Great place to stay when visiting Yellowstone
We spent a long weekend here to visit Yellowstone. It was myself, my wife, and my one year old daughter. The cabin was nice and just as described. It had plenty of room for us to relax after long days in the park. It was a short drive to Yellowstone, we were very glad we picked this cabin. Also, the kitchen had plenty of pots and pans for any cooking you would want to do which was a plus. I would highly recommend, and we’d gladly stay here again.

Quiet and secluded
Everything you need and more. Well furnished secluded cabin. We looked for an area we could go to after a long day in the mountains and this delivered. A bit musty smell on the front porch area but pretty comfortable and clean otherwise. I did take all of my own bedding from sheets to blankets and pillows...I was glad I did. Nothing like crawling into to my own bed. We enjoyed our stay and would definitely recommend to others. We so enjoyed seeing a bear right outside one morning too!

Don’t Pass Up On This Steal
As a mom who had 4 kids from 2-12 years old, we love to go glamping in the woods. This cozy cabin was the perfect combo getaway for anyone who likes their electricity and hot water showers but also wants to step into a more primal part of living. The electric oven was a PLUS! And Mark was a phenomenal host with communication. Highly recommend

Cute little cabin
This cabin was a welcome change after a few days of camping! It smelled a bit musty when we first walked in and I don't know if we just got used to it or if the air purifier and opening doors remedied it. My partner is tall (6'6") and had to duck under everything, so keep that in mind if someone in your party is tall. Overall we were very happy with the cabin and enjoyed our stay, and we really appreciated the cold waters in the fridge and laundry detergent already in the laundry room!

Nice place to stay
The cabin is cute and cozy. There were more neighbors than I anticipated and you should know beforehand that you have to conserve water or it will run out.
