Yellowstone Park - 1/2 Mile to NE Gate. Silver Gate/Cooke City

Wolves, bear, moose and elk abound in the Silver Gate/Cooke City part of Yellowstone and the Beartooth Mountains. There are beautiful mountain views from the back deck, and front windows. Some of the best native trout fishing in the world is minutes from the house. These include the Yellowstone River, Lamar River, Slough Creek, Soda Butte Creek, and the Clarks Fork of the Yellowstone. This is a summer rental only!
A great family day can be spent touring the famous features of Yellowstone or taking a day trip to Cody, WY to see the Wild Bill Cody Museum, a genuine rodeo nightly, a mock gun fight at the original Irma Hotel, good food, and many shops including the Sierra Outlet. Cooke City is 3 miles away for shopping, restaurants, ATV rentals and much more. But Silver Gate has quite a few sweet places too. The best time for animal watching is June and early July, while the best time for fishing is mid July through September. Hiking is fabulous anytime.

The house is clean, spacious and comfortable, with a large Great Room and fireplace, leather furniture, big kitchen with new black range top cooking surface and full size laundry with half bath on first floor. Second floor has two very large bedrooms with new carpet: One has two double beds and one single bed and the other has a queen bed and a single. This arrangement will sleep a family of six or 5 singles. Also, a nice full bathroom upstairs.

Outside there is a rear deck with gorgeous mountain views so close you feel like you can reach out and touch them. There is a grill and patio furniture for outdoor dining. There is also a very small stream in the yard which holds a few small native Yellowstone Cutthroat Trout. Very private yard.

Wonderful property
This property sits right in the small town of Silvergate just outside the entrance to the park. It was a perfect rental if you want to enjoy beautiful surroundings in Montana and Yellowstone park. Marcia, the owner/host could not be friendlier and more knowledgeable about the area. She was fantastic and everyone in the area knows her. The home was comfortable and welcoming. I would definitely look to rent this property the next time we visit this area!!!

Wonderful experience in beautiful Silver Gate Montana
We had the very best time at Marcia’s place. It was immaculate and had absolutely everything that you would need for cooking, showering. She even had the fire all ready to be lite. We didn’t end up needing it but it was ready to go! The outdoor space was fabulous. The view from the backyard can’t be beat. We watched the hummingbirds from the dining room table. Marcia is the kindest sweetest lady and goes out of her way to make sure you have a wonderful time.

Perfect home base for NE Yellowstone adventures
This home in Silver Gate was a perfect base for our family to explore Yellowstone from the Northeast entrance. Marcia is a very gracious host & met us at check in to go over the home & how everything worked. She made great recommendations on things to do both inside & outside the park. It was an amazing trip that our family will not forget. We loved it!!

FANTASTIC PLACE TO STAY
I cannot say enough about this rental. Marcia was great to deal with; communication was responsive and informative. The house itself is perfect for those visiting Yellowstone Nat.'al park, esp.if you want to be close to the wildlife rich Lamar Valley. Marcia was always helpful as to things to do, places to eat, and always notified us of local wildlife sightings. If you get a chance and want a nice place to stay.....rent this house!

Lamar valley home base
Great home in a super cool small Montana town. Great home base for exploring Yellowstone. I picked this area for its close proximity to Lamar Valley. If your wanting to experience the areas mega fauna this is the place. Lamar valley is beyond words . Spend some time in this area, you will not be disappointed.

Beautiful home Amazing experience
After talking about taking my kids to Yellowstone for many many years I don't think I could've found a better place to stay. The home itself has an amazing feel to it and outback you get an amazing view with the sounds of a crystal clear creek runs through the yard.Marcia herself is an absolute treat. She was extremely kind and helpful and even gave the kids going away geodes because she's just that sweet. Great home and a great person behind it

Perfect cabin one mile from NE Yellowstone entrance
My husband and I stayed here for a week while we visited Yellowstone, and had a truly wonderful experience! The cabin is beautiful, spacious, and immaculately clean. Fully stocked with everything you could need. The owner, Marcia, is a delightful person who goes out of her way to make sure the stay is special. Silver Gate is a charming little community, and very quiet at night. The cabin is just 20 min from Lamar Valley where we saw all sorts of wildlife. We enjoyed every minute of our stay, and hope to return next year.

Excellent property and wonderful host!
We loved our stay in the cabin! There are 6 of us in the family and there was plenty of space to enjoy ourselves when we were not out exploring Yellowstone. Marcia was a wonderful host and had lots of great tips and recommendations for us and even lots of communication prior to arriving too. Our trip to Yellowstone was supposed to happen last year, but because of the flooding, we rebooked with Marcia for this year and so glad we did. It was fun exploring both Silver gate and Cooke City when were weren't in YNP. We loved that the entrance was so close and driving through the Lamar Valley to see all the wildlife was fantastic! Highly recommend staying here, you won't be disappointed.

Quiet getaway
The house is very comfortable with lots of room to spread out. We had a lot of gear, so it was nice to have room for it all. Marcia adds some thoughtful touches like providing Kleenex, (many rentals don't) tons of trash cans, and ice in the freezer ready for cocktails on arrival day! The washer/dryer were especially appreciated after having been on a 4 day camping trip. We enjoyed the peaceful back porch and benefited from Marcia's fishing expertise. We will definitely rent again when back in the area.

