Exceptional loft

The Gibbons Meadow loft had absolutely everything you could ever possibly need. And I mean everything. For example, Panini press, popcorn popper, rice cooker, strawberry slicer, (I kid you not) A coffee pot and a Keurig machine, coffee, flavored syrups, and mini marshmallows. They also had Q-tips, games, toothbrushes, lint rollers and…. Heated toilet seats! It was cute as it could be and having two king-sized beds worked perfectly for us. Communication from the owner was exceptional. We highly recommend the loft and we will certainly be staying there next time we are in West Yellowstone.

Perfect Stay in West Yellowstone

I recently stayed at this property in West Yellowstone for a week's adventure in Yellowstone National Park. The Loft is so comfortable and beautifully outfitted. Was the perfect place to return to after a day in the Park which was only a mile away. West Yellowstone is small but has everything you need from a grocery store to many restaurants and an Information center where you can talk to a ranger and get ideas for the day's activities. Would definitely return and have already been telling my friends about it.

Exceptional!!!

We loved staying at Gibbon Meadows Loft and there is nothing negative to say. It was perfect in every way. The location can’t be beat for ease of going to Yellowstone National Park and yet it is convenient to restaurants in West Yellowstone. The cleanliness, organization and furnishings are exceptional. The decor is beautiful. The kitchen is well stocked with everything needed and more. I was cooking something that I normally would use a pastry brush for prep so I thought, “probably not one here” but I opened the drawer to see and there it was! Even basic food items that one is hesitant to buy for a vacation because only a tablespoon of oil or a teaspoon of cinnamon, etc. is needed, but the Loft has those things. Other things we appreciated were the comfortable beds and pillows, warm floors, heated bidet, handheld shower sprayer, plush towels, and every bathroom item needed. Something that indicates exceptional management is that there is an adequate supply of paper and soap products rather than the “starter supply” that many rentals have. We brought everything we needed for coffee but had we forgotten anything we would have found it there in the warm beverage area which was stocked with everything imaginable. This place feels like a home, not a vacation rental. We would definitely return for another stay if we are in this area in the future.

This was the BEST BnB we've EVER stayed at

This property is GORGEOUS; it has everything you could possibly need (including flavored syrups for coffee in the morning and all the cooking utensils you could possibly want). Furniture and beds were extremely comfortable, immaculately clean and organized, walking distance from bars and restaurants and so comfortable. Theresa was an AMAZING host, extremely responsive and wonderful to work with. We will be re-booking this any time we come to West Yellowstone.

Had the most amazing stay at Gibbon Meadows Loft

The place was just perfect for us. Pictures online don’t do it justice. This place is the best we could find in West Yellowstone and it was amongst the best we have ever been at near a national park. The owner was also incredibly responsive and kind. We will absolutely come back.

Gibbon Meadows Loft

Our first visit to Yellowstone and we made the best decision to stay in the Gibbon Meadows Loft! Very convenient to the West entrance and town. But more importantly, the Loft has ALL the conveniences of home! You never want or need anything that they haven't already provided. Extremely clean, organized and beautifully decorated. It was perfect to come "home" to after long days of sight-seeing. Theresa was very accommodating and quick to respond to any questions both prior to and during our stay. HIGHLY recommend the Loft for your next Yellowstone visit!

Modern comfort, minutes from Yellowstone

Our family with two young kids recently stayed at Theresa's Gibbon Meadows Loft while we explored Yellowstone. The loft was 15min from the park's western entrance. We felt comfort as if we were at home; the whole space was newly built, well furnished and decorated, and spotless. The kitchen was extremely well stocked -- cookware, dinnerware, flatware, drinkware, so many different appliances, even hot chocolate packs, keurig pods, ice packs and a cooler were provided. Before we arrived, Theresa thoughtfully reached out and asked for my children's ages so that she could supply some books and games and coloring supplies. She even advised us to bring insect repellant a few days before our arrival when she heard about mosquitoes from other guests, which we would not have brought if it weren't for her thoughtfulness. During our stay, Theresa also made sure to check that we found everything we needed. She even provided a folding umbrella stroller, which we did not end up needing but was so thoughtful of her nonetheless. We were moved while reading about the story behind the loft and the fire that preceded its construction. We recommend Theresa's place to other travelers. We would certainly return for our next visit to western Yellowstone.

