Hi, Thank you for taking time out of your day to write us a review. We are happy you enjoyed your stay at the Mule Deer Cabin. We hope you will consider us again in future adventures here in West Yellowstone. The best time to see some snow as well is in December- April.

Perfect Yellowstone Getaway
We stayed in Mule Deer Cabin for a Yellowstone getaway. The cabin was located outside the west gate and in a very peaceful small neighborhood. They thought of everything and we had all the amenities of home. We will definitely stay here again.

YNP visit
We loved our stay! Spent three days at this property while we visited Yellowstone National Park. Location was convenient to the park's west entrance. Home was well stocked with all essentials, including bear spray! It was great to have coolers to pack our lunch and drinks for the day. Thanks, Mike, for sharing your home with us.

West Glacier getaway 2022
Our cabin was very close to town and the west entrance to YNP. The cabin was furnished with everything you could need for a trip to Yellowstone. It was unseasonably hot when we were there and the cabin had air conditioning, but the upper rooms stayed warm during the night. There were ceiling fans to help with air movement. Overall, we had a great stay in the cabin.

Great Cabin for our Yellowstone adventure
Five Stars! The cabin was in a fantastic location close to West Yellowstone and the West Entrance of Yellowstone National Park - which was perfect for our stay. The house is well furnished and stocked with everything our family needed to truly enjoy our stay. Enough room to relax in the lower level family room and the top floor loft, as well as plenty of room in the bedrooms to accommodate our family of five. It offered amazing views of the surrounding mountains, and was private enough for the whole family to peacefully relax after long days touring Yellowstone. It was a benefit being so close to West Yellowstone which allowed easy access to stores, supermarkets, and restaurants. The kitchen had everything we needed to make breakfast, bagged lunches for the park, and dinner a few nights (having a grill was awesome). Above all, the residence was very clean, had great hot water for showers, and a good internet connection (which is hard in mountain areas). All in all it was an amazing stay and contributed to our overall once in a lifetime trip to Yellowstone!

Christmas Vacation
We are from the south and had never been out of it before. We decided to do something totally different and spend Christmas in Montana this year. Mike was very helpful, generous and kind. He suggested lots of things to do in the area and helped us with an amazing route suggestion for a scenic drive up. Our trip was cut short due to unexpected circumstances, but the days that we did get to enjoy were absolutely wonderful. The cabin provided everything we needed. The kitchen was stocked when it came to seasonings, flour, utensils, pots, pans, etc.. i needed nothing to cook meals for my precious family. The views from the cabin were breathtaking. And the beautiful Gallatin National Park snowmobile trails literally lead right to the driveway. I think that was our favorite part.

Stopped by Grand Teton N.P. on the way to the house from Jackson. Another awesome park! Just a great house to come home to after a day in Yellowstone or wherever your travels take you.

Great cabin in perfect location
We loved the Lazy Acres cabin. It was just me and my daughter on an epic road trip through Grand Teton, Yellowstone and Glacier National Parks. Mike’s cabin is about 7 miles from the western entrance of the park. We had no issues at all with traffic congestion getting Into the park from this location. It was nice to be in a quiet, secluded location after running around like mad for 4 days in the park. The cabin is super comfortable and very well stocked for cooking. Spices, olive oil, flour, sugar, coffee filters, paper goods, foil, etc. and a washer/dryer. It has a nice front deck with a grill and a big dining table inside for families. We streamed Hulu and Amazon on the tv. Good WiFi for those of us who need to keep up with work. Lots of restaurant options in town, including huckleberry ice cream, which my daughter loved. Two pretty good grocery stores in town. Note that liquor other than wine or beer must be purchased at a liquor store - just a note for those of you who might care. One other note is that there are great bison viewing sites in between this western entrance of the park and the Madison intersection in the park, which can lead to “bison jams” at busy times of day. Plan on spending 10 to 12 hours per day in the park if you want to see everything. No lying around in bed drinking coffee - just go! It will be the best time and most wonderful experience you and your loved ones have ever had. We broke the park down into three parts and just focused on each part per day and it worked out really well. Mike’s cabin is a good midway point for all you will want to see. Have fun!

