About this property

Small guest cabin secluded quiet. Fantastic views into Yellowstone off the porch. Features a sleeping loft and a sleeper sofa. We adhere to dark sky’s the Milky Way is incredible There is no cell service in the valley. There is a small general store in Cooke City but no grocery stores. Stop before you get to the park to stock up. Because of our remote location electric power can go out often, we have solar backup power and to make that power last all the appliances are propane and there can be a slight propane smell if the cabin has been closed for several days.
