The Mountain King Cabin is an amazing place to call home during your visit to Yellowstone Park. Located in the heart of Gardiner, on the banks of the Yellowstone River, it is just a mile from the north entrance to Yellowstone Park. The house faces south looking into the park highlighting stunning views of 11,000 foot Electric Peak. You can literally look out the windows, or off the deck and see: elk, antelope, deer, and occasionally bears and wolves roaming the hillsides of Yellowstone.

This rustic Montana log cabin is an inviting, airy open space for groups size 6-8 people with a fun loft for the kids! Stay in this beautiful cabin, AND spend a couple days rafting, horseback riding, and viewing wild life inside Yellowstone. With two nearby hot springs to soak in, hiking, and fishing, the outdoor fun is endless. It's easy and all in one place! Located in the heart of Gardiner, take an evening stroll around town shopping or over to grab a bite to eat. Large groups can book our neighboring Yellowstone cabins the Eagles Nest and Grizzly Den.....perfect for multi-family vacations!
We are located about an hour from the Bozeman Airport.

Best stay while visiting Yellowstone

This was the perfect place for the last three nights of our trip. Had room to spread out, the views were amazing, walking to restaurants was so nice. We had a designated parking spot and never had an issue. I’ll be recommending this place to all friends visiting the park. Never a line to get through the gate!

Yellowstone River Perfect Stay

We recently stayed for three nights at this property while visiting Yellowstone. The location in Gardiner was so quaint and peaceful and we loved being in a property that overlooked the river. The cabin was well appointed and the extra touches of having toddler utensils, access to a booster seat and a safety gate was so thoughtful. We also enjoyed the comfortable beds and having coolers to use during our visits to the park. Check in and check out were very easy. Parking was very tight but you can’t beat waking up to the sounds of the river. The only drawback is the early morning rafting trips that launch next to the property. The line to lower the rafts is directly next to the two bedrooms and if you are hoping to sleep past eight then you are out of luck. Luckily we were up early so this was not an issue. Great cabin for a trip to the area and lots of coffee shops and local restaurants to dine at or grab food as you head into the parks.

Early Season Trip to Yellowstone

Very nice cabin with a great view. Parking is a challenge as it is in an alley behind a row of businesses facing Main Street. Multiple lights at the peak of the ceiling did not work reading at night was difficult. Great location for a fair price so we had plenty of time each day in the park, and cooked our own South Louisiana breakfast and dinner each day!

Paradise in Paradise Valley

The overall effect of this little cabin is so much greater than the sum of its parts. Once you figure out the awkward parking situation, the detached laundry room, and finicky heating & cooling, the rest of your time will be some of the best you've ever had. Mountain King has one of the best balconies in the entire world, I'm willing to wager, and walking straight into Yellowstone Park was one of the coolest wildlife experiences I've had. I actually feel silly reviewing it so well - because it'll probably be booked next time I want to visit!

Yellowstone Get Away

We enjoyed the cabin and listening to the Yellowstone River! There is a significant problem with parking. The parking site is at the end of a dead end alley and we were trapped in for 2 days; thankfully we had access to our friend's car. Bring oil/nonstick spray but otherwise, there are plenty of dishes, glasses, pots and pans but minimal kitchen sundries. 6 blocks from the north entrance to the park was amazing and we did see elk from the deck in the park! Not likely to stay at the same cabin, but we would stay in one closer to the alley entrance.

No complaints, plenty of fans, clean, cozy, would recommend an updated couch but you don’t use it much anyways, didn’t even need to reach out to the owner because they informed us in details before we arrived. Highly recommended!

Yellowstone Park

It was an accurate description of the house. Amazing view and you’re right on the river. The view never gets old. Some elk came right up to our house, which was cool! The house itself was nice, cabin style, plenty of beds. A 2nd bathroom would have been nice but we knew that going into it. We noticed in the laundry room there were keys to all houses with each house listed. Probably for the cleaning staff but seemed a little unsafe. Overall very happy with our stay. Might be a little pricey ($1400 for 3 nights after taxes/fees).

Great creek side location

Cute cabin right above creek, found as described! Pros- -kids loved loft bedroom w four twins, - fun watching the flying pig set up their rafts (yes you can hear them but we’re up by 8:30 anyway) -deck overlooked creek, fun seeing wide life too Cons -walls within cabin are paper thin. For example if i was in master bedroom whole cabin can hear normal conversation. Every time my kids rolled over in beds upstairs I awakened bc I could hear it. My son literally put his finger from the loft floor edge into my bedroom to wave goodnight. -beds all were super squeaky and rolled on wood floors constantly. -tv in family room virtually unusable at 7feet up. -laundry is not in cabin. Separate bldg is easy but the hours are 4-9pm!! This was unknown and after a week in GTNP this threw a wrench in our plans. So Plan accordingly -Basically everything is very cute! But many things felt like they may fall apart, very much a rental and not someone’s home. We enjoyed our 5 nights! But likely would try something different if/when we return! Cons-

An awesome place in an awesome town!

The Mountain King was such a cute and cozy place to stay, with that incredible balcony overlooking the beautiful Yellowstone River! The only issue, and I’d read on some reviews about it, is that we were never able to park in that one offered spot! There was a permanent car parked several feet into that very narrow space!😁

The cabin was wonderful! Parking was a bit challenging but not a deterrent at all. Location was amazing. Gardiner is a fantastic little town, and the people are super friendly! You can walk to anything! The park is literally across the street, and so fun to watch rafters putting in while relaxing on the large porch on the river! Host is super responsive and helpful. We will be back!

Beautiful Cabin with incredible views

The cabin is a beautiful cabin and very roomy. The check in process was a bit confusing as the email stated that the keys would be on the table and the door would be unlocked. When we arrived the door was locked. I signed into VRBO and there was another message with the code and info. The cabin is very clean and stocked well with everything you need including coolers. Overall a positive experience and would return if ever in the area again.