Not what I expected for price
Pros: convenient to town, comfortable beds well equipped kitchen, nice decor. Cons: in subdivision not secluded like images seem, property is overall much smaller than images appear, unable to use upstairs TV due to no remote. Road to property was very difficult to navigate with multiple pot holes. Small cars will have difficulty. View is limited due to neighboring homes. Neutral: Also several roof leaks throughout the home likely due to recent heavy snow/rain. Owner was contacted and had it patched temporarily.

Jessica, Sorry to here your stay did not meet your expectations. This is the first time in over 9 years we have received less than five stars(only one 4 star) Nonetheless, I'm sorry about the roof leak, but as you mentioned, the storms you experienced were abnormal. As for the size, views and proximity of our home in a "subdivsion", we like to be able to get to our home in the winter and this requires being part of a neighborhood of 25 homes on 1000 acres. As many others do, please make a note to ask the owner for a more detailed description if these things are important to you. The views on our website were not fabricated! Final comment, my rates are below market.

A Perfect Location To Explore Yellowstone National Park
The house is beautiful and only a short drive to the western entrance of Yellowstone National Park. It was an ideal home for our party of six (including two older kids). We did have a small snafu getting into the property at the appointed time, as the cleaners were still there. And a few basics were missing: like extra toilet paper and dish soap. But it was easy to overlook those minor issues, given the coziness and location of this great home. When we visit Yellowstone NP again, we'd be happy to stay here!

Hi Stacey, If by rural, You mean local traffic noise, I couldn't agree more. This Covid-19 pandemic has brought an exceptional amount of traffic and visitors to the local by-ways of West Yellowstone extending much later into the year than normal. Over 5 million visitors have been condensed in a much shorter season this year and it has been hard to deal with for us locals and some visitors. September and October is normally a very quiet time of year. I hope your stay and visit to the park will still generally good. It is still one of the most exceptional areas on the planet to visit. Thanks, Mike O. 👍

We stayed at the lazy acres cabin in August 2020. The rental was very clean and well suited for a family to spend a week (or more) enjoying the Yellowstone area. It's a great location with good proximity to the park and West Yellowstone. Please do note however, that the sign described in the directions for the turn into the neighborhood no longer exists - the street sign is there though.

We had a marvelous stay at Lazy Acres! The house is beautiful and has all the amenities we could hope for. The location is just far enough outside of West Yellowstone to not feel crowded but close enough to easily get groceries and stuff. And it’s very convenient to the west entrance if Yellowstone NP. We only wish we had more time to stay here. We highly recommend this house for your Yellowstone adventure.

Great location for a Yellowstone visit
Our family (6 adults, an 8 year old, and a 12 year old) stayed for nearly a week for a visit to Yellowstone NP. The house was just as described and comfortably slept all 8 of us. There’s space for everyone to sleep. The house is well stocked with a variety of extra little supplies. We found the house conveniently located to the park. We rated the neighborhood a bit lower because it seems a little run down or unfinished (it was hard to tell). For the cost of the home we expected a little bit nicer of a neighborhood. That being said, it was a quiet and peaceful area-which we greatly appreciated after long days in the park. And, even though the neighborhood wasn’t what we expected, the cabin itself was nice....clean, comfortable, and as described in the listing. We would definitely return again. The ability to sleep in a bed, have a hot shower, and wash clothes makes for a comfortable vacation!

Perfect alternative to other lodging
Our reservations at Grant Village (in Yellowstone park) were cancelled by Xanterra due to COVID19, so in a search for an alternative came up with this house. It ended up being a true blessing in disguise!! There was plenty of room for 4 adults and 3 kids. Not only was the neighborhood beautiful, but the house itself was really nice. Remarkable woodwork with the log accents. The kitchen was very well stocked, so we cooked the entire time, and didn't have to go to the crowded, non-mask wearing restaurants in the W Yellowstone downtown area. We saw a brown fox and its offspring one morning. Everything was in good condition and working order, and most importantly the beds were VERY comfortable. We've found in other share rentals beds can be hit or miss, and it was a hit here. Our friend was saying his back felt much better after sleeping here. The sun lit main room was amazing (multiple large windows), we enjoyed the mountain sunsets every night.
