  I had the good fortune to rent the Trapper cabin for 4 months of winter 2013. The owners, Zig and Mallie, were friendly and helpful, ready to help out in any way they could to make my experience all that it was and made me feel welcome. It turned out to be a wonderful opportunity to spend quality time in the mountains, out in wilderness, and experience genuine solitude; it was just what I was looking for! Cooke City, one of the west’s premier snowmobile destinations, is just 17 miles or so from Crandall. It is only accessible by snowmobile in the winter but it’s a great place to get some pizza and visit town when needed; Cody is only an hour away. The cabin itself was perfect … just as you image it would be, a log cabin built by hand, next to a river up in the Rockies where wildlife was abundant. Moose, deer, wolf, were all part of my experience. It couldn’t have been more picturesque. The Clark’s fork of the Yellowstone River flows right in front of the cabin and has a wonderful walking path that follows the river for about a 1/3 mile or so, makes for a great walk. We look forward to our return trip this summer. Thanks again Zig and Mallie!

  We stayed in the Bear Cave Cabin for 16 days and enjoyed every minute of our time here. We couldn’t get over how peaceful and quiet it was at the property. Also, the mornings were usually fairly calm but then mid-afternoon a light to moderate breeze would kick in, making it very comfortable to sit on the river bank even when it was 80-90 degrees outside.Mornings and evenings we had campfires. The location is stunningly gorgeous, views of the mountains abound. We spent the vast majority of our time on the river, Stephen was amazed how quickly he caught fish. Also, the owners Zig and Mallie were very helpful in the reservation process and also in providing input on things to do. They also took us on a couple 4 wheeling excursions. The cabin is very clean and well supplied. It was easy to do some hiking right from the cabin, we especially loved going to the creek and the State lands. Cody is about 35 miles away, but the drive is very easy (not like switchback mountain driving) and would take us about 40 minutes. Cody has a Wal-Mart for a big stock up. Yellowstone is less than 1 hour from the property. You must take the drive to Red Lodge if you want an absolutely spectacular drive and don’t mind switchbacks and heights. We did see a lot of buffalo, elk and deer, plus 3 black kittens and their mama regularly made appearances (could have been the tasty meals we gave them!). There were very few bugs to speak of. Zig was very accommodating with information and let Stephen work with him on the sawmill and starting the building process of their new workshop/garage and caretakers structure. Mallie was right there working alongside Zig! Their property is breathtakingly beautiful and Zig and Mallie make you feel like part of the family. The pictures on the internet are true to life but being there is even greater. Zig and Mallie have given great thought and attention to detail to provide everything you would need to have a relaxed and enjoyable vacation. They even have a Cowboy Hot tub by the river! Zig's Indian inspired handicrafts were truly beautiful works of art. Thank you to the both of them for all they did! We would happily return again!

  Owner response: Yvonne and Stephen, Our kittens miss you so much. We miss you too. We are so glad when we hear that our guest love our place just as much as we do. We are looking forward to coming to Az. this winter to see you guys. Zig misses Stephen helping him on the saw mill (but not as much as I do) Still working on the shop!!! You were great renters and left our cabin spotless !! Thank You. Zig & Mallie

  Zig and Mallie have a heart so pure. A couple broke down while my wife and I were there and they took them in for the night. The next day Zig and Mallie fed them breakfast; Zig hooked up his trailer to the truck and drove them & their vehicle to Billings, over hours away. Zig and Mallie are sincere and their placed is like no other. We had a great time up and down the river just outside our cabin. We hope to return. Thank you Zig and Mallie

  Our family of 6 and friends of 4 stayed at the fishing cabin for 10 days. We loved every minute of it. The kids have all said they want to go back to the Cabin. Thank Mallie and Zig for all the fantastic memoires, we really loved it. I can still hear the kids laughter when we went to the Wedding of the Waters with the atvs. You are perfect hosts in a perfect settting. thank you.

  Driving to and from Wyoming to Maryland was very trying. Our son Ryan was coaxed into going on this trip. That feeling vanished when arriving at Zig & Mallie's, We knew immediately upon arrival that we hit the jackpot on picking the right place. You are the perfect distance from Yellowstone. We actually stayed in Yellowstone the night before we arrived at Zig and Mallie's place. There is no comparison. The topography in their location is even more beautiful than Yellowstone. As a professional gardener, I have never seen such natural beauty with regard to the wild flowers. We had planned to drive to Yellowstone the whole week. We wound up going there only two days. The rest of the days were spent in the Beartooth area. Stunning place! We usually travel in a motor home, but this time we traveled in a full-sized passenger van because of the distance and mountains. Staying at cabins where the hosts interacts with you on a personal level was very important to the experience in this fantastically beautiful wilderness area. The trip was everything and more that we could have hoped for. Zig & Mallie have an open invitation to visit us in our home in Pasadena, Maryland. They work very hard to make their guests experience affordable and memorable. The cabins are works of art. You will not be disappointed.

  Owner response: Thanks for the nice review Bonnie, hope to see you again and we will take you up on your offer when we are in Maryland. These people were the greatest guests, ever meet someone for the first time and it was like you knew them forever? That is these guys. You guys are family now and we hope to see you again. Thanks for the ideas for our rock garden! Zig

  Image: you're lying in your bed in the morning and you're looking outside through the windows and what you see is a snow-covered mountain top, beautiful meadows and untouched forest. All you hear is birds and the streaming of the Clark's Fork River. You're really away from city life. Stay away if you like shopping malls, come immediately if you want to experience a touch of wilderness! We stayed the whole month of May in the cabin. We slept heavenly in the comfortable twin bed in the cabin Zig & Mallie build themselves with logs from their property. On cold days the electric heating makes the cabin nicely warm. The cabin is basic but everything you need is there. We enjoyed cooking our meals outside. We had lots of space around the cabin, so we put one pick-nick table in the sunny meadow at the river and one under the shady trees. Zig and Mallie are great hosts, very helpful and respect your privacy. They are always in for a good story and can tell you lot interesting stuff about daily life in this remote area. And don't forget to climb Mount Mallie when your there.

  Owner response: Thanks for the great review, we are so glad you chose us to stay with for 30 days. You both were very good tenants and we hope you come back with the boys! Please tell all your friends in the Netherlands about us!
