The Lamar at Lamar Valley Cabins

A comfortable well appointed home in a wonderful location to visit Yellowstone. Views from the cabin are great! Very close to the Lamar Valley which is an excellent location to spot wild life. Many good hikes in close proximity to the property. Karen who owns the Cabin is very helpful and prompt in her responses. I look forward to staying at the Lamar Valley Cabins on my next visit to the area.

Your cabin was perfect for our family of six. We visited Yellowstone several times during our stay. It was wonderful to relax in the evenings at the cabin and watch the community Bison. Thank you for allowing us to make some special memories!

It was very cozy and the fireplace was great. Easy access to Lamar Valley and YNP.

The Lamar Cabin is a quality, comfortable and well-appointed home away from home. We chose the cabin to be in close proximity to the Lamar Valley and all the wildlife viewing opportunities it has to offer. The Lamar Cabin is just minutes from the Northeast entrance to NYP, but we found the wildlife viewing began even before we reached the entrance. We saw foxes right outside the cabin; heard bison padding down the road in the middle of the night; and photographed a moose crossing the street in "downtown" Silvergate.

The cabin, built by owners Jeff and Karen Hogan, is so well done! Not fancy, but tasteful, warm and welcoming. We brought in groceries (from Livingston) and cooked most nights. I had everything I needed for prep. Someone obviously put a lot of thought into organizing and equipping the kitchen. It was a pleasure to cook there. But on those nights when we wanted to eat out, we headed to Cooke City to the Soda Butte Lodge (and full bar) where we found some great burgers and tasty flatbread pizza. The menu is limited, but nice to know it is there if you need it. There were a couple of other options, but we stuck with the Soda Butte restaurant. Many of the restaurants and most stores are closed during the winter, but you can pick up a snack or a few incidentals and gas up the vehicle at the Exxon in the middle of town.

The Lamar Cabin was base camp for our day-long trips to the park. Once back, we would come into the cabin and turn on the gas fireplace, eat dinner and settle in for a cozy evening of reading or watching TV. Then, up the beautiful wooden staircase to bed! Lots of pillows, crisp white linens and heavenly mattresses made for a good night's sleep.

Cabin manager Jess made sure the cabin was impeccably clean and ready for occupancy! She lives just up the road in Cooke City and it was nice to know she was just an email or phone call away if we needed anything.

Booking was easy through VRBO, and once reserved, owner Karen was more than eager to answer our questions. She provided us with precise directions to the cabin and additional information to help make our stay safe and enjoyable.

We spent three days here to explore the Lamar Valley in winter. The house is extremely well build and was perfect for the cold weather. The beds and furniture were in great condition and all the well-insultated windows added to the beauty. It is well supplied and we would have been glad to stay much longer. The moose and bison close by gave us a very personal experience for how hard they work to meet the season's demands. We highly recommend this for a small family or group of friends.
