About this property

THE EAGLES NEST with SPECTACULAR MOUNTAIN & YELLOWSTONE RIVER VIEWS

Imagine waking up in the morning walking around the corner and glancing through the windows taking in the amazing views of the Yellowstone River, Sepulcher Mountain and Electric Peak. Many mornings you will see elk grazing just outside the living room windows. It is a site to be seen and enjoyed!!

Throughout Gardiner and the areas around Yellowstone National Park - there is nothing quite like The Eagles Nest at Yellowstone.

This wonderful and spacious cabin is located just off the Yellowstone River. Only a few hundred yards away from Yellowstone National Park, 4-miles from the Roosevelt Arch at the north entrance to YNP, and close to Mammoth Hot Springs, mountain biking and all the wildlife you can imagine.

The Eagles Nest at Yellowstone is self-contained with wilderness furnishings in the living area, crisp linens, plush towels, books, SMART TV (must have your own Netflix account), DISH TV Network, WIFI access, a complete fully-stocked kitchen with refrigerator, microwave, range, dishwasher, washer & dryer, coffeemaker, coffee and teas, gourmet spices and sauces, an outdoor grill and a wonderful covered patio for relaxing after a day of hiking, horseback riding or rafting on the Yellowstone River. Restaurants and local shopping are within a ten minutes driving distance and Chico Hot Springs Spa & fine restaurant are a half hour away.

This Yellowstone cabin is a delightful place from which to navigate your Yellowstone National Park vacation, and you can even walk to the park directly from our driveway, only 1500 (approx) feet away. Enjoy a BBQ on the patio, a marshmallow roast at the fire pit by the river or a relaxing stroll down our rural road, away from the noises of the city.

Just under 48 miles to Livingston, and 1 1/2 hours from Bozeman Airport, the location is convenient yet very private. Feedback for our cabins has been consistently wonderful.

Please join us for your Yellowstone National Park and mountain cabin with river views vacation. Discover how comfortable and luxurious you can feel in the tranquility of the Montana experience.

We do occasionally see bears, mountain lions, wolves, bison and rattlesnakes on the property and we frequently have deer and elk - especially in the spring and fall. The property does have exterior cameras to for the protection and safety of our property and guests. Many times the elk will eat right outside the patio and bed down for the day. Please do not approach or feed any of the wildlife. You should always maintain 25 yards distance between elk, deer & bison and 100 yards from bears, wolves and mountain lions.

Perfect location for visiting Yellowstone!
I highly recommend this property when staying in Yellowstone. This was a great size for my family of 7. The house had plenty of space and the full kitchen and grill allowed us to prepared some meals at the house. Having the washer and dryer was a great bonus. As we were grilling out one day we saw about 50 elk moving over th hillside- it felt like a scene from a. Movie. The location allowed for quick access to the north gate into Yellowstone and we had no wait to get in the park. The town of gardiner had everything you could need as well. If we come back come to Yellowstone, we will would definitely get this rental again.

Eagle's Nest Retreat
The rustic yet modern house was extremely clean and extremely well supplied, and the decor and furnishings were good quality, attractive, and well coordinated. The location, as described, was very scenic and lovely. We were provided with thorough information in advance to make our stay run smoothly. Not one thing disappointed us.

Beautiful and convenient area
This is an excellent location right outside of Gardiner. No wait times during the time we were there (late June-early July) to get into Yellowstone. The property was clean and well appointed. It was great to wake up to fox, coyote and elk right outside your door! My husband and son loved fly fishing on the Yellowstone River, essentially in your backyard (although not all cabins are next to the river so be careful about which one you choose). Our communication, with Tammy, was less than ideal. She did not understand the billing that VRBO had implemented (in fact, neither did VRBO although they were persistent in figuring out their own error so I given them credit!) and instead of trying to figure it out, was curt, accusatory and rude. Thankfully, VRBO customer service was amazing, figured out their error and fixed the documentation. Overall, a great place to stay as long as you don't have to deal with management.

One of the best vacation rentals ever! The cabin was very clean and in excellent condition. Beautiful location. The view out the living and dining room window was fantastic.

Great place if visiting YNP
Comfortable and clean and updated place with plenty of amenities. Just be aware of 2 things- be ready for 3 -4 miles of gravel drive to get to the place. And you have to haul your own trash out but the owners give you instructions on where to dump etc. additionally the location is beautiful but you are among other cabins and you can see the freeway. It wasn’t an issue for us, but just incase anyone is expecting it to be in a remote and secluded location.

Conveniently located close to North Entrance of Yellowstone National Park
One of several individually owned cabins located by the Yellowstone river. Our cabin was walking distance from the river. It was rustic & comfortable with beautiful views. Unfortunately, we could smell the septic tanks when walking the property (bearing in mind that the weather was hot as we visited in late July). Its close proximity to Yellowstone was a definite plus in our book! Hallway floor between the bedrooms was creaky so disturbed those still asleep. Water for showers took a while to heat up (there were 4 of us). Beds were comfortable and we had ample storage. Would have been nice to have more outlets (or surge protectors) in bedrooms.

