“I’m in love with Montana. For other states I have admiration, respect, recognition, even some affection. But with Montana it is love. And it’s difficult to analyze love when you’re in it.”

B&B and guest cabins

We are a second generation Montana business and the heart of what we do here is rooted in the ground itself; it's a very special piece of the world.  Charissa's parents purchased the property in 1969 and it's been a retreat for our extended family ever since.  We are located on the banks of the Yellowstone River. The river forms the north boundary of Yellowstone National Park. The main attraction here is the stunning Electric Peak; the highest peak in the Gallatin Range. 

Antelope, elk, bison, bear and deer have wandered through our yard - much to the surprise of some of our guests!  Osprey and eagles frequent this stretch of river.  Wildflowers are in full bloom by mid-summer.  Our community garden is a favorite project and we are more than willing to teach city kids how to collect eggs from our resident chickens.  

World-class flyfishing is a few steps away and the beach is a great place to read, build castles (we provide the toys!) and enjoy the quiet solitude.  The campfire near the river has roasted marshmallows for many.  The manicured lawns are just asking for Frisbee, croquet and cartwheels.  Horseshoe pits and tetherball are perfect for those of you who just can't sit still! 

The nearest airport is BZN (Bozeman, MT).  We are 50 miles south of Livingston, Montana just off Highway 89 between mile markers 3 and 4. The north entrance of Yellowstone and the historic gateway community of Gardiner, Montana are three miles to the south. 

Our physical address is:  9 Olson Lane Gardiner, MT 59030
