What Guests Have to Say about the
Yellowstone Park Riverfront Chalet
5 StarsOur family absolutely loved the chalet! The property was just as advertised… the living room and kitchen were up-to-date and very cozy. The master bedroom view was amazing. And nothing can beat the view from the balcony. My husband and I loved our quiet time in the mornings on the balcony.
An entire herd of elk joined us the first two mornings, and we always saw 2-3 pronghorn on the way into Gardiner. We also enjoyed watching the family of marmots or “chunky squirrels” as my son referred to them. The quick drive into Yellowstone was fantastic.
We would highly recommend this property to anyone that wants to enjoy the beauty of Montana and Yellowstone in a beautiful yet cozy home.

Bonnie Lynn was a wonderful host. She communicated well leading up to our vacation giving us fun activities to do in Gardiner knowing the North entrance was closed to the public. We loved sitting on the expansive deck and watching the wildlife come into the yard. The location was perfect as it was so close to town. We loved our stay!

I would like to thank you for the love and kindness you showed my wife and I during our stay at the Chalet. As I sit down to write my thank you to you, my eyes fill up with tears, as I think about what we saw and felt by the beauty that surrounded us, from the moment we stepped into your doors until the last step out your doors. The beauty, was not just in the mountain that we woke up to each day, the wildlife at ran free each day or what God has created in Yellowstone, it was the love that shined through your eyes and heart towards us daily. You have no idea what you have done for this broken-down Veteran, who needed what you had to offered, a different look at life. What I realized by my stay in your Chalet and what I witness by what surrounded me every day, is the peace I now have within my soul, that what I fight for was “So Worth It.” I have come home, and now I can move forward in life. Thank you, you have saved a life, and I hope others will see and feel what I have, because I am not the only one out there who needs this time I had! Shawn (and Veronica)

From the Bozeman International Airport

From the Bozeman International Airport (Gallatin Field)
Take I-90 to Livingston Exit 333 (Livingston, Montana). Exit the freeway and the ramp takes you around a cloverleaf to a traffic light. This is the intersection with State Hwy. 89. Turn left (south) onto Hwy. 89. You will be heading south through the Paradise Valley.
Travel about 45 miles south on Hwy. 89. Some of the landmarks you will pass by include a town called Emigrant where there is a flashing light at the only intersection with the highway—continue south, a sign that marks the Tom Miner Basin off to your right, and a sign that tells you that you are entering Yankee Jim Canyon (which is the narrow canyon that Yellowstone River runs north through and where the whitewater rafting tours run out of Gardiner). Continue south.
As you come out of Yankee Jim Canyon, you have another few miles to go to your turnoff. The road follows the Yellowstone River, which you will see on your right. After a few miles, you will come to a small green highway sign that says "Entering Corwin Springs" and a large sign saying Yellowstone Hot Springs. The next driveway to the right is your turn and takes you to the Corwin Springs Bridge. The Corwin Springs Bridge is the only way over the river until you get all the way into Gardiner.
(Please note: The new Hot Springs is now open at Corwin Springs and there is a large sign that states Yellowstone Hot Springs.)
Cross the bridge and make an immediate left turn onto the dirt road which is Old Yellowstone Trail South. Go along this road approximately 2.5 miles. You will pass a few homes, lots of meadows, and a ranch operation (Royal Teton) where the buildings are painted yellow. The next property after this ranch is the cabins. Turn left at the driveway entrance with a white sign marked “Yellowstone Cabins” with addresses beginning with 550 (there is a new brown home on your right-hand side as you enter the driveway. Proceed beneath the large log arch entry. Drive in and park at your designated cabin. Let yourself in with the combination lock code you have been given.
