About this property

Silver Willows Sarva Cabin on 4 Acres by the Creek

Get away from the highway! Silver Willows "Sarva" cabin is located on the south side of Soda Butte Creek on four acres, getting you away from the traffic that runs through town. It features many of the comforts of home with a mix of rustic charm, and is a great home base for visitors to Yellowstone and the Beartooth Wilderness.

- Our sister cabin, "Ursa" (the Bear, VRBO #929453), is also available for rent on the property. Ursa is perfect for smaller groups, or you can rent both cabins. A stand of trees separates the cabins on the property, maintaining privacy for our guests.

This cabin is named for Sarva, the moose constellation of the Sami people, and is located on the western, wooded half of a 4 acre property.

This cabin is found in the small town of Silver Gate, Montana, 1 mile outside of Yellowstone National Park’s northeast entrance and 3 miles down the road from Cooke City. The Silver Gate/Cooke City area is popular with wolf watchers (the Lamar Valley is a short drive away!) and park visitors looking to get away from the hustle and bustle of the larger border towns, as well as winter sports enthusiasts who come to take advantage of the recreation opportunities in the Beartooth Mountains.

Silver Willows is situated away from the highway on 4 acres of woodland bordered by Soda Butte Creek, which runs through the property on its way into Yellowstone National Park. The cabin sleeps up to 9 people on two queen sized beds (1 in the master, 1 in the loft) plus a queen sleeper sofa and twin bunk beds, all with memory foam mattresses. There is also a full sized futon. Please note that any guests beyond 6 people will invoke the $30/night (per person) extra persons fee.

Whether you want to enjoy the wonders of Yellowstone, a quiet picnic at the creek or a snowmobile ride in winter, Silver Willows is the perfect getaway.

November in Yellowstone

We came to Yellowstone for peace and quiet as well as an outdoor adventure. We found it all with this cabin, warm, cozy, quiet and well equipped! Saw some moose nearby the cabin and access to a nice hiking trail (snowshoe or cross country ski if more snow) right from the cabin. We’ve stayed before and couldn’t be more pleased!

Excellent Silver Gate / Cooke City Cabin

This was my 4th trip to the Silver Gate / Cooke City area with my family and I can say with certainty that this was the nicest cabin we have experienced. The furnishings are in great condition and all of the furniture, beds, etc. are comfortable. The location is private yet walkable to some of the shops/restaurants in Silver Gate. We had some deer in the yard a few mornings and you have a nice view of Soda Butte Creek outside the kitchen window. We had a few questions when we arrived and the owners were very responsive and helpful in getting us squared away. It was perfect for our family of 4 and the kitchen has everything you need to prepare home cooked meals. This is a wonderful home and the owners care about the guest's experience.

Very cozy and clean cabin. We are from alaska and felt right at home in the cabin with the rustic-outdoorsy decor. It was on a beautiful creek. The owners responded very quickly when we didn’t follow directions about how to get in. Would 100% recommend staying here.

Fantastic location and cabin

Lots of room to hang out with family and disconnect from social media. Quick ride to Lamar Valley where we saw wolves, grizzlies and black bear. The trip into YS is quick with minimal traffic. The towns of Silvergate and Cooke City are pretty cool spots to hit “real” general stores and talk with locals.

Silver Gate Gem

We absolutely loved the Sarva cabin in Silver Willows at Silver Gate! The cabin had everything we needed and was a perfect fit for our family. The communication with the property owner was prompt and great! We even had wildlife on property to watch from the large window at the breakfast table - a momma moose with her baby and a bison! And location, location, location, just a mile from the NE Yellowstone Gate! We would definitely stay here again!

Excellent experience at Sarva Cabin

Our Silver Gate experience was a great one. The cabin was comfortable and clean. We were well stocked with towels and linens and enjoyed making meals there. Nature provided a doe and two mule deer fawns we saw frequently. One afternoon a bison walked through the yard. The Sarva Cabin was perfect for the four of us. A wonderful experience.

Absolutely Perfect

We loved this home...great front porch, beautiful interior, and everything you could possibly need while staying in this VRBO. Morning coffee and happy hours on the porch each day. Just minutes away to the NE Entrance of Yellowstone Park and to Cooke City. Quiet, relaxing, the perfect, secluded location. Max responded to any questions I had and was so helpful. Can't wait to go back!

Wonderful Property

The cabin was special. A home away from home. Fully equipped with anything and everything you would want. It was quite spacious and beautifully decorated. Situated a bit off main road in Silvergate, and sits amongst pines. Wonderful location with easy access to Yellowstone. While enjoying morning coffee, a moose walked by kitchen window! Something I will never forget. Will definitely be booking this cabin again. Definitely will book this cabin again.

Great rental

Great rental. Clear directions for how to get there and what to do. I also loved that they provided bear spray just in case. Only reason I didn’t give 5 stars is because it’s not nearly as secluded as the description leads you to believe, which was important to me. Otherwise everything was amazing!

This is a place you will want to own. The attention to detail was fantastic. I asked the members of our group how they would rate the stay and all but the 9 year old gave it 5 stars. The 9 yr. old would see a buffalo walk on water and rate it a 4.9 because she figured the buffalo could not swim.

About the host

Hosted by Max and Jenn

Host profile image
Jenn and Max are based in Seattle, but were annual visitors to Yellowstone for many years before choosing to build a cabin near the park. Max's work as a nature photographer drew him to the natural wonders of the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem, and the cabin was "a really good excuse to visit more often."

Why they chose this property

We were very fortunate to find a property that was so close to the park, is filled with trees, has mountain views and even has Soda Butte Creek running through it on the way to the park. It really felt like being in Yellowstone despite technically being outside the park boundary. Seeing moose grazing in our willows or spying one of the town foxes hunting in the meadow really makes us feel at home in nature. Even when we're tucked inside, we're constantly peeking out the window to see if any of our wild neighbors have come by to say hello.

What makes this property unique

The cabin is in a great spot. Positioned on the opposite side of the creek from the highway, our guests are able to enjoy a fair bit of peace and quiet. During winter, visitors can ski out from the cabin, or ride their snowmobiles onto the Bannock Trail up to Cooke City and the backcountry. With so much of the property growing wild, we love going for peaceful walks along the creek, brushing past the moose's favorite willows and walking beneath the pine trees as woodpeckers tap away and squirrels gather food.
