'Mammoth Overlook of Yellowstone' Mountain Views! Near North Entrance!

Mammoth Overlook Of Yellowstone – 3 br/3 ba home with breathtaking views and sounds of Bear Creek, located just SIX miles from Yellowstone Park’s year-round North entrance! Amazing views from every room, wood-burning fireplace, fully-equipped kitchen, dining and living areas. Located near 3 outfitters for horseback riding, fly fishing, dog sledding, backcountry skiing, hunting, and more. Enjoy comfortable beds, luxurious linens, Smart TVs!

The ultimate Yellowstone escape! Breathtaking views of the gorgeous Montana mountainside from nearly every room, the constant sound of Bear Creek running just below, and located only 6 miles to the North entrance of Yellowstone National Park (the ONLY year-round entrance) where you will have access to dramatic canyons, wildlife viewing, lush forests, alpine rivers, hot springs, and gushing geysers; including its most famous, Old Faithful.

The cabin is surrounded by untouched land all around and the sounds of Bear Creek instantly make you feel connected with the beautiful nature of Montana! Guests often see wildlife every day such as a beautiful mule deer, foxes, and elk with some reports of a mink along with a herd of horses across the hillside. Bear sightings have occurred nearby as well! Located between 3 area outfitters, you can easily enjoy horseback riding, fly-fishing, backcountry hunting, backcountry skiing, dog sledding, snow coach tours, horse-drawn sleigh rides, snowshoeing, ice climbing, river rafting, and so much more! One of the outfitters (Specimen Creek Outfitters) is within walking distance where you can enjoy private horseback rides through the golden aspen trees, alongside babbling creeks, and up the mountain!

**Attention! In order to experience these breathtaking mountain vistas, please note that the road leading to the cabin is consistently uphill. While 4-wheel drive is not obligatory at all times, we strongly recommend using 4-wheel drive throughout the year. However, it is imperative to have 4-wheel drive during the winter months..**

Great proximity to the north gate at Yellowstone. Clean and well stocked. The shower head in the bathroom closest to the door did not function well, but all else was great.

Amazing views!
The house was very nice and exactly like the pictures! Amazing views while relaxing on the porch. Good amount of kitchen and household items. The only rating of a 4 is the location as property is a bit of a drive out of town and the road to property is quite rough, which was noted to us in advance. But would definitely stay there again.

Wonderful stay close to YNP
The property was beautiful with the best linens. Communication with the property manager were clear. While the view from the mountain was beautiful, the dirt road to access the home is scary if you aren’t used to driving up mountains. The horses across from the property also smelled a bit on windy days but overall a nice stay.

Our family loved staying here. It was cool to be out in the mountains with no one around. The house was in great condition and clean and felt wonderful to stay in. Like others have said, it was a little scary driving up to the place. We were a little worried later when it rained and lightly snowed, but everything was fine with 4x4 drive.

We had an awesome time at "A Stay Above the Rest"! The house was just as described and had plenty of space for our group of 7 adults. We loved the mountain views and being close to town and Yellowstone entrance. The hosts were super helpful and responsive throughout our stay. Can't wait to stay here again on our next Yellowstone trip!

Beautiful views - great hospitality!
This property feels like home! The view from the porch is unbeatable especially with a cup of coffee in hand! The home was so well stocked we lacked nothing and cooked a fantastic meal for 6 using the grill. Coffee pods, creamer sugar, spices, all the kitchen gear you could need. If we ever come back to Gardiner we would gladly stay again! Thanks for sharing your home with us.

The much warned against bears didn’t get us!!
In fact, we didn’t even see them. Road in a bit challenging—low-slung car might bottom out on last curve so rent a car with good clearance. Lovely, clean, well-appointed accommodations. Excellent , well/equipped kitchen and bathrooms and comfortable beds. Would definitely rent again.

Scary beautiful
The balcony views were absolutely beautiful. The house was beautiful, and cleanly. The scary is having drive up up a mountain on a gravel road some spots with no guard rail. There is also a very sharp left turn into driveway might need to do a three point turn on a hill for 15 passenger van.

Beautiful Home
This home is a beautiful place to stay. We enjoyed our time there. The home is stocked nicely with all supplies needed to stay. The only reason I gave 4 stars is the drive to get there. It is only 5 miles from Gardiner but takes at minimum 20 minutes to reach the house. The gravel road is not well maintained. We visited in July so no worries about snow but we were driving a sprinter van and it was difficult to navigate the gravel road full of washboards. Had we been driving something different it would have been easier.

The property was as pictured. It was very clean and very well stocked. It was great being in a remote location. Specimen Creek Outfitters has a location just out back. They offer hunting, horseback rides, and wilderness backpack trips. The guides are very friendly and knowledgeable. We took advantage and booked a horseback riding tour with Specimen Creek Outfitters. I would definitely come back here.

Great place to chill
Overall a very nice place to chill. A few minor issues, more so with cleanliness. Property management was always quick to respond. Description does state there is a gravel road up to the cabin. Definitely need to take that into account if you are driving a car.

This cabin will be hard to beat!
This cabin was perfect for our group of 6; plenty of room for everyone. The views are beyond stunning. We had a little trouble getting in, so don’t be like us and forget to write down the entry code before you start up the mountain! There is no cell service until you are hooked up to the cabin’s wifi. The hosts were VERY responsive and helpful. I had two voicemails from them before I could get cell service! I would highly recommend this cabin, I wish I was still there!

Nice property beautiful views, didn't have a very good check in tho couldnt get up road even in 4 wheel drive, had to all put chains on, then couldnt get to door until the guys shoveled 3 feet of snow to get to the entrance. One couple was unable to get up to property they stayed in town at motel. The guys enjoyed scoping out the windows and seeing all the game. We really wish we would have had some fire wood since there was a wood stove but no biggie.But when we called they tended to our problem immediately great gals.
