About this property

YEAR ROUND, a Cozy Studio for 2, Overlooking the Historic Yellowstone Arch

NEW Studio, Full Bathroom, Full Kitchen, Private Entry, Peaceful Yard with Views
Available year-round, enjoy the peace, quiet, snow and skiing in the winter; the abundant wildlife in the shoulder seasons and the hiking, rafting and scenery in the summer months.

"Where The Buffalo Rooms" a studio apartment situated up on a bluff above the town of Gardiner, Montana with amazing views of the historic Yellowstone Arch, Electric Peak and the North Entrance to Yellowstone National Park.

Our walk-out studio apartment comes equipped with all the comforts of home including a pillow-top, queen bed, full bathroom with tub and hand-held shower head and a full kitchen. The sofa with extended chaise is the perfect spot to relax, catch a movie or check your email after a full-day exploring Yellowstone! The full kitchen will allow you to fix your own meals and pack lunches in the available cooler for your journey into the Park. Smart TV and Wireless Internet are included.

What we love about our home is that it is "in town" without being down on the main street. Our secluded lot is located up on the hill, about a five minute walk to downtown Gardiner where you will find shopping, restaurants, raft companies and more! The studio has an outside patio and lawn directly by the unit. Barbecue your dinner while admiring the view! There is private parking and a separate gated entry down to the unit. Our home is located up a dirt road, hill. Winter reservations will need an All-Wheel drive vehicle to be sure of access, even though the owner plows daily. Exterior security cameras are present on the property.

We keep our reservation calendar updated to the minute and our description on this page is accurate. So if you feel this is the spot for your next vacation and your dates are available on our calendar, you are welcome to book directly without contacting us (use Instant Booking option). Just follow VRBO's process with your credit card. We will be in touch immediately upon booking. If you do have specific questions not answered here, please email Barbara.
NOTE: VRBO sometimes INCORRECTLY lists our unit as a one bedroom, this is INCORRECT, it is definitely a STUDIO.
The apartment is air-conditioned and features a kitchen and a patio, and there's space to spread out with a separate bedroom. Guests can enjoy a Smart TV and stay connected with free WiFi. Other standard amenities include a fenced private yard, a coffee maker, and a safe.

The Buffalo room is amazing! Highly recommended for your visit to Yellowstone. We loved the views and the location was very convenient. Only a few minutes from the Gardiner entrance to the park, we walked to dinner each night and had some friendly encounters with a few elks in town. If we come back to Yellowstone, we’ll definitely stay here. Thank you Barbara!!!!

We thoroughly enjoyed the Buffalo room during our 3-day visit to Yellowstone! The attention to detail was apparent in every respect - including things like providing nice binoculars and a hard sided igloo cooler to make our day trips into the park even better! The maintenance, cleanliness, and quality of accommodation was exactly what we hoped for. We would stay there again without hesitation. Thank you, Barbara and Allan!

This studio provides everything two people need to access YNP from the north gate. Clean, private, well stocked with essentials to cook onsite. Beautiful views and natural lighting. Bonus for us was the natural alarm clock of a singing bird a 6:00am. What a great way to wake up. Highly recommend.
