RIVERSIDE LODGE: wildlife watching, fishing, hiking from the house. Next to YNP!

The kitchen is well stocked, appliances are all in good working condition. But the location can't be beat. The house has big windows with beautiful views of the river and the mountains around it. It was comfortable for my family. We were close to Yellowstone NP and spent our days in the park. But when it rained we were quite comfortable to spend the rainy evenings in the home. My kids enjoyed exploring the river banks while I cooked dinner. And there's a dinner bell on the corner of the balcony that we used each evening we were there to call kids back in for dinner. Our first morning there the yard was full of elk. And our last day geese landed near the home on the river and spent the day there. They were fun to keep track of. We got groceries in Livingston before we went to Gardiner, but there is also a small grocery store in Gardiner. We also spent an evening at the hot springs just down the road. It was so relaxing after a busy day hiking in the park and seeing wildlife. We will definitely be back!

We loved staying at this property. The location is close to Yellowstone park and there were lots of animals in the nearby fields. There was lots of space in the home and a great deck! The hosts were very helpful and easy to contact.

A perfect home away from home to spend a day exploring Yellowstone Park. So close to Yellowstone Hot Springs and Gardiner. We loved the views from the deck to the river and out the front toward Devil’s Slide.

Everything was great! We saw elk everywhere. The whole group enjoyed the stay,

All really good throughout. Especially liked the elk next door! It was great for our grandkids too.

This is a beautiful home and the location right on the Yellowstone River is amazing ! We loved watching the elk around the yard and crossing the river! We enjoyed the fenced back yard for our dog ! The road leading up to it was in bad condition but they are in the process now of making improvements to that! Other than that everything was perfect !

We were so comfortable at the Riverside Lodge, it felt like our own home! Spacious, great kitchen, comfortable beds & furniture, and very clean. Gorgeous eastern views of the river and western views of the mountains and fields - felt like the real MT experience! Fun to be able to fly fish steps from the house, and for the non-anglers (mom) to be able to watch from the deck or mosey down to take photos. The teens enjoyed the mini-pool table. We visited the park every day, grabbing groceries as needed as we passed through Gardiner. So convenient! Thank you for opening your home to us, we loved our time there!

Wonderful property, amenities, and views were priceless! We had an amazing family vacation thanks to Yellowstone Riverside Lodge. Highly recommend.

This location was absolutely perfect in terms of Yellowstone NP, Grand Teton NP and Bozeman airport. Also, the home was so peaceful as it sits right next to the Yellowstone River. We enjoyed relaxing at the house as much as visiting the national parks. We enjoyed the house more than we expected and our expectations were already high in the first place. We highly recommend staying here!

We loved this home. It was everything we could have asked for. Beautiful views, right on the Yellowstone river, wildlife everywhere, minutes to the park entrance and plenty of room inside for 2 families. Our boys fly fished every morning and evening in the river and caught a number of trout. We grilled on the deck overlooking the river many nights. There were elk in the yard every evening. We would recommend it to everyone.

The riverhouse was perfect for our family of 6 as we explored Yellowstone. An elk herd of about 200 hung out around the house and in the river the whole time we were there. It was truly magical!

This is the place to stay if you like breathtaking views, choices to gather or be alone, comfort & amenities galore. Our family of varying ages (5-64) were all content whenever we were back on site after adventure-filled days.

Great place to stay!

Beautiful home right on the river. After long days in the park, coming home to the awaiting deck overlooking the river was awesome. Great relaxation time for the adults while the kids were loving the pool table and hanging out down by the river. House was an Ellen’s and as described. Check in was a breeze and the whole week couldn’t have gone any smoother. Would definitely recommend to everyone, regardless of age or family size. This house can accommodate.

Great clean property with everything you could need available to you. The only thing at all I would add would be TVs in the bedrooms. I believe only the main bedroom upstairs had one. Not a big deal to me at all, but may be to some people. (Ie my husband who likes to watch the news in bed )

Fantastic stay! The accommodations were clean and comfortable with amazing views of the mountains and river. Quick trek to Yellowstone made it an ideal base for our vacation.

This house was perfect for my family of six. It had absolutely everything we needed from extra towels and blankets to plenty of spices in the cupboard. We had ample room to spread out while the gathering spaces also offered seating for playing games and relaxing together (and there are LOTS of games in the laundry room). The location of the house let us enjoy the tranquility of listening to the Yellowstone River and not a lot of traffic or human noise. It also gave us super easy access into the northern entrance of the park, making it easy for us to come and go for hikes, sight seeing and programs in the park. For those who love stargazing, this was an especially nice location because we could literally walk to where there was no light pollution and enjoy the night sky. (Do bring bear spray on those walks just to be safe - they have that at the house, too.). One note for families with young children: they have all that you will need to keep little ones safe and entertained, including a pack and play. It was one of the best houses we have ever rented for a vacation!

We loved this property. The pictures online were helpful, but the place was even better when we arrived. The property was fully stocked with everything we could need, even some cooking supplies in the pantry. They had all the comforts and then some (games, toys, cards, pool/air hockey table) and the views of the river and surrounding area were gorgeous. We saw tons of wild animals right outside the front door and even got stuck behind a bison crossing twice driving in to YNP and Gardiner. We were super close to the Yellowstone hot springs and YNP. We would definitely stay here again.

This place is great! So well stocked for cooking, games, fenced in yard for playing, river trail out front. It’s great. We will rent again. Property managers are super responsive

This house was amazing! The house was clean, and great communication. We really appreciated the specific driving directions. What put this house over to the “amazing” category was the views of wildlife right from the house! Can’t wait to plan another trip and come back!

We throughly enjoyed our stay! The house, wildlife, and scenery is absolutely beautiful! We had 6 adults with plenty of room for making meals and not being on top of each other. We had everything we needed from spices, pots and pans, to plenty of towels. It was awesome to sit on the porch and see eagles, elk and the river. I have already recommended this place to 2 friends. Kelly was wonderful and very informative about what to do and see in the area as well as in Yellowstone National Park. A great time was had by all in our party!!

Very peaceful and relaxing! Something for the whole family. Host went out of her way to help make it special.

This Montana retreat is a true gem! Thanks for opening your home to travelers like ourselves to enjoy the majestic mountains, roaming wildlife, and starry skies! Highly recommend this paradise of the West.

Our stay in Riverside Lodge was fantastic. The location in Gardiner on the Yellowstone River was so beautiful. We saw herds of elk and antelope in the fields surrounding the house. The house is close to the North Entrance of Yellowstone National Park and restaurants in Gardiner. As soon as we entered the house it felt like home. Everything we needed was provided. We would highly recommend this home for a peaceful and beautiful vacation spot.
