Base Camp to Yellowstone and the Beartooth Pass

The Wildflower is a luxurious cabin almost three miles outside of Cooke City on Colter Pass. This location provides the perfect jumping off point for outdoor adventures in the Beartooths and Yellowstone National Park. The cabin sits at just over 8000 feet elevation so we're right up in some of the most beautiful alpine terrain in the lower 48. For skiers and snowmobilers this means lightning quick access to the Lulu Pass trails and a massive range of peaks to explore. We're also just a ten minute drive to the Yellowstone entrance so you can be in the Lamar Valley in the blink of an eye. This stretch of road is not maintained in the wintertime, so winter guests snowmobile in from Cooke City or from the Pilot Creek parking area in Wyoming. The road becomes a groomed snowmobile trail during this time so it's an easy ride in. Adventurous guests who don't have snowmobiles can rent them in Cooke City.
We also have a tracked SUV to bring in people and gear when snowmobiles aren’t convenient.
The cabin itself is a log home that has been extensively remodeled and updated with all the modern conveniences including WiFi and smart TV's in the bedrooms and living spaces. It's divided into two separate living areas with a King Suite on one end with its own kitchenette, and a queen room that is connected to, and above the living room and kitchen area. Downstairs is a rec room with bunk beds and another bedroom with two twin beds. For larger groups there is even a new sofa bed in the main living room and two roll-away beds that bring the total sleeping capacity up to 12. There are also three full bathrooms with showers and a large and well appointed kitchen for preparing meals. The expansive decks are perfect for storing gear or soaking in the hot tub after a long day in the wilderness.
Another nice perk to this property Is that the owner lives in a separate cabin on-site, so he's always available to help with any questions you might have during your stay. Whether you're here to enjoy the world-class backcountry skiing and snowmobiling, or to check out the abundance of wildlife in Yellowstone park, this cabin is the perfect accommodation to ensure that your trip is a memorable one.
Guests can enjoy a Smart TV and stay connected with free WiFi. Other standard amenities include a kitchen, a washing machine, and 3 bathrooms.

Beartooth Cabin
Lovely cabin, newly renovated with three(!) full bathrooms (unheard of in this area.) Hiking trail out the back and great access to fishing and Yellowstone. Anthony, the property owner lives in the adjacent cabin and was very helpful with advice on trail access and conditions.

Wildflower Adventures
The Wildflower was the perfect home base for our Yellowstone adventures. The property was excellent for our Minnesota group of 4 adults and 5 kids. The on-site hosts were welcoming and extremely knowledgeable and helpful. Being only 10 mins from the North East entrance to YNP gave us quick access to Lamar Valley where we saw grizzly bear, black bear, wolf pack, countless bison, and more wildlife then any other place in the park. Important note if coming in on Beartooth pass from the east, Red Lodge is last large town after Billings to stock up on anything you may need. There are some general stores in Cooke City. We knew this ahead of time and worked perfectly to get groceries in Red Lodge. High powered zoom lens camera or spotting scope will enhance wildlife experiences. We hope to be back again someday!

Great stay!
This property has been lovingly and tastefully updated and was very clean. The showers had great water pressure!There are several separate sleeping areas, so it some level of privacy for our group of friends. We enjoyed sitting around the kitchen bar eating breakfast and later in the day reviewing all we had seen. Our host was very kind, friendly and generous. On our last evening, a beautiful, gray-colored, red fox was sitting in the driveway to greet us. It was a perfect way to end the trip. If you can, don't miss the drive to Red Lodge on the Beartooth Hwy.

We loved the cabin! It had all the amenities we needed. It was really clean and comfortable and offered plenty of space for our group. It was also centrally located for all the activities we had planned. We enjoyed visiting with the on-site property owner who was very accommodating. We will definitely rent again!
