Your Yellowstone Basecamp for Wildlife, Adventure, and Wide-Open Montana Beauty

If your perfect Montana getaway means waking up surrounded by mountains, watching wildlife wander through the landscape, and spending your days exploring creeks, trails and Yellowstone's wilderness, this cabin is for you. This is a peaceful, nature-immersed retreat where you can step outside and instantly feel connected to the land. Guests regularly spot deer, fox, birds, and other wildlife right from theproperty. The quiet, scenic surroundings make it easy to slow down and take it all in.

Whether you're here to hike, fish, photograph wildlife, explore Yellowstone, or simply breathe in the fresh mountain air, this cabin offers the perfect base camp. Come back after a day of adventure to a warm, cozy space where you can relax, refuel, and enjoy the calm of Montana evenings. It's a comfortable, private place to unwind, recharge, and truly experience the beauty of the outdoors.

This 1,040 square ft log cabin, built in 2019, is located in the old mining town of Jardine, just 5.5 miles up a county maintained dirt road from Gardiner, Montana - and worth all fifteen minutes of the drive to get here. Cabin 2, along with our other three cabins, sits on just over 12 acres of private property that borders national forest land. You'll be hard pressed to find a more comfortable, cozy space than this one.

The old Jardine mine site is part of the beautiful and unique mountain views you'll see while you sip your morning coffee or tea from the back patio, as well as being able to see and hear Bear Creek! Soak in the spring flowers and Montana sunsets over the ridge out front. If you prefer your walks without the crowds of Yellowstone, there are also great hiking trails just a short walk from the front door. We'll leave you a can of bear spray to borrow while you're out exploring the area.

It was so close to Yellowstone we went to the park a few times. Just sitting on the porch was awesome. Big plus was the washer and dryer. Rent the cabin!!

    This cabin is beautiful and the most well stocked VRBO we have ever stayed in. I very much appreciated they offered shampoo and conditioner as I forgot it. They had any dishes & utensils you would ever need to cook as well as spices and even coffee because I forgot to get that at the store as well our first day. The Beds were so comfortable and I also had to look up the pillows to buy some for home. Listening to the Bear Creek River from the front and back porch every day was amazing. Well worth the trip up the mountain for the serenity and beautiful sunsets. We enjoyed a wonderful horseback ride adventure that was also up the mountain by the cabin at Hells A-roaring outfitters and a beautiful hike at the trail just down the block along the river. We used flying pig for our rafting trip & they were accommodating and funny and it was beautiful! We spent eight days here and we’re sad to leave but I am highly recommending it all of my friends!

    After a long day of traveling, driving the last 10-15 minutes up the gravel and bumpy (really, it's not that bad) road makes you start to wonder if it's worth it staying just outside of town. It is! The cabin was lovely. So clean. Well decorated. Had all the amenities we needed - including a very powerful hair dryer, in case you were wondering whether to pack your own. Bed was totally comfortable.The owners were kind and very responsive. To us, it was less stressful to stay in one place for a trip to Yellowstone, but you probably could fit more in if you bounce around to be closer to different park entrances. Having said that, we did everything we wanted to do, and staying at Bear Creek, we saw quite a bit of wildlife driving to and from the cabin every day. A happy little fox greeted us on our way up, elk at different times, and a cranky badger scurrying along the road gave us a dirty look as if we were inconveniencing him. If you're okay with an extra few minutes of driving to be away from town, stay here! P.S. If you want to do a trail ride on horseback, Hells-a-Roaring Ranch is right up the road from the cabins. Many of the third party adventure companies in Gardiner contract with them to provide riding services.

    Wonderful stay at a beautiful cabin. Clean, organized, decorated in mountain style. I only wish we stayed longer. We grilled steaks, made breakfast...everything was right there in regards to utensils and cookware. Seating for a family of 5 in the living room can be a bit tight, but we managed just fine. Thank you!

    The cabin was s log home that was tastefully decorated. Had all the amenities. Located away from the town and situated next to a river. Nice and quiet. The town was about 12 minutes away and had many restaurants and grills, access to rafting and horseback riding. Was only about 15 minutes from Yellowstones North entrance.We liked everything about this property and host.

    This is one great VRBO. It is up a gravel road but that is one of the things that makes this great! You are certainly away from the crowds located on a beautiful stream. The house is equipped as well as any VRBO. The hosts also were the best with great communications and check with us once we checked in and when we were about to check out to see how we liked it this is definitely a 10 .

    Cabin was clean and located close to the north entrance of Yellowstone. Cabin is in a grouping of three cabins and close to a river. The drive up as others have said is a gravel road that is quite bumpy but not horrible. We were impressed that the property owner texted us and told us that a couple breakers may trip with an on coming storm. Definitely would recomend this property.

    The drive up the dirt road is worth the stay at this fabulous property. Directly behind the property through a small wooded path is a beautiful stream. The beds were extremely comfortable and the apartment was well stocked with kitchen appliances.

    As a NY resident, the desire was to have a full Montana experience after hiking and sightseeing in Yellowstone, and this cabin provided just that and more. Impeccably clean, with nothing o want for, our family of four immediately fell in love with the authenticity and location of this cabin experience. The host was extremely communicative and wonderful to work with and the home is simply beautiful. Spacious for our family of four and one of my most favorite properties I have ever stayed in. Thanks, Julie!

    The cabin was fantastic. Well equipped and comfortable, set right along side a little river. The views were spectacular. The drive from Gardiner to the cabin was longer than originally anticipated but was quite beautiful with a ton of wildlife, mostly Elk, to be seen along the way. I would definitely stay here again given the opportunity!
