Faqs

The cabin is located 35 miles from the north entrance to Yellowstone in Gardiner. The drive is stunning, with mountains on both sides of the valley and the Yellowstone River flowing down the middle. You can easily see elk, deer, bears, eagles, antelope, bison, and bighorn sheep along the way! Saloons, six or seven restaurants, several music venues, fishing, hikes to waterfalls, and shopping are within 10-30 minutes of the cabin! That is, if you get off the porch!!!
 

We live nearby! For fast response or an emergency, please call our co-host, Melissa. Texts are great too, but at night, you may not get a response until the following morning. We are available to give your car a “jump” or put air in a tire. We also have two EMTs who live in the neighborhood. 
 

Bozeman International Airport is one hour away; Billings Airport is two hours away. 

No, thankfully! We have lots of mule deer, gophers, song birds and birds of prey, red foxes, an occasional badger, or woodchuck, and elk from the northern Rocky Mountain range migrate down to the Yellowstone River right through our neighborhood, most often in the fall and winter months. A black-footed ferret and a long-tailed weasel have visited our cabins too, which is a rare sight! Rattlesnakes and black widow spiders are in the general area but have not been seen in our neighborhood. One must be wary when hiking or climbing on rocky hillsides. 
 

Verizon is the best cell phone provider in our mountainous area. There are areas with no service in a few places in the valley and in Yellowstone Park. This valley is located between two mountain ranges! We hope you are able to disconnect for your Montana adventure.

Our Wi-Fi service is provided by Wisp West, a local provider. They are dependable and seldom go down. Download speeds are between 8 and 20 Mbps, depending on the location.

We try to accommodate a guest if we can! Ask our super co-host, Melissa, at 406-589-8162.  We have four places that keep our cleaners hopping between May and September! 
 

Yes, we welcome pups, cats, depending on the place! There will be a small fee of $10/15 per day for one or two pets to a maximum of $45 for up to two weeks. There are small ranches around, and we ask that you restrain your pups from bothering the horses or going on the neighboring properties. Use your judgment as you know your pup best! Please do poop pickup in the immediate area around the cabin!
