Welcome to our historic 2,200 sq ft homestead, the second ever built in Gardiner in 1895! Crafted with hand quarried rock and a distinctive stick frame, our home boasts a castle-like turret that sets it apart. Fully remodeled in 2015, it seamlessly combines the charm of the old West with the comforts of modern living.
As you step into our abode, you'll find yourself surrounded by the tranquility of our front yard flower garden, a favorite haunt of local wildlife. To ensure your stay is seamless, we provide valuable information via email, including packing essentials, optimal times to witness the marvel of Old Faithful, scenic drives, recent animal sightings in the Lamar area, and recommendations for guided tours. For your convenience, we offer a spacious garage at the rear of the house, a rare find during Gardiner's bustling seasons.
Inside, our two-story home features three bedrooms and two full bathrooms. The main floor hosts the master bedroom with a plush king-size bed and a luxurious custom steam shower for unwinding after your day's adventures. Upstairs, two more bedrooms await, one with a queen-size bed and a day bed with trundle, and another with two cozy twin beds. Each bedroom is equipped with new window air conditioners for added comfort during warm spells, offering serene views of either Emigrant Peak or the picturesque backyard where elk and deer often roam.
Relish moments of relaxation on our front porch swing, soaking in panoramic views of Electric Peak and Yellowstone's rolling hills, where elk, deer, bison, antelope, and occasional bears or wolves may grace your sight. Our fenced backyard beckons with mature trees, blooming flowers, a barbecue grill, and a patio perfect for al fresco dining.
The heart of our home, the kitchen, is fully equipped with gourmet essentials like olive oil, vinegar, and spices, alongside modern appliances including a dishwasher, dual-oven range, microwave, blender, mixer, slow cooker, and coffee maker. A breakfast bar and round dining table offer cozy spots for meals and gatherings.
Entertainment options abound, from a 44” smart flat screen TV with wireless WIFI so you can log into your account and watch your favorite shows, and a treasure trove of books, games, and cards. For added convenience, we provide a washer and dryer with laundry detergent.
