    I have stayed here many times. A beautiful location that is peaceful and tranquil. Close enough to the town and great fishing. My favorite place to stay in West Yellowstone.

    At first we were concerned about the distance to the park entrance, but we realized quickly that 7 miles is nothing. We actually appreciated being a bit removed from the busyness of downtown. The house was just right for us - comfortable, clean, and quiet. Although we seemed to have internet coverage in theory, I couldn’t really use it.

    My son and I enjoyed our stay in the Mini Moose Cabin. It gave us the nice, cozy, quiet environment we were looking for. My 9 year old son's only complaint was poor Wifi, but, I imagine options there are quite limited for Wifi. Also, internet connection is not why we made the trip. The owners displayed excellent communication.

    Mini Moose cabin and its hosts, Laurie and Kevin exceeded our expectations in every way imaginable. The cabin was very clean, comfortable and well equipped. The front porch has 2 big, comfortable chairs and a great view of the night sky. The location is convenient to Yellowstone, but far enough away from town to allow for really dark skies and natural surroundings. We especially enjoyed the cooler that we used every single day, allowing us to have food and drinks whenever we wanted while traveling through remote areas of the park and when we went riding off road on the National Forest trails. Last but not least we were so glad that we asked for and followed Kevin’s recommendations on how to make the most of our time in the area.

    Fantastic from start to finish!! Communication was great with Kevin, the cabin was very clean and cozy! It is in a perfect location, away from hustle and bustle of Town, but close enough to make an easy drive to dinner and entrance to Yellowstone! We will be back to stay and maybe next time with the whole family in one of Kevin’s other larger properties

    Mini Moose was just as advertised. Clean, rustic yet modern cozy cabin that was so nice to come back to after each day in Yellowstone. About 15 minutes from the west entrance and easy to find. Kevin and Laura were always a text away with any concerns and questions.

    The location of the cabin is located west of West Yellowstone. It is small but equipped with the necessities and has a washer and dryer. The host communication was exceptional and sent great information about Yellowstone to help plan your ventures. I highly recommend this property.
