4 bedroom with ensuite bathrooms and a bedroom loft, with full bath on main level, sleeps 12.

A bit of history...In the late 1890's, my great-grandmother and grandfather ran a boarding house and saloon in the mining town of Aldridge in Cinnabar Basin. When her husband became ill, they sold the saloon and boarding house and moved the family to a ranch property along the Yellowstone River which continues to be the primary residence of the Rigler family.

Fast forward...This development on the ranch property, Rigler's River Rest, is a timber home located 10 miles north of Yellowstone Park right on the banks of Yellowstone River. Situated on one of the few remaining riverfront properties with easy, accessible fishing from the banks, the four bedroom home and loft can accommodate 12 people.

Each bedroom features an ensuite bathroom and can be either a twin or king bedroom. The full bath on the main level serves as a bathroom for the loft that can accommodate up to four adults.The kitchen is a country chef's dream. With an open and social floor plan, the kitchen opens into the living room and dining room space. Outdoor space blends with indoor space, with floor to ceiling windows. It captures one of the most pristine views the Yellowstone has to offer.

There is a TV with basic service, Wi-Fi, central air and heat, and a free standing gas fireplace. Rigler's River Rest provides unparalleled 360 degree views of the Yellowstone and surrounding mountains. This place is ideal for groups of fishermen, family and friend gatherings or leadership retreats. Four night minimum stay; three night minimum is negotiable.

    The house, particularly the kitchen, is very well equipped with all that one might need. The home was very clean and comfortable with high end furnishings. The only negative was the gas fireplace in the family room wasn't operating.

    When they say the home has everything you could need it isn’t kidding! From the fully stocked appliances and basics in the kitchen to the extra bear spray, bug spray, and sunscreen we were over prepared for our trip in to the park. Everything was clean and so cozy and the owner was incredibly easy to get ahold of if I had any questions. Usually we stay somewhere in Gardner, but this home was well worth the extra 15 minutes to get to the park entrance.

    This property was perfect for our family getaway in North Yellowstone.First off, check in was a complete breeze, all we had to do was punch in a door code that was sent to us prior to our arrival via e-mail. The property grounds are stunning and right off of the Yellowstone River. The house was immaculately cleaned and very well stocked. The kitchen is large and able to cater to large groups. The pantry had all of the kitchen equipment you could possibly need; a slow cooker, Vita-mix, stand mixer, toaster over, microwave, Instant pot, etc. There is a large grill outside as well. The bedrooms (four in total with an additional loft containing four more beds) were large and clean, each having their own bathrooms complete with showers. The beds were very comfortable.The living area is spacious and open with very large windows to show off the amazing views. The deck on the back of the house was huge with multiple seating arraignments. Sitting out there in the morning with a cup of coffee and at night for stargazing was so incredibly peaceful. I did extensive searches online to find the perfect home for our vacation with two MUST HAVES in mind: Mountain views in all four directions and to be able to hear running water outside, this location delivered on both. I absolutely recommend this property for anyone wanting to vacation in Gardiner.

    The property had everything we needed. The bedrooms with baths was wonderful. Each couple had their own space and didn’t need to share. The location was perfect for all the things we had planned. We spent several days going in and out of the Park but also kicking back and enjoying the house and it’s beautiful views. We won’t hesitate to recommend this home to others wanting to enjoy your beautiful area.

    We spent a week here to get some serious time in Yellowstone. The house is pretty close to Gardiner, the north entrance of the Park, and the location made it easy to get in and out on a daily basis.The property itself was lovely, with a great outdoor seating area. The beds and bedrooms were comfortable, and it was great to not have to share a bathroom. I would go back

    Rigler’s Rest was nothing short of amazing. The place was spacious, well stocked with everything you may possibly need during a stay, and the decor was on point! We enjoyed every moment of our stay here and the views of the river were spectacular. We enjoyed the outdoor deck areas. After doing lots of travel, I’m convinced VRBO renting is better than motels and hotels. Check in was easy and Tara was very responsive. I hope to stay here again some day.

    In fact, best house EVER. As seasoned VRBO users, we have never stayed in a house so well maintained, with so many amenities provided (even bear and insect spray.) This owner really CARES and it shows. The location is optimal, at the end of a lot so you have lots of privacy and no light pollution to see the stars at night. And it is a very short drive to Yellowstone entrance. Have a question? The owner is INSTANTLY available. If we could give this ten stars, we would.

    No words can describe this property but WOW and outstanding. We were a small group of 4 and loved everything. Best location just outside the town but still close to Yellowstone. The house was spotlessly clean and has everything to make the stay comfortable. Large house with a fully stocked large kitchen with top notch appliances and cookware. Plenty of living and dining space. Beautiful views of the river and mountains. Nice that each bedroom has its own bathroom. Washer and dryer came in handy. Everything is so well thought out and organized it’s truly unbelievable . We woke up early and enjoyed coffee on the deck and watched the elk in the yard. Also a few Canadian geese family nesting near by was fun to watch all the babies. Firepit on the deck made for a cozy evening and hanging out.We never wanted to leave. If i had a house in Montana this would be the perfect place.

    This house is incredible! It is very easy to get to, close to the park, even closer to the lovely town of Gardiner, cozy, relaxing, and great for families. There was a ton of space (10 beds in all) and great amenities for a week long trip. We cooked there most nights, enjoying the views and sunset from the comfort of the private balcony. It is very quiet and relaxing, and exactly what you would hope for in a Yellowstone vacation house. Tara was also extremely responsive and helpful, couldn't ask for a better host. Would highly recommend for anyone looking to stay with a family for their Yellowstone trip.

Our VRBO was the perfect location, beautiful throughout, with a well appointed kitchen.Plenty of space for great evening meals and on the on the go breakfast. Everything we needed was there.

    We spent four nights beginning with NYE for our time exploring Yellowstone. A convenient 12-15 min north of Gardiner and the park entrance. Make sure you drive across the bridge by the Yellowstone Hot Springs over to the Old Yellowstone Trail dirt road, where you can often find bighorn sheep. Thanks for a great stay!

It had an amazing view of the mountains and river that made morning coffees the best. Each bedroom was massive, had its own bathroom, and the bathrooms were stocked with supplies. It was a short ten minute drive to the Yellowstone park. Perfect location to feel secluded yet close to attractions. The host was kind and communicated quickly!