Beautiful cabin by North Entrance to Yellowstone
The cabin is in a beautiful valley with scenic views of mountains. It was a great place to relax after a day in Yellowstone. There was a herd of elk that we drove by almost every evening when coming back to the cabin. The cabin was clean and had a nice kitchen and eating area. The porch was a great place to relax and enjoy views of the mountains as the sun set. Would go back to this cabin in future Yellowstone visits. The host was very friendly and easy to communicate with.

We absolutely loved the property! It was a few miles from town on a dirt road, but it was well worth the drive. The cabin itself was very nice and the location was quiet. There was such a beautiful view from the front windows and we saw elk in the yard every morning. We would definitely stay here again!

About the host

Hosted by The Eagles Nest at Yellowstone

Host profile image
Yellowstone National Park has always held a special place in my heart. I've been visiting the park on an annual basis since 1999 (sometimes several times a year) and each trip is unique and special in its own right.

In 2008, I brought my Dad to Yellowstone over the Thanksgiving holiday and the weather was amazing...cool & crisp but not cold and unbearable. We hiked for several hours every day and had the time of our lives. One morning we set out on an 8-mile hike. It had snowed a couple of inches the previous night and 1/2 mile into the hike we discovered we were following the tracks of a large grizzly bear. For the next 3 miles we walked in the footprints left by the great bear, armed only with bear spray, but never did see the bruin. Seeing my Dad's face light up when he realized the tracks were not very old and that we were not 'alone in the wilderness' was priceless. Because of that trip, I realized I wanted to spend as much time as possible with my Dad, enjoying moments like those while we still had the opportunity. Life is so short-make the most of it!!

Then in 2012, my entire family was able to join me in Yellowstone to celebrate my birthday. It was in that moment I decided this is where my heart is and in order to experience more lasting memories with my entire family I needed to have a place for them to call their 'home-away-from-home'.

Together, my Dad & I purchased this cabin as place to relax, watch the wildlife, fish the Yellowstone River and most importantly build more lasting memories. Being able to give my Dad the gift of owning a cabin means so much to me.

As a Vietnam Vet and someone who grew up without modern conveniences (ie: running water & indoor plumbing), owning a cabin was never on his radar. My Dad is the most kind-hearted, caring person I know and he would go the extra mile for those he cares about. Being able to give back to him was a dream come true and helping to make his dreams come true is what life is all about.

Why they chose this property

We chose this cabin because of the proximity to Yellowstone National Park and the fact that it is located beneath Electric Peak with amazing views of the Yellowstone River. We can literally fish right from the banks of the river on the property and grill the fish minutes later while enjoying the evening from the patio...all without leaving the cabin.

We named the cabin, 'The Eagles Nest at Yellowstone' for several reasons: During our first trip to Yellowstone we saw two immature bald eagles and enjoyed watching them for quite some time. You will frequently see eagles soaring up/down the river throughout the year. Every time I see an eagle soaring I say out loud 'It's going to be a great day' and it is!! Most importantly, my Dad is a Vietnam Vet and every time I see an eagle I'm reminded of the sacrifices he and so many other military families make to protect and preserve our freedom. The eagle is the epitome and national symbol of that freedom. Watching an eagle soar on the wind of the Yellowstone ecosystem is a magical experience.

Also, the Park boundary is less than 1500 feet from the driveway and the North Entrance to Yellowstone is only 4-miles away. We wanted something close to the park but not overly commercialized or populated. This cabin was close, convenient and had the space we needed.

With 2 bedrooms (4 Queen beds) and 2 full bathrooms, a full kitchen, dining area, living room and covered patio, we knew our needs were covered. Being able to share this property with others is exciting. Each trip to Yellowstone is different and offers a whole new experience. Whether you are coming for adventure, hiking, sight-seeing, fishing, wildlife viewing or photography this is the place to be!!

It was also important to me that we had a cabin where wildlife were welcome. Occasionally we will have bison, deer or elk in the yard and rarely a grizzly bear. Always be aware of your surroundings when in/near Yellowstone. This is their home too.

What makes this property unique

The unique benefits of The Eagles Nest at Yellowstone include the amazing views of Electric Peak, Sepulcher Mountain and the Devils Slide. Located right just off the Yellowstone Riverfront our guests are able to fish directly from the banks of the river on the property.

Get up early to enjoy elk & mule deer grazing just off the patio. We can't guarantee they will be there but most guests are fortunate to enjoy their presence at least once throughout their stay.

For those that enjoy walking, the Park boundary is just 1500 from the driveway and only 4 miles from the North Entrance to YNP at Gardiner.

The Eagles Nest is open and available to reserve year-round and we encourage our guests to visit the Yellowstone National Park during different times of the year as each experience offers something new and different. Winter is especially wonderful and offers a whole new experience if you have never been.

You will love staying at this Yellowstone cabin known as The Eagles Nest at Yellowstone!
