The cabin was beautiful, and the added bonus was the abundance of elk that were seen around the property! We are already planning to rent this cabin for our future revisit to MT!

It was a nice, clean property but rarely were inside with the large deck and beautiful views! Elk were nearby every morning and night and fun to hear the baby elk calling their mothers.

Yellowstone retreat

Stayed here during our Yellowstone trip. Very nice cabin! Clean, comfortable and perfect location to base our trip from. Shawn was readily available for our questions. Woke up each morning watching elk graze around the valley and next to the cabin while enjoying coffee from the front porch. Perfect! The town of Gardiner was just 4 miles away for any shopping needed.

Beautiful and peaceful space

We loved staying here. It was so quiet and pieceful and not far from Yellowstone, where we spent our days. I'll never forget the first morning when we woke up to find the place surrounded by a heard of elk. We just opened all the curtains, made coffee, and sat and enjoyed the view as they picked their way past and had their own breakfast. It was a magical experience for my family. I hope we can come back another time.

Everything about this beautiful cabin is perfect. The location could not be better as is sits atop of a hill where you can see mountains out of every window. It is so close to the entrance to Yellowstone, Gardiner and not to far from Livingston. Everyday we saw the Elk herd from the balcony. It had everything you may need to make your stay comfortable from the bed, full kitchen, cozy blankets to the nice dining and living room furniture. The hosts were kind and welcoming. We are so grateful we stayed here.

This is the Best Cabin!

We totally loved our stay at the cabin! Close to Gardiner and the North Entrance – but just far enough away to really relax. We had visits from deer and elk daily, right outside the window. The front porch was a great space to enjoy the scenery, with views of both mountains and the river valley. The cabin was very nicely decorated with all the modern amenities. The kitchen was well stocked with all the kitchenware needed to prepare meals and lunches to take into the park. The cabin worked perfectly for 2 couples and a dog, and would be a great space for kids to explore. I whole-heartedly recommend this cabin!

The moment we arrived we felt welcomed and comfortable. The owner was readily available and provided all the information we needed. The home was perfect for the four of us. Beautiful views from every window in the home. We had everything we needed to make meals and enjoy evenings by the fire. Shawn has thought about every detail to make your stay comfortable and inviting. The star gazing was spectacular at night.The home is super convenient to the north entrance of Yellowstone. It allowed us to visit the park everyday. The town of Gardiner is also a nice little town to explore. We would definitely stay at Shawn’s again.
