About this property

Experience Yellowstone Year-Round: Ample Space for Large Groups to Enjoy Views!

Gather your people and Hideaway in Gardiner, Montana - Home to America's First National Park! This comfy vacation home is located on a hillside above downtown Gardiner, Montana just a 1/2 mile to the North Entrance of Yellowstone National Park. Hillside Hideaway is loaded with Montana flair, gorgeous local artwork, and every amenity you could ask for (including a sauna, pool table, and fire pit) to make your Yellowstone vacation a dream come true!

Available year-round, enjoy the peace, quiet, snow and skiing in the winter; the abundant wildlife in the shoulder seasons and the hiking, fishing, rafting and scenery in the summer months. An all-wheel drive or 4-wheel drive vehicle may be needed in the winter depending on snow conditions to get to the house. Property management does plow the access, yet if arriving mid-storm if may get tricky.

This 3,900 sq foot, two-level home sleeps 12 in 5 bedrooms plus 1 queen sized pull-out couch and includes 3 full bathrooms. The main floor includes a gourmet kitchen, with tons of work space and an adjacent large dining room; a living room for gathering with family and friends; a master suite; the sauna room, and another bedroom featuring two twin beds and another full bath.

Downstairs features a large family room, complete with a game area, fireplace, and pool table. The downstairs family room is the perfect place to unwind, shoot pool, play cards, or watch a movie on the huge flat screen. A full bath, three bedrooms and a queen sleeper sofa complete the downstairs level.

There is a deck off the living room to sit and enjoy the mountain views of Electric Peak, the tallest peak in the northern portion of Yellowstone Park; later wander across the stone path to enjoy the fire pit sitting area. This yard will be the perfect place for your family or group to spread out and enjoy the beautiful Montana night sky. Listen closely for the owls residing in the area and/or the howls of local coyotes.

After a full-day exploring Yellowstone, you will appreciate the super comfortable beds and luxurious linens as well as so many spacious bedrooms for your family and friends to call their own.

Every wall of this house is home to beautiful artwork and photography that celebrate Yellowstone and the beautiful area we are lucky to call home. Most pieces are done by local artists and are available for purchase.

NOTE: Gardiner is an unincorporated town of approximately 1000 year-round residents. In recent years, as tourism into Yellowstone increases, so does development in Gardiner. Therefore, you will find newly constructed beautiful homes, next to older, smaller residences. There are also some trailer homes and RV sites located in town. However, the gorgeous mountain views are visible from each and every place in town!

Exceptional Stay

Our group was very pleased with the property and it added to the wonderful experience they had on the trip. The only feedback given was that the place was very dusty which caused some allergies to some in the group but other than that everything was great.

Best Lodge closest to Yellowstone

We had an amazing experience at our stay. The lodge had a lot of amenities way over we had expected. This is the closest one for our big family group of 12 adults and one kid. The location was amazing, the host had taken a lot of care for all our details.

Beautiful Property

Everything went well and my family and I had a great time. The property is walking distance to the town and well located to enter Yellowstone Park. My only suggestion for improvement would be to replace the cantankerous shower head in the upstairs hall bathroom!

Fun & Comfortable

We loved the property and location. We only stayed 2-3 days, but we loved coming home each night to a fun and comfortable home. The kids loved the pool table and activities downstairs. The three bathrooms were fantastic for the 10 people staying with us. The property is conveniently located to town and the north entrance of Yellowstone. We would definitely stay here again.

We had a wonderful stay and visit with family in Gardiner and Yellowstone. The property manager was great - easy to communicate with - and the house was welcoming and comfortable.
