This cabin is the perfect place to start and end your day. Super clean, very well equipped kitchen, a wonderful patio to enjoy coffee in the morning and a glass of wine at night.

The cabin was perfect for our family of five. Plenty of room for everyone and everything was provided. The view from the back porch was amazing and perfect for my morning coffee.

Property was very clean. Loved the proximity to Yellowstone. Saw elk and pronghorn everyday in the open fields next to the cabin. Highly recommend!

We enjoyed our stay. The cabin was clean and provided everything we needed plus more. We liked watching the pronghorn in the meadow in the morning. Very peaceful. The only thing I didn’t like was the rough gravel road from Gardiner to the cabin. But the cabin itself made up for it.

We had the best time staying at cabin #11. Wade made sure that everything we may need was there. There was thought put into it, not just a place to stay! We saw antelope as we sat on the back porch. Elk were all around. The cabin was immediately clean. The washer and dryer were so nice to have. I have zero complaints and hope to stay again one day! It’s not far from Yellowstone and yet still away from all the people of gardiner. It’s a quiet retreat!

The cabin was clean, comfortable, and the perfect amount of space for our family. We ate our meals on the covered patio each night. The view of Electric Peak was amazing. Thank you Wade! We hope to return someday!

This was a great location, just minutes to the Yellowstone north entrance. Owner was responsive and great to work with. The cabin is nicer than the pictures portray. We visited in July and every evening there was a large herd of elk right next to the cabin, so cool to see. If you like to fish bring your pole, great fishing a few steps away. Lots of room inside and out for our kids to play and relax after a long day in the park.