Hands down the best place to stay in Yellowstone!

We had an amazing stay at the Gibbon Meadows Loft, which had every amenity imaginable! From booking, the communication was thorough & excellent. The warm entrance and beautiful Yellowstone mural made us feel at home instantly. The hosts thought of every detail for a comfortable family stay. The living room's comfy sofa and chairs were perfect for lounging after sightseeing, and the kitchen was fully stocked, including a coffee machine with assorted beverages. The bedrooms had king-size beds & large closets with extra linens. The bathrooms were exceptional, with bidets/heated seats, top-notch showers and were fully stocked. The home had extra amenities like board games, office supplies, & travel toiletries. Plenty of extra linens, towels, & cleaning supplies were provided. Roll-down room darkening shutters ensured a good night's sleep. The house was secure with two entrances and an alarm system. Private parking was right in front. The Yellowstone pictures and stories throughout the house were delightful.The hosts even left us postcards, a souvenir ornament, and Huckleberry coffee. We highly recommend this place for its comfort, amenities, attention to detail, and great location near West Yellowstone town and the park entrance.We missed it after checking out and wouldn’t stay anywhere else if we visit again. It's perfect for a modern, clean, and homey feel in West Yellowstone. Wish we could give it 100 stars! Gibbon Meadows is so unique & the hosts truly made us feel welcomed!

impeccable west yelllowstone loft

We had a lovely stay in what is definitely the nicest vrbo that we have ever booked. The place is impeccable. It is brand new and very thoughtfully appointed with nice furnishings and appliances, bidets on each toilet, multiple sized take away boxes and ziplock baggies so you can more easily pack meals to get into the park, books about the park, etc! The owners were really very thoughtful when stocking this place and the extra hospitality really shows. It's also well situated on a quiet side of town, but close enough that you could still walk to the many local restaurants. Our family had a wonderful stay!

A Cozy Oasis on Yellowstone's Doorstep

My family recently had the pleasure of staying at this charming loft in West Yellowstone, and it exceeded all of our expectations. The interior design is nothing short of magical. We loved the artwork and all of the coordinating decor! The attention to detail is evident, and it’s clear that the hosts have poured their hearts into creating a space that feels both elegant, inviting, and relaxing. The beds were very comfortable; after exploring the park all day, we slept like contented bears 😜. The kitchen is stocked to the hilt with every cooking utensil and appliance you could think of, and we enjoyed several meals there. If you want to eat out, we've been to West Yellowstone a couple of times and highly recommend Firehole Bar-B-Que Co. or Old Town Cafe, they were great for our family! The bathrooms provide all of the shampoo/conditioner/body wash in dispensers so you won't need to bring any of that, and there are heated toilet seats and bidets! (I said they thought of everything, right? 😆). There are also laundry supplies for the washer and dryer, which was helpful for our family, as well. If you’re looking for a relaxing and serene escape in West Yellowstone, look no further than Gibbon Meadows Loft! My family can’t wait to return!

About the host

Hosted by Theresa Allred

Host profile image
We celebrated our 41st wedding anniversary in the summer of 2024 and have enjoyed the beauty of nature since before we married. When our children were young, our first real family vacation (that wasn’t driving to and from school to visit our parents) was to Yellowstone National Park. We filled every possible moment with ranger tours, walks to tourist favorites, and drives from one end of the park to the other. We didn’t want to miss anything because we didn’t know if we would have an opportunity to return. We loved Yellowstone so much that we returned regularly. We loved knowing we could return over and over again; we could see the same THINGS, but they are constantly changing. We have never tired of Yellowstone National Park, and there is still SO much we have never seen. We have dreamed of having a home near the park where we could gather as a family at the end of the day and continue making memories. Gibbon Meadows IS that dream. We hope your family will also make wonderful memories here and you will want to return year after year.

Why they chose this property

Gibbon Meadows is our family home away from home. We are a small family business. We hope you love our home as much as we do.
