Great room; annoying light
The room was super clean and comfortable, the service was friendly, and the location was perfect for us. My only complaint is that there was a motion sensor light outside that kept coming on all night. I closed the window shade, but it was very thin and didn’t block the light, and there wasn’t any other window covering available. I woke up every time the light switched on. Other than that, our overnight stay was perfect.

Recommend for stay in Gardiner
The comfort and privacy of the cabin was great! Easy, close parking. Walkable to area shops and grocery. All the kitchen amenities to prepare a fresh, homemade meal. Would definitely stay here again!! Gorgeous view of the Yellowstone River and gorge.

Wonderful
This is an excellent place to stay. The only reason I gave it four stars was due to the particular unit we were in, #15, which had very noisy upstairs tenants.

Relaxing quiet getaway
This is a really cute cottage inn with a great view and fun room set up. We were comfy and had a great stay. Best cup of coffee I've had in a while there on the deck watching the river and seeing elk and pronghorn move along the hillside across from us. Only regret was our stay was short. We will be back!

Nice small cabin type room. Has all the amenities to be self sustaining since not any places are open in the winter.
Fun time having mama and baby elk hanging out by the car. Elk throughout town was fun to see.
You can hear your neighbors through the adjoining wall which can be disturbing if trying to sleep because you are getting up before dawn to go to the park.

This property is unique with the comfortable well furnished space. It was small but had everything we needed and good quality. There seemed to be a great variety of cottages for various sized groups. The deck was a good option for outside space. The parking was well planned for each unit. We hope to return!

Wanted to give five stars but...
The cabins have been recently nicely remodeled. There is a great nicely furnished three-level deck overlooking the river. The units are super clean and the kitchenette is well supplied with the basics for preparing simple food. Nice shower and great new bath and hand towels. Now the but...the mattress is awful and needs replaced as do the bed linens and pillows. I would like to be able to say I would stay there again when we return to Yellowstone but not without a different mattress. If you do stay there, I would recommend staying in one if of the single level units with no upper level.

I don't normally do reviews, but I wanted to review this place because it was outstanding. We arrived late with all our kiddos and were very tired. We were pleasantly surprised that the place was extremely clean, had plenty of space and was very comfy! Full kitchen that was well equipped for cooking meals. The river view was absolutely beautiful and my husband and kids loved fishing in the river. We would have stayed longer but were just passing through!

This was the perfect retreat for a family to recharge after a long day in the park with all the amenities needed. Also, it’s minutes from the north entrance of the park! The view of the river below is incredible and the staff were so pleasant. If we are ever back in the area, we will stay here again.

This property was so nice, peaceful, and quite no matter what room you stayed in. The location is deal for the small town and entrance into the park. The atmosphere is lovely, the staff is as well being extremely kind and humble. They are personable and take care of your room and things if you allow them too. No complaints from my experience, I am very grateful. Thank you!

Meh…
It was just a place to stay while exploring Yellowstone. Nothing particularly special about it. But fairly clean and proximity to park is the main feature.
