'll probably be booked next time I want to visit!

    Was a great place to tour Yellowstone. Conveniently located and so close with great views. The Town lacks restaurants but that’s on Gardiner house was good, though parking can be strained.

    We enjoyed the cabin and listening to the Yellowstone River! There is a significant problem with parking. The parking site is at the end of a dead end alley and we were trapped in for 2 days; thankfully we had access to our friend's car. Bring oil/nonstick spray but otherwise, there are plenty of dishes, glasses, pots and pans but minimal kitchen sundries. 6 blocks from the north entrance to the park was amazing and we did see elk from the deck in the park! Not likely to stay at the same cabin, but we would stay in one closer to the alley entrance.

    No complaints, plenty of fans, clean, cozy, would recommend an updated couch but you don’t use it much anyways, didn’t even need to reach out to the owner because they informed us in details before we arrived. Highly recommended!

    It was an accurate description of the house. Amazing view and you’re right on the river. The view never gets old. Some elk came right up to our house, which was cool! The house itself was nice, cabin style, plenty of beds. A 2nd bathroom would have been nice but we knew that going into it. We noticed in the laundry room there were keys to all houses with each house listed. Probably for the cleaning staff but seemed a little unsafe. Overall very happy with our stay. Might be a little pricey ($1400 for 3 nights after taxes/fees).

    Cute cabin right above creek, found as described! Pros- -kids loved loft bedroom w four twins, - fun watching the flying pig set up their rafts (yes you can hear them but we’re up by 8:30 anyway) -deck overlooked creek, fun seeing wide life too Cons -walls within cabin are paper thin. For example if i was in master bedroom whole cabin can hear normal conversation. Every time my kids rolled over in beds upstairs I awakened bc I could hear it. My son literally put his finger from the loft floor edge into my bedroom to wave goodnight. -beds all were super squeaky and rolled on wood floors constantly. -tv in family room virtually unusable at 7feet up. -laundry is not in cabin. Separate bldg is easy but the hours are 4-9pm!! This was unknown and after a week in GTNP this threw a wrench in our plans. So Plan accordingly -Basically everything is very cute! But many things felt like they may fall apart, very much a rental and not someone’s home. We enjoyed our 5 nights! But likely would try something different if/when we return! Cons-

    The Mountain King was such a cute and cozy place to stay, with that incredible balcony overlooking the beautiful Yellowstone River! The only issue, and I’d read on some reviews about it, is that we were never able to park in that one offered spot! There was a permanent car parked several feet into that very narrow space!😁
