About this property

Yellowstone Park - 1/2 Mile-Silver Gate

Wolves, bear, moose and elk abound in the Silver Gate/Cooke City part of Yellowstone and the Beartooth Mountains. There are beautiful mountain views from the back deck, and front windows. Some of the best native trout fishing in the world is minutes from the house. These include the Yellowstone River, Lamar River, Slough Creek, Soda Butte Creek, and the Clarks Fork of the Yellowstone. This is a summer rental only!
A great family day can be spent touring the famous features of Yellowstone or taking a day trip to Cody, WY to see the Wild Bill Cody Museum, a genuine rodeo nightly, a mock gun fight at the original Irma Hotel, good food, and many shops including the Sierra Outlet. Cooke City is 3 miles away for shopping, restaurants, ATV rentals and much more. But Silver Gate has quite a few sweet places too. The best time for animal watching is June and early July, while the best time for fishing is mid July through September. Hiking is fabulous anytime.

The house is clean, spacious and comfortable, with a large Great Room and fireplace, leather furniture, big kitchen with new black range top cooking surface and full size laundry with half bath on first floor. Second floor has two very large bedrooms with new carpet: One has two double beds and one single bed and the other has a queen bed and a single. This arrangement will sleep a family of six or 5 singles. Also, a nice full bathroom upstairs.

Outside there is a rear deck with gorgeous mountain views so close you feel like you can reach out and touch them. There is a grill and patio furniture for outdoor dining. There is also a very small stream in the yard which holds a few small native Yellowstone Cutthroat Trout. Very private yard.

About the host

Host profile image
My winter home is in VA, but Silver Gate/Cooke City has been my summer home for over 30 years. I will be glad to answer all your questions about nearly everything in the NW Yellowstone area; from where to go for wildlife viewing, where to fish, point you to horseback riding, and also info about Cody's museum and nightly rodeo.
Personally, I am a retired teacher and a life member of Trout Unlimited, and have received numerous awards from that organization. I currently write land and wildlife conservation articles, especially fly fishing and water conservation.

Why they chose this property

We are 20 minutes from the Lamar Valley of Yellowstone which showcases wolves, grizzly bears elk, deer, and many others depending on your interests and time of year and time of day to view them. This area is considered the best animal viewing in the Park often called the Serengeti of N. America.

Hiking in our area can be a wonderful family hike to Trout Lake which is than a mile long and takes you to a large lake with a walking trail around it, and besides getting to see huge trout there are also otters in the area as well.

The Cooke City/Silver Gate community is small and very friendly. We have a local non-Denominational Christian Church nearby, an ice cream/ gift shop, a small store that rents spotting scopes, and a family friendly Bar which closes at 10pm.



What makes this property unique

Our house is an insulated year-round home, but we are only a summer rental. June and September can have chilly nights and the house is warm and cozy no matter the weather. It also has been recently renovated with new laminate in the downstairs Great Room, and new upstairs carpet. Also, a new modern range top and full size washer and dryer. We are one of the closest residences to Yellowstone National Park in any of the gateway communities. In two minutes you can be at the NE gate. The Lamar Valley is 20 minutes and has the best wildlife viewing in the Park for wolves, bears, and bison. We also have nearby hikes into the Beartooth mountains, and local walks to waterfalls and the Absaroka Wilderness Area are just around the corner.
