Cabin By The River~ 10 minutes from the north entrance to Yellowstone Park



Cabin By the River was built in 1995 and rests on the banks of the Yellowstone River, 10.5 miles north of Gardiner, Montana, the only year around entrance to Yellowstone Park. We have fully recovered from the historic 2022 flood and enjoy full access to Yellowstone Park. The cabin is situated on about 5 acres in the upper Paradise Valley, south of Yankee Jim Canyon and north of Corwin Springs, Montana. We enjoy a country setting with neighbors across grassy fields.

The cabin is decorated in country cabin decor and will sleep five. There is a queen bed in the main floor bedroom and a queen and a single bed in the sleeping loft. The front porch overlooks the river and offers a porch swing, table and chairs and a gas bbq. For rainy days, there are reading materials, games, Dish TV and DVD player with a selection of movies. The small kitchen offers a full size range and refrigerator. Dishes, utensils, coffee maker, crock pot & a brief pantry are provided.

The bathroom is a tub/shower combination. Linens, towels and paper products are provided.

Wifi service is available but caution that we are in a mountainous area and it is sometimes undependable. Your Verizon cell phone works well but is the predominant cell Service in our area.

We have a fire ring down along side the river for marsh mellow roasting or just enjoying.
In the grassy area above the cabin there is a swing set, yard games and tether ball, lots of area to run and play. Fishing in the Yellowstone River from our property can be successful and a great experience in a blue ribbon trout stream.

We are only 10 minutes to Gardiner, the north entrance to Yellowstone. Our guests enjoy coming out of the Park in the evening to the quiet setting of the Cabin By the River. We do have a 4 night minimum.

  • We visited this location but ideally needed to be there in the afternoon as the sun was on the "wrong" side of the arch. I used a wide lens to capture the arch and didn't attempt to correct the distortion as I felt it added to the picture (for me anyway). It took a long time to get this without hoardes of people in the shot.

This was a great place to stay. The river right below the porch added peace and beauty. It is close to the Park. Hosts answered questions right away. Cozy and has all you need. I was worried road noise may be distracting, but cabin is set back and the river muffles it. I would definitely recommend staying here.

The cabin is in a perfect location, just a short drive into town and an entrance into the park. My favorite part was the deck overlook the Yellowstone river! The owner was very nice and welcoming. Sad our stay is over.

Yellowstone Experience

Cabin was as described, by the River and close to Yellowstone. Hosts were great. They attended to all of our needs and offered great suggestions. Very peaceful location and it provided everything we wanted for our trip. Would definitely stay here again! You can’t go wrong with this “Cabin by the River“.

Magical river

Sleeping and waking to the sounds of the Yellowstone river was magical. The drive to YNP each morning was short and beautiful. Cabin is small and quaint just perfect for a family of 5, and if you want to spend day (or 2) at cabin plenty to occupy kids.

The Cabin at the River exceeded our expectations. It was clean and had everything we needed to make our stay just like home. The owners were kind and responsive. It was a 10 min drive to Yellowstone Park. We fished, played yard games, and hung out on the porch in the evenings. The view was beautiful! Highly recommend!

The cabin is situated, literally, right on the river, a stones throw. Very comfortable for 2, but a family of 4 or 5 would also be able to enjoy the home and the surroundings just fine. The porch is a great place to enjoy a cup of coffee in the morning or to unwind after a day adventuring in the park. The Wagners thought of everything to make a stay quite comfortable and restful. Highly recommend

I booked this cabin for mine and my husband’s anniversary and it did not disappoint! It is exactly as described but better! We spent multiple days in the park and a day in Gardiner. We loved every moment especially sitting on the deck drinking coffee in the morning. Chris and Warren are just the sweetest hosts! I hope to visit again
