    This is a beautifully done cabin with all the amenities you would need for your stay. The hosts are so friendly and hospitable. You’re staying on a working ranch with wild animals outside your door. What more could you want for an outdoors vacation. Minutes to the N entrance to a Yellowstone but walking outside your door you’ll find the same animals!

    This listing is exactly as described. The property had a lot of extras that made our stay easy and special - s'mores kit for the fire pit, bear spray, extra batteries, sunscreen and bug spray, games for the kids. We would stay here again!

    You can read all the reviews you want, but this is the one you don’t want to pass on! Everything is exactly as, or better than expected from the location, bedding, amenities, all basic kitchen items, Shawn’s place is truly a gem. The kids obsessed over the horses and Yellowstone wildlife in the yard, jumped on the trampoline, ran around the property, and had an insanely good time when we were not in the actual park. There are few to NO places you can rent in this area that offer so many perks in this price range. You will not be disappointed here! We were in the park within 10 minutes every single day! So convenient and peaceful— Gardiner at your fingertips without staying on the busy streets! Loved every minute. Would not hesitate to stay if we come again!

    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.

    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

    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.

    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.

    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!

    The Lookout Cabin exceeded our expectations by far! It’s in a perfect location and has all the amenities needed. Our host Shawn went above and beyond to ensure we had a great experience. The guest book was a great help! We had a wonderful time and can’t wait to visit again.

    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!

    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.

    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.
