Elk Haven House - Less than 5 min from Yellowstone Park! Beautiful views!
Beautiful and quiet 3 bedroom 2 bath home that comfortably sleeps 6, and is located less than 5 minutes from Yellowstone Park! Also, it’s a short walk from the property to access Gardiner’s downtown restaurants and shops! The property offers a perfect combination for guests; a quiet location away from the summer crowds joined with a close proximity to Yellowstone, Gardiner proper, and hiking trails. Wildlife is common in the area and neighborhood, so don't be surprised if you see elk, bison, deer, a fox, or bighorn sheep on or near the property.
The house has a 4 zone mini split AC/heat pump system to help keep a comfortable indoor temperature year round. The living room and each bedroom have their own dedicated AC/Heat pump wall mounted mini split unit. This system allows guests to individually set their desired bedroom and living room temperatures. Relax and sleep in comfort all year long! On those extra cold winter nights, there is a kitchen heater, along with baseboard heaters in the living room and bedrooms to provide extra warmth if needed.
Luxury vinyl plank flooring installed throughout the main level of the house. The house has a fully stocked kitchen including an electric range/oven, coffee maker, refrigerator, dishwasher, microwave, etc. Downstairs there is a washer and dryer for guests, along with a card table, tv, and dvd player.

The house had everything we needed for our Yellowstone stay. It was a great home base for us. We did not want to spend time eating out, so the full kitchen was greatly appreciated. The back yard is a wonderful place to view the sunset.
We had an absolutely wonderful stay at the property! The location is perfect for spending time in Yellowstone! The wildlife was phenomenal! We cannot wait to come back!
Elk Haven was a great place for 2 older couples to stay on a long weekend visit to Yellowstone. It has every amenity and then some—and as we found when we set out on three mornings, it really IS an elk haven. Although we didn’t bring grandkids, it looked quite welcoming for families, too.
We lived the property and really enjoyed the hot tub and the Elk in the neighborhood! So close to North Entrance of Yellowstone. Highly recommend this home.
Beautiful views and close to Yellowstone. We enjoyed the Elk visits. The home was clean and had lots of thoughtful touches. The hot tub and sauna were a bonus!
The property had everything we needed; it was well stocked. The rooms were comfortable with individual A/C and blackout shades. Location was close to town and park entrance and we loved the Elk that visited nearby the house.
Cozy, clean, and fun! Everything a family getaway should be. Days in the park evenings spent around the table eating, playing games, watching movies, reminiscing over the day in the sauna and hot tub. Simply ideal!
Wonderful property with easy access to Yellowstone and surrounding area. The hot tub & sauna were perfect ends to our long days that started out with elk visitors in the front yard! Highly recommend.
The property was perfect for our family for our Yellowstone winter tour. We watched Elk on the mountain visible from the kitchen. The house was perfect for us. Great location. The living room and beds were very comfortable.
The property was in a great location to Yellowstone and had more elk in the yard than in Yellowstone! It was a great place to unwind after a long day of exploring. The hot tub, sauna and outdoor fireplace were great! Owners were very responsive.
We thoroughly enjoyed our week in this lovely home. We saw elk and rabbits in the yard most days along with lovely Mountain View. Gardiner was a great home base to explore the park. It was a fun little town! The home was clean and spacious and had everything we needed for our stay. Highly recommend this property.
Spacious well equipped house with lovely views. Close enough to the amenities in Gardiner but far way enough to be peaceful. The hot tub was an added bonus. Perfect location for Yellowstone with Lamar valley, Mammoth, Canyon village all within easy reach.
We have stayed in a lot of VRBO homes and this was the very best. It was just as described and was literally, home away from home. The little town of Gardiner had everything we needed. The north entrance to Yellowstone National Park and all of its wonder and beauty was less than 5 minutes away! This was our best vacation ever! Thank you!!
This home was a delight to stay in. Great attention was given to making sure any thing needed was there. We spent our days in Yellowstone and then came home to comfortable furniture to rest and be ready for tomorrow. The host was great! Thanks!
We loved Elk Haven- great location for us- we came to spend time in the Park. Our college age kids joined us and your house gave us the perfect amount of space for everyone to have privacy. We loved the hot tub ( next time we will enjoy the sauna too!) Our son especially loved all the photos- he is a budding photographer! Thanks again - we will be back!
Our family absolutely loved this house. From the elk in the front yard to the sauna and hot tub in the back, there was something for everyone. We appreciated the well supplied kitchen and toiletries, as well as the abundance of games and movies. Super well thought out and excellent communication. Gardiner is a lovely town and the proximity to the north gate can’t be beat.
We visited with our adult children to spend time in Yellowstone. The house is absolutely beautiful and the host was amazing. The house sits within minutes to the Yellowstone entrance, and is walking distance to town. The inside has everything you need to make meals including a grill. We enjoyed using the hot tub and having laundry on site was such a great amenity. I have already told family about the home, and we are planning another trip and would definitely stay there again!
We enjoyed our short stay and I appreciate the owners allowing us to shorten our stay. The house was clean and well maintained. Everything you could need was there. We did not use any of the amenities, but everything looked in order. The owner was easy to work with and quick to reply. Check in was simple. The home is located in a beautiful area and super easy to get to. Super close to the north entrance of Yellowstone!
It’s exactly how it is described. Had everything we needed for our group of 6 older adults who were visiting Yellowstone. We highly recommend it, super clean. Saw wildlife almost everyday out the window, mostly elk. Owners responded right away to emails with questions. Was convenient to the park entrance.
The house was PERFECT for 6 adults. We really enjoyed evenings on the beautiful deck and put use to the spa, sauna, fire pit table and grill. The living room was extremely spacious and we enjoyed looking at all the wildlife photos. The kitchen space was also great for all of us. The entrance to Yellowstone was only .5 miles and the grocery store and shops were even closer. As the the elk, they were EVERYWHERE in this neighborhood, including our front yard. We all enjoyed watching these majestic creatures right in the driveway. We would all stay here again and I would highly recommend this rental to friends.
