Ron made many helpful comments. In addition, there are cabins available
at Mammoth and at Roosevelt, both inside the Park on the north end. Both
of these areas are much quieter than the Old Faithful area. There are
also cabins available in the Silver Gate and Cooke City area just outside
the northeast entrance to the park. The cabins at Roosevelt are pretty
rustic, but Roosevelt gets much less traffic than any other area of the
park offering accommodations. You can check with Xanterra, the park
concessionaire, and see if any are available when you will be there. You
can hike to fish in many areas inside the park - Trout Lake on the north
end, the trail to Lone Star Geyser offers some brookie fishing, 7 mile
hole trail in the Canyon area, and many many more. Water may be pretty
high everywhere in the area in June and there will still be snow at higher
elevations - run off peak is normally mid June or so. There are several
books that are published on fishing in the park and some on the
Yellowstone River. Check out the Yellowstone Association web site - it
has several available. You can also search Amazon.com under "Yellowstone"
and it will turn up many. Finally, there are some fly fishing shops in
West Yellowstone that have decent web pages that post fishing report.
Just do a web search under "Yellowstone Fishing Reports" and it should
kick up a few.

Unless they have changed there are two kinds of cabins in YNP. The delux

There are way more than two types of cabins in Yellowstone.  Some are
motel-style units while others are older western style cabins.
There's cabins with or without their own bathrooms; it's not that bad
without since there are community bathrooms and showers.  The
Yellowstone Canyon area itself has three levels of cabins (all have
their own bathrooms) built in the 1950s.  All the cabins there are
attached groups of 4+ units.  At Old Faithful I stayed in a detached
budget cabin without bathroom (there was a sink).  The Roughrider
Cabin I stayed at Roosevelt was heated by a stove using supplied
pressed-sawdust logs.  The room smelled like smoke in the morning.

And for anyone doing a search, it's spelled Gardiner, Montana.

You both are right.  There are two basic type of 'stand alone" cabins -
with or without bath - variations are found at Mammoth (some are
duplexes), Roosevelt, Lake Hotel and maybe still a few at Old Faithful.
  I can't remember if the ones at Lake Lodge are stand alone.  There are
also accommodations at Old Faithful and Canyon (and maybe Lake Lodge)
called cabins by the concessionaire that are more like small motel units
with 2 to 4 or more units in a building. And then there's the condos at
Grant and the hotels at Mammoth, Lake and Old Faithful Inn, Old Faithful
Lodge and Old Faithful Snow Lodge.  Even in the hotels, many of the
rooms do not have in room bathrooms.  Very few rooms anywhere in the
park offer TV or phones in the rooms, although some of the bars have TVs
and there are public phones available.

        As an aside, the history of the older cabins is pretty interesting.
Many of them have been moved around the park over the years as older
accommodations were shut down or relocated.

Some said maybe Roosevelt Lodge and their rustic cabins. I don't know
if they're available, but I enjoyed one of those cabins for one
night. I was talking to a Xanterra employee there who was in charge
of the concessionaire's local warehouse, and whose wife was group
lodging director at Roosevelt. He relayed that they had a lot of
people complaining that the accommodations were substandard - not
knowing beforehand what "rustic cabin" meant.

I also had dinner at the Roosevelt Old West Cookout, complete with a
horse-drawn wagon ride to the dining site. They also have options to
arrive by guided horseback rides, although that part was canceled for
our dinner.

Some of the cabins at Roosevelt are the most "rustic" in the park - bed,
