Grey Wolf Cabin - One Mile to Ne Entrance to Yellowstone Park
- Minimum stay:N/A
- Internet:Yes
- Pets allowed:Yes
- Wheel chair accessible:No
Located just one mile from the Northeast entrance to Yellowstone, Gray Wolf Cabin is the perfect place for wildlife watching in Lamar Valley, sightseeing in Yellowstone National Park, and trips to Cody, Wyoming and Red Lodge, Montana on some of America’s most spectacular roads. Lamar Valley has been called the Serengeti of North America due to the vast herds of elk and bison, and large numbers of pronghorn antelope, big horn sheep, coyotes, deer, mountain goats, grizzly bears, black bears and many birds including ravens and bald eagles. Since the reintroduction of the wolf in 1995, this valley has also provided almost daily sighting of wolves belonging to the Druid and Slough Creek packs.
Yellowstone National Park has one the world’s largest collections of thermal features. It provides an endless array of destinations, starting with Yellowstone Falls, Yellowstone Lake, Old Faithful and Mammoth Hot Springs. There are thousands of geysers, fumaroles, mudpots, and hot springs for you to view. Seasonally, you can also soak in a wonderful natural hot tub at the Boiling River just north of Mammoth Hot Springs.
For an adventure outside of Yellowstone National Park, a two-hour drive will take you to Red Lodge, Montana over Beartooth Highway, one of America’s most beautiful roadways. Red Lodge is an old gold mining town, which has grown into a picturesque ski resort with numerous shops and restaurants. Heading to the east, the Chief Joseph Highway over historic Dead Indian Pass provides a wide vista over the Rocky Mountains. Chief Joseph Highway will take you to Cody, Wyoming, where there is a nightly gunfight and rodeo during the summer season. The Cody Museum contains five different sections, including western artworks, a wing with exhibits on Buffalo Bill Cody’s life, exhibits of the Plains Indians’ lives, a firearms exhibit, and a large exhibit of the wildlife of the area.
The cabin is located on one acre of secluded, wooded land, bordering on National Forest land. You can end your day with s'mores around a fire in the fire pit behind the cabin. For a short outing, you can make the 5-minute walk to a 60ft high waterfall or take the Bannock Trail into Cooke City.

Loved this property! Beautiful home, great decor, and furnished with all the amenities and then some for what a couple or a family with large or small children would need. Games, books, snowshoes, we found nothing missing that we might need. Just bring your food and drink--truly. Everything else is there. Lots of room. Huge deck. Great views. All the local and greater area information you would need, including plant and animal identification guides. Clean and well-maintained. Not for those who need shopping malls, 5 star restaurants, and the big city crowds on their vacation. Positively great for those who want quiet, relaxation and closeness with nature. Definitely recommend without any reservations or concerns. Will stay here again!Recommended for: Families with young children, families with teenagers, romantic getaway, sightseeing, age 55+, adventure seekers.

I want to thank you again for the lovely stay at the Grey wolf cabin. It is such a lovely spot and the cabin was so well appointed. One morning we had a mother deer and her two fawns in the back yard. The location is so close to the park, we saw most of our wildlife in the lamar valley area. We saw a bear every day, including a grizzly feeding on a bison carcass and a mama bear and her two cubs. The alpha female of the lamar wolf pack took down an elk just south of pebble creek and not too far off the road. We were lucky enough to see 7 wolves feeding on the carcass. Such a memorable trip. We look forward to coming back again soon!Recommended for: Families with young children, families with teenagers, pet owners, romantic getaway, sightseeing, age 55+, adventure seekers, girls getaway.

Our visit was extraordinary. What a splendid cabin you have! It was perfect for us. We were amazed at all the amenities and your furnishings – absolutely fits our taste. We were fortunate to see wolves, grizzly and black bear in Lamar Valley, and spotted mountain goats above Silver Gate and on Baronette in the park.Recommended for: Families with young children, families with teenagers, romantic getaway, sightseeing, age 55+, tourists without a car, adventure seekers, girls getaway.

This is perhaps the nicest winter cabin we've ever stayed in. The place is immaculate, has everything you might want and is incredibly comfortable even when the outside temperature is well below zero. You can cross country ski from the cabin, a few miles up the road in Cooke City or down in Yellowstone. We often would ski most of the day and then do some wolf watching in the Lamar Valley. This year there were 2 packs visible on the hillsides almost every day and we also saw single wolves while skiing on the Chittenden loop near Tower and on the Blacktail Plateau road. Just an incredible place to unwind.Recommended for: Romantic getaway, age 55+, adventure seekers.
Owner response: Wintertime is the perfect combination of winter wonderland and wolf watching. So nice that you were able to enjoy both.

