About this property

Authentic Custom Cabin, 17 miles from Yellowstone National Park

In the 1870s 'Yankee Jim' built a toll road leading to Yellowstone National Park. In the 1880s, the Northern Pacific Railroad completed a rail line that competed with Yankee Jim's route, and eventually forced him out of business. This historic cabin, artfully restored, is along this route.

Just 17 miles north of Yellowstone, it offers a taste of a bygone era and great proximity to the treasures of south west Montana. Expertly landscaped, this property allows you privacy without the inconvenience of a remote location. Perfect for singles or a couple who value character, history and authenticity in their choice of lodging. This is truly a one of a kind property.

A studio cabin with a separate bathroom/laundry area. The space is meticulously planned and perfect for a single or couple. Four areas in each corner define the main living space.

First, a small seating area with two leather chairs, small marble side table, and a dresser with a big screen TV (DVD's only).

Second, a built in bench on the southern and eastern walls with cushions and a large wooden table on wheels, perfect for dining or creating.

Third, a small corner kitchen complete with all the necessities and beyond: stove, range, microwave, coffee maker, cutlery, glassware, plates, bowls, cooking ware, placemats, and a stainless steal refrigerator.

Lastly, the comfortable queen bed with high quality bamboo sheets, bed side tables, reading lamps, and contour pillows.

The bathroom is separated by a wooden door. The bathroom has a toilet, spacious shower framed in rail road ties, stackable washer and dryer, and a beautiful marble vanity with an artistic twig framed mirror.

We have an outdoor BBQ for outdoor grilling along with a small antique prep table.

The cabin is surrounded by a vibrant, organically treated lawn as well as rock tiers of flowers, trees, and shrubbery. The rock terraces are well kept and make sitting outside very enjoyable.

The entire studio is yours with off street parking and a beautifully manicured lawn. Please park on the small gravel lot in front of the stone step pathway.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

We love this cabin near Yellowstone! This is our second time staying here and it was just as special. It’s close to the park but remote enough to have that Montana feel. The house has everything we needed and love the washer and dryer. We can’t wait to come back!

The cabin was beautiful inside and out. The decor was spot on with the Montana life style. The shower was awesome and the bed was very comfortable. We enjoyed coffee in the morning, watching the sun rise above the mountains. after a long day in Yellowstone it was relaxing to come back to a very nice cabin and decompress.i would stay there again if we went back .

Montana cabin

We enjoyed our stay at the cabin. It was perfect for my husband and I. We enjoyed fishing all day and then relaxing on the front porch with a beverage. The cabin is super comfy and they have thought of everything to make us feel at home. We loved the bathroom and loved having a washer and dryer to use.

Perfect cabin for two!

We stayed here while visiting Yellowstone NP, cabin was clean, well-appointed and BEAUTIFULLY decorated. Bathroom was awesome and loved having laundry on site. Bed was comfy, linens plush — had one of the best nights of sleep I’ve had in a while here! Quiet and secluded-feeling while still a quick trip to the park. Highly recommend!!
