The Cabin was amazing - better actually. We found it more spacious than we expected, with the loft greatly adding to the experience because our youngest could sit up there and watch TV or just hang out. The on the slopes location cannot be beat. Views from the hot tub - surreal. We even got the bons views of New Year's Eve fireworks that people were shooting off everywhere.

The cabin was exactly as described, plenty of room for 5 guys, right on the mountain next to the Iron Horse chairlift. The hottub right on the slopes was magical. We had an amazing time!

Great to hear! Love it.... and please come back and stay with us again. Acra and Chris
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! The property was as described- clean, cozy, and an unbeatable location for ski in and ski out. We were able to stop by the cabin each day for lunch, and hop right back out on the slopes. Crazy convenient! The hot tub views were amazing and beds were comfortable. Would love to visit again; highly recommend!
The location of this property is perfection! The cabin was super clean. We enjoyed every second of our trip. It was perfectly located on the slopes so we skied in and out daily! We were discussing renting again next year, before our trip even ended!

The owner is extremely responsive to any questions presented while we were at the property. The cabin was well stocked and had in-date bear spray in the unit. The weather was awesome for the majority of the week.

Thank you so much for renting the Gold Rush Cabin from us! We hope you will join us again. Acra and Chris
Excellent location, beautiful cabin. Plenty of room. Enjoyed the kitchen filled with all the amenities. Only 15 minutes from downtown yet far enough to have cute foxes as evening visitors. Highly recommended!

Thank you for staying with us at The Gold Rush! Great to hear that you found everything you needed and it was a perfect "oasis". The fox is just a bonus :). We hope you will join us again! Acra and Chris
Very nice and location tops. Great and seamless check-in; communication was excellent.
The property was abundantly warm so turning off the bedroom baseboard heaters will help if a normal/cool room temp is favored.
Only disapointment was that the wood stove was not a wood stove, but rather a gas burner.
Would stay here again.

Thanks so much for staying with us at the Gold Rush Cabin. We agree, being right on the Powder River ski slope is "tops"! Just as advertised, it is a gas stove/fireplace and is the heat source for the living room and kitchen. We look forward having you back! Acra and Chris
There are so many things to love about this property. The views are spectacular, it's dark at night for fabulous star gazing, comfortable beds, spaces to spread out, lots of storage so your luggage can be hidden, great internet connectivity and every appliance we needed. The hosts are highly responsive. It is a 15-20 minute drive to most meal/grocery options, so you'll want to plan ahead. Beautiful daily drive to Yellowstone for our family. Highly recommend the premade meals at the Country Store at the bottom of the mountain. Nice staff, too!

Thank you very much for sharing your experience staying at the Gold Rush Cowboy Cabin. We agree, the location is fabulous and glad to hear that you had everything you needed for a great vacation. We hope you will join us again! Acra and Chris
We loved the location and cozy feel of the cabin. It is truly ski in and ski out. The gorgeous hot tub is on the deck overlooking the valley. Managers were very nice while replacing the hot tub. The interior is rustic and charming. The kitchen is modern. Great for our family of 5. Nice bedrooms although the loft has low ceilings and is not separated from the main room. Our only complaint was a very uncomfortable couch. But we had a wonderful ski vacation and would come back.

Thank you for staying with us at The Gold Rush Cowboy Heaven Cabin! Great to hear that you enjoyed the cabin, the awesome ski-in/ski-out, and the new hot tub on the deck.... the views are truly stunning. This is one of the only Cowboy Cabins that has a loft/ 3rd sleeping area. Thank you for the feedback about the couch, we will look into. We look forward to having you back to stay with us in the future! Acra and Chris
