Absolutely perfect. !

Perfect views, accommodations, hosts, and wildlife right outside the window. One hundred percent would stay again and recommend to anyone thinking about visiting Yellowstone. Perfect location just outside all the hustle of the park. We loved everything about our stay. All amenities were fantastic. We spent a week, but it didn’t feel like enough. Thank you Shawn & Jim for sharing your beautiful place with us.

Wonderful Place to Stay!

This was the perfect place for my wife and I to stay during our first trip to Yellowstone. Very close to the North entrance, and a little outside of Gardiner. We saw elk every day here! The bed is very comfortable and the kichen was well stocked with cooking tools a

Amazing!

We really enjoyed our stay here! The location was perfect: very close to Northern YNP entrance as well as Gardiner, which was super convenient for grocery shopping, restaurants, gas station, etc. Shawn was an amazing host and was very helpful providing local recommendations. The cabin was beautiful, and the added bonus was the abundance of elk that were seen around the property! We are already planning to rent this cabin for our future revisit to MT!

Great Spot For Yellowstone Trip

Jim & Shawn’s place is exactly as they described it in the listing. It was comfortable for our family, plus our dog. It was conveniently close to town and the Yellowstone entrance. It had everything we needed for the week. We enjoyed seeing the elk every morning, and we also enjoyed watching the horses.

Great location & property

We had a wonderful time staying at this cabin. Perfectly sized and even more perfectly located to Gardiner and the Yellowstone north entrance. The hosts were great at communicating and everything we needed was there, including a wealth of info in the cabin book. Loved sitting on the porch to watch the weather and wildlife! Our whole family loved it.

Nature Everywhere

It was a nice, clean property but rarely were inside with the large deck and beautiful views! Elk were nearby every morning and night and fun to hear the baby elk calling their mothers. Close to north entrance of park. Very friendly and responsive owners when we had questions. Would stay here again!

Yellowstone retreat

Stayed here during our Yellowstone trip. Very nice cabin! Clean, comfortable and perfect location to base our trip from. Shawn was readily available for our questions. Woke up each morning watching elk graze around the valley and next to the cabin while enjoying coffee from the front porch. Perfect! The town of Gardiner was just 4 miles away for any shopping needed.

Perfect

We absolutely loved our stay!!! Just a few miles from the north entrance of Yellowstone, where we spent our days! We saw hundreds of elk daily just outside the windows, passing by. It was magical!! And horses come right up to the property. My toddler loved the animals so much! Shawn was a great host and available if needed.

Beautiful and peaceful space

We loved staying here. It was so quiet and pieceful and not far from Yellowstone, where we spent our days. I'll never forget the first morning when we woke up to find the place surrounded by a heard of elk. We just opened all the curtains, made coffee, and sat and enjoyed the view as they picked their way past and had their own breakfast. It was a magical experience for my family. I hope we can come back another time.

Gorgeous views close to YNP

Our family really enjoyed our stay! It was the perfect home away from home for our trip. Laundry on site, beautiful gas grill, full kitchen and quality bedding. We loved that they have everything you need for a great day at Yellowstone at your fingertips. Tour guides, bear spray, cooler, zip lock bags, ice, etc. There are plenty of businesses open in Gardiner to shop, grab coffee or dine in on your way into or home from the park. We adore the area and hope to return!The owners are on site very friendly and helpful. Thank you again!

Perfect

Everything about this beautiful cabin is perfect. The location could not be better as is sits atop of a hill where you can see mountains out of every window. It is so close to the entrance to Yellowstone, Gardiner and not to far from Livingston. Everyday we saw the Elk herd from the balcony. It had everything you may need to make your stay comfortable from the bed, full kitchen, cozy blankets to the nice dining and living room furniture. The hosts were kind and welcoming. We are so grateful we stayed here.

Wonderful Stay!

This property & the owners are so great! The view is incredible! We sat on the front porch & enjoyed the view of the mountains everyday. The trail behind the property has a creek running through it. It’s so peaceful! The drive to Yellowstone is only 10 minutes. The elk herd moved through the property every morning & evening too! The owners are very sweet & friendly. Also, the horses & dogs made the stay extra special! Loved it!

This is the Best Cabin!

We totally loved our stay at the cabin! Close to Gardiner and the North Entrance – but just far enough away to really relax. We had visits from deer and elk daily, right outside the window. The front porch was a great space to enjoy the scenery, with views of both mountains and the river valley. The cabin was very nicely decorated with all the modern amenities. The kitchen was well stocked with all the kitchenware needed to prepare meals and lunches to take into the park. The cabin worked perfectly for 2 couples and a dog, and would be a great space for kids to explore. I whole-heartedly recommend this cabin!

Awesome cabin with everything you will need plus much more. The views from the porch are great!

Really, this place is awesome. I would arrange my next trip out here around getting this property! All new things, with everything you need plus so many extras like: a welcome bottle of wine, all the fixings for s’mores on the fire pit out back and plenty of dry wood, plastic baggies came in handy, wooden wick candles to burn, plush monogrammed robes for everyone to use, shampoo and conditioner in the bathroom, a Webber gas grill . They thought of every thing! The views are really great too. We are so close to town and the Roosevelt Gate but just far enough out to where you don’t see town. The pictures and artwork on the walls are all nicely done. On the driveway up the hill you are greeted by horses too. Please don’t pass this place up, it’s a jewel!

The Overlook, stunning views and cozy cabin

My family of 5 stayed at The Overlook” at Little trail creek cabins and it was perfect for us. The cabin was clean, cozy and had amazing views. This cabin had everything we needed and Shawn was so lovely and responsive to us during our stay and leading up to our stay as I had a few questions. Its about 10-15 minutes from the Yellowstone Hot springs which my kids loved after a long day of exploring Yellowstone. It’s also 7 minutes from the town of Gardiner and the North entrance Yellowstone. We spent the mornings on the front porch drinking coffee with amazing Mountain View’s then off to explore Yellowstone National park. We came home in the early evening to eat and relax and it was perfect. Shawn also has items for kids to play with, a trampoline and other items for purchase. If you need ice they have it too! They’ve thought of everything, we will be back and I highly recommend it!

Perfect getaway

The moment we arrived we felt welcomed and comfortable. The owner was readily available and provided all the information we needed. The home was perfect for the four of us. Beautiful views from every window in the home. We had everything we needed to make meals and enjoy evenings by the fire. Shawn has thought about every detail to make your stay comfortable and inviting. The star gazing was spectacular at night.The home is super convenient to the north entrance of Yellowstone. It allowed us to visit the park everyday. The town of Gardiner is also a nice little town to explore. We would definitely stay at Shawn’s again.

Just heaven

Everything about this place is amazing! Very well decorated and immersed. in western original Montana Wyoming style and decor! Great location to Yellowstone and Gardiner for quick meals and entrance into the park. Everything has easy access to get too. Very comfy place. Had at least 10 to 20 elk within close view every morning from the kitchen and living room windows . Gardiner is a hidden gym . Had all the amenities we needed .Great views of devils slide and valley. Beautiful sunsets every evening . Beds were very comfy. Make sure to bring your binoculars to see wildlife up and across the mountain. Shawn was very attentive to our needs and quick to respond thru texting. Very worth the value ! Looking forward to staying here again and looking forward to our next trip to Yellowstone !
