Comfy & Convenient to Yellowstone National Park

The unit was just as pictured and described - like new, modern and comfortable decor, and conveniently located to Yellowstone National Park and area restaurants and activities. The neighborhood was unexpectedly like an alleyway and all the buildings were crowded in together, however, this building was newer and very nice and you could enjoy some views of the mountains. The unit was conveniently stocked with everything we needed, and we truly enjoyed our stay!

Clean & comfortable, but...

If I had Google earthed where this property sits, I would not have booked it. It's not nice there. Kudos to the genius level pics that hide it!However, it was comfortable. Best sofa bed ever! It was clean. It was quiet. We had zero issues with our stay.

Stay in Gardiner

Very nice accommodations. The parking lot and entrance are located off an alley. It appears many of the surrounding buildings have some renovation going on, so the area is probably on the upswing. Very quiet. Easy access to amenities in town.

Modern Delight

Sparkling clean modern studio apartment so close to northern entrance of Yellowstone National Park. Owner reached out personally when answering question. Lovely start up extras. Gorgeous shower area. A group of Elk literally walked down our street each day. Only suggestion is a bit of space for hanging or placing clothes. Would return for sure and highly recommend.

Great Yellowstone property

This apartment was perfect for our family when we were visiting Yellowstone. It's super close to the entrance and the property manager is very helpful. We couldn't figure out the stove top and he came in to give us a tutorial. I would stay there again!

Amazing place to stay in Gardiner

This is one of the most amazing places to stay in Gardiner, Montana. The property was immaculate. It was very tastefully decorated, and was a wonderful find. The hosts are amazing, and made this the easiest VRBO stay I will be booking here again in the future.

Great stay!

Loved how close this was to the north entrance of Yellowstone! Easy check-in process. Clean. I agree with other reviews that it would have been really nice to have a couple luggage racks for suitcases though, as there wasn’t a great place to put those. It would also be nice if there was a way to turn off the blue light on the mirror in the bathroom, as it is bright at night if you like it completely dark when falling asleep. More so personal preference though. Would definitely stay here again!

Very nice stay

Very nice stay. Modern well equipped unit. Clean . Comfortable. Could use a long bench at foot of bed for luggage. A boot tray at entrance would be a good thing. Road to unit is very rough, potted. Also short one parking space. Don't stay out late or you have no space to park your vehicle.

Gardiner Visit

Stayed for 3 nights while visiting Yellowstone. Property was clean and in a convenient location within walking distance of entire town. Had issues getting the induction stove working and called property manager for help but never received a return call. Eventually figured it out on our own. Apartment could use some storage space for clothing but otherwise had everything we needed. We enjoyed our stay.

My parents and I loved our stay in Gardiner. The check in process was smooth and easy. Perfect location walking distance to downtown and a local market and a quick drive to the entrance gate.

Good, but…

New property so everything was neat and clean. Listed as one bedroom but is really just a studio apt. No closet or even a rack or shelf to put suitcase like in a hotel. Had to lay suitcases on the floor. Bathroom sink area is very small and not enough room to get ready (according to my wife). Furniture is ikea so probably won’t last long and not the most comfortable. The bed is the same. New but low quality. The cheap drapes and blinds do not block out the light. I need a dark room to sleep. The vanity mirror is fancy and has lights but they don’t turn off completely so more light to keep me awake. (Personal preference but diminished my opinion). Shower and toilet were nice. Weird to mention the toilet but it was square and new and worked. 😃 The coffee mugs are too small. Even the minimum amount of water in the machine overflows the mug. Had to have a second mug ready to go and swap them during the brew. If the room cost $$per night I would say it is great, but for $$$$ per night, it is pretty basic. Higher rating because it is very new but I won’t be staying here again. Location in Gardiner is a the main draw. Close to Yellowstone. The hotel is on a dirt road so not sure I would want to drive there in the rain.

Right outside of YS north entrance

Great location in terms of the Yellowstone entrance. Gardiner itself doesn’t have many good food options- so just prepare for that. Condo is clean, modern, cute and had all we needed. Check in was super easy. Would stay again!

Super cute unit, easy to find and just as described. Loved the dishwasher and the shower was fabulous. However, a folding luggage rack or 2 would have been nice since there was only the floor to put our things on. The stove was so fancy I needed instructions on how to use it (maybe a laminated guide would solve that) and a pair of scissors would have made it perfect. Bed is a bit hard, the mattress protector was waterproof (good) but not padded so we were damp with sweat (bad) all night. Pillows could be softer. Really NOT complaining, just wanted to offer some feedback.

Great location!

We loved this little place! It was a perfect set-up for our family of 3. We spent most days in the park skiing and looking for wildlife. The location was perfect! Easy to get in and out. It is nicely decorated and very clean.
