Marcia’s cabin was perfect for our needs. It’s near our favorite areas of the park as well as the Beartooth and Chief Joseph Highways. The cabin is well equipped and comfortable. Marcia is a fabulous host. She lives next door, but you’d never know it. She’s available to answer any questions you may have. In fact, we loved talking to her! She is a wealth of knowledge about fishing in the park. We hope to return some day!

Pros: close to NE entrance, quiet town, comfortable, cozy clean kitchen, nice washer & dryer, nice deck, convenient use of garage, nice fireplace with good pine wood, beds were made and everything appeared clean and neat.Cons: fridge rang an alarm for three days woke us up all night, blowdryer had a 6” cord impossible to use, “shampoo” was half used old hotel shampoos, “queen” bed was terribly uncomfortable, more in town than the listing leads to believe, no access to a creek as in listing, shower ceiling peeling off and caulking is in bad shape, stairs very steep.

Response from VrboOwner on Sep 20, 2026
I am sorry this renter found issues which I do not think are the owners responsibility. This is a house rental, not a motel room. The shampoo there was left by a former renter. I do not supply shampoo and personal products, only soap. The hair dryer does not have a 6" cord. It is one of the retractable cords with a button that says retract, thereby implying it can be pulled out. The queen bed is firm, most people like firm. We have 4 other beds that were not in use. maybe another one would have suited better. There is always a manager on the property and each renter has their phone number and that of the owner. If any issue like the ringing alarm on the frig happens a phone call to either number would have solved the issue.

This felt like a home away from home. It was so cozy and the bed was so comfortable! I haven't slept that well in a long time. We even had a fireplace for those chilly nights! The location was wonderful, for quick access to the park and Lamar Valley. Silver Gate is such a cute little town. Last but not least...the host! Marcia is so welcoming and has spent 34 summers in Silver Gate/Yellowstone. She has a wealth of knowledge when it comes to the park, great fishing spots and the history of the area. She has so many great stories to share. She made our stay even more special! We can't wait to go back!

This cabin is wonderfully close to the Northeast Entrance to Yellowstone which makes it so quick to get to the Northern part of the park. The cabin is charming, delightful and has a very vintage feeling and look. I loved the log walls and the artwork on the walls. The host, Marcia is very quick to respond and provided answers to all questions I had almost immediately. She is an established author and gifted us with one of her books on Yellowstone, which was very appreciated. There is a resident caretaker if the host isn't there to assist with anything you may need. They live on site in a separate house, but you would never know anyone was there until you need something and service is immediate. We enjoyed the house and our stay very much and would indeed return to this cabin in the future. If there is one recommendation I would make it would be to update the listing on the VRBO website. As it reads now, it states 1 car garage is available, but the host does keep a car in there, so it really wasn't available for us to use, It was one of the reasons we did select this cabin as we do prefer to keep our rental cars in garages. However, it is only a suggestion to update the listing to account for lack of a garage. It didn't deter from the home nor would it impact any future bookings, it's a wonderful home in a great location. Thank you Marcia for everything.

Lynn, It was equally delightful to have you as our guest. You left it very neat and easy to do weekly cleaning. I do hope you will return again next year when I am able to be there and meet you and remove my car from the garage as usually it is parked in front of my apartment. Have a wonderful healthy and happy year. Marcia

Marcia was a great hostess - very communicative, helpful, and responsive. The cabin is comfortable and spacious. We had less than 5 minute access to the northeast entrance of Yellowstone national park and were able to drive through the Lamar valley early every morning and see tons of wildlife, including bison, foxes, coyotes, grouse, and grizzly bears. Awesome trip of a lifetime!

Perfect home base for NE Yellowstone adventures

This home in Silver Gate was a perfect base for our family to explore Yellowstone from the Northeast entrance. Marcia is a very gracious host & met us at check in to go over the home & how everything worked. She made great recommendations on things to do both inside & outside the park. It was an amazing trip that our family will not forget. We loved it!!

Wonderful property

This property sits right in the small town of Silvergate just outside the entrance to the park. It was a perfect rental if you want to enjoy beautiful surroundings in Montana and Yellowstone park. Marcia, the owner/host could not be friendlier and more knowledgeable about the area. She was fantastic and everyone in the area knows her. The home was comfortable and welcoming. I would definitely look to rent this property the next time we visit this area!!!

FANTASTIC PLACE TO STAY

I cannot say enough about this rental. Marcia was great to deal with; communication was responsive and informative. The house itself is perfect for those visiting Yellowstone Nat.'al park, esp.if you want to be close to the wildlife rich Lamar Valley. Marcia was always helpful as to things to do, places to eat, and always notified us of local wildlife sightings. If you get a chance and want a nice place to stay.....rent this house!

Perfect cabin one mile from NE Yellowstone entrance

My husband and I stayed here for a week while we visited Yellowstone, and had a truly wonderful experience! The cabin is beautiful, spacious, and immaculately clean. Fully stocked with everything you could need. The owner, Marcia, is a delightful person who goes out of her way to make sure the stay is special. Silver Gate is a charming little community, and very quiet at night. The cabin is just 20 min from Lamar Valley where we saw all sorts of wildlife. We enjoyed every minute of our stay, and hope to return next year.
