    This property was very unique among everything else in the town. It had everything we were looking for and then some. The host was extremely responsive and accommodating.

    The cottage was cozy and very clean. The homemade brownies and notes of welcome were a great touch. Our family loved the backyard, especially the chance to pick raspberries! The cottage was perfect for our family and we enjoyed making our own meals, grilling and walking just up the block for groceries. The laundry was so nice too! Always nice to avoid the huge laundry pile when you return home. The hosts were very friendly and had great advice about the park. We loved it!

    Perfect stay in Gardiner! The cottage is cozy, well maintained, and very clean. The beds are comfortable. The neighborhood is quiet. Elk and deer are in the front yard most evenings. The Yellowstone entrance is only a couple minutes away.JoLynn is the best host ever. She's very thoughtful and responsive. When we arrived, we were greeted with a friendly welcome message, fresh brownies, and cool drinks. It was exactly what we needed after a long day of traveling, and it set the tone for a wonderful Yellowstone vacation. Thank you, JoLynn!

    The Yellow Cottage was very clean and in a great location to access the North Entrance to Yellowstone. Grocery store, restaurants, and shops all within walking distance. We saw elk, deer, and bunnies in the yard almost every morning and evening. Everything we needed was available. Jolynn quickly responded to all of our questions. We would highly recommend this house to anyone visiting Yellowstone and the Gardiner area.

    The cottage was clean and well kept inside and out. It was evident the time and effort JoLynn puts into maintaining the property. The snacks and sweet treat were a bonus to an already wonderful home. The cottage is minutes from the north entrance but on a quiet street away from the restaurants and bars. We look forward to coming back soon.

    Great location in Gardiner at the North entrance to the Park. This beautiful yellow cottage has two bedrooms and two bathrooms. The owners have attended to every detail and nothing is missing. Everything works and it is convenient for Gardiner's general store, filling station, and many bars, pubs and grills. Try the Antler Pub and Grill across the road for atmosphere and reasonable prices. We stayed three nights and recommend this little gem.

    This house had everything we needed. We could even use the garage to secure my Harley instead of securing it each day in our trailer. Its located less a mile from the north entrance to Yellowstone Park. Highly recommend renting this house.

    This cottage was very clean and very comfortable. It was well-stocked and had everything we needed. Kitchen utensils, tools and pots/pans were all in great condition. We enjoyed seeing a a few elk in the yard during our stay. Communication with the property manager was fast and responsive. We absolutely loved Yellowstone and hope to be back one day!

    We really enjoyed staying at this VRBO home. The host was friendly and helpful when we needed some help. The area had such a quick and easy access point to the park. The home was well furnished, clean, comfortable, and relaxing. Gardiner is a quaint and cute town.

    The house is extremely clean and well stocked with everything you need. The beds are comfortable and the bathrooms are very nice. The freshly baked “Welcome” brownies and elk visiting the yard every morning and every night are extra bonuses. We would definitely rent again!

    Location is outstanding! Secluded enough, but you can walk to The Corral restaurant and the grocery store. The owners are extremely attentive and even baked brownies for our arrival, a lovely touch! Place was very clean, comfortable and had a great and private back patio. Elks and baby elk arrived in the back on multiple mornings and even ate grass 7ft outside the front door! The kids were amazed. Can’t imagine finding a better place in Gardiner! Highly recommend.
