Stayed at this property for 3 nights while visiting Yellowstone NP. The place has everything that you need after hicking; great shower, comfortable bed, close to local restaurants and stores. I would highly recommend this place if you visiting Yellowstone as it is very close to the north entrance.
Clean, cozy, great location for both yellowstone and downtown area. Eric was a great host, very helpful and friendly. Would highly recommend the bears den.
We had a wonderful stay at the Bear Ben. It was a perfect place to relax after a day in the park. The town of Gardiner was small and charming with everything you could need. Thanks for having us.
The Bear Den was perfect for our trip to Yellowstone. Small but cozy. It was so close to the park making it easy to get an early start but not a long drive back. Would definatly recommend it.
Thank you Eric!
Enjoyed our stay very much! Loved being so close to Yellowstone entrance but still peaceful. Our host was very attentive and friendly. He works in Yellowstone and had good tips. The Bear Den was even furnished with a backpack and walking sticks. Nice price, too!
Quaint efficiency with everything you need! Easy access to the North entrance of Yellowstone! Had 2 deer in the yard across the street on our last night! That made my stay even better!
The Bear Den worked out great for us. We were looking for a small, clean and efficient place while we were visiting Yellowstone. It was all of those things and cozy! Our host Eric was fantastic and offered us great information about the Park. We would definitely stay again and will be telling our friends about it too!

This was a great place. Super cute and cozy. Had everything we needed. Just a short walk or drive to Yellowstone entrance. Eric was super responsive and fun to talk to. We would happily stay again.
This studio apartment is perfect for solo travelers or couples traveling to Yellowstone. It isn't huge, but if you spend your days in the park, all you need is a nice, clean, quiet place to lay your head at night. Why pay the price of the hotel rooms in the area?! Eric has a few extras included in the room like a pair of foldable camp chairs and a cooler-pack available, neither of which I would have thought to bring, but I was happy to make use of once I was there!
The Ben Den was just the right size for us with a kitchen full of necessities like a coffee machine with coffee, plates, silverware, ice, etc. An insulated backpack was provided for our drinks and snacks we bought for our time in the park. The bed was comfortable wtih an extra blanket and we were able to put our suitcases in the closet and little hallway to the other unit. Yes it is small, but it still gave us plenty of room to move around. The location is great, near many local restaurants and the North Gate of Yellowstone. Eric is a great host who is a wonderful communicator. We will definitely stay here again.
This was a very well kept and maintained accommodation. It's small as described but not so small as to no only accommodate myself, who is a larger person, but another person as well. The shower was not large, but again it was suitable for our needs. The owner greeted us and was attentive and helpful with any needs we had. If you're intent is to have a place to rest and clean up between adventures in the park or surrounding area then this is your place. Btw on our first morning waking up there stood an elk outside grazing.
Very clean, friendly owner, great location to entrance of Yellowstone National Park.
Very small studio room and shower. Personally would remove big chair and have another place to put luggage instead. Difficult to get into bed
from big chair/ottoman being in the way.
Surprised by how small the town is in light of being at main entrance to park. Best restaurant in town is Wonderland Cafe. Farm to table idea.
Unit was everything we needed for our visit to Yellowstone. Conveniently located, clean, reasonably priced. A little small, but we were only in the unit to sleep, so it was perfect.
The Bear Den was the perfect apartment for me and my wife during our week exploring Yellowstone. The studio was immaculate, comfortable and quiet. I really enjoyed my interactions with our host Eric who, in addition to quickly taking care of anything needed for our stay, kindly and enthusiastically shared his expert knowledge of the park. Thanks Eric for a fantastic stay! Next time we travel to Yellowstone we will definitely check to see if the Bear Den is available.
This is a great location for quick access to Yellowstone! It took us less than 10 minutes to get into the park each morning. The Den is cozy....perfect for a couple of nights near the park!
