About this house rental

Welcome to our historic 2,200 sq ft homestead, the second ever built in Gardiner in 1895! Crafted with hand quarried rock and a distinctive stick frame, our home boasts a castle-like turret that sets it apart. Fully remodeled in 2015, it seamlessly combines the charm of the old West with the comforts of modern living.

As you step into our abode, you'll find yourself surrounded by the tranquility of our front yard flower garden, a favorite haunt of local wildlife. To ensure your stay is seamless, we provide valuable information via email, including packing essentials, optimal times to witness the marvel of Old Faithful, scenic drives, recent animal sightings in the Lamar area, and recommendations for guided tours. For your convenience, we offer a spacious garage at the rear of the house, a rare find during Gardiner's bustling seasons.

Inside, our two-story home features three bedrooms and two full bathrooms. The main floor hosts the master bedroom with a plush king-size bed and a luxurious custom steam shower for unwinding after your day's adventures. Upstairs, two more bedrooms await, one with a queen-size bed and a day bed with trundle, and another with two cozy twin beds. Each bedroom is equipped with new window air conditioners for added comfort during warm spells, offering serene views of either Emigrant Peak or the picturesque backyard where elk and deer often roam.

Relish moments of relaxation on our front porch swing, soaking in panoramic views of Electric Peak and Yellowstone's rolling hills, where elk, deer, bison, antelope, and occasional bears or wolves may grace your sight. Our fenced backyard beckons with mature trees, blooming flowers, a barbecue grill, and a patio perfect for al fresco dining.

The heart of our home, the kitchen, is fully equipped with gourmet essentials like olive oil, vinegar, and spices, alongside modern appliances including a dishwasher, dual-oven range, microwave, blender, mixer, slow cooker, and coffee maker. A breakfast bar and round dining table offer cozy spots for meals and gatherings.

Entertainment options abound, from a 44” smart flat screen TV with wireless WIFI so you can log into your account and watch your favorite shows, and a treasure trove of books, games, and cards. For added convenience, we provide a washer and dryer with laundry detergent.

As professional wildlife photographers and videographers with two decades of experience in Yellowstone, we're thrilled to share our passion with you. Enjoy complimentary access to our wildlife viewing guide, meticulously crafted to help you spot the park's most magnificent creatures, especially in our favorite hotspot, Lamar Valley.

The house is very quaint, easy to see that it was much cared for by its owners who appear to be nature-loving artists. The location was very convenient for our day trips into Yellowstone and we loved having a spacious kitchen to prepare our own meals and picnics as the town dining options are pretty sparse (recommend grocery shopping before you get to Gardiner). The property is for sale and it's clear that the owners are no longer there much. Sadly the picture of the garden in the listing is out of date as it has turned into a weed patch but despite that we enjoyed sitting out back for some decent bird watching in the two big trees. There is a brand new hotel just across the alley so once the leaves fall, the hotel would be your backyard view, but in the Summer that building is mostly obscured by the trees (people do walk by on the other side of the fence).Despite being right on the main drag in the center of town, the house is quiet inside (with the windows and doors shut) and peaceful. The beds are decent, the downstairs shower is very nice and while the upstairs bath is a bit funky it is perfectly usable. We were two adults each with our own room and bath, which provided plenty of room to spread out (though pricey for this configuration). It seems the house would be ideal for a couple with young adult children. And, if taxidermy isn't your thing, be prepared for a few heads in the main room.
