    A sweet, clean and comfortable space, super convenient to the friendly town of Silver Gate and wildlife viewing in Lamar Valley. There’s a beautiful view of mountains, moonlight, and friendly foxes from the porch. We enjoyed our time there especially grilling on the porch. The ladder up to the loft is not bad at all, but be aware that adults can’t stand up straight in most of the loft space. And the living space is cozy if you will also have the sofa bed in use.

    We adored this spot and the views were incredible! Very close to town and to the park as well. Jack was really responsive to our needs and accomodating. The wildlife we saw nearby (a fox and 2 kits) was a highlight for my kids. We would definitely stay here again.

    Perfect location outside of northeast Yellowstone. We loved our stay. The cabin is remote but easy to find. The kitchen allowed us to make breakfast every morning before leaving for the park. Everything was clean and comfy. It's also right near Beartooth Highway.

    What an incredible location! We were visiting the Lamar Valley area of Yellowstone and you cannot beat a 3 minute drive to the park entrance. Besides location, this was such an ideal, secluded cabin that allowed us to maintain the slowed-down nature of our trip. Jack was very quick and helpful with communication, and the cabin was spotless. We had everything needed to make our trip comfortable. As a bonus, we saw a fox and 2 baby moose as we were driving up the driveway!

    The Back of Beyond was a fabulous cabin in the woods with a view of the mountains. It was easy to find…the pictures do not do it justice! It provided everything we needed, in a place we love, YELLOWSTONE. The host lives on sight and was very attentive to anything we needed. We would definitely stay here again!

    If you are hesitant about being remote, this isn't your spot. It's only 1.5 miles from YNP, Silver Gate is a must-see, the cabin is beautiful, the scenery is breathtaking, the creek that runs right next door was very calming, and the wildlife that visited us; nailed it! Great Place, great hosts, thank you for sharing it with us!

    Location is extremely close to the park entrance. We were there to mainly hike and fish. Cabin location and view were amazing. We were able to sleep, eat, relax, and efficiently enjoy the park. Hosts were very responsive with cabin needs and other information.

    The cabin is very clean and beautifully decorated with an amazing view to see the snow mountain and surrounded by pine tree forest and a small creek. It is very peaceful and in a quiet area on the back of the hill. Jack offers us warm hospitality. The guide book prepared by the host provides helpful information. My family including two kids had a fond memory there. Hope to come back and visit again. Thank you Jack!

    The Back of Beyond is a small cabin perfect for newlyweds or a young couple...there is room for a couple of children. It is immaculately clean with a small kitchen (no range - but microwave, fridge, Keurig and hotplate - it works!) The cabin is perched on the side of a mountain surrounded by soaring pines. A small creek runs beside it and wildlife abounds. Enjoy!!
