About this property

Private, Cozy , Mountain Home Located On A Trout Stream - 10 Miles To YNP

Mountain Retreat is a country styled home nestled among cedar, pine, and cottonwood trees. Completely secluded on over an acre and boardering National Forest, Mountain Retreat is the perfect location for hunting, fishing, cross-country skiing, whitewater rafting, hiking, or simply relaxing. Located 10 miles north of Gardiner, MT, the North Entrance to Yellowstone National Park, and about .75 miles from Hwy 89 Mountain Retreat is close to the action but far enough away to miss the crowds.

Cedar Creek, a native cutthroat spawning stream, flows along the edge of the house which provides breathtaking views out of many windows throughout the home. The sound of the creek lulls you to sleep at night for an incredibly restful and relaxing experience.

Mountain Retreat is ideally located for those who want easy access to fishing and hiking. From your doorstep a mile and a half easy hiking trail takes you up the mountain to the OTO Dude Ranch. The OTO is steeped in history and illustrates the fascination so many have with the American West at the turn of the century. The book Music, Saddles, and Flapjacks, a copy is located at Mountain Retreat for your reading pleasure---is a great read about the pioneers of the dude ranching movement at the OTO. If fishing is what you're after, Mountain Retreat is 10 mins from 4 different fishing accesses. The Yellowstone River is a blue ribbon trout stream and excellent river to hone your fly-fishing skills on and enjoy a day on the water.

We love our piece of paradise along Cedar Creek and want to share it with our guests. Mountain Retreat is a unique property and we will strive to make sure it is the best experience possible for you!

The house has 2 bedrooms, one with a queen bed and the other has a double bed. It also has a multi-use room with two single beds. There is 1 bathroom in the house. The living room has a fire-place and views of the beautiful surroundings out both picture windows. Along the back of the house is a covered porch with chairs and a BBQ grill for your use along with a picnic table all looking out at Cedar Creek.

Excellent Base Camp for a Yellowstone Trip
This cabin on a mountain is an excellent base camp for a Yellowstone Trip. It is a bit of a drive away from the actual Park, but it's worth it to get away from the crowds and relax near the running stream. Excellent property that we hope to stay at again during our next Yellowstone adventure.

Mountain getaway
We enjoyed the outside peacefulness, having our coffee in the morning and wine in the evening. Absolutely loved the creek and viewing it from the bedrooms and dining room. The stars at night were gorgeous! Loved hiking around the area too. Quick drive to Gardiner and Yellowstone. Would definitely stay again!

A Perfect Getaway in a Serene retreat
My husband and I had the most wonderful stay at this charming mountain home. From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed by the stunning surrounding landscape, so picturesque with a creek, trees, and an adorable bunny! The location was wonderfully secluded yet so close to town offering the best of both worlds.. Our hostess and her daughter were fantastic-warm and welcoming, and incredibly attentive to our needs, ensuring that we had a great experience during our vacation. We couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay. I will definitely be returning!

Cabin in the woods
Our stay was great! Cabin was clean and had the amenities we needed. The creek is a beautiful addition, It’s such a lovely sound to listen to! We liked how close the cabin is to Tellowstone but that it is private and away from all of the chaos. Would definitely stay here again.

The property owner and manager are so friendly and communicative! The creek behind the house was AMAZING. We left our windows open and slept with the sound of the creek in the background. It’s a very private location with fantastic access to the North Yellowstone entrance.

We didn’t spend much time in the house as we were in the park from sun up to sun down, but it worked great for us. The creek running right next to the house made for some great white noise at night!

Excellent stay
This cabin was located about 10 miles outside of Gardiner, Montana. It was a beautiful little cabin nestled in the tree line with several other cabins. It was adjacent to a National forest. The cabin was very clean and nicely stocked with a full kitchen. The cabin had been updated. It had plenty of beds for our large family. There was a mountain brook that ran outside the cabin that continuously left a beautiful sound in the air. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here.

Short drive to Yellowstone
Loves the house! It was perfect distance from Yellowstone but out of the way of crowds. Creek right next to the house was wonderful to fall asleep to. House has everything thing you need for a perfect vacation. Kids watched dvds after spending all day in Yellowstone and didn’t even miss their fast wifi.

Excellent little cabin
This property was exactly as listed. Great GREAT location to Yellowstone and extremely clean!! It was perfect for us on our stay and had more than enough room. The stream can easily be heard inside, and was so peaceful and relaxing. We had a minor issue and the owner came immediately to fix it and was so helpful and friendly!!! We would definitely stay here again if we're ever in Yellowstone!

Our stay
The property was secluded and about 15 minutes from town and the entrance to Yellowstone park. We went into town and found just about everything we needed for our stay. The property manager was very communicative and she responded to all questions promptly. Heading the steam running alongside of the property was wonderful.

My name is Diane Burgard. I am now retired, but was a school teacher, homemaker, and business owner. I ran Mountain Retreat as a vacation rental from 1990 - 2002 before the vacation rental movement became popular. My daughter and her family are now helping get it up and running as a vacation rental again after taking an extended hiatus from it. My daughter's boyfriend completely remodeled the house and hand crafted all the interior finish work. Our family owns the three properties before you reach Mountain Retreat along Cedar Creek Road. We are onsite and willing to help make your vacation memorable in any way we can.
