Fabulous setting close to Yellowstone, the log lodge is an architectural masterpiece in a beautiful and peaceful setting. Comfortable and extremely well equipped for a memorable family trip. It was hard to leave at the end of our stay.

Beautiful lodge!

We enjoyed staying in this lodge with our whole family of 14! The house had plenty of room, beautiful views and plenty of things for the kids to do both inside and out!! We loved staying here and that it was private and although off the beaten path, still close to things to do! This lodge has all the things though, so you don’t feel like you have to leave!

A bit out of the way, but a beautiful property. Able to see stars without tons of ambient light, and watched elk and deer from the living room!

Birthday trip

We planned our trip for my husband’s birthday. We have rented many homes on VRBO over the years. This was the most beautiful well maintained welcoming home we have ever stayed in. Watching the animals was so enjoyed by all of us. I can’t say enough how wonderful this home is. Thank you

Amazing experience

It was amazing. The cabin was awesome and had plenty of space for 8 people. Close to Yellowstone and Gardiner. And the view was great. Got to see and hear elk which was awesome. Also seen some mule deer and big horn sheep. Overall would stay here again. Loved everything about it

Peaceful getaway

This cabin is stunning! It is exactly what you think of when you think of a mountain lodge in Yellowstone. It is remote and peaceful. Drinking coffee in the living room looking out of the massive windows at the mountain was my favorite part. There were so many features that were kid friendly that my 3 year old had a blast from the moment we walked in. She immediately found the indoor trampoline, the rock climbing wall and the toy horses. Overall it was a wonderful stay!

Amazing!

The Lodge was simply amazing. My family including children and grandchildren enjoyed an incredible getaway to beautiful Yellowstone! The property and home were gorgeous and we watched Elk in the back yard and a mountain goat on a sheer face from the back window! Beautifully appointed rustic lodge with outstanding kitchen and plenty of sleeping quarters! Shai was wonderful to work with! This will not disappoint!

Family Vacation

We planned a family vacation to visit Yellowstone National Park. This log house was great for our family. The view was absolutely beautiful. The house was open and offered lots of activities for the kids. They especially enjoyed the basketball set and the trampoline outside. The kitchen was will stocked with spices and other condiments. The property was located within 30 minutes to the north entrance to Yellowstone which made it convenient for our tour of the park. Very quiet, peaceful and fun watching the wildlife. I would highly recommend this property.

Spacious and Amazing Lodge Close to Yellowstone

This lodge was a big highlight of our Yellowstone trip. We travelled with another family (4 adults 7 kids). The layout of the lodge is great with bedrooms upstairs and a large open great room down below. Views up the 6 mile dirt road are beautiful as are the views from the lodge. There is an entire kids area with toys, indoor trampoline, basketball shooting game, etc. Tip: check out the hot springs at the base of the mountain road. We soaked there our last night. This + the lodge was an incredible way to end our trip. Thank you for the stay and for the memories this provided our families!

Out of this world

We are so happy our family of 12 chose this place to stay for our trip to yellow stone. This log cabin by itself was amazing and the location and views in the backyard was a piece of heaven. I had family from new zealand, singapore and India and all of us were blown away by the beauty. The only issue was, the road leading up was a dirt road which we already knew and was ok with it once we got used to it. The directions were confusing. We passed grandpa's cabin on the right and right in front of us was a barn. It was dark and we did not see the road on the left that goes up even more to 2 more houses. Of the two cabins ours was the one on the right. We were very lucky that Nick in Grandpa's cabin drove in his car and led us up there at 10 o clock at night. It would be a good idea for the lights to be left on so that guests know there is a house there. There is no cell reception to call anyone from the road there. Shai was very responsive whenever I needed her and was able to contact her. The lodge had starlink cell reception. I would definitely come back and stay there if I need to in the future. Vardhana.

The most fabulous white Christmas

My partner and I came over from Australia with his parents to meet my sister in law and her husband (who live in America) for a white Christmas. This place blew our minds and made for literally the best Christmas we've ever had. We are wanting to come back annually and are totally obsessed with Montana in genera now. Shai is the most epic host and even put some decorations up before our arrival. A few things worth mentioning to hopefully answer any questions: - the place is WARM, central/under floor heating everywhere so even in winter it's not so bad - the place is about 15 mins off the main road and about 30 min from Gardiner where there was an big grocery store that was open even on Christmas to buy everything we needed - the kitchen is HUGE and well stocked and was easy to cook for 6 of us, we didn't end up eating out once - we got lucky with snow - a little but not a dumping. we had no issues with the road apart from some icy patches, but the road in is quite windy up a hill so definitely would be wanting snow tyres on your car at least but chains if it got heavy - the beds in the main 4 bedrooms were really comfortable . I slept SO well and even woke up to a heard of elk on Christmas morning out the window - the 5th bedroom and other sleeping areas aren't quite so comfy but for kids/less fussy adults it would be fine - the hot springs at the end of the road are great, would totally recommend
