Yellowstone Retreat Rentals U2: two blocks from Yellowstone!

Welcome to Yellowstone Retreat Rentals! Built in 2021, our two bedroom one bathroom apartments carry all the necessities you need to visit Yellowstone. The apartment is located only four blocks from the historic Roosevelt Arch, the North Entrance to Yellowstone. We are also located a few blocks from Arch Park, which provides grills, a gazebo and picnic tables, and the neighborhood elk that tend to hang out there. With our convenient location, you will also be close to all of the wonderful shops and restaurants our little town has to offer. We have BRAND NEW MATTRESSES delivered in April of 2025.
As mentioned above, each unit has two bedrooms and one bathroom. It also has a laundry room, washer and dryer, with laundry soap and dryer sheets provided (nice for those guests who have been traveling for a bit!). There is a queen bed in each bedroom, and there is a queen size sleeper sofa in the living room. We provide extra blankets, pillows, and sheet sets for the sleeper sofa. The bathroom has a tub/shower combo, as well as hairdryer and towels provided. We have a full kitchen with a full size oven, fridge, microwave, and dishwasher. All of the basic kitchen essentials are provided along with dish soap. You cannot carry bear spray on the airplane, which is why we provide it for you! It is located above the microwave in the kitchen. Parking in Gardiner can be a struggle - not here! There is one parking spot per unit provided, right in front of the building. There is also a paved handicapped spot right in front of our ADA unit for those in need of it.

Some important things to note :
*We DO NOT provide cable TV. We have Smart TVs and you have the ability to log in to any streaming service you carry. We have the best WIFI plan available to accommodate our working travelers and those who want to relax with a movie after a long day in the park.
*Our air conditioning unit (our AC is not central air) is located in the living room, and tower fans are provided in the closet of each bedroom.
*If you are sensitive to noise, we would recommend getting a top floor unit. We worked with our contractor to do all we can to prevent noise transference, but these are apartments with two upper units, and two lower units. We also enforce quiet time from 10pm-7am, and no parties are allowed at our apartment.
*For our ADA unit: The countertops and cabinets are lower, and there is no under sink storage in the bathroom or kitchen to accommodate our guests in wheelchairs.

We are a small family business, and love what we do. We take great pride in our business, and want to provide each guest with a 5 star experience! We call this beautiful place our home, and sharing it with our guests is a great pleasure. Please inquire with any questions you may have, we look forward to seeing you soon!

Unit 2 is in the "Gray Building". When looking at the building, it's the ground floor unit on the right.

We booked two apartments right next to each other for 8 adults and 2 kids and were very happy with our stay! The location could not be better and is a 3 minute drive to the east entrance of Yellowstone. The apartments we exactly as described and had everything we needed! There are many cute shops and restaurants within walking distance to the apartments as well which made it very convenient after a long day of exploring the park

Close to the park

This two bedroom appartment is literally right outside the gate to Yellowstone and has a nicely arranged kitchen and living space. The town road to the apartment is a bit rough but the VRBO itself is perfect.

This is a great place to stay if you're visiting Yellowstone. Maybe a 5 minute drive to the North entrance. Property managers clearly communicated check-in and check-out instructions, and provided more amenities than I was expecting (bear spray was so thoughtful!). A few negatives: beds aren't super comfortable; walls/ceilings are pretty thin; wifi isn't great, especially when all units are occupied. Still, the positives far outweigh the negatives and I'm so glad we got to stay here!

Great Stay!!

We we traveling from PA and had a hotel booked, but we were tired of the bland hotel experience. We decided to spend try and spend our 2 nights on the Gardiner side of the park somewhere more comfortable, and we lucked out with this place. The cleanliness was perfect. The actually quality of these unit was amazing. The owners could have scrimped on features and furnishings, but they chose to go the quality route. There were many extra to ensure that you could be comfortable and enjoy your time instead of running out to get little things. If you are close considering a hotel, stop and get this place instead, you won’t regret it!

The kitchen had everything we needed. The unit was very nice and in great condition. Having a laundry room is a plus. Overall great place. A few things were problematic: The people staying above us were very noisy. They left a small bottle of shampoo and conditioner for us, but it was not enough for 3 people for three days - a really small amount! Our mattress was very uncomfortable. But we enjoyed our stay nonetheless.

Beautiful apartment with a view

We loved our stay in this apartment! I can’t say enough good about it - it deserves 10 stars for being an excellent place to stay while visiting Yellowstone! It is nice and roomy, super clean, beautifully decorated, well-supplied and convenient to downtown Gardiner and the north entrance to Yellowstone. Our hosts were delightful! They are friendly and quick to communicate with. We loved the package of huckleberry pancakes and syrup (a local favorite) they provided us. We enjoyed the open floor plan with a big kitchen and living room. After spending our days touring Yellowstone, we were able to have dinner and play some board games around the big dining room table. The laundry room was a huge plus as well. Gardiner is a charming little town with 5 rafting/outfitters, some tourist shops and restaurants. We enjoyed walking over to the Iron Horse Grill for some bison burgers. During our trip we drove completely around Yellowstone, saw lots of wildlife, went fly fishing, hiked and rode horses. If you’re looking for a great place to stay near the north entrance to the park, I highly recommend this apartment!

Great apartment right outside Yellowstone

This apartment was very clean and had very nice modern touches, making it feel like a home away from home. Our unit was on the bottom floor which did lead to some noise from above, but not enough to keep us awake or be a true bother. We stayed here when we did whitewater rafting and horseback riding, and it was a perfect location! If we go to Gardiner again, I’d book here!

Fantastic!

This property is spacious, has all the amenities you'll need (towels, kitchen supplies, extra pillows and blankets, etc.), the kitchen is large and most importantly, it is SUPER CLEAN! We had written down the wrong address and called Jayme (10:30 p.m.).... she was very gracious and got us to where we needed to be! We had a great time in Yellowstone! We will definitely stay here again and recommend it to friends and family! :)

Loved our stay at this cozy unit. The place was sparkling clean, it’s walkable from most of the restaurants and adventure rentals. Jamey and jarrett have taken care of every small detail to make our stay comfortable. They have well stocked kitchen, bathroom, laundry room and even games! Highly recommend the place. Additional perk was the proximity to wonder cafe which is 2 mins walk from the place. Must try specially if you are vegan or vegetarian.
