  Our family has stayed at many rental properties over the years...some have met our expectations; some have not. Silver Willows not only met our expectations; it exceeded them! The cabin was much roomier than we expected, especially for 1 bedroom/1bath. We were there for a week and enjoyed every minute of our stay. The first thing we saw upon arrival was a huge bison...he hung around most of the week we were there. We also saw several deer, squirrels, and a fox on the property. In the park, we were fortunate enough to see a grizzly, bald eagles, elk, bison, mountain goats, pronghorns and wolves. It's a trip we'll never forget!

  Fantastic experience in Silver Gate at Silver Willows, very well thought out property with views of the Soda Butte Creek. Bison and Blacktail Deer in the yard, lovely homely fire to come home to on cold autumn evenings. Everyone was really friendly in the local store - but do remember to take any fresh groceries (vegetables, meat etc) as nothing available locally.

  Silver Willows Cabin is situated in scenery that I can only adequately describe as breathtaking. If you're looking for a place to stay that is close to Yellowstone this is it! If you're looking for a place to stay that is close to Yellowstone AND affordable, you guessed it, Silver Willows is the place! You'll be in a new cabin (which has all the modern amenities you could possibly need!!), surrounded by forest and mountain ranges, spotting animals that you may have never seen before, or again for that matter. The Northeast corner of Yellowstone is perhaps the most wild and remote of the park, and being in this cabin you do really feel immersed in that atmosphere. My wife and I spent 4 days there that we will never forget. Thanks to the owner Max for providing us with all the pointers we needed in making our stay that much more enjoyable!

  This was the perfect place for our time in Yellowstone! The very first evening we were there a huge Bison sauntered into the clearing by Soda Butte Creekwhile we were eating supper. Our children loved checking out what wildlife had visited the cabin by identifying tracks along the creek. It was so great to be able to come back to the cabin each night and relax, cook dinner and watch for animals from the front porch. Max was wonderful, we were pleasantly surprised when he called our first evening at the cabin to make sure everything was in place for us and to give us tips on where to find wildlife. We loved our stay so much that we've already booked a second trip!

  My wife and I stayed here in August and were very happy with the place. It was immaculately clean and had all kinds of extras. The wood work is amazing and my wife and I both commented we would design a cabin just like this if we could have one. It had WIFI and a phone which was useful if you must remain in contact because there was no coverage for our phones. You are at the park entrance. This entrance is really quiet compared to others we have experienced. This town is really cool, but we did spend very little time in it since we were out from 8 to 8 most every day. Cooke City is just 4 miles up the road for anything you cannot find here and I recommend going to the gas station on the south-east side for more fair prices than in Silvergate. The cabin has a great kitchen which we used every night. The view out of the kitchen window is awesome with your coffee every morning. We saw fox and deer in the back by the creek from the window. Max wrote a really cool guide to hiking, fishing and site seeing in YSNP - you should read it on the first day with a cold one (beer I mean). I hiked the Pebble Creek Trail and recommend it. If you only do part of it I preferred the scenery (open) of the north end versus the south where I started (more woodsy). We also hiked Trout Lake(very short, fishing not good that day, but big fish can be seen), Thunderer, and near Slough creek - all spectacular. we had good fishing at the Warm Creek picnic area, which was quiet and also the end of the Pebble creek trail. There was a fresh carcass on our hike on Thunderer and heard wolves. Upon returning the Rangers shuffled us off and closed the trail due to the probability of Grizzlies showing up. We saw the wolves. Check out the field scope at the store across the way - the kid there let us view mountain goats way up in the peaks. Cheers, Shawn

  My family truly enjoyed staying at this property. It was clean, well equipped and comfortable. It was very peaceful and my boys loved playing in the creek behind the house. It provides easy acess to Yellowstone's Lemar Valley where wildlife abounds. Plenty of hiking in the area. Trout Lake recommended by the owner of this property was very enjoyable and we did see otters. Driving in the opposite direction we also enjoyed exploring the Bear Tooth Hwy. We also drove to Cody via the Chief Joseph which again offered spectacular views and enjoyed the museum and rodeo.

  This was perfect for our Family of 5. Very quiet and peaceful and only 1 mile for the NE entrance of Yellowstone. Cabin was clean and comfortable and Owners called the day we arrived to make sure everything was OK. Saw Bison and Deer from front porch of cabin. Kids found several animal tracks in the bank of Soda Butte Creek. While the bathroom/laundry area is well kept and clean, it is the only bathroom so we did run into a couple of snags with bathroom use, however, with some planning we were able to avoid most bathroom delays. Overall, one of the best vacations our family has had. I would definitely recommend this cabin to others.

  This was our second stay at the Silver Willows Cabin ... a perfect "home base" for exploring the wonders of Yellowstone National Park. The cabin is large and clean and comfortable - perfect for our family of 6 people. The cabin is literally just minutes from the Northeast entrance to the Park. Daily we spent time in the park or exploring the hiking trails around the cabin. From the front porch we watched bison, moose, and fox. We'll be back ...

  This cabin was excellent. We have stayed in many differnt locations areound the Yellowstone area and this is by far the best ! No one could be dissapointed by staying here. The location to the park was wonderful, you are in Lamar Valley before you know it and the wildlife was everywhere. The owner truely cares about his guests, fantastic communication both before and after our stay. Rent with confidence you will have everything you need at your finger tips, that's for making this a wonderful trip.
