The Slough Cabin - A Wolf Crossing Cabin next to Yellowstone

Wolf Crossing is a small 1 bedroom cabin in Silver Gate approximately 3000' from the Northeast Entrance to Yellowstone and approximately 3 miles from Cooke City on Highway 212 (National Park Road and the Beartooth Highway). A basic cabin old cabin with a wolf theme. It has a bath with a shower, a queen -size bed, a small refrigerator, a microwave, a toaster oven and a coffee maker. There is small front porch. WE HAVE JUST ADDED SATELLITE TELEVISION WITH 150 CHANNELS AS WELL AS WIRELESS INTERNET FOR YOUR LAPTOP via Starlink. The photo of the interior is a bit old and shows a futon instead of the queen size bed that is there. There is also a door where the small rear window used to be.

There is a general store in town within walking distance as well as the Log Cabin Restaurant and the Sun Dog store. A mountaineering store is also within walking distance. Soda Butte Creek is located across the road approximately 600' away. In addition to Yellowstone National Park, we are surrounded by the Absaroka Wilderness as well as the Gallatin National Forest. Great hunting, fishing, hiking, cross country skiing, snowmobiling, kayaking and wildlife viewing abounds. This small cabin makes a quiet and unique base-camp for a world of outdoor activities. Please note that it is an old hand built cabin. We have pine martens and foxes around constantly eating mice. I blame their laxness if any should appear.

Keywords: Cabin
The cabin is heated and features a patio and space to spread out with a separate bedroom. Guests can enjoy a TV and stay connected with free WiFi. Other standard amenities include a microwave, a refrigerator, and a coffee maker.

The only thing that kept me from giving all of it a five-star was the name of the cabin door. I was looking for Druids and found Slough. After a 5-minute debate we decided it was the right cabin because of the description of the vertical outside Timbers.

The cabin identification was inaccurate. The description was correct, but the name was wrong. It also failed to mention that it was connected to another cabin which took away the privacy because you could hear everything going on in the other cabin. (See photo below)

The photos shown for the wolf cabin on the Vrbo sight are not of the same cabin. Under the amenities it says the cabin had a stove… no stove anywhere. When I inquired, the owner told us that he could have a hot plate brought over (looked like it was a fire hazard) also even if we were to use it there was no pan! The owner said that because of a lack of ventilation a stove could not be used, so that is why there isn’t one??? Also the way this cabin is put together especially the wiring, is not up to code in our opinion and appears to be a fire hazard. One good thing is that the wifi worked well. Sarah, one of the house cleaners stopped by late to check on us ( she needs a raise!), she agreed that the photos did not look like the same cabin and suggested for us to move to the cabin behind (wapiti), so we did and it was very clean and nice. Glenn the owner seemed to believe that we thought we rented the wapiti cabin and the answer to that was is no, we were expecting the cabin in the photos!

Never Again

Worst rental experience ever. The property is poorly marked and very difficult to find. Parking was horrendous. The cabin was dirty, lighting was inadequate, the microwave barely worked, and the check-in was essentially non-existent. I am dependent on a CPAP, and the power went out while I was asleep and again in the evening of the same day. No power and no water made any further stay untenable. I left early, and got a seemingly automatic denial of partial refund. Will be sharing this with everyone I can.

Trash

Pictures are worth a 1000 words.. unfortunately I did not take any of our stay. The pictures online are definitely a far cry from what you are actually getting. We arrived after 10 pm which I do not suggest arriving after dark. The cabin ( I use that word loosely) was nothing more than someone’s shed that was makeshift in to lodging. The whole “cabin” rocked and swayed as you moved around. The only room you had was a path around the bed to move about. Foam spray in the walls is the only thing that kept the inside from the outside. Bathroom shower flooded the floor and the one towel we had to use to clean up. Water damage around the outlet of the bathroom wall so would not advise to plug anything in unless you wanted to become electrified. Felt like we were being eaten alive while we slept so that was a no go. Someone parked in front of our cabin so when we arrived we parked behind them since there was no where else to park. Was woke up at 6 am with them beating on the door asking us to move our vehicle. They were in the cabin behind us. Not sure why they parked at our cabin.. This cabin was rented for two nights but we left after the first one and found other lodging. Other cabins around had old junk In their yards ( old stoves, refrigerators, etc). I can’t believe that this place is allowed to be considered as lodging. Would not recommend staying here.

