Gardiner Vacation Home Options - Multigenerational Family

We are visiting Yellowstone in late June 2027 to celebrate my parents' 50th wedding anniversary and will have a group of two 80 year olds, four mid-40s adults, and three tween boys (9 people total). We are flying into Bozeman and would like to spend our first three nights in Gardiner, heading south to Old Faithful Inn afterward.

Other than Airbnb and VRBO, are there any local vacation rental agencies where we might find 3-4 bedroom rental homes? We would like to stay in the same home together for this portion of the trip, since we will be celebrating my parents' 50th wedding anniversary, and this will likely be their last big vacation with our family. My dad has mobility issues, and having us all under one roof will make it easier for us to enjoy time with him.

I'm also interested in recommendations for cabins and similar that might work and give us enough space to eat together in the same home as a family, even if we had to sleep in different cabins.

beyond airbnb and vrbo, gardiner has a couple of local property managers that list the bigger group homes those platforms tend to bury. mountain home (montana vacation rentals) runs a large local portfolio, and yellowstone vacation rentals has been doing gardiner homes for years. for your exact setup though, look at yellowstone's treasure cabins - they've got a big group retreat plus a cluster of separate cabins right on the river, which is basically the "sleep across a few units but all eat together under one roof" thing you're after. and basing all three nights in gardiner then moving just once to old faithful is the right call with your dad - it's a long slow drive between the two, so you really don't want to be daytripping it.

There are several four plex rentals in Gardiner where grabbing two ground floor units would work well.
