We absolutely loved this house. We have stayed at many VRBO in the past and this far surpasses any. From the fresh warm brownies when we walked in the front door , to special requests for picnic in the park chairs and a table lamp..things just magically appeared. Awesome hosts with the most! The furniture was luxurious, the back patio and gardens amazing. We did the Yellowstone hot spring on our hosts suggestion, best morning ever. Hot springs surrounded by mountains. Elk visiting us, momma deer and her twins in our yard and we could walk to town for dinner. If I could give this home 6 stars I would. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This beautiful, clean and comfortable home-away-from-home served as a relaxing base for our daily treks exploring Yellowstone. Jolynn & Pat sincerely want their guests to have the best vacation experience possible. I'd highly recommend this property to anyone staying in the area.

Beyond a doubt this is best overall experience we have had with rental properties in the last twenty years. The location was perfect for the park and fly fishing. We saw more elk and mule deer in our yard then in the park. The owners were great to work with. A perfect property that was stocked with everything we needed. There was a grocery store close to the house if you forgot anything. Will book this house again the next time we are in Yellowstone.

JoLynn was a fabulous host with a fabulous home, Everything you could imagine was provided for our stay. Close to town so we got to do our walks and so close to Yellowstone park. We will definitely book this home again if we go back there. It was like home away from home and clean, comfortable and all around perfect. Thank you JoLynn for making our visit to Yellowstone more wonderful than we could have imagined! Recommend highly to anyone visiting there. :):)

This was by far the best vacation rental we have ever stayed in. JoLynn provides extra touches that make you feel like family. From the handwritten welcome note to the fresh baked brownies! Communication was excellent. House was exactly as the listing states. If we ever find ourselves in Gardiner again, we will definitely stay here again!

JoLynn and Patrick offered the perfect home to return to and relax after a busy day at Yellowstone! We loved the cleanliness, location, and the back patio. The kitchen was well-stocked and I could tell this home is maintained with excellence. JoLynn is quick to respond and is so helpful with info about the area. I heartedly recommend staying here. It is one of the best we have had the pleasure to visit!

This was the cleanest house we have ever rented and we walked in to a tray of brownies left by owner which made the house smell great. Perfect location for Yellowstone and elk in front yard.

Perfect vacation turns challenging
All praises for the Yellow Cottage and the hosts are true and accurate. There are absolutely no negative comments from us. We had the unique and historic experience of being in Gardiner when Yellowstone River flooded, and washed out roads in and out of Gardiner. We were scheduled to leave so being isolated brought some anxious thoughts. Thanks to JoLynn for constant communication and information about the situation. At all times we felt safe, and we were so comfortable in the house. Our hopes and prayers are that others can experience this ideal location in the future.

Beautiful Yellow Cottage
Excellent, warm and inviting host who left delicious brownies at checkin. The brownies were much needed after a long travel =). The cottage is very clean and the kitchen is well stocked. We saw elks in the back during our stay. The back patio has grill and patio furnitures excellent for a relaxing break, though we did not get to use (spent much of our time at the park). Excellent location when visiting Yellowstone and groceries and restaurants are within walking distance. Definitely will come back when we visit Yellowstone again.

We will book to stay here again the next time we visit Yellowstone. The home was super clean and has everything you will need for your stay. We enjoyed walking down the street to see the river in the evenings and to enjoy the sunsets. JoLynn and Patrick were great communicators and hosts.

Great house
We loved staying in the yellow house while visiting Yellowstone. The house was super comfortable and really well stocked with anything you could need from kitchen stuff to bear spray to a cooler. It was also well organized so everything was easy to find. We loved arriving to brownies too! The absolute highlight for us was sitting in the backyard in the morning and getting visits from the elk in the area. The drive to Yellowstone was super quick and made it easier to come "home" from the park during the busy part of the day. We would stay here again anytime we came back to Yellowstone!

Amazing
My husband and I had to reschedule our trip due to an illness in the family. JoLynn was so accommodating and caring, I felt like I knew her personally. The place was spotless, we were greeted with some treats and we were very pleased and plan on coming back. One day coming back from Yellowstone park we had 3 huge Elk just sitting in the yard and saw them daily and also mule deer. I can't say enough how we really enjoyed our trip and we will be back! Thank you!

Our family of 5 had a terrific stay at the Yellow Cottage. It was the perfect oasis after long days hiking, driving and enjoying YNP. We got to see Elk and Mule Deer right from the back yard. The grocery store is only a block away. Highly recommend this property.

The house is beautiful and very homey. Everything we needed was available to us. The backyard is amazing, with great views and a bonus of seeing wildlife. This is a must for a vacation home, we didn't want to leave.

The property was very nicely furnished and extremely clean. There was a pan of brownies and snack waiting to greet us when we arrived. The kitchen was well stocked, even with spices. The owner is very nice and when I had a question with the grill she came over to help within a few minutes. We had wildlife in the front yard or would see them walking down the street most days. The Mountain View from the back patio is beautiful but was obstructed some on one side. Overall I would stay here again and recommend it to my friends.