Great home, amazing host and beautiful memories
It was a blessing that we found this great vacation rental! The home was exactly what we were looking for. It was just down the road from the northeast entrance to YNP and had everything needed to make us feel right at home. The weather was a little cold for us with lows in the 30’s (we had come from 100+ degree temperatures in Texas), but the house was well insulated with a great heating system and toasty fireplace. The large comfortable sectional sofa was a favorite spot for relaxing after a long day of hiking. The internet never failed us and it gave us the opportunity to catch up on work emails and binge-watch shows. The kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed to cook big breakfasts and the back deck had a grill to cookout in the evenings. Sitting on the deck was a treat because we were able to relax listening to the little brook that ran behind the house, play cards at the patio table, and watch for mountain goats on the nearby mountain. Marsha was an amazing host! She had a great personality and provided everything we needed to have a pleasant stay. She even took time to come by and greet us when we arrived offering suggestions on things we didn’t want to miss. We left with beautiful memories of an awesome vacation spent at the perfect vrbo. We’ll be looking to stay here again on future trips to Yellowstone.

Location location location.
This log cabin was very nice, we are so glad we selected it for our vacation. The cabin was fully furnished and I do mean fully! The bed was very comfortable and the house is clean. This is a quiet very remote location so your cell phone may not have service but the owner provided a landline and wifi so you can check on the rest of the world (if you want to). Now I came here primarily for photography and the location cannot be beat. I would leave before first light enter Yellowstone's NE entrance which is only 0.5 miles away and be in Lamar Valley in 30 minutes. We saw and photographed Wolves, Big horn sheep, Antelope, Elk, Fox, Mule Deer, Black Bear, Grizzley Bear, and of heards of Bison. There are a few stores and very good restaurant near the the cabin if you need them. We drove near all the other entrances in the park and in my opinion this is the most beautiful and quiet. I was a little reluctant to write this review because I would like to keep this location my secret but that would just be greedy.

The. Best. Ever!
Marcia's home in Silver Gate was absolutely the best. The photos do not do it justice. It is quite spacious with plenty of room to relax and enjoy the beautiful views out every window. Her home has everything anyone could need with a kitchen stocked better than my own. New sofa and chairs that are perfect for relaxing and reading. The beds are super comfortable (new mattresses I believe Marcia said). The bathroom is spacious with great counter space - hard to find that! Hot water seemed endless. Water pressure great. Refrigerator is new and huge (good for holding my 30 days of meals). Wifi never faltered. Sitting out back under the mountains is so peaceful. Easy in and out. I loved the individual bedroom/bathroom heaters that work quickly and efficiently, and I could set them how I wanted the rooms warmed. I could walk to anywhere in Silver Gate. And Marcia is the ultimate hostess! She is so knowledgeable about everything in the area. Ask her anything. I recommend this home as highly as I possibly can.

Not a good experience
Property was dated but well supplied. Upstairs bathroom was filthy- I had to clean toilet and shower floor. I took pictures but they are too gross to post. Owner was nice - but- we have rented over 100 different cabins and have NEVER had our space invaded like happened here. We went to breakfast and came back to the house to find the owner sitting at our dining table working on her computer. I was furious. She lives next door and said her internet was not as strong as the rental so she decided to come into our rental when we were not there. She was trying to set up a power booster - end result was my husband ended up trying to help her for almost two hours. He is that kind of guy. The back yard patio is not really private - the caretaker lives in a house about 20 feet away. If you are looking for a good location to the park this place is great.

Unbelievable Trip
What an unbelievable week we had on our first visit to Yellowstone! It was the forty something parents and 2 teenagers! Marcia’s home is a true gem, and if there is the perfect place to stay near the park, this is it!!! Quiet, quaint, and friendly is how I would describe Silver Gate and neighboring Cooke City. For the teens, there is Wi-Fi for night. But the great thing is, when exploring, there no cell service or internet, so we get to unplug! We saw wolves, moose, grizzlies, goats, big horn sheep, and everything in between. The wonderful thing is, most things were seen within a 10 minute drive from the house in Pebble Creek and Soda Butte on the way to Lamar Valley. I cannot say enough wonderful things about the location of this home. It is away from the hustle and bustle and crowds that we saw in other areas of Yellowstone. One thing I would recommend….plan to cook food in your cabin and have picnics during the day. There are several places to eat, but Miners Saloon was the only one that was delicious. Marcia’s kitchen is amazing and has everything you would need to cook inside or outside while having a nice view of the mountains. The locals in this area are very friendly and helpful as well. I can’t wait to go back later in the year so Marcia can show us how to catch some cutthroat! Thank you for sharing your family’s home with us. I know it is very special to you as you have been visiting for over 20 years in the summer. We appreciate you sharing this place with us!

A little slice of Heaven
The property was great, very clean and roomy. We are three seniors and two were first time to Yellowstone. Great little kitchen with a roomy fridge and a huge grill out back on a nice deck. Water was hot and shower was great. Used the fireplace on two nights and the little furnace in the family room was impressive. It got down in the 30’s two nights and snowed in the mountains but we were warm and cozy. There are electric heaters in every room but we didn’t need to use any of them. House is well insulated. The host was warm and welcoming and answered all questions we has regarding check-in/out processes and those regarding the local establishments. Silver Gate and Cooke City were great little towns to visit. Finally, the reason for staying here was location to Yellowstone and the Lamar Valley. We saw elk, grizzly bear, black bear, moose two days in a row, pronghorns, mountain goats, bald eagles, and bison. My wife saw a white wolf and there was a pack of 14 wolves operating in the Slough Creek campground valley that we visited three days in a row. This was all within 1 hour of this cabin. Would definitely stay here if location to wildlife is high on your list.
