This house is iconic. Step back in time with all the modern conveniences in a house that is right next door to Yellowstone. Having a garage is a great advantage in Gardiner where parking can be tight. A quiet and secluded rear patio was a great gathering spot in the evening. Fantastic week!

Was a wonderful property that has been renovated and has a very well appointed kitchen, great views of the mountains around Gardiner, and lovely backyard with grill. Everything we need to have a relaxing time. Near restaurants and park entrance. However, if you want to cook/grill they have everything you need and the grocery store is within walking distance. They even have a steam shower, great after a day of exploring the park!!! Would stay here again in a heartbeat.

I really liked the close location to Yellowstone. We could walk to the arch entrance and were super close to restaurants, tours, gifts shops and Mammoth Springs. The kitchen had everything we needed. There was smart TV in the living room (we needed to shift furniture around a lil so we could all see the TV). The downstairs master bedroom is really nice and the downstairs shower was amazing. My family members stayed upstairs and felt it was outdated and needed a remodel. The wood flooring was old and uneven and the decor reminded me of my grandma's in the 70s. The 2 twins can't really go together to make a bigger bed like we planned. There was no nightstand in that room so we borrowed a wobbly table and doll light from the other bedroom so my mom had a nightstand. The upstairs shower was real tight with a small folding shower door and they felt there was little room for toiletries. The upstairs they used to sleep and went downstairs for comfort.
We all sat out on the front porch every morning and evening and loved it. We watched people and animals walk down the street and enjoyed the ambiance a lot. We could see elk on the hillside. The back porch was private with a grill and lots of lush beautiful plants and a cute bunny rabbit. The garage was huge but we never used it as there was good parking on the street in front of the house. Overall we enjoyed our stay; the price is right, the location is great and our family loved our Yellowstone trip.

The home was very comfortable and well equipped. It was clean and accommodating. Our only concern was that it was on a busy street

We had a great time at the property. It’s right on the main street in town, close to everything. It’s less than a mile from the Roosevelt Arch, and we watched the elk on the hill across the river from the front porch.
It was a perfect place for our family of 7.

Loved our stay at the Little Castle! Perfectly location for entering Yellowstone, and walking around Gardiner. Comfy beds, nice back yard and front porch. House is fully equipped for all of our needs. Bonus-- upon leaving early one morning we were delayed at the front porch by a Elk nursing her calf on the sidewalk.

Wonderful, clean property with a nice private backyard. Renovated heritage house. The owner was quite helpful and responds quickly. The property is steps away from Yellowstone National Park. I highly recommend the house. Thank you Mark.

This property was right at the north entrance to Yellowstone. Great little town and good restaurant selection for such a remote place. Took a rafting trip with Wild West which was right down the street. Close enough to walk. Also did a e-bike trip with Big Sky. There is a grocery store very close to the property. Great trip!!

The home is so unique and the location was perfect. We loved our mornings and evenings on the porch watching the elk roam, the walkability of the town, and the easy access to the park. It was a wonderful time for our family.

We had our Yellowstone Wolf Summit and this was the sweetest house to relax in after long days. Perfectly located to walk anywhere in town, with an amazing steam shower to help me relax and enjoy the greatest place on earth.

We loved everything about the house. The location was wonderful. We got an early start each day and headed out for adventure, hiking and enjoying the national park every day. We met the next door homeowner, Dave, on our first day, he was helping a stranded truck on the street. The next day he brought us delicious treats from his bakery in town. A few days later we met his wife Sharon. Everyone is so friendly and welcoming. The house had everything we needed, we cooked meals every day, it was convenient to have all the amenities and we enjoyed playing games and relaxing to prepare for our next day's adventure. Easy check in and out. Thanks for making our vacation one of our best ever!

Very comfortable for our party if 7. Walking distance to groceries, restaurants, bars, gift shops, guided fishing, whitewater rafting, and more. Beautiful yard. Plenty space for indoor and outdoor gatherings. Best of all, it’s a mile from YNP north entrance!!

The location is excellent. Very close to North gate and Lamar for animals. However the house is right on the Main Street of Gardiner which tends to be noisy throughout the day and early evening. Kitchen is very well equipped. The family room is not too comfortable. Roku TV with no directions was a disappointment. During our stay unfortunately the yard guy showed up to cut the grass right during the dinner hour would have thought during the day when guests are out would have been a better time. For those who stay must eat at Wonderland Cafe - amazing food and service. No status check from hosts or property manager during stay to see how things were going. If looking for North end of park to be you base you should consider Gardiner.

Beautiful home, great location, super clean. Right in the heart of Gardiner. You can easily walk to the iconic Roosevelt Arch and was less than a 10-minute drive to Mammoth Hot Springs. Highly recommend this property!

Mini-Castle stay in Gardiner!
We absolutely loved staying in Gardiner and having the opportunity to meet more local residents than we probably would have under normal circumstances. We made it to Gardiner the day before the town got landlocked from the flooding and road damage that occurred and shut down Yellowstone in June. We were grateful to have the gas fireplace in case the power went out because nights were still quite chilly. Fortunately power never went out. The house was very comfortable my three friends and I all enjoyed showers in the downstairs huge steam shower. The kitchen was well equipped, and it was nice to have access to use the garage which we didn’t take as much advantage of as we normally would have for fear of the power going out. The location was perfect, within walking distance of the market, restaurants and shops. Mark, our host, was very responsive throughout the entire stay, and very supportive when it looked like we may end up in Gardiner longer than we planned due to road closures. A volunteer came by the house to see if anyone would require prescription renewals be flown in if the road was closed for longer than it was. The local Gardiner Market and its employees provided communication and support to residents and visitors alike. Gardiner and its residents are amazing, resilient, gracious, and we won’t hesitate to visit again.

We had a very enjoyable stay. This place is all about location with ease into the park every day. We spent many mornings sitting on the front porch enjoying the view. The kitchen had everything we needed and the rooms and beds were comfortable. The upstairs shower lacks but the downstairs shower makes up for it 10 times over.
Host was quickly responsive to a small issue. Overall highly recommend this house for a rental.

We had a wonderful time. The house is quaint and well appointed. The owners provided lots of extras that I have not found at other rental properties, including a spice drawer, laundry soap, spot remover, bear spray and many other extras. It's a great location within walking distance of the grocery store and restaurants. I would certainly book again.

We explored Grand Teton NP and made our way north to Gardiner to finish out our vacation exploring Yellowstone. The house is very conveniently located near the northern entrance to Yellowstone with a the grocery store just down the street. One of our adult sons has celiac so it was wonderful being able to prepare meals at home. The kitchen is extremely well-appointed and well-stocked. The unique house decor reflects the nature of the region. You can tell there was a lot of thought and creativity put into decorating. The master bathroom was amazing! Everyone was very comfortable in their separate bedrooms. At first I was taken by surprise by the high cleaning fee but it was well worth it to have such a lovely, clean, and well-maintained place to back to at the end of long day of hiking. We really appreciated the wildlife guide the hosts made and left for us. It came in handy. Staying here was a great way to end our Wyoming/Montana trip!

Easy walking distance to restaurants and stores. Accommodations were very clean and well suited to a family or couples. The hosts responded immediately to any questions and were able to resolve minor issues quickly. Communal spaces were large enough for six adults and very comfortable.
