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.

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.

After a long day of travel we arrived at Barbara's wonderful place. The location is perfect. It's close to a grocery store, multiple restaurant's (we liked Backcountry Bistro for dinner and enjoyed live music at Cowboys Lodge and Grill) and downtown Gardiner. The bed was very comfortable which allowed us to get a good nights sleep. In the morning we found a place for breakfast and headed into the north entrance of Yellowstone (which was also very close). We would absolutely stay here again.

Pictures don’t begin to capture the beautiful view of this cozy slice of heaven. The Bush’s spoiled us with a beautiful home away from home. So many wonderful extras down to the smallest detail. Such and awesome oasis to come home to each evening after our journeys into Yellowstone. Thanks again to Allen and Barbara Bush for being such wonderful hosts. Looking forward to our next stay with you all.

We loved this property. My husband and I stayed for three nights while visiting Yellowstone, and it was one of the highlights of our trip. The room was a good size for two people, with a comfortable bed and a full kitchen (stove, oven, microwave, fridge, and dishwasher). Nice bathroom with a combination tub and shower. Everything was very clean, the decor was charming, and the view out the window was spectacular. The owner was friendly and communicative, sending us all the details in advance. We would definitely stay here again!

Wonderful place, beautiful view

Everything was easy at this great studio apartment. The pictures on the listing are very accurate with a gorgeous views and privacy on the patio, which was a wonderful place to drink coffee each morning. Convienent location and nearby laundromat. We didn’t see our host, but she responded promptly when we inquired about checking in a little early. And the kitchen is outfitted with everything you need. We will be back!

A wonderful place to stay in a great location for exploring the northern parts of Yellowstone. The space is indeed cozy, but also very comfortable and quiet. Step outside and there are great views of Gardiner and the mountains. Gardiner was fun to explore too! There is a great grocery store very close for stocking up.
