Mountain King Cabin above the Yellowstone River--Six Blocks to Yellowstone Park

The Mountain King Cabin is an amazing place to call home during your visit to Yellowstone Park. Located in the heart of Gardiner, on the banks of the Yellowstone River, it is just a mile from the north entrance to Yellowstone Park. The house faces south looking into the park highlighting stunning views of 11,000 foot Electric Peak. You can literally look out the windows, or off the deck and see: elk, antelope, deer, and occasionally bears and wolves roaming the hillsides of Yellowstone.

This rustic Montana log cabin is an inviting, airy open space for groups size 6-8 people with a fun loft for the kids! Stay in this beautiful cabin, AND spend a couple days rafting, horseback riding, and viewing wild life inside Yellowstone. With two nearby hot springs to soak in, hiking, and fishing, the outdoor fun is endless. It's easy and all in one place! Located in the heart of Gardiner, take an evening stroll around town shopping or over to grab a bite to eat. Large groups can book our neighboring Yellowstone cabins the Eagles Nest and Grizzly Den.....perfect for multi-family vacations!

The overall effect of this little cabin is so much greater than the sum of its parts. Once you figure out the awkward parking situation, the detached laundry room, and finicky heating & cooling, the rest of your time will be some of the best you've ever had. Mountain King has one of the best balconies in the entire world, I'm willing to wager, and walking straight into Yellowstone Park was one of the coolest wildlife experiences I've had. I actually feel silly reviewing it so well - because it'll probably be booked next time I want to visit!

Was a great place to tour Yellowstone. Conveniently located and so close with great views. The Town lacks restaurants but that’s on Gardiner house was good, though parking can be strained.

Yellowstone Get Away
We enjoyed the cabin and listening to the Yellowstone River! There is a significant problem with parking. The parking site is at the end of a dead end alley and we were trapped in for 2 days; thankfully we had access to our friend's car. Bring oil/nonstick spray but otherwise, there are plenty of dishes, glasses, pots and pans but minimal kitchen sundries. 6 blocks from the north entrance to the park was amazing and we did see elk from the deck in the park! Not likely to stay at the same cabin, but we would stay in one closer to the alley entrance.

No complaints, plenty of fans, clean, cozy, would recommend an updated couch but you don’t use it much anyways, didn’t even need to reach out to the owner because they informed us in details before we arrived. Highly recommended!

Yellowstone Park
It was an accurate description of the house. Amazing view and you’re right on the river. The view never gets old. Some elk came right up to our house, which was cool! The house itself was nice, cabin style, plenty of beds. A 2nd bathroom would have been nice but we knew that going into it. We noticed in the laundry room there were keys to all houses with each house listed. Probably for the cleaning staff but seemed a little unsafe. Overall very happy with our stay. Might be a little pricey ($1400 for 3 nights after taxes/fees).

An awesome place in an awesome town!
The Mountain King was such a cute and cozy place to stay, with that incredible balcony overlooking the beautiful Yellowstone River! The only issue, and I’d read on some reviews about it, is that we were never able to park in that one offered spot! There was a permanent car parked several feet into that very narrow space!😁

Awesome!
The cabin was wonderful! Parking was a bit challenging but not a deterrent at all. Location was amazing. Gardiner is a fantastic little town, and the people are super friendly! You can walk to anything! The park is literally across the street, and so fun to watch rafters putting in while relaxing on the large porch on the river! Host is super responsive and helpful. We will be back!

Beautiful Cabin with incredible views
The cabin is a beautiful cabin and very roomy. The check in process was a bit confusing as the email stated that the keys would be on the table and the door would be unlocked. When we arrived the door was locked. I signed into VRBO and there was another message with the code and info. The cabin is very clean and stocked well with everything you need including coolers. Overall a positive experience and would return if ever in the area again.

Beautiful Views
Went with a family of 5 of which 3 were teens.The parking was not ideal for a large suv and the beds were not tailored for older teens. The house would be great for a family with small kids but not for older teens or adults. The rafting company is right next door so you can hear them and see them right outside your window early in the morning. The views were spectacular especially at night from the porch and it is right outside Yellowstone so it is close to everything.

Location was great
Location relative to Yellowstone cant be beat BUT the cabin is Literally right next to a rafting guide and they launch the rafts right outside the bedroom windows. You can hear them banging up against the walls. Also, the upstairs air-conditioning dis not work properly so we just used the downstairs. Not a big deal because we spent most of our time away. The place has a great feel to it and the view from the porch is amazing! Especially for the sunset!

A place to sleep and enjoy the views!
Overall stay was really nice. The parking situation here is the worst part of our stay. Because the rental is at the end of an alley we had issues getting blocked in. That being said the owner was super helpful in getting the vehicles moved so that it did not interfere with our plans. She was quick to respond and these issues were due to others parking where they should not. Neighbors were really helpful too. Our only other complaint would be the height of the mounted tv. It is so high! We did not enjoying the living space like we would have if the tv was lower. But the views from the balcony really make this a great spot. We loved watching the rafters go by. Comfortable beds and very clean too.

The cabin has a great view but has many issues.
Great view but kitchen needs to be updated. towel rack needs to be mounted properly. AC unit on loft did not worked and window would not open. TV needs to be updated Parking is very tight. There is also no privacy in any room since wall are so thin. This place has a great view but has many problems.

The cabin was cute and we greatly enjoyed watching the wildlife across on the mountains from the porch. Cabin is extremely close to other buildings and you were awaken Every morning when the rafts were being dropped to the river. Other than that it was beautiful and loved listening to the River at night. I do recommend it.

Amazing view of the river
We loved our stay in Gardiner, everything was clean and well stocked. The views of the river were definitely the highlight of our mornings and evenings. We watched an elk eat right below our balcony on our last evening! Communication with Liza was great, she was responsive and very helpful after the flood. We are so glad we made it and feel so lucky to have enjoyed Gardiner this summer. 100% recommend and can't wait to be back! We were able to visit the park with a Yellowstone Wild tour (we did the nature tour with Emil, and it was amazing!).
