Aspen Cabin near Yellowstone - horse rides,zip lining, rafting, hiking

I can't say enough good things about this ranch! It was amazing! Our family was just there for vacation. We had five adults and four kids. The kids aged from 1 to 11 years old. They had plenty to do at the ranch! I was really impressed with everything in the cabin. The kids had toys to play with, books to read and an outside play area. We didn't have to pack the pack'n play because they had one there for us and a high chair! It was great!

The first night there the elk were out bugling. The kids were just amazed. The next morning the elk were still out so we watched them for a couple of hours. It was great!! We only had a short drive to Yellowstone every day. There was so much to see between the ranch and Yellowstone it was a nice drive to make. We spent an entire day at the ranch. We started with a hike in the morning. The views were amazing! After the hike we made lunch then went on a horse back ride. The kids loved it! Luke was our trail guide and he was very nice and good with the kids. We defiantly recommend this ranch!!

My family stayed here for our Yellowstone trip, and we are glad that we did. The home as awesome and the views and ranch were absolutely beautiful. Stacey and Rob are wonderful hosts that are very helpful in answering questions and giving tips on the park and other activities in the area. We also did a horse back tour on the ranch as well, which we all enjoyed. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful for first time riders. Also they were really good with small children. The ranch is located a easy 20 min ride from the North entrance to the park and was very nice to come back to a nice bed after a day of hiking the "hills" seeing the sights of the park. Definitely will be back!!!

After much deliberation, we chose this property for our family trip, and were absolutely delighted! Close enough to Yellowstone's North Gate Entrance to take daily trips, but secluded enough to feel away from it all. The property was well-maintained and comfortable, the views were spectacular, and entire family could not say enough about the wonderful staff and Stermitz family. The only reason we hate to share our satisfaction is because we want the property to be available for our next trip! We don't want it to become TOO popular!

We were there for a special family gathering that we had talked about for years. All 3 of our grown kids had worked in Yellowstone summers and more while they were just out of high school or attending college. Two of them met their spouses there. Our first night at the cabin we were treated to a huge lighting show over the Gallatin's, Huge incredible bolts along with incredible thunder and rain too, We hadn't seen any rain for some time due to the drought in California so we appreciated it.

The cabin itself was perfect for our 11 folks, everyone was pretty comfortable and the kitchen although small did a good job when it came to meals. Every day we would go into Yellowstone and view the park sites but we liked driving back to the cabin. Driving up the windy dirt road was a bit challenging but doable. After a few days in the cabln it started to feel like home - we were there for 5 nights and loved every minute. Would like to return to the cabin again someday and stay longer.

Special thanks to our kids Christopher, Denise and Becky for making the experience happen. And special thanks to our daughter-in-law Gay Marie for winning the writing contest which really made this trip happen as it did. Our 5 grandsons, Langston, Evan, Peyton, Blake and Ben loved their stay at the Mountain Cabin and they plan to ride horses next time.

Went with three families and the cabin was great. Everyone had a bed. We took advantage of the horseback riding, river rafting and the zip line. We ate farm fresh eggs watching the horses in the upper pasture as the sun came up over the mountains. We were lucky enough to be there during a meteor shower and Big Sky Montana is perfectly nicknamed. There was a wild bear that ran across the road as we were coming back one night after having not seen one in Yellowstone park. The only warning is that the road up is very winding but the views are breathtaking. The cabin was comfortable and kitchen was well provisioned with pots, pans and utensils.
