About this property

Relax on the Yellowstone River with Gorgeous Mountain Views

We welcome you and your family to our piece of mile-high paradise on the banks of the Yellowstone River.

Our home is fully equipped for your stay including plenty of kitchen utensils and appliances, basic pantry staples, dish and laundry soap, and outdoor gas grill.

Magnificent Yellowstone National Park begins on the far bank of the river, across from our home! The entrance to Yellowstone is a quick 5 minute drive to Gardiner, Montana. Enjoy spectacular views of Electric Peak (elevation 10,969 feet) from our family room, dining room, and spacious deck. Listen to the Yellowstone River, the longest dam-free river in the continental United States. Guests can relax or fish from the banks with quick stroll from the backyard down a few easy steps. Our seasonal, backyard animal visitors include elk, deer, bison, bighorn sheep, pronghorn antelope, bald eagles, and grizzly bears.

Amazing!

The most gorgeous property! This place exceeded our expectations! Nothing like enjoying a hot cup of tea in the morning listening to the rushing river and watching the birds from the deck!! The views are excellent! We felt like we didn't need to go anywhere! Lori was such a gracious host! You can tell how hard she works to make the property your home away from home! We would absolutely stay again! Oh and the reviews are not exaggerating, it was the most stocked kitchen we have ever had in a vacation rental! We always cook and it was so nice to always find the utensil/bowl/cookware we needed.

Absolutely stunning views!

We had such a good time staying at Ms. Lori’s property. She greeted us on our first day there and was so friendly and helpful. The house is well stocked. She has thought of everything down to the little details. It made cooking meals much easier. The grocery store is less than 5 minutes away. This was our 4th time coming to Yellowstone and this is by far the best place we have stayed. We had elk come by the back deck and in our front yard. We saw antelope daily across the river. I especially loved the hammock by the river. It was nice to be able to relax by the river while our son fished and the girls played at the edge of the river seeing how many “special” rocks they could find. The kids (teenagers) played many games of wiffle ball. She has several yard games and inside board games available. We also enjoyed the convenient location to the North entrance of the park. It is a trip that we will never forget and hope to visit again in the future. I truly believe Lori goes above and beyond to make her guests feel at home. Her hospitality was much appreciated!

Wonderful Stay on the Yellowstone River

This place is magical and gorgeous. The pictures do not do it justice. It has the perfect balance of cozy, country, and modern. The appliances are modern and in well working order, the kitchen is fully stocked with sharp knives, good cookware, seasonings. Lori even left a basket of snacks and Gatorade for us. The plumbing and AC work great. Lori had thought of everything to make our stay comfortable. The view of Electric Peak was astounding. The backyard grass area that leads to the Yellowstone River is vast, covered in soft grass, and a joy to lay in. The place was super clean and was clearly organized thoughtfully with the renter’s comfort in mind. I met Lori and she is a very kind and beautiful soul who gave us great recommendations. Communication and check-in were a breeze. Location is perfect - close to North Entrance, river rafting, and zip lining. This was one of the best stays that I’ve ever had at a rental. I would love to stay here again next time I return to Yellowstone.

It was magnificent

We were traveling from NC to enjoy Yellowstone with family. It was wonderful to have some items to use that we did not have to buy, for example, detergent. The kitchen was very well stocked with everything we needed. We loved watching the elk in the mornings. The hosts were so willing to help us out in many ways that went over expectations! The facility was immaculate!

Amazing place!

This property exceeded our expectations. There were four of us and we had plenty of room and space to spread out. The morning visits from the elk were quite a surprise even though the description mentioned them. They really did show up. Make sure you stop by the house before grocery shopping as there are many staple items provided. Being so close to the Northern entrance to Yellowstone made our daily drives very convenient. I would highly recommend this place!

Wonderful Family Vacation

This was a great location for a wonderful family vacation in Yellowstone! The location on Yellowstone River was fantastic! We loved watching the sunset on the deck overlooking the River every day and the kids loved playing in the big backyard. The house was well stocked with everything we could possibly need. This was a great home base for exploring Yellowstone - very close to the north side of the park and a beautiful drive to points that were on the other end of the park. We would definitely stay here again!

The property fit our needs. The view of the mountains and river were great. We fished out the back of the property nearly very day we were there. The property was fully stocked with amenities (the washer and dryer were great). My only small comment would be that an additional TV in the den upstairs would have been nice, as there was only one.

Both owner and home exceeded our wildest expectations

Have you ever thought about traveling to a different place, but just hated leaving your own home? One inevitably arrives at a new destination and then begins to bemoan how the 'vacation home' isn't as good as 'our home'. Now imagine that you went on vacation and you realized the house you are staying in IS just as wonderful as your own home and has a majestic view that simply makes you want to sit and stare. Welcome to the Upper Yellowstone River Retreat! Now imagine that your favorite neighbor from back home was the person who raised their family in the house and now opens it up to you with the same charm and friendliness that one expects from only their dearest friends. Meet Lori Roedell. We had an absolutely wonderful stay at Lori's house and quite frankly were sometimes wondering why we should wander into the park, because we felt we were already in the park. The house is laid out in such a way that it has clearly defined separate spaces and yet has a flow which is tight and efficient. Finally, the house has all the simple and elegant touches that make it a home ready to embrace a family. We give this house and it's owner our very highest rating. We already are planning our next years return...to just relax. Hugs, Jim

This is our 2nd time at this property and we will be back. Last time with our family of 9. This time with two couples. Location is only 5 miles from North entrance of YNP. House is cute, very clean and comfortable. View of the River and mountains with visiting elk is great. Kitchen and amenities are more than ample. Lori is a great host and we appreciate her sharing her little slice of heaven with us. We will be back!

About the host

Hosted by Aubree Roth

Hello! I was born and raised in Montana and grew up in Gardiner. I am fortunate to be able to continue living under this beautiful big sky! I enjoying playing in the outdoors as much as possible--rock climbing, biking, hiking, skiing, or just simply taking in beautiful vistas and fresh air. I enjoy cooking and trying new foods. I hope one day I will master the perfect pie crust. As a host, I am happy to help my guests locate fun activities during their stay such as horseback riding, rafting, or exploring Yellowstone by foot. There are so many experiences to be had in the Greater Yellowstone Area!

Why they chose this property

This is the home in which I was raised. It is a wonderful house with spectacular views and immediate river access. This is a family operation and my mother lives on the property and is available to answer any questions (unless she's off kayaking, hiking, or skiing).
