Mountain View House Right on Soda Butte Creek

Come enjoy our little piece of paradise, about two miles outside the NE gate of Yellowstone and nestled between the idyllic mountain towns of Cooke City and Silver Gate, Montana. The front of the property offers great opportunities for spotting bighorn sheep and mountain goats on Mount Republic, and the back runs into the cool trout waters of Soda Butte Creek. Our mountain home is a perfect escape from the crowds, while also serving as a convenient base camp for animal watching, fishing nearby blue ribbon waters, hiking, horseback riding and much more.

The house features 3 bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms:
- Ground floor master bedroom with en suite bathroom (king bed)
- Second floor bunk room (two bunk beds; four twin beds total)
- Second floor bedroom (queen bed)
- Comfortable memory-foam full mattress in the living room pullout couch

We live in an apartment above the detached garage, so we will be near enough to answer any questions and offer assistance whenever you need it, but far enough away to respect your privacy. We have managed vacation rental cabins on the Bighorn River in southeastern Montana for over a decade, and bought this property and renovated the main house in 2017.
The vacation home is heated and features a kitchen, 2.5 bathrooms, and a patio, and there's space to spread out with 3 bedrooms. Guests can expect to find free WiFi and a TV with a DVD player. Other standard amenities include a fireplace, a sofa bed, and a coffee maker. Change of towels is available on request.

This was the best vacation our family has ever had -starting with the house and host. The house is everything it appears in the photos and more. It is spacious, comfortable and charming inside and outside it is situated between two beautiful mountain ranges and beside a beautiful creek with a perfect deck. Beyond that, the host gave such great suggestions for guides in the local area, which includes a neighbor that has horseback riding out to a fly fishing site in the park and great wildlife sighting. The northeast entrance is the best with Lamar Valley on one side and the beautiful Beartooth Pass on the right. Check-in, checkout, and everything in between perfect. Comfortable beds, towels and kitchen supplies galore.

Awesome

The location is magical. The Silver Gate / Cooke City valley is just a special place, must be experienced to appreciate. The house is on the Soda Butte, which is a quintessential small Montana trout stream. The deck is a couple of feet from the stream and is great. We fished, and caught fish, right in front of the house all week. The pictures in VRBO are spot on, we saw Bison, Moose, and deer in the yard over the week. The Park is a couple of minutes away. And for us, the Lamar Valley and the three rivers, Lamar, Slough, and Soda Butte make this our favorite part of the Park. The house is very large and comfortable, in the Montana lodge style. The master bedroom is super. Anna and Joda, and their boys were great. Very helpful. Had great advice about how to enjoy the area. The hike to the Woody Creek Falls was amazing. Any little issues were dealt with very efficiently. We can not recommend the Mountain View House highly enough. Particularly if you have younger folks in the party, The Mountain View House is perfect, and you will be glad you stayed there - I know we are, and we'll be back.

Moose Meadow Magic

Nestled between two mountains, Republic and Mineral, along the bank of the Soda Butte Creek, this is a refuge worthy of the commute into the park, if that’s where you’re headed, or if you are just escaping to the area around Cooke City and Silver Gate. Yes, you can stay with the crowds in West Yellowstone or Gardiner and have easier access, although that depends on road construction and tourist traffic. Or, you can commute across the Lamar Valley and decompress from the traffic as you put your car in park because of a bison jam and watch the prong horn, bison, and perhaps some wolves up in the tree line as evening falls upon the American Serengeti. Staying at Moose Meadow was an experience that will never fade into memory. As we sat in the great room we watched bison, elk, and squirrels. Morning coffee was punctuated by visits from a black bear in the meadow and a red fox scampering across the wooden walkway. The cabin is comfortable and the hosts are friends you haven’t yet met — maintaining the perfect balance between privacy and being accessible to provide advice and assistance when needed. It was the perfect spot to visit the park and surrounding area and comes with your own little pocket of trout water if you are searching for tight lines. This retreat is the perfect blend of being away from it all while providing access to the northern gate of Yellowstone and the surrounding area.

