Wapiti Cabin - a Wolf Crossing Cabin next to Yellowstone
Wolf Crossing - Wapati Cabin is large1 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).This area is as close to Alaska as you can get in the Lower 48 States. Due to the elevation (about 7400), the temperatures are similar, the wildlife viewing is as good or better. There are even permanent glaciers above us high in the Beartooth Mountains. The small town and residents remind me of the show, Northern Exposure. It is remote, wild and rustic here. Also, a host is on site for information or to hire for hiking/fishing/hunting help - or to cater your dinner. People who love wildlife and trout fishing (Clark’s Fork River and the numerous mountain lakes). This is the Park entrance nearest to the Lamar River Valley – and the Soda Butte Creek Valley – and the Beartooth Pass/Absaroka Wilderness area (outside the Park). We have had moose, deer, bear – black and grizzly in our yard. Wolves are often seen in the valley. (No, you don’t always see them. If you did, they would change the name to “Yellowstone Zoo”.) This is one of the premier areas of the world for wildlife viewing. The cabin has a shower, a queen -size bed, a full size refrigerator, a microwave, a full size oven/stove, large kitchen sink and a coffee maker. WE HAVE SATELLITE TELEVISION WITH 150 CHANNELS AS WELL AS WIRELESS INTERNET FOR YOUR LAPTOP and free 48 state calling - via Star Link! No reviews here yet but we have 2 adjacent places with excellent reviews.
There is a general store in town within walking distance as well as the Log Cabin Restaurant and the Stop the Car Store and the Silver Gate General Store. 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 cabin makes a quiet and unique base-camp for a world of outdoor activities. We have pine martens and foxes around constantly hunting. I blame their laxness if any mice should appear.
The cabin is heated and features a separate bedroom.

Beautiful decor. Lovely amenities inside everything you needed. Major drawback is that there is no parking. Ours was last unit and we had to ask the neighbor to keep moving his car in order for us to get in. It is in the woods and there’s not Really any other possibility to park. The neighbor was very annoyed with us.

Great place for the money
This cabin is nice and big and in a great location. It has everything you need and great service if you're missing anything. It also has several night lights which is a huge plus. Most rooms blind you if you get up in the middle of the night. Dimmer switches or night lights are essential. Biggest issue is that the baseboard heater thermostat seems to either be on or off. Just turn it until you hear it click on, then stop (way before the low setting). Manually turn it off when it gets warm. Makes it tough to keep at a comfortable temperature for sleeping. We also had mold in/on the ice cubes which was a first for us. Also had to kill about 8 spiders, but it is a cabin in the woods. Overall a great place for the money and location.
