Yellowstone Bar B Bunkhouse offers the best of all worlds. It is easily accessible by car yet distanced from highway 89 enough to be completely quiet and serene. It is a peaceful setting with beautiful views of breathtaking mountains and a beautiful native cutthroat trout stream running right through your backyard. Bordering the property to the north and south are wide open grassy pastures which are home to our cow herd whose lineage goes back on this place over a hundred years. You may often see a horse frequent by in the summer. The property has walking or horseback access to the Gallatin National Forest (located only a quarter mile to the east of the house) and the 900,000 acre Absaroka Beartooth Wilderness. This Wilderness abuts the 2.2 million acre Yellowstone National Park. It is a huge expanse of wild land. A quarter mile to the west is the free flowing Yellowstone River. Yellowstone National Park is an extremely scenic ten minute drive away.
The home is spacious and comfortable. It is a 4 bedroom 3 bath home. There is also the Yellowstone Cabin available for your use (May 15 - hard frost (late Sept). It is a one room cabin with a double bed and a half bath. It is originally a cabin from Yellowstone and aside from adding the bathroom, it has been left in its original condition. You pay no extra for it and are free to use it if you wish. It is rustic, but really cute. Guests last summer loved it. The property has a beautiful grass lawn with flower beds and bordered by native vegetation and shade trees. There are two decks. The front deck gets the morning sun and is a spectacular setting to enjoy your morning coffee. The back deck is always shaded by beautiful, large cottonwood trees and overlooks Cedar Creek. There is a one car attached garage for your use.
Wildlife frequents the area often. You may see elk, deer, mountain sheep, coyotes, wolves, raccoons and the ever present entertaining squirrels on the deck. It is a birdwatchers heaven from chickadees and sparrows to eagles, cranes and herons. If you are a winter guest, you may also see buffalo from your living room window.
There are endless activities in the greater Yellowstone area. You could spend a lifetime here and not see and experience all it has to offer. Yellowstone National Park offers gorgeous scenery, geysers, bubbling mud, hot springs, wildlife viewing, hiking, fishing, horseback riding, western cookouts, stagecoach rides, boating, guided fish boats on Lake Yellowstone, and many educational opportunities. Boiling Hot Springs, located between Gardiner and Mammoth,is a hot springs where soaking is permitted. It is a unique experience and definitely worth exploring.
The Greater Yellowstone area offers spectacular whitewater rafting, fishing, guided river trips, horseback riding, camping, park tours, souvenir gift shops, restaurants, bar and grills, swimming, biking, hunting and hiking. Bozeman’s Gallatin Field is located 70 miles away.
There is plenty to do right from your Bar B door as well. Two miles east of the house is the historic OTO dude ranch, Montana’s first dude ranch. This is a beautiful, fairly easy hike up a gravel road to the remnants of the dude ranch. The lodge and cabins have been restored to their original condition and you are free to walk around and in them or picnic on the deck.
Cedar Creek, which runs behind the house is closed to fishing as it is a native spawning stream for Yellowstone Cutthroat Trout. We are, however, only a quarter mile from the Yellowstone River which offers spectacular fishing with plenty of access through fishing accesses and high water lines. The spawning cutthroat in Cedar Creek can be seen from the bridge behind the house during July. There are also rainbow and brown trout in the creek.
This is a super location for hunters to base from as well as a comfortable place to come home to after a long day of hunting. There is hunting within walking distance from the house. There is ample Forest Service land in the area for big game hunting during the archery season or general season. We often hear elk bugling at night from our bedroom windows.

I’d highly recommend the BarB Bunkhouse. The house was roomy, clean and worked perfectly for our family vacation. The beds were comfortable, wifi was strong and did I mention, it was clean? The host was welcoming and responsive. If you're looking for a great place near Yellowstone, book this place!

