Experience Ranch Life In the West!
Have you ever wanted to stay in a historic cabin on a ranch in Montana Do you prefer peace and quiet This cabin is located in a secluded place surrounded by nature and 2 streams, with no other cabins in sight. This cabin does not have cell service or wifi, but there is a land line. Truly unplug and get away from it all.

We raise American Quarter Horses, and generally have at least one new foal every summer. Last summer our cabin guests werefortunate enough to witness the birth! The ranch is also home to chickens, pigs, cows, dogs, and cats.

Enjoy horseback riding in the mountains, watching the pigs wallow in the mud, watching wranglers bring the horses in from the fields, watching calves play while their mothers graze, watching a farrier put shoes on a horse, seeing the newborn foals, hiking on the many acres the ranch has to offer, viewing wildlife in their natural habitat- these are a few of the many of the activities that go on here on a daily basis!

The Stermitz Ranch History
Rob's great grandfather, Joseph, was born in Slovenia, Austria in 1862 and worked in the coal mines from the age of 9. He later immigrated here from Slovenia with his wife and two children in 1892, following the promise of work in coal mines in Montana. When they arrived he was not able to find work. Joseph used his last $10 to buy a rifle in order to hunt to be able to feed his family. While here, a fire broke out in the Cokedale mines. Joe helped put out the fires and was noticed by the mine boss who asked 'who is that good worker ' Someone explained that it was an immigrant who couldn't find work. The mine boss then said 'Put that man to work. Anyone who works that hard for no pay deserves a job. The family, along with the addition of three more children, moved to the ranch in Cinnabar Basin in 1900.

    A quaint, cute cabin next to a beautiful scenic creek. We greatly enjoyed our horseback ride with Cody ( his singing was a bonus ). The property is breathtaking and a great place to unwind. ( no cellphone or internet signal in this location). Stacy was very responsive to a couple small issues that were quickly resolved.

    Our original trip was planned around Yellowstone. But a week before our stay, radical rains and flooding washed away bridges and several parts of the road into Yellowstone via the north entrance (Gardiner), closing all of Yellowstone. After connecting with Stacy about Creekside still being available, we chose to come. Parts of Yellowstone reopened on June 22nd with limited guests at the West, South and East entrances, but the North entrance remained closed. I mention this, as the park closure impacted the activities near Creekside as well. We weren't aware until we arrived that horse back riding near the property and zip-lining had also closed. No matter. We were content to listen to the creek, savor the quiet and enjoy the ever-changing Montana weather. The cabin itself is well-insulated--close the windows and you'd never know you were near water. Open them, and fall asleep to the sound of water. The cabin is ideal for two people. We brought our kids who shrugged off sleeping on the couch and on a couple of stacked mattresses on the floor, but the design is really for two. The kitchen was equipped with pots and pans of all kinds. More than adequate. The fridge is small, so would suggest a cooler for extra storage. The cabin was thoughtfully decorated and had all the extras we might need--blankets, towels, bear spray, dvds, clear instructions. Trimming the overgrown bushes might help match the beautiful inside. Blessed by kind, hard-working hosts. So glad we came.

    We had the most wonderful 5 nights at the Creekside Cabin. It was exactly what we were looking for-off the beaten path, secluded and in the mountains. It was perfect for getting in and out of Yellowstone on a daily basis. Close to Gardiner for shopping and eating out and the Yellowstone Hot Springs was on the way and a great place to relax. One of our all time favorite Vrbos

    The cabin was perfect for my wife and myself. Close to Yellowstone North entrance. It was very clean and well maintained. I would certainly recommend this cabin as place to stay if visiting Yellowstone and want to have the ability to unplug and relax.

    Great little hideaway. The only issue was how far back in the woods it was….not easy for going back into town but I just misjudged that when booking. Great if you just want to hike or stay put around the property.

    Creekside was aptly named two creeks ran on either side of the cabin and it was very relaxing to hear them. The cabin was very secluded with lots of trees. Inside was cozy with a king size bed lots of antiques and a large sofa. It was everything we wanted and close to Yellowstone/Gardiner.

    Loved this place. A real sweet stay in the mountains with mountain stream and lots of privacy, and places to hike and relax, both. Great host.

    Check-in was super easy. Host quick to respond to messages. Pulling up on this cabin everyone in the vehicle was skeptical. We were happy we drove the Jeep because the road is very bumpy and curvy. Once we were settled, all four of us slept so good. Windows open. Cool breeze. Creek water flowing by. The best sleep outside of my own bed I’ve ever had honestly. If you require room to spread out and a lot of bathroom/counter space, this is NOT the place for you. It is literally two rooms with a bathroom added on. For me and my family, it was great!

    We loved it here! The cabin was cozy, I even soaked in the bathtub one night! We also did horseback riding at the family’s ranch up the street. Kitchen has all we needed to make a few meals. No cell service was a nice way to unplug for a few days. We enjoyed the creek, it was so calming to fall asleep to and loved eating outside on the patio.

    This was a great stay. The cabin was so cute, the creek is fresh and cold, and there were only a few spiders and critters... my dad stayed in the bed and me and my partner used the two mats on the floor and they were comfy!!

    This period 1900, small cabin is remote and isolated, basically in a ravine with no mountain views, no wifi, satellite or cable TV for miles. Recommend that visitors do not drive a low sitting, compact vehicle due to the rough 4.5 mile dirt road you'll travel from the nearest town. Meets bare minimums, i.e., compact refrigerature. The creeks to and around the property are peaceful. The owners are responsive and pleasant. They offer several outdoor activities for a fee.

    We so enjoyed our stay at Creekside Cabin. Perfect for Yellowstone Park visit. Well appointed, comfortable king bed, great hot water in shower after long day. The host provided excellent directions and checked to make sure we were enjoying the property. Relaxing creeks made for peaceful setting. We loved “unplugging” for a few days.
