About this house rental

Welcome to our historic 2,200 sq ft homestead, the second ever built in Gardiner in 1895! Crafted with hand quarried rock and a distinctive stick frame, our home boasts a castle-like turret that sets it apart. Fully remodeled in 2015, it seamlessly combines the charm of the old West with the comforts of modern living.

As you step into our abode, you'll find yourself surrounded by the tranquility of our front yard flower garden, a favorite haunt of local wildlife. To ensure your stay is seamless, we provide valuable information via email, including packing essentials, optimal times to witness the marvel of Old Faithful, scenic drives, recent animal sightings in the Lamar area, and recommendations for guided tours. For your convenience, we offer a spacious garage at the rear of the house, a rare find during Gardiner's bustling seasons.

Inside, our two-story home features three bedrooms and two full bathrooms. The main floor hosts the master bedroom with a plush king-size bed and a luxurious custom steam shower for unwinding after your day's adventures. Upstairs, two more bedrooms await, one with a queen-size bed and a day bed with trundle, and another with two cozy twin beds. Each bedroom is equipped with new window air conditioners for added comfort during warm spells, offering serene views of either Emigrant Peak or the picturesque backyard where elk and deer often roam.

Relish moments of relaxation on our front porch swing, soaking in panoramic views of Electric Peak and Yellowstone's rolling hills, where elk, deer, bison, antelope, and occasional bears or wolves may grace your sight. Our fenced backyard beckons with mature trees, blooming flowers, a barbecue grill, and a patio perfect for al fresco dining.

The heart of our home, the kitchen, is fully equipped with gourmet essentials like olive oil, vinegar, and spices, alongside modern appliances including a dishwasher, dual-oven range, microwave, blender, mixer, slow cooker, and coffee maker. A breakfast bar and round dining table offer cozy spots for meals and gatherings.

Entertainment options abound, from a 44” smart flat screen TV with wireless WIFI so you can log into your account and watch your favorite shows, and a treasure trove of books, games, and cards. For added convenience, we provide a washer and dryer with laundry detergent.

As professional wildlife photographers and videographers with two decades of experience in Yellowstone, we're thrilled to share our passion with you.

Unique and comfortable home right in the heart of Gardiner MT. The place is comfortable and roomy for a group of three. It's just a short walk to the entrance to Yellowstone. Great town and beautiful location.

The house was really nice, but it was on a busy street which I was not expecting, but it was fine. The view across the street is spectacular with mountains in the background. During a few early evenings of our stay at large elk was eating grass in the next-door neighbor’s yard! That proved to be very entertaining !! The house was very clean thankfully, but the beds unfortunately were not very comfortable, this is excluding the twin beds, which were the most comfortable of all the beds in the house. The master bedroom pillows were comfortable, but none of the other pillows were.. it would’ve been nice to know that they have dish soap, laundry soap, dishwasher soap, bath soap, shampoo, and toilet paper provided, we purchased all of this, but we would not have had we known that. Also, I wish there were more towels provided, bath towels, specifically. We could’ve used more for a family of four. Wonderful stay!

We had a great stay in the Little Castle! Gardiner is a nice small town at the north entrance of Yellowstone. This house is close to restaurants, shops and a grocery store. Very clean, had everything we needed after our days exploring Yellowstone. Thanks for a great stay!

Great location - some might complain about being on the main street but by 10pm - there is limited to no traffic so didn't phase me sleeping. We used as a home base to hike NW Yellowstone - worked our extremely well. Nice old charm feel to the house and the steam shower makes me want to install one at home! Mark responded to most comments/questions within hours - great to work with. An elk joined us two evenings on the side of the house as I was enjoying a beer rocking on the front porch swing. The A/C units weren't great but it was in the 70s/low 80s when we were there, so limited need and maybe that had something to do with it. We'd certainly rent again if back in the area.

We used this house as our base for exploring Yellowstone. It was a clean and comfortable place to relax after a day in the park and recharge for the next day. Gardiner is a great little town. We could walk to everything easily from this location. The house is as described in the listing. 5/5 stars. Would stay here again.

This house was great for our family of 4 adults. It was clean, comfortable and my favorite place was the swing on the porch both morning and evening. The view and people watching were amazing. Thank you!

3 bedroom older build home with well kept woodwork inside, updated appliances, comfortable beds, and window AC (late June stay so cooler evenings, nights, and mornings). We had easy access to Yellowstone so enjoyed 3 days visiting the park. Street parking was available we parked Wagoneer on, looked like it would fit in garage off an alley but we chose not to use it. One early call from owner, really did not need any more comms. We did have trouble finding coffee filters, kept right next to coffee maker in container, had label but missed it initially. We’d stay here again.
