About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire cabin to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Gateway To Yellowstone Park And Outdoor Adventure. FREE internet and cleaning.

Escape to the Cozy Cabin, a charming retreat nestled on over half an acre of treed land, offering ample parking for your cars, trailers, ATVs, and snowmobiles. Step inside through the spacious mudroom, where you can shed your adventure gear and utilize the full-size washer and dryer.

The well-appointed kitchen, featuring a new microwave and induction range with oven/air fryer combo (updated for the 2022 season), flows into the open living and dining area. Unwind on the plush sofa, wrapped in a cozy blanket, as you enjoy the warmth of the fireplace or watch a movie.

The Cozy Cabin comfortably sleeps up to 10 guests across four bedrooms, each equipped with its own heater for personalized comfort. Two bedrooms are conveniently located off the living room, while two more await upstairs. Fresh linens adorn the beds, with spares available in the first-floor linen closet. One upstairs bedroom opens onto a large covered porch with a table and benches, perfect for enjoying the serene surroundings. The other, dubbed the "Cub's Den," delights kids with two bunk beds, a TV, and a DVD player—granting you some well-deserved peace and quiet. A fold-out bed in the living room sofa provides additional sleeping space.

Stay connected with complimentary high-speed internet (100+ Mbps). Two bathrooms, one fully remodeled for the 2021 season, offer showers, toilets, and sinks, stocked with fresh towels—extras are available in the linen closet. The fully equipped kitchen includes cooking essentials and select spices, while a propane BBQ grill awaits outside. Gather around the fire pit, encircled by trees and log benches, for memorable evenings under the stars (just bring your own firewood and food).

Adventure beckons beyond the doorstep. The West Entrance to Yellowstone National Park is a scenic 30-minute drive away. Ride ATVs or snowmobiles directly from the driveway, embarking on journeys of any length—even over Two Top Mountain to West Yellowstone, Montana. Fishing, boating, kayaking, and canoeing are just minutes away, with several restaurants and a grocery store in town for convenience or a night of "Eating Out"—our favorite recipe!

Explore boundless outdoor pursuits, all within a short drive from the Cozy Cabin, your perfect home base for an unforgettable getaway. Check out our YouTube channel for a closer look: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC3ED0-3WhM3dRMTITiVD3RA

Cabin in the Woods
Beautiful cabin and location in the woods! 25-30 minutes to Yellowstone's West entrance so very convenient. Kitchen was very well stocked with everything we needed plus some! Saw 2 moose one evening right outside in the driveway around 6:00 pm. Thank you!

Yellowstone vacation 2024
We stayed at this home for our trip to Yellowstone in August 2024. The home was reasonably priced and 30 mins from the town of West Yellowstone. We found the description of the home to be accurate, however there are a few things that bear mentioning. The home was clean and the one issue we had with cleanliness of a carpet in an upstairs room was handled by the owner. The problem is that the furniture is older and the couches definitely show signs of wear and use. Because the home has no air conditioning, it smelled musty when we entered. I definitely feel the couches should be cleaned. The home has no dishwasher - a fact that I overlooked when booking. This is not necessarily a problem except that renters are dependent on how clean the previous renter was. We found "sticky" mugs and dishes and the cutlery was not as clean as I would like. A dishwasher would be a welcome improvement to ensure cleanliness of kitchen items.The final issue we had was that the owner only allows two bags of trash per check-out. Other trash has to be dealt with by the renter. The owner does include clear instructions as to where to take the trash but it just felt cheap. We were traveling with an infant and a toddler and diapers alone filled two trash bags!

Nice and peaceful
It was a nice place to be and share with family. We visited Yellowstone and stayed here. We were able to cook our meals and enjoy each others company. I will say the coffee machine is different from what the picture is online. Although it said it took pods we did not see where or how. Maybe we just didn’t know how to use it but it is a different machine than what’s listed. We did see some cute squirrels around the place. We did enjoy that we had options on how to cook things. Loved that they had a bbq grill to use. I would recommend this place. It’s very peaceful outside. I enjoyed sitting outside. I don’t drink coffee but I imagine others would enjoy sitting outside sipping on some coffee. Oh and the shower pressure was so lovely! I never tried the one connected to the kitchen but the one from the living room was very nice.

Property well located for visiting Yellowstone (our primary purpose) and fishing. House was clean except for trash from previous renters that was not removed. Also grill was dirty. House is furnished well and is close to a good market, that except for early in the week was very well stocked. It is a comfortable cabin and I would definitely stay there again. Additionally, the owners were great to work and communicate with.

Cozy Family Stay
We stayed here so that our young kids would have room to run around and have their own room, as well as a kitchen and outdoor space. It was the perfect spot! The kids absolutely loved the bunk bed room (which was full of toys they were so excited to play with.) The kitchen was very well stocked with any utensils and pans you’d need, and the grill and fire pit outside made it a great place to hang out! The beds were very comfortable, as well.

Beautiful location, a little small
While there are 4 bedrooms, there are only 3 full size beds and the other is a bunk room. We had two couples and two singles, and one had to sleep in the bottom bed of a bunk, which was very small. Other than that, we loved our stay. The main living area is great for eating, board games, and movies, and the location is very nice and pretty.

Clean and fully functional
It was one of the best places we stayed at! The pictures were very accurate, all appliances were new and fully functional. Clean bathrooms, and bed sheets. We were away most of the time and we only arrived at the property after dark every single day, including the day of checking in, but in the short period we spent there, everything was as expected. We only used the 2 bedrooms on the ground floor, but combined with the ones upstairs there is more than enough room for larger groups.

A Beautiful Stay in the Mountains by Yellowstone
We booked this cabin because of its closeness to Yellowstone National Park. It was clean, comfortable, and nestled in a forest. Having two bathrooms helped as we had 8 people staying. We lit a campfire with the firewood that was neatly stacked by the owners. It was the perfect end to our spectacular visit to Yellowstone. We would definitely stay there, again.

A Fun Time
We had a great stay at this cabin for the week. As soon as we got there everyone was enthralled with the home vibe we got from the cabin. It was nice to stay at a place we weren't used to and we enjoyed sitting around the fire at night. Overall the experience was truly great and would definitely stay here again. Everything was accessible and it was nice to come back to a cozy cabin after a long day of exploring. Thank you for opening your cabin to us.

Cabin was well located but could use some updating.
The couch was very dirty the kitchen rugs were more than dirty. The back door would not shut and stay shut.