The best

One of our best vacations! We had postponed this trip for two years running because of the pandemic, but it was well worth the wait. We enjoyed getting to know Anna and her family during our stay; they were caring and responsive hosts. The property is magical, with the Soda Butte on one side and 'moose meadow' on the other; private, yet only 5 minutes to town. We visited just after the floods, but were still able to hike into Yellowstone and there is also plenty to do and see in the Silver Gate / Cooke City area. We are already planning our return visit.

Beautiful house in an amazing location

Can't say enough about this beautiful house with property on a pristine trout stream and it's gracious owners. The house is spacious, clean, and nicely updated. The surrounding property has a deck overlooking the stream on which we enjoyed our morning coffee and meals. A short walk through the woods takes us to the firepit and "beach" on the stream that we used to relax, fish, and cool off in the water. It's a 5 minute drive to Yellowstone or historic Cooke City. An unforgettable family vacation!

One of our top Vacations!

My wife and I and our 7 kids stayed at this amazing cabin for 5 nights. We couldn't have found a better cabin for our needs. There was plenty of room in the cabin for all 9 of us. We were isolated from the touristy traffic. We had a beautiful stream and scenery from every vantage point and saw abundant wildlife from the cabin without having to even enter Yellowstone. (We saw moose, deer, buffalo, and otters from the cabin). As we prefer to stay away from crowds, staying near the northeast entrance of Yellowstone was ideal for us. It's not only less crowded, but prettier and more abundant wildlife. It made for a long trek to hit the more popular Yellowstone landmarks, but it was worth it to not be caught up in the crowds on a daily basis. The owners of the cabin are a wonderful family that were very helpful and accommodating. It was a delight to talk with them occasionally. We typically don't go back to the same places for vacations as there are so many places to see. But our entire family agreed that we'd love to come back to this cabin some day!

Perfect Location, Cozy Cabin & Stunning Views

Our trip was originally planned for June 2020 but we were able to reschedule for June 2021. Communicating with Anna was always easy and she responded promptly to all my questions. Anna and her family were extremely friendly and gracious hosts, providing a detailed video prior to our arrival so we could be prepared and some great suggestions for fishing and hiking. My husband caught several cutthroat trout in the creek right behind the cabin. The property is beautiful with views of the mountains from all sides and the Soda Butte Creek in the backyard. We spent every afternoon and evening on the spacious deck enjoying the scenery. We saw moose early in the morning and a Blacktail deer walked right up to us while sitting on the deck! The cabin is just a short drive to the Northeast entrance of Yellowstone but secluded enough to offer a peaceful retreat after a long day in the park. We had 5 adults and 2 children and the cabin offered plenty of space. The master bedroom has gorgeous views of the creek and mountains - the best view to wake up to each morning! The living room had plenty of windows to offer beautiful views of another mountain and it was a great space for gathering. We especially loved the DVD selection! The kitchen was well equipped with everything we needed to make meals and we really appreciated Anna's suggestion to stock up on groceries before getting to Silver Gate. The local general stores were great to pick up a few things we forgot but there was not a huge selection for groceries. Our week at Moose Meadow was absolutely perfect and we will definitely be planning another trip soon!

Loved this cabin! Back in time with modern conveniences

All nine of us loved this property, from my eight-year-old niece to my 74-year-old father-in-law. It is a beautiful place with a very sweet family on property and super convenient access to the north east entrance of Yellowstone. Our family loved the easy access to Lamar valley and all the animals and fishing. For me it was like going back in time with modern day conveniences. The cabin has a lot of charm and is true to it’s rustic environment. If Yellowstone is in our future again we will definitely try to book this house again. My only advice for future renters is to not plan oven meals for large families because it is small. However using the grill and the stove top for our meals worked great.
