Great place to stay while visiting Yellowstone. It’s just a short drive away from the park but far enough away to get out of the crowded area. The cabin was clean and comfortable.

The cottage was just as advertised. Very clean plenty of kitchen equipment . There were plenty of towels and the bed was very comfortable. If you are going to Yellowstone NP take Bill’s advice on timing and way to bypass traffic. We would def stay there again.

Great getaway to Yellowstone

We completely enjoyed the cabin. The proximity to Yellowstone National Park is less than 10 minutes. The cabin was clean, the kitchen had everything we could need. I wish the weather was a little warmer so we could enjoy the deck.

Great location and comfortable stay

We stayed two nights at the Kozy Cabin and found it to be a great place to come back to after a day in Yellowstone. Updated kitchen in a rustic cabin with a good amount of space. Nice that it's dog friendly as well with some walkable dirt roads around the neighborhood. It was just what we needed and Bill was a very responsive and helpful host.

Perfect Little Cabin

Ran the Yellowstone 5k and Half Marathon and the location was very close to start line of the race in West Yellowstone. Cabin was roomy, clean and in a great neighborhood. Enjoyed taking a walk in the evenings. Property manager was great and easy to contact. Would definetly stay at this cabin again.

Perfect little cabin for Yellowstone visit.

This is truly a rustic but clean log cabin. We loved the "vibe" and the big porch. Great for watching the stars at night. The kitchen had everything we needed and the bed was so comfortable! The plumbing was a little slow to drain but that would have to be our only "con" for this stay. The location is great... only 12-15 minutes from the West entrance to Yellowstone. The town of West Yellowstone was a great surprise too! Fun and touristy with great food and shops.

Enjoyed the property a little run down but still very cozy (it is the Kozy cabin after all). Full kitchen was nice but bring a gallon or two of water for drinking. Was going to take a bath but water ran yellow…decided to pass. Nice and private.

Underwhelming

The front door couldn't lock so we had to take all our valuables whenerver we left the cabin. The bathroom sink area had a strange smell which was unpleasant. Location was fine. Check in was easy. It was an older cabin that can use a little upgrade. Overall it was mehhh.

Cute little cabin for rusticating

This is a nice little cabin in a nice neighborhood. It is very convenient to West Yellowstone and Yellowstone NP. My wife commented that the stove and pots were the nicest we had during our six week trip (this was the 8th VRBO property we stayed in on the trip.) This appears to be an original log cabin with a couple of additions...very nice experience. Two complaints: 1) There is no door on the bathroom, only a curtain. (Not shown in the VRBO pictures.) This makes for very little privacy...even for a married couple. 2) The recliner is broken and needs replaced.

Cozy little cabin

This little cabin had everything that we needed to explore Yellowstone. We didn't spend much time at the cabin, other than late evenings, and it was perfectly cozy. The only thing that could have been improved was the communication on the actual location of the cabin. We didn't arrive until after dark, and maps directions doesn't take you directly to the location of the cabin, and the way it is situated was difficult to find. Not a single light was left on in the cabin for us, which made things even more difficult. Other than that little inconvenience, everything was fine. I would recommend this place for a couple, who's looking for a rustic place to stay close to Yellowstone.
