July 2, 2025 ~ “Our stay was amazing. The best rental ever!” Chad and Hollie
July 17, 2025 ~ “Unforgettable Stay at the Chalet” Stephany and the Mistry Family
Our family of four just returned from an epic four-night stay at the Yellowstone Park Riverfront Chalet in Gardiner, Montana — and we’re already dreaming of going back! This beautiful home is truly a gem. It’s the last private residence before entering Yellowstone National Park (literally 200 yards from the house), nestled right on the Yellowstone River. The location alone is worth the stay, but the house and our adventures made it even more unforgettable.
The home itself is beautifully appointed and incredibly comfortable — it had everything we needed, from a well-stocked kitchen to the convenience of a large washer and dryer. The open-concept living room and kitchen are stunning with huge landscape windows that frame an unobstructed view of Yellowstone Park. Sitting on the patio with that view is simply unmatched. Morning coffee in the crisp Montana air. No sounds but God’s creation. The spacious yard is a bonus – we loved watching deer grazing right by the house and the marmots playing in the yard constantly!
During our stay, we packed in the adventures. Rafting with Wild West Whitewater Rafting was an absolute thrill and a highlight for our family – we did the all-day trip and even the 10-year-old loved it. Inside the park, we explored Mammoth Hot Springs, Grand Prismatic Spring (our fave), and the breathtaking drive through Beartooth Pass — each view more spectacular than the last. We also discovered the uniquely relaxing Yellowstone Hot Springs, a perfect way to unwind in the evening.
Gardiner itself has everything you need. The Gardiner Market (about 10 minutes away) was a pleasant surprise – super well-stocked, friendly staff, and we kept hearing people say, “If they don’t have it, you probably don’t need it!”
Last thing I’ll say is that Bonnie is a joy to converse with – she is detail-oriented and truly operates her business as a labor of love for Yellowstone and the Park’s animals. We had the power go out during a mild storm while there (the whole area was affected) and her generator kicked right on and her manager was on site within about 15 minutes to check on us. Great care for her guests! You will not be disappointed!

Some of the landmarks you will pass by include a town called Emigrant where there is a flashing light at the only intersection with the highway—continue south, a sign that marks the Tom Miner Basin off to your right, and a sign that tells you that you are entering Yankee Jim Canyon (which is the narrow canyon that Yellowstone River runs north through and where the whitewater rafting tours run out of Gardiner). Continue south.
As you come out of Yankee Jim Canyon, you have another few miles to go to your turnoff. The road follows the Yellowstone River, which you will see on your right. After a few miles, you will come to a small green highway sign that says "Entering Corwin Springs" and a large sign saying Yellowstone Hot Springs. The next driveway to the right is your turn and takes you to the Corwin Springs Bridge. The Corwin Springs Bridge is the only way over the river until you get all the way into Gardiner.
(Please note: The new Hot Springs is now open at Corwin Springs and there is a large sign that states Yellowstone Hot Springs.)
Cross the bridge and make an immediate left turn onto the dirt road which is Old Yellowstone Trail South. Go along this road approximately 2.5 miles. You will pass a few homes, lots of meadows, and a ranch operation (Royal Teton) where the buildings are painted yellow. The next property after this ranch is the cabins. Turn left at the driveway entrance with a white sign marked “Yellowstone Cabins” with addresses beginning with 550 (there is a new brown home on your right-hand side as you enter the driveway.