We're on the way back home after a wonderful stay in Silver Gate. Your cabin is the perfect location to be close to the wonders of Yellowstone, and comfortable when evening or weather sends you indoors. There is still wildlife to see out the windows---we saw moose, red fox, coyote, and squirrel passing through the yard. The cabin is cozy, the bed is extremely comfortable, and evenings reading about the area's sights, activities, and trails from your very good collection of books and maps was most enjoyable. We found the cabin had everything we needed for a perfect vacation. We can't wait to return! Thank you Christy for sharing this beautiful place.Recommended for: Families with teenagers, pet owners, romantic getaway, sightseeing, age 55+, adventure seekers, girls getaway.
Owner response: So nice to hear that our guests have enjoyed our books and reference materials at the cabin. I enjoy buying books about the flora and fauna of the area. We look forward to having you back next year.

We had smiles on our faces as we drove into the drive of the Grey Wolf Cabin. Our smiles remained as we walked through the front door and saw the homey interior with it's wrap-around deck and scenic views! It was better than the pictures. The kitchen was well-stocked, as was the cabin. Although we often cooked, we returned to a favorite restaurant of ours, The Bistro. We also tried the Beartooth Cafe for the first time and enjoyed it, too! The owner provided a well-organized binder filled with helpful information that also included local activities, attractions and restaurants. The cabin's library had wonderful, informative books about Yellowstone and the YNP area. The cabin was a wonderful respite after a long day of sightseeing. The comfortable porch swing would beckon us when we walked into our "home away from home!" The Grey Wolf Cabin is the best cabin we have rented thus far. Family members vacationing with us agreed! It will not disappoint!Recommended for: Families with young children, families with teenagers, romantic getaway, sightseeing, age 55+, adventure seekers, girls getaway.
Owner response: It is always nice to hear that our guests enjoy the cabin as much as we do! I am glad that our library on Yellowstone was a help in learning more about the environs. Hope to have you back soon!

From the time we pulled up to the cabin we knew we'd made the right decision based on location alone! A cabin in the woods! Not to mention the proximity to my happy place - Yellowstone. You cannot go wrong renting this property. The furnishings, bedding, etc. are comfy and the kitchen has more than you'll ever need/use in the way of utensils for eating/cooking. We spent so much time in the park and beyond, that we didn't get to have as many fires in the outdoor fire pit as we had wanted to. We were visited by many birds, squirrels and, one early evening, a fox on the deck. She was a beautiful little thing. While in Yellowstone we saw wolves, coyotes, grizzlies, black bear, moose, etc. Oh yeah, and the ever-present bison. Doug M. is a great info resource and SO, SO nice. If you are looking for putt-putt, family style restaurants and shopping, this is not the place for you. If you love nature and adventure...look no further. I absolutely can't wait to go back. Hey Christy....what's the chance you'll rent to us by the month? Thanks so much for sharing your incredible cabin with us.Recommended for: Families with young children, romantic getaway, sightseeing, adventure seekers.

We were very happy with our stay at Grey Wolf. The location of the cabin was wonderful, surrounded by mountains, trees and wildlife. The cabin itself was comfortable and roomy for our family of five and offered us the much needed storage room for all of our belongings, including coolers and hiking gear. Conveniently located near the northeast entrance of the park, we often spent our mornings in Lamar Valley watching wildlife. We would recommend this place to family and friends.Recommended for: Families with young children, families with teenagers, adventure seekers.

My wife and I researched and planned our trip to the YNP area for nearly a year. We searched for the perfect accomodations near the NE entrance to the park as we are wildlife watchers and this area was where we wanted to spend most of our time. I had nearly given up on finding a private setting which was as near to remote as possible but with ammenities and comfort of home. We absolutely did not want to stay a week in a small, crammed up motel type setting or share a lodge with other people. I luckily happened on the Grey Wolf Cabin owned by Christy and Paul Gerrits on VRBO. We fell in love with the pics of it on the internet but were still skeptical about maybe it being too good to be true as we have experienced before. This place was heaven and the owners are so very professional and honest. Their hospitality is unsurpassed. Christy stayed in touch with me by phone and email for a few months prior to our arrival, giving us tips and recommendations for our stay and it was a tremendous help. She even called the cabin to check on us during the middle of the week. The little town of Silver Gate is a quaint little town with very unique people and they too, welcomed us. The area is fabulous for wildlife, scenery, and history. The little waterfall behind the cabin is wonderful as you can easily hike to it and can even hear it on quite nights while you sleep. You are right on the Bannock trail which is peaceful, rich with history, scenery, and wildlife.We saw coyotes, deer, and a bear in the yard of the cabin. Bring your binoculars, camera, your hiking shoes, and your bear spray. I would recommend this cabin to anyone and we do plan to return one day. The owners are first class.Recommended for: Families with teenagers, pet owners, romantic getaway, sightseeing, adventure seekers.

There's no place like a home in the woods. To call Grey Wolf a cabin is almost an insult, yes it's in the woods and you can sleep there, but it's more an oasis and the walk to the waterfall is just down the road. Grey Wolf is so beautiful and is well stocked and has wildlife all around it. Do Not pass up the opertunity to stay here. It says one bedroom, but a whole family could live in the hugh lot upstairs. The house has all the aminities one could possibly want or need. Thank you so much Christy for sharing your home with us. I truely hope that we can make this trip again...soon!!!Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 9/9
