About this property

Yellowstone..... A Wonderland!

Yellowstone Red Barn Retreat is located on the hillside overlooking the Yellowstone River and minutes from Yellowstone National Park.
WINTER is magical in the Park
and snowcoach's depart daily from Gardiner. First stop is Mammoth Hot Springs with Fort Yellowstone's historic buildings and the iconic Mammoth Terraces and Hot Springs.
Next stop, Old Faithful.... shooting hundreds of feet into blue Big Sky.
Historic Old Faithful Inn and it's fireplace are a work of art - literally! Sit and enjoy hot cocoa, an Old Fashion before enjoying the 5 Star Dining experience.
SPRING blossoms and Yellowstone awakens! Bison, elk, deer, eagles and more give birth giving visitors memories of a lifetime. In the pasture in front of the Retreat you may see elk and their nursing calves or hear wolves teaching their pups to howl.
SUMMER at last! Sightseeing, fishing, rafting, horseback riding...so much to do. Hundreds of hiking trails wander through fields of wildflowers, streams, lakes and waterfalls..... even a petrified forest.
AUTUMN and the rut has begun. Seeing herds of elk bugling and males vying for their harem is magnificent. Fall foliage and golden aspen are the backdrop for this special time of year.
Yellowstone Red Barn Retreat is a comfy and beautiful place to relax after a day in the Park. The Great Room, dining area and wet bar overlook the landscaped yard and Cinnabar Mountain. Outside you can sit enjoy elk herds across the Yellowstone River and Yankee Jim Canyon. The peace and quiet assure you a wonderful night rest, ready for another day of Yellowstone adventures!

Lovely home with a view

We enjoyed our stay, location is about a 10 min drive from town and North entrance to Yellowstone park. If you don't want to be crowed by being in town and what a nice quiet getaway with a short drive to town and Yellowstone this house will be a good fit. The house was perfect for our family with spacious living room and dinning area that has a wonderful view.

Perfect place for our family

Very cute property. Lovely stained glass accents. This was perfect for our family of 5 adults + dog. I considered it an easy drive to the north entrance of Yellowstone. Great view across the river. Host had tons of info availabe and some interestng books, even an offer to loan bear spray. Driveway is a bit ruff, but I live on a dirt road so no biggie. Other reviewers complained about owners dogs barking at night but we never heard them. I would deffinately recommend this VRBO.

Spacious, secluded home, comfortable beds, convenient to Yellowstone

We greatly enjoyed our stay here. The main room was comfortable for our family of four. I liked the remote location where it felt like we were homesteaders on a secluded ranch, but with the convenience of only being 10 minutes from Gardiner and Yellowstone.

Lovely stay

Thanks so much for a terrific stay. The location was perfect for our Yellowstone explorations and we loved watching the elk out the front door. The host's stained glass was beautiful. We're especially grateful for the host's mention of the weekend herding of the rodeo grounds horses through town to Jardine! A real highlight!

Meet Yellowstone

The Graff's cabin was perfect for our long promised trip to introduce grandkids and their parents to Yellowstone. Cabin has everything needed for a comfortable week's VRBO stay. John and El were ideal hosts. Cabin is convenient to Gardiner, Mammoth, and all northern park points. Colors with a dusting of snow and lots of wildlife from antelope and bears to elk and mule deer but on a great show. We could not have asked for more!

Wonderful visit, excellent location

As a family of 2 adults and 4 kids we had a great visit at this property. There was plenty of space for everyone and the location of being near the North entrance of Yellowstone but still having the privacy of open country was perfect.

Dissapointed

The communication of expectations was very lacking. I asked for rules for our pets abd was never given them yet was expected to follow them. I was reprimanded for leaving dirty linens when i was not told i needed to clean them. I was also reprimanded for leaving food when it was not communicated we needed to remove it ourselves. I am also being charged for items broken that we never broke. I was also asked to personally take a soiled quilt to the laundromat. The location and house are great but the host is horrible.

Stay near Gardiner

We were pleased with our stay at the unusual house near Gardiner. Like most folks we were headed for YNP each day of our stay and we were happy to come to the house after hiking and seeing the sights. The view from the front windows was so pleasant. It is well equipped with supplies one needs - bring your own bar soap if you are used to that. The host is an extremely talented stained glass artist and we loved seeing her work. We recommend this VRBO for families.

Wonderful Experience!

This place was amazing! The artwork was exceptional and it was so easy check in to check out. Sometimes coming into the cabin the gps can get touch and go but the owners gave us a map prior to coming that made it so easy to find. The town of Gardiner, MT is just minutes down the road and the most adorable and friendly little quiet town. The North Entrance to Yellowstone is also very close and seems so much more quiet and less touristy than the other entrances. Check out Yellowstone Hotsprings just 1/2 mile down the road! Thanks so much for sharing your beautiful property with us! We have memories to last a lifetime!