Our stay in Gardiner
Our stay at the Yellow House was great. It had everything we needed to be comfortable after spending all day at the park. It was so nice. Thanks JoLynn!!
5.0
The cottage was cozy and very clean. The homemade brownies and notes of welcome were a great touch. Our family loved the backyard, especially the chance to pick raspberries! The cottage was perfect for our family and we enjoyed making our own meals, grilling and walking just up the block for groceries. The laundry was so nice too! Always nice to avoid the huge laundry pile when you return home. The hosts were very friendly and had great advice about the park. We loved it!

Great little house in a very convenient location!!
From the smell of the freshly baked brownies waiting for us upon arrival to the elk running down the street, this was one of our best VRBO stays ever. The house was clean as a whistle and very well furnished. JoLynn made sure to check on us regularly to make sure we had what we needed...she even left work to come help us with a satellite TV issue. We highly recommend!!

Fabulous Home!
Well maintained and clean as a pin. Everything we needed was right where you would expect it to be. A welcome home note and brownies still warm from the oven were waiting on the dining room table when we arrived. Jo Lynn and Pat gave us excellent advice on sights to see. They suggested beautiful motorcycle routes, restaurants and photo ops. We saw Eagle, Osprey and grizzy bear that we would not have otherwise seen. The back patio became our morning coffee routine. Warm fleecy blankets were on the beds for us to wrap up
in when we were out there on the chilly mornings. We quickly adjusted to the western attitude of AC in the hot afternoon, but open windows in the evening for the fresh mountain air. Pantry was well stocked with all the staples you could imagine. Don't go grocery shopping until you've confirmed what you really need. Jo Lynn replied to texts very quickly, and loaned us aluminum foil for grilling, even though they were headed to soccer practice! When I asked about a crock pot, she brought one right over. Comfortable beds, furniture very comfy. Bathrooms were modern and immaculately clean. We felt very welcome and right at home. We would highly recommend the Yellow House in Gardiner.

Wonderful place to stay right outside of the park
We could not be happier with the Yellow Cottage. It was clean and spacious with everything we needed. JoLynn was quick to respond to any request and very friendly. It was neat to get to see elk and deer right in the front yard, and the backyard was beautiful. Perfect place to come back to every evening after visiting beautiful Yellowstone. Highly recommend staying at the Yellow Cottage!

Comfort and Convenience Abound at the Yellow Cottage
We loved everything about our stay at the Yellow Cottage. The owners were so kind and welcoming, and the home itself is beautiful and comfortable. We truly felt at home, whether returning from a full day of adventures in Yellowstone or just relaxing on the back porch, taking in the view of the mountains and the back yard garden that is so lovingly maintained. We will surely recommend this home to any friends and family members who plan to visit the Yellowstone area!

Gardiner get a way
This property was amazing for our family of four. Even though it is approximately 40- 50 miles to Old Faithful, if you are good at planning...this is your place! And Gardiner has tons of great restaurants and water rafting. This place is well stocked with spices, coffee, etc. And, you are a couple minutes away from the market if you need anything. We cooked out for dinner and had breakfast at the house every day. We would definitely come back if we make another trip to Yellowstone.

excellent place to stay north of yellowstone gardiner entrance
We (Mom and Dad, Wife and I) stayed here at the yellow cottage for 5 nights.
It is very nice clean 2 bedroom home.easy access, comfortable furniture and beds.
Just outside the Gardiner " brick archway" entrance so easy access to Roosevelt lodge / cookout about an hour to the canyon (not including bison Jam delays)
The home is tucked in the town 2 blocks to Market for food /supplies
wildlife---elk slept in the front yard one night. another night doe and two fawns were laying by the front door within 15'
We talked with host family , they are very helpful and friendly people. All four of us felt very comfortable and welcomed in this home
We are very thankful the opportunity to stay ...We will be back in a year or two

The perfect home near Yellowstone
We are only rating the Yellow Cottage 5 stars because we can't give it 6 stars. The cottage is a warm, well-kept, fully-equipped, immaculately-clean home and JoLynn was a wonderful host. We could not have asked for more. As a bonus, deer, elk and rabbits appeared most mornings and evenings to greet us. Gardiner is a charming little town with restaurants (try Corral up the street for burgers and Wonderland for morning coffee) and a grocery within walking distance of the house. You could not be any closer to Yellowstone National Park -less than a 5 minute drive gets you there.

Exceptionally clean, well equipped, and great location!
This was my first time renting on VRBO, and what an amazing house! Perfect size and so much room to accomadate my family of four, plus my mom and dad. Cleanliness is important to me, and this house exceeded my expectations! The location is also great because the entrance to the park is so close, probably about a 5 minute drive away. As you walk up the street you’re already in the town area. The owner lives just across the street, so if you ever need anything she’s readily available. JoLynn is also very quick to respond to your questions. She was so sweet she even gave my mom a balloon and a bottle of wine for her birthday. I highly recommend staying here! I know for sure when we come back to visit Yellowstone in the future, I wouldn’t hesitate to book this house again. Many thanks JoLynn!

One of our favorites! Beautiful backyard and very convenient location!
This home has so much to offer! Restaurants and grocery within walking distance, little food stand with very good ice cream right on the corner of the street, and the super cute backyard was a treat! The owners are nearby and very friendly, we were even greeted with homemade brownies when we entered the home! That was a first for us. This home has a very cozy interior which made us feel at home right away. The beds are comfy, and this is a very clean home!
