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.

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.

Cowboy Cabin mini spring break

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.

Excellent Property

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!

Cozy cabin on the slopes with great views

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.