Close lodging to Yellowstone NE entrance

We had a hard time locating our cabin when we arrived. The cabin we were in was wolfs crossing but it also had "the slough" on the cabin. Parking was horrible. It would be a great benefit to have marked parking slots for each cabin and then an extra vehicle parking area for those bringing more than one car. The bathroom was very tiny. The bed had springs that made noises whenever you sat on it. The listing said there was a stove top, there was not. And the small cabins are added on to a larger unit with a normal interior door separating them. This made it very noisy if your neighbors happened to be loud, or liked to sing.Everything else was fine. Overall this was an okay place to stay if you want a rustic experience with running water and power. There was a Yellowstone book in the cabin for guests to look through. There were chairs to use during your stay. There was also a phone in the room and decent wifi. We had been told before arriving that there was no cell coverage, which was accurate. Having wifi was a great convenience so we could plan our day and download directions and maps before heading out for the day. Overall our stay was okay. Location and wifi were the highlights.

Immaculate old log cabin, not big enough for a family but two fit very comfortably. Cozy, warm and private. Well stocked and appointed with microwave, coffee pot, tv, heater, flush toilet, shower, refrigerator and wifi. We loved our stay here and the attendant explained the cabin was over 100 years old.

Good little cabin so close to north east entrance to Yellowstone

This is as advertised a rustic cabin close to the entrance to Yellowstone. Good bed and all you need. Our only deal is how close to the road it is, just a few feet. So our idea of chilling on the porch, which we did, was not what we expected. A stack of tires hampered the environment too. So good place, too close to noisy highway for us and a little effort on the surroundings would make it a much better stay.

Perfect!

Perfect little cabin for 1-2 people wanting to get away and relax. It is a little close to the road for my liking but its not too bad. Close to town and lots of beautiful scenery and hiking trails. The property manager John was very helpful and kind, going above and beyond to make your stay great. The locals are friendly. The Log Cabin Cafe food tastes great but its a coin toss as to whether they'll be open or not. Cooke city is only 3mi. away with a lot more modern conveniences, but I wasn't interested in that, lol. Ask around for Henry, he can tell you a lot about the area too. There's so much beauty to take pictures of and fresh air, and cute little squirrels and chipmunks too. So if you dont get a chance to spot any of the big animals there's still that. 😊 Over all, as far as I was concerned, it was perfect.

Celebrating our 50th Anniversary at Yellowstone!

Overall, we were pleased. It met our needs and is a little bigger and better appointed than the pics of the inside of the cabin shows. There is a table and 2 chairs, a hanging hutch with dishes, and a repurposed desk to use as a food preparation station. There are coat pegs, wide window ledges, and shelves atop the bed posts that provide storage. We brought 2 TV trays and hanging shoe storage bag that were helpful. The TV trays made a luggage stand and a place to use the electric skillet we brought. (I'm glad I did because although a toaster oven was listed in the amenities, there isn't one. Also, TV useless.) The place is clean, the bed was comfortable, and it was quiet. Careful - Hot water in the shower can be a geyser. Check-in was nightmare. The email we received before traveling from VRBO said they did not have any instructions, to contact the property manager. We did not make a screen shot of the property info, so were lost upon arrival. No cell service or internet!! Laurie at SG Motel saved us by sharing WiFi. Found info, but Prop Mngr wouldn't answer. Went to address but did not look like pics enough to risk trying the door. Back to SG Motel, finally resolved with VRBO and the owner. (Owner was very nice.) But it took 2 hours. Cabin is beside a shabby shed, near other cabins, and has a table on the porch and name plaque near the door. We bear some blame for not trying the door (which was unlocked). The outside area of the cabin was unappealing.

Perfect location!

This little cabin was in an ideal location for visiting Yellowstone and seeing lots of wildlife. If you plan to have meals, keep them very simple as there is only a microwave for cooking, and the stores nearby have limited stock and are very expensive. If you just need a place to sleep it is a wonderful and less expensive alternative to staying at the park lodges or hotels at the busier locations (west and north gates).
