Historic 2 Story Hand-Hewn Log Cabin Next to Yellowstone Park

We enjoyed the fire pit but it would have been nice if the yard around the house and fire pit had been mown.

We enjoyed your stay at the property. The owners where very helpful with us changing our reservations and the communication was amazing. We will book this location in the future.

Our stay was fantastic! We loved the location, the decor, and the coziness of the home. The owner went above and beyond to meet us and teach us how to use the fireplace and also gave us a tour and shared the history of the home. The house has everything you need and the beds are comfortable. The proximity to Gardiner, Yellowstone and Yellowstone hot springs is fantastic. The kids climbed the mountain behind the home every morning and loved the freedom and wilderness!

What a wonderful stay! The house is amazing, comfortable and stocked with essentials for your trip. Condiments, pantry items, shower essentials, ketchup, laundry soap and even towels for the hot springs nearby to avoid a rental fee. The hosts have put a lot of love into this place. So much character and lovely details. We also saw deer right out the window! Highly recommend for your Yellowstone adventure! Would love to return :)

Great cabin we really enjoyed our stay.

We really enjoyed our stay. The cabin was thoughfully supplied with items that we appreciated. The owner left us a one page hand written letter welcoming us. There was a herd of elk right outside the cabin some mornings. Would recommend staying here to anyone. Picture is the view from the front of the cabin. Thank you!!

We really enjoyed the scenery! Yellowstone park was close for us to go in and visit!! Was just an enjoyable place to visit!! We had elk in our front yard and a bear climbing the mountains in the back!!

Alex (host) was great. Canin is beautiful, clean and conveniently located. Would definitely stay again

We loved staying here for our Yellowstone trip. It's in a great location with beautiful views. When we pulled up there was an entire herd of Elk in the front yard.

We enjoyed our stay here so much! The views were amazing, and so much space for everyone. The cabin was so stunning, I would definitely stay here again.

Amazing property conveniently located to everything you need. Let me also mention the owners they are the best owners I’ve dealt with by far. They kept us updated with things to do in the area. If you are on the fence about this place let me tell you it was totally worth it.

What a unique place with everything we needed and then some! We all thoroughly enjoyed staying here as a home base for visiting Yellowstone. The restored home was beautiful. Our extended family of 9(4 kids) made good use of the large kitchen & table. The kids loved making smores. There was beauty in the nature right outside & just a few minutes to Yellowstone. Highly recommend!!!

Our family of 7 had plenty of room to recoop after long days in the park. It was a very quiet area and the fans were adequate to cool the bedrooms at night.

The historic cabin is just that historic. The restoration done by Alex and Beth is simply stunning. The location is 5 minutes from Gardiner, and along the float from McConnel to Joe Brown access sites on the Yellowstone River. The location is just perfect. The cabin is well stocked on all fronts and makes an extended effortless. We stayed for 17 nights and look forward to our next visit.Brant

Great space with all sorts of little surprises to discover. Fully restored log home with all the things to make you feel at home. Complete with a basket on a rope for the young at heart to send messages/socks/snacks up to the second floor loft bedroom. Beds were comfy with plenty of pillows to pick your favorite. Very clean. Pantry with all the staples and a few extra. If you admire antique furniture, there are several incredible pieces throughout the home. Fire pit out back with a pile of dry wood was the perfect way to end a full day exploring Yellowstone. Felt like home away from home. Love that it didn’t feel stark and sterile. Be sure to flip through the before and after photo book to truly appreciate the blood sweat and tears that went into restoring the home.

We had an awesome four night stay! Perfect location after a long day of exploring Yellowstone. We loved sitting on the porch watching the 50 plus elk visit the front yard each evening. Our kids loved playing Yellowstone Monopoly around the kitchen table. Plenty of space for our family of 6. Communication with the owners was great, even had a chance to chat with him about the history of the home, so cool! Highly recommend this home! Thank you!

Awesome 100 yr old house that has been fantastically restored. Very close to Gardiner and North entrance to YNP. All the amenities you need, plus wildlife in the front yard. Highly recommend!

We stayed while visiting Yellowstone National Park. The location was very convenient and the cabin was perfect. Plenty of room, clean and comfortable. Our last night we watched an elk herd wander through the front yard!Highly recommended!

So much space and everything you need. We love the view and the elk. Many elk around every day we were there. The cabin is fabulous!

Amazing cute home. You can see the efforts that have gone into refurbishing the cabin.Very convenient location for exploring Yellowstone North Loop

My friends and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this historic home just north of Gardiner. It made a great base for exploring Yellowstone NP entering through the north entrance. We especially loved the wildlife seen right outside our front door, including a small herd of elk that visited us each evening! We also had the pleasure of meeting our hosts who restored this lovely home. The house was well stocked and we loved all the natural light the many windows provided.

