We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this lovely log cabin. Spotlessly clean when we arrived, stunning architectural features in the main room and loft, comfy beds, convenient bathrooms and kitchen. WiFi was great too. Note that this cabin is in town, so the surroundings are not woods but nearby trailers and houses, but we wanted that, since it has the advantage of making it walking distance (.5 miles) to restaurants and grocery. It's also right on the edge of Yellowstone Park, just a mile to the entrance, really convenient. Coming back to this cabin after a long day out in Yellowstone Park was always a pleasure. Great stay overall.

My family and I stayed at the South Plateau Cabin July 18 to the 21st, 2011. We really enjoyed our stay there. The photos were very accurate the property was clean and nice and well maintained. Justin was a very nice host and very helpful and answered all our questions. We had a nice time in Yellowstone park and went to the local rodeo which was a lot of fun. It was a nice quite and relaxing stay. I would definetly recommend this cute cabin to a friend or family members.

Very accurate description. Perfect location, off-street parking, and wireless Internet access. We had excellent communication with Justin about the reservation, on the arrival day and during our stay. We had to move to another residence because the cabin was booked for the rest of the stay, but we wish that we can stay for more nights! Thanks!

I stayed at South Plateau Cabin during the first week of summer, with my two sisters and my mom. The cabin description and photos are accurate. The location of the cabin is very convenient, being right in town, near stores and restaurants. The West Entrance to Yellowstone is so close, you could walk to it if you wanted. I have stayed at lodging inside the park before, because it seemed that I would not like to do all of the driving that was required if one stays outside of the park. I found that staying outside of the park is quite pleasant and convenient. I loved having a wide variety of restaurants and shops available to me, and I didn't mind the drive into the park each day. The road from the West Entrance to the Grand Loop is flanked by beautiful mountains, a river, and cliffs, and there are many opportunities for wildlife viewing. One day, my group decided not to go into the park, so we visited the Grizzly and Wolf Discovery Center in West Yellowstone and also went for a drive to Hebgen and Quake Lake. Both activities were very enjoyable, and it was on the Hebgen Lake Drive that we saw bald eagles, pronghorns and a wolf. The South Plateau Cabin was very clean and well-maintained. Justin Gale was very helpful from the time of my first inquiry to the time of checkout. He's very welcoming and easy to work with. I highly recommend this property to anyone who wants a clean, spacious, and comfortable place to stay with a group of 4 to 7 people while visiting Yellowstone National Park.

My family and I loved this cabin! The property is very well represented on the website. What you see and read is exactly what you get. Justin and Marley were great hosts. We will be back and I've recommended the cabin to my family and friends.

Justin is very accomodating with our requests. He even provided us rice cookers and a blender for a special dietary needs!! The place is super nice just shown as in the pictures. The location couldn't be better and is within easy access to old faithful and all other park locations. We had a wonderful stay in the house with a big party of 7 people. So close to nature yet so we felt so comfy in the cabin after a long at the park. Highly recommended.

My husband spent a good amount of time looking for places to stay while vacationing in West Yellowstone and he found the absolute perfect cabin ever (we are actually going to try and mirror it when we build our cabin). The pictures were right on target but actually being in the cabin was a feeling a picture could not have portrayed. The cabin was clean, laid out well, soft towels, and lovely bedrooms and bathrooms. The wood was ready to start a fire in the gorgeous fireplace, (and he always had more wood for the next day) a great kitchen for cooking, a nice table for games after dinner, and he was kind enough to have a clean gas grill for our use. Justin was more than helpful, he was kind enough to spend some time with us and very knowledgeable on places to go and see, not to mention his dog, Marley was a treat to have visit as well (we missed our dogs at home). When we talk about our trip to others, we recommend this cabin without hesitation. If we make the trip again, without a doubt, we will stay at the South Plateau Cabin again. Thanks Justin for the perfect place to end our perfect days in West Yellowstone. Go Packers!

We were in yellowstone in the last week of sep and our stayhere was very pleasant. We visited with m parents and my lil one who is 2. The house was big enough for all of us wih a spare bedroom which we did not use. The parks west entrance was a 5 min drive and hence very comfortable for a quick drive. Also the house is located in the town o west yellowstone so all the stores wre at a walking distance which is really helpfull when travelling with a baby. All in all a very good experience and we would lve to go and stay back.

My family of four is very glad to have picked South Plateau Cabin for our three-night stay in West Yellowstone (August 2010). The house is very nicely furnished and decorated, with an appealing blend of western rusticity and stylish comfort. Everything felt clean and new. Linens were so comfortable I'm Googling the brand of towels to buy for home. Kitchen was perfectly stocked for making simple meals -- which we would have done more if we hadn't discovered the terrific Running Bear Pancake House just one block away. The cabin is in a quiet but rather charmless end of town, but that's okay -- you want pretty scenery, head to Yellowstone (minutes to the entrance). Overall this was a great stay, and if we're lucky enough to return to the area we would definitely stay at South Plateau Cabin again.

Literally in the heart of downtown yellowstone! Convenient to groceries, downtown shops, and just down the road from the park entrance. Host is exceptionally acoomodating and friendly. Better than a hotel. Included: toiletries, pots, pans & even a gas grill with picnic table out back! Are already planning to stay again during winter months for snowmobiling in and out of property! Can't say enough! Exceptional!!

Owner response:Sherri and family were great. Absolutely hassle-free and very nice to the house. I love talking with people who are excited about the area. Its easy to forget how great living up in Yellowstone country is and its nice to be reminded of that with appreciative houseguests.
