About this property

Amazing Views of Yellowstone Park & River! A 1/2 mile from YNP’s North Entrance.

Enjoy The Sound of The Yellowstone River and The Sights of Yellowstone and the surrounding mountains from this beautifully remodeled vacation rental. Located just around the corner from The North Gate of Yellowstone in Gardiner, Montana, this rental was lovingly remodeled and decorated to be comfortable, welcoming and stylish.
We named this rental Water House Two because the original wooden Water Tower used to stand on this property until the 1960's and the original stone Pump House is situated just below on the river. During the remodel and revision of the original house and the property we found old receipts from Gardiner Residents water payments and buried water house gear and parts.
Located in a nice neighborhood, everything is within walking distance. The quaint mountain town of Gardiner, Montana (Population 800) is the original entrance to Yellowstone National Park and the only entrance open all year.
You can stroll to dinner, shopping and to The Headquarters of Yellowstone Forever for Ranger and Naturalist Talks. The Boiling River, popular for soaking, is just inside the park gate and Mammoth Hot Springs is located 15 minutes from the house and the new Yellowstone Hot Springs is just North of Town, about 15 minutes.
This is a 1,200sq/ft. Lower Unit with another rental above. The house was originally one and with the new remodel, it has been made into two separate units. Bedroom 1 has a queen size bed and Bedroom 2 has two twin beds. The Kitchen has a Pantry, Senseo Coffee Maker (we include the coffee for you), Toaster, Microwave, Mixing Bowls, Picnic Basket, cooking and eating utensils.The Living Room has a 55" SmartTV, large comfy couch and oversize chair. You can Log into Your Prime, Netflix, Disney+, etc.. Accounts. We already have DirecTV Service for The TV. The bathroom has double sinks and a hair dryer and towels for your convenience. Canned lighting, French Doors and new windows have been installed to make the rental bright and to bring in the surroundings. Each bedroom has a window or windows that open to the river.
Parking is on the street. Please do not park in front of Quimby Cabin next door.
Easy private river access is on property.
Children 10 years old and up only unless previously approved.
* CHECK IN IS BETWEEN 4PM AND 9PM UNLESS A LATER TIME HAS BEEN ARRANGED WITH OWNERS.
* * PLEASE REMEMBER THAT THIS IS A LOWER UNIT SO THERE MAY BE GUESTS UPSTAIRS AND YOU MAY BE ABLE TO HEAR FOOTSTEPS OR MOVEMENT ABOVE. We have done everything construction wise to damper noise.
We own Paradise Adventure Company and Yellowstone Raft Company. Please let us know if you are interested in any fun Activities during Your Stay.
We look forward to Hosting you!!

Love Yellowstone

The location and condition of the property was excellent. The dogs next dog were large exuberant friendly. Almost too friendly as I got knocked over. The ice at the bottom of the step was a problem. Fortunately the one fall we had did not result in an injury. I realize that the melting and refreezing that was going on made that an unusual problem but I did hope for some treatment with sand after I mentioned it. Again it’s a delightful location.

Beautiful river view and sounds

The sound and view of the river added a wonderful dimension to an incredible stay. Minutes away from Yellowstone’s north entrance. I was there to photograph wildlife and was in the park at 6:30am - 5 minutes from the perfect location.

Perfect Location

This place is perfect for enjoying Yellowstone National Park, the Paradise Valley and Yellowstone Hot Springs. The kitchen is well stocked, clean, modern and the furniture is all comfortable. It's easy to walk from the VRBO to restaurants, Roosevelt Arch, and even into the park on the old road. The owners were great about communicating. We hope to stay here again.

Great stay in Gardiner

The apartment is super nice, minimalist with nice designer touches. The property itself doesn’t jump out at you, parking is tricky you can hear the folks upstairs walking around but the views and the town are so worth it!! We did the Cowboy Grille for dinner, drinks at the Iron Horse and breakfast at the Yellowstone Brew - all fantastic. We would for sure do it again.

Family Montana Trip

This was our favorite Montana house during our 10 days visiting Glacier and Yellowstone. Girls (10) and (13) appreciated there are two single beds in the second bedroom and that they could walk to the Gardiner shops from the house. Host, Sara, helped us to schedule a horseback ride. Overall great experience. Highly recommend.