Really great location
This was a great VRBO. The only sad thing is that the bed situation is inaccurate. It stated that bedroom 5 has 2 sets of twin bunks. There is only a full bunk for 2 people (we have 3 boys!). It also is not in a room, but an open area which made changing and privacy an issue for the boys. The Cabin is cute and great for an older teen or young adult only. The owner's family live in the cabin nextdoor. Not an issue except their little grand-daughter had no manners and kept trying to coax our dog to her and she also insisted on standing and stairing and watching us. I had asked the little girl to kindly leave us and give us privacy but she refused. So I closed the wood panel swing door between the cabin and owner's home and it helped. Otherwise, this is a sweet place. Very Cozy, easy to get comfy and we loved it.

Family Reunion
This property was a perfect place and location for us to attend a family reunion down the road at the Yellowstone River Ranch. It had plenty of room for our 7 adults and 3 kiddos; 2 1/2 years and under. Kitchen was well stocked, the beds were cozy and the pack-n-play and high chair were so convenient to use! The decor is something to look at and study as you learn about Yellowstone Park and just appreciate the numerous park/cowboy themed items. Wendy is a wonderful hostess and will make your stay the best it can be!

Wonderful Oasis with privacy!
We absolutely loved the place. It was decorated with a homey/cozy feel that make you feel right at home. Our family of 10 ranged in ages from 5 to 60 and everyone had plenty of room. We cooked multiple meals and were so happy to have a crock pot and other items readily available. The hand sewn pot holders were adorable. We had a mini photo shoot in the front and back yard. 10/10 would stay here again!

Great Western getaway
We were a three generation family from all parts of the country. This property was perfect for us. Eleven total with a few more coming for meals. Backyard with stream, 2 picnic tables, and fire pit was perfect. Front yard worked for soccer and gymnastic practice. Kitchen was well appointed for a large group and all bedrooms, baths, etc worked great for the extended family Only grandson got the cabin and loved it! Everyone loved the western decor. Highly recommend this property. It is an easy drive into Gardiner and Yellowstone Park.

Peaceful Creekside Retreat
This home is spacious and located in a rural area with the peaceful sound of a creek in the backyard. I loved sitting and reading on the cozy firepit area as the creek flowed nearby! I liked the abundance of hot water as we had 5 adults traveling, using all 3 bathrooms. The binoculars provided were a nice added touch as well. There were some minor inconveniences in the kitchen, but the host was quick to tend to them. I loved her friendliness and speedy response to our needs. She commented that someone else had cleaned in her place. I think the issues we had would have been avoided if she had been able to clean; however, I cannot give it 5 stars for cleanliness as I must base my review on my experience.

Perfect family mountain getaway
We absolutely loved our stay here! Perfect location - close to Gardiner and Yellowstone but quiet and private. The cabin was spacious, had everything we could possibly need and had the best decor. The cabin has so much personality! The creek and deck in the back provided a tranquil setting to relax after a long day in the park and we loved how the fire pit was right next to it. The cabin was easy to find and Wendy was quick to respond to messages. Highly recommend - we will for sure be back!

Familys first trip to Yellowstone
This was the perfect location for entrance into Yellowstone and the fun trip to Gardiner for shopping... although there are other homes very close, even on the porch, you feel secluded. This was the most stocked and homey comfy VRBO I have ever stayed in. My husband has informed me... we WILL BE BACK. We put shedding clothes on our dogs to help with hair and vacuumed before we left. The hosts left a huge amazing 3 ring binder that we referred to often for various things to see and do and places to eat. It was myself, my husband, our teen son, my mom, my sister, and her husband... along with our 2 small dogs and we had so much room. I would give this more stars if i could.

Late but lucky
After our reservation (with a famous website that rhymes with cooking) got screwed up, we were frantically looking for a place for 8 people that was close to the park entrance. As things turned out, it was fortuitous for us as this turned out to be the perfect place! Lots of room, cozy, comfortable, with all amenities provided just as advertised. Beautiful views, beautiful stream right in the backyard and all just 10 min drive from the park entrance. The house is filled with cute furnishings perfect with it's theme. Wendy was always reachable, very helpful and accommodating. Had a wonderful vacation with family from all over US and overseas. Recommend highly especially for bigger groups

We last minute (literally a week before) booked tickets to visit Yellowstone! Not only was the park amazing but we loved hanging out at our VRBO stay!
