Great location close to Yellowstone

Our group had a great stay at this house. The town of Gardiner is the perfect base for exploring Yellowstone! The home is perfect for large groups and kids enjoyed the trampoline, horses and dogs on site. We had daily visits of elk coming right in the yard which made for a very unique experience. Well stocked house with many extras, comfortable beds, reliable wi-fi, nice fire pit out back and grill. There is no air conditioning, but opening windows in evenings and fans helped to keepComfortable. The town of Gardiner had many nice restaurants, white water rafting trips, horseback riding, etc. Hosts very friendly and felt like home to us for a week!

Great location and property !

Owners are very friendly. Kids loved to play around the house. The house had still pending work to be done. Downstairs stairs and washer dryer area was not very clean. Few locks did not work. They should be providing with bathroom supplies like other rentals. Very close to YNP which we loved.

Close to Yellowstone Northwest Entrance with Lots of Space

Perfect for us! We enjoyed our stay. Roomy for our 3-generation family vacation. Access to the park and local grocery store was very convenient . The kids especially loved the cats and feeding the horses and fish. Some of our group took a couple hikes on the property and enjoyed the views. One evening we cooked hotdogs and s'mores around the firepit. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook. We all slept great after a long day in the park. My review has 4 stars instead of 5 because we couldn't open all the windows. Some had missing or torn screens. Too many bugs came in without the screens on the windows. We were there when the temps got pretty warm. If you are there in the cooler months, I'm sure this isn't a problem. Overall, we loved the house and property! We would stay at Little Trail Creek again. The owner, Shawn, answered my questions promptly and was very helpful. Thank you for helping us make lasting memories!

Great place for a family visiting Yellowstone!

Overall, we really loved this place. It's in a beautiful location and is the perfect house for a large family. There was plenty of room for all of us and our five kids loved the fish pond, seeing deer and elk in the yard every day, visiting the horses, and roasting marshmallows in the firepit. It's a really fun area to explore and the house was well-stocked. There was even bear spray in the cupboards. We brought our own, but it was nice to have extra. (We never had to use it.) I was a little nervous knowing that there would be other people staying on the same property as us, but I was happy to find the house still felt very private and we hardly saw anyone during our entire stay. A couple minor complaints we had: There's no cell service in this location (which we kind of expected), but the wifi is also verrrrry slow. It was difficult for more than one adult to do anything that used wifi. (Not that big of a deal since we were on vacation and mostly unplugged, just a small annoyance.) We had some issues operating the lights in the house as some are operated with a remote instead of a switch. There were binoculars and scopes for rent, I believe, but we have stayed at other places where those are available without a charge. The water dispenser and ice maker in the fridge don't work and it took us a long time to find ice trays (after we'd already purchased three bags of ice). There's no dishwasher and in a house this size, it really needs one. (Maybe this is mentioned in the listing. It's just never something we've had to worry about before and was a huge bummer. We decided to buy paper plates, etc. as there's no way we were going to spend our entire getaway hand-washing dishes for a family of eight.) Also, it's important to note that if you'll be visiting Yellowstone, this is an amazing location for that, but there will be quite a lot of driving involved. If we had stayed in Mammoth, we could have save ourselves 30-60 minutes of driving every day. But then you wouldn't have a place to stay with so much space and a full kitchen! So it is what it is, just know what you're getting yourself into. But! All in all, we really loved this place and would definitely consider staying again in the future.

Incredible property and owners

First off Shawn & Jim, the property owners were gracious hosts and ensured we were well taken care of. The property and house are incredible. We travel a lot and this is one if the top homes we have stayed in. They have EVERYTHING you could possibly need for a stay and vacation in the Yellowstone area. The house was spotless, very bug and even better than the photos show. The wildlife, horses, their dogs made it even more enjoyable. On the last night if our stay Shawn made us her famous ham and beans, elk bratwurst and corn bread, all cooked over an open fire!! So good! I can't recommend the property and Shawn and Jim enough! Thank you!!

Great location, lots of room!

We couldn't have picked better for our family of 8--no squabbling over who had to share beds and lots of space to spread out. Such a peaceful back porch from which to sip coffee and watch elk. AND just a stone's-throw from very cool things in Gardiner and the North entrance of Yellowstone itself. We drove as far as Old Faithful one day, but the rest of the time we stayed pretty close to home and still saw many of the amazing features of Yellowstone. We had a little flooding in the house, twice--a sudden hard rain and then maybe something with the water heater--but Shawn and family were very prompt and took care of it almost before we noticed. Excellent home, excellent location, VERY attentive ownership, great communication. We will definitely be back!

Close to Yellowstone and nicely maintained

We had a great time staying at this property. There was plenty of parking spaces and bed rooms for our group. The property was clean with plenty of seating in the living room. The only hitch was that the key was not in a pot on the table. It was inside on the counter. The "rules" could also have been spelled out better. We were a little confused on what was expected of us as to the linen and the towels. In other properties that I have stayed in it has been very clear what was expected. One sheet of clean the kitchen put towels in the washer etc would have solved this. All in all it is a great place with friendly staff.

Great Place for a group wanting peaceful, quiet, beautiful views and convenience.

All eight of us felt that this was the most fun and relaxing place we stayed on our trip through Yellowstone and Grand Teton NP. Although the house is not brand new it is very well maintained. The grounds around the house are what makes it so special. The outside firepit was a great place to wind down after a long day. The horses, and especially the two cats were enjoyed by all of us. They were friendly and obviously enjoyed being petted. The owners Shawn, and daughter Maggie are very friendly and helpful. Plus, the house is very conveniently located to West Yellowstone yet far enough out of town to become quiet and away from the crowds of other tourists. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and highly recommend it for peace and quiet and beautiful views.

Comfortable and relaxing house with AWESOME views

Words can not do justice to the beauty of Yellowstone. My family, which was 11 adults, stayed here comfortably. We found it close enough to Yellowstone that we could come and go any time we wanted, but yet the 4 miles away got us away from crowds. I recommended this place and hope to be back next summer too. Rent it now, cause you will truly have the vacation of a lifetime.

NOT WHAT ADVERTISED

House was unclean upon arrival. Laundry room had blankets, covers, and sheets all over floor. Dryer had clothes as well as washer. Had to sweep and clean out refrigerator. Advertised air conditioning and had none. Found 2 fans on property for 16 people. House was infested with mice. There is book at house stating to let cats in to take care of mice. Cat chewed up piece of luggage, as well as rug and pillow on property. Cats all over and climbing over cars; cat scratched my vehicle. Gas grill ran out of gas, I was charged for damage to pillow and rug which I should not have been charged. Also charged for rollaway bed damage which was broke when sat on. Kept my damage deposit; is she going to pay for my car damage. Need to read her amenities listed as there are several items listed that were not provided; air conditioning, telephone, hair dryer for example. Weeds are overgrown around fire pit, hammock, and chairs. Several broken outdoor chairs.

Glamping at its finest!!!

What a beautiful property. Outside of town away from all the hustle. It was nice to have our own space to hang out after being crowded at the other places we stayed. It was fun cooking outdoors and making coffee in the percolator on the pot bellied stove. Each morning we woke up to deer and elk in the yard. The horses were very friendly & enjoyed the carrots we fed them. There is a nice trail to hike right in the back yard that follows the creek.