Great location, house had everything needed, loved having the yard for the kids to play and explore. Owner, Alex was super nice and knowledgeable about the history of the home and area.

Alex’s cabin was perfect for our family of 6 with plenty of room for everyone and comfortable gathering spaces. It is well stocked with everything you need and has countless books and pamphlets about Yellowstone. Alex is a kind, attentive but not obtrusive host who has lovingly and skillfully restored this 100 year old cabin. It is a short drive to Yellowstone’s Gardiner entrance and about 75 minutes from the Lamar Valley wildlife where we started our first day in the park. I would give this place 6 stars if I could! Thanks Alex!!!

Everything was great only complant bedding could be better but over all great location

Alex & Beth’s place was the perfect central location from which to view and explore Yellowstone. The cabin was the most unique place I have ever stayed—it was obvious how much love, ingenuity, creativity, and respect for history went into the restoration and the accommodations for their guests. The beds were very comfortable, the kitchen was spacious and fully stocked, and the shower was perfect. The highlight for us, however, were the dozens of elk and sheep who hung out in the yard! The scenery is beautiful as well.

Exactly what we were hoping for to celebrate my husband's 50th birthday - cute, historic, and cozy! Well-stocked kitchen and bath. So thoughtful to include towels for the hot springs. The host greeted us when we arrived and gave us a very thorough tour and explained how everything worked. We saw elks in the yard every day. Be warned, the upstairs floors are incredibly creaky and loud. Going to the bathroom in the middle of the night will wake up the whole house! But that's part of the charm.

The property was very nice and we loved the history. The whole process was easy and the owners very helpful. We will definitely stay here again

I unfortunately had to cut my vacation short due to Hurricane Helene and missed this portion of the trip but my family were able to enjoy the stay. They had nothing but positive things to say about the place and the owner. I have seen all the pictures and really wish I could have stayed.

The house is lovely. What made the experience memorable was the host's dedication to preserving the home's history and his efforts to make our stay optimal. The kitchen is well stocked. There are plenty of board games, Yellowstone related books and movies. We really enjoyed our stay. Thank you so much.

The house was unique and beautifully restored. There is a little creek behind the house and the mountain goes straight up behind it. We were visiting nightly by an elk and her calf. Beautiful sunrises and sunsets.

What a wonderful experience! The hosts could not have been better, the cabin was furnished so wonderful! The wildlife was also incredible!

Hands down best Vrbo we have stayed in. Place is so unique and well equipped. Owner is super nice and helpful. You will love your stay.

The five of us, ages 80-24 (grandparents, parents, grandson), were blown away by the expansive views and wildlife encounters at Michael and Beth's wonderful cabin. Montana truly is Big Sky Country. Coming home after a long day of hiking in Yellowstone to a herd of elk was a treat we will not soon forget. Imagine waking up to magpies, elk and rabbits just outside your door! The cabin was lovingly restored and filled with memorabilia, educational books and sweet touches at every turn. We highly recommend this property and were sad to leave; we will long carry the memories of our stay with us!

We absolutely loved this stay. It was so evident that this home was loving restored by Alex and family and all the history was fascinating. We were welcomed by a pair of bunnies in the drive way and then a whole herd of elk paraded through the yard daily! The house had SO many personal touches and extras that made our stay so very comfortable. I would absolutely recommend this home to all who enjoys a little bit of the rustic beauty that comes with an old log cabin!

Loved the Cabin, the location and all of the elk and rabbits in the yard everyday. Everything we needed was in the cabin and/or at the grocery store in Gardiner. Access to Yellowstone was as good as it gets. Easy trip to Bozeman as well.

Lots of animals and beautiful views.

This was a fantastic way to add to our family vacation experience of Yellowstone. This historic cabin is sooooo cool. A herd of 30+ Elk were in yard when we pulled up to cabin. The charm of the cabin grew greater each day of our stay. The mountain setting and the sunsets each evening where a Montana treat. Important to note that there was bear spray for us to borrow and return (because we did not have to use it) in the cabin. We were fortunate to meet the owner as we were about to check out. Wonderful person.

Very much enjoyed our time there especially seeing the elk out front most days. Interesting home that’s been refurbished with care. Highly recommend this home in Gardiner and loved it was close to YNP entrance, Yellowstone Hot Springs and Gardiner. Everyone in our family loved it especially the large kitchen and several bedrooms and beautiful view on front porch.

Our family loved our stay here. Surrounded by enduring crafstmanship and whimsical details, we enjoyed a truly unique, memorable and authentic experience. We could feel the decades of love poured into the property.

Just a beautiful spot! Super close to shopping, restaurants and the entrance of Yellowstone. Gorgeous expansive views but not isolated as the pictures show. Cabin was a cool experience with surprises everywhere in the nooks and crannies. We enjoyed ourselves thoroughly.
