About this property

Mini-Moose Cabin-Best Value & Only Minutes to Yellowstone Park!

The Mini-Moose Cabin is a recently renovated/upgraded cabin which backs up to the Gallatin National Forest on a quiet dead-end street and only minutes from the West Gate of Yellowstone National Park. The neighborhood has a view of Lionshead Peak and the surrounding mountains of the Continental Divide. It has 750 sq ft of living space, including 1 Bedroom, 1 Bathroom, Laundry Closet with stacked washer/dryer, Large Open Family Room/Dining Room, Kitchen plus over 300 sq ft of covered side and front porches to enjoy the beautiful mountain views! This cabin is ideally suited to accommodate two adults with two to four children (Note: Groups including more than 2 adults require owner notification and approval prior to booking). Consistently rated favorably - e.g., "Great Cabin! The cabin was so cute, just the right size for us. It is decorated perfectly. The location is really close to the west entrance of Yellowstone, which was great!"

Decorated in a rustic mountain cabin theme with both new and antique furniture, fixtures and household items, the cabin features circle-sawn Douglas Fir flooring with knife-drawn edges, reclaimed barnwood wainscoting, knotty pine walls/and ceiling, wood burning stove, large windows throughout to enjoy the mountain and forest views, covered front and side porches, etc. And don't let the size fool you - this is a VERY comfortable open-spaced cabin with some of the best mountain views in the area!

For large family or friend gatherings, we have other rental properties immediately adjacent to the Mini-Moose Cabin - e.g., the newly constructed Lazy Moose and Mountain View Lodges! Check them out at VRBO and the link below and if interested in renting one or more of these properties during the same calendar period, be sure to ask about our 'Village' rates!

Perfect!

Mini Moose cabin and its hosts, Laurie and Kevin exceeded our expectations in every way imaginable. The cabin was very clean, comfortable and well equipped. The front porch has 2 big, comfortable chairs and a great view of the night sky. The location is convenient to Yellowstone, but far enough away from town to allow for really dark skies and natural surroundings. We especially enjoyed the cooler that we used every single day, allowing us to have food and drinks whenever we wanted while traveling through remote areas of the park and when we went riding off road on the National Forest trails. Last but not least we were so glad that we asked for and followed Kevin’s recommendations on how to make the most of our time in the area.

Outstanding in Yellowstone

Fantastic from start to finish!! Communication was great with Kevin, the cabin was very clean and cozy! It is in a perfect location, away from hustle and bustle of Town, but close enough to make an easy drive to dinner and entrance to Yellowstone! We will be back to stay and maybe next time with the whole family in one of Kevin’s other larger properties

Yellowstone first timers

Mini Moose was just as advertised. Clean, rustic yet modern cozy cabin that was so nice to come back to after each day in Yellowstone. About 15 minutes from the west entrance and easy to find. Kevin and Laura were always a text away with any concerns and questions.

The location of the cabin is located west of West Yellowstone. It is small but equipped with the necessities and has a washer and dryer. The host communication was exceptional and sent great information about Yellowstone to help plan your ventures. I highly recommend this property.

Great get away

The Mini Moose cabin was just the perfect fit for our trip. The Cabin was quaint, cozy ( loved the wood floors and great kitchen). Cabin was stocked with everything you need. It is a close drive to the West Yellowstone park entrance. Kevin, our host was awesome and very attentive. Thank you for the welcome info and all the great tips. A perfect couple cabin, private with an easy lock box check in and check out. Thanks!

Great stay!

We simply loved our stay at the Mini Moose. It was close enough to Yellowstone to be convenient for park access yet also removed enough for us to feel isolated from civilization. The full kitchen was great and the kiddo loved the bunk bed.

Great accomodations!

We had a wonderful time staying at Mini Moose and exploring the Yellowstone area. Beautiful area with venues in Montana, Wyoming, and Idaho close at hand, including Yellowstone NP. Awesome! Cabin was thoughtfully appointed, clean, and well kept. Our host was great, answering questions as they came up and providing plenty of good info before we even checked in. Location was super, giving us the feeling of being in the woods without being miles in the middle of nowhere. Within a mile of the trail ride and rodeo venues! A wonderful stay with lots of great memories. Thank you!

Cabin in the Woods

We really enjoyed staying at the Mini Moose Cabin. It had all the amenities to feel like home except it was a cabin in the woods with all the joy that being in the woods brings! We spent all our time in Yellowstone so the location was perfect, about 8 miles from the West Entrance. Kevin was extremely helpful in answering any questions we had. We will always remember our time spent at the cabin in the woods!

Wonderful Cabin!

The cabin exceeded our wishes! It was the perfect size for myself and my husband. The cabin was fully (and I mean fully) equipped with everything that you would need for a stay. Kevin, the host, was easy to get a hold of and very responsive. The cabin was only 10 minutes from the west entrance of Yellowstone and 5 minutes from the town of West Yellowstone. I would highly recommend this cabin to future travelers. Cliff and Tammy George

Beautiful cabin for our vacation!

We had a wonderful time at this cabin in West Yellowstone. Check in was very easy as Kevin sent instructions via email then followed up via text to ensure we had the information. The cabin was extremely clean and so beautiful. It was the perfect spot to rest in the evenings from our long days fly fishing. I would love to visit in the winter to use the wood burning stove! We were impressed that even though the days were hot while we were there and the cabin didn't have a/c, it stayed extremely cool when we kept the windows open during the evening and closed them during the day. The location was great--close enough to town and the park that we could get to them easily, but also away from most of the crowds. I would definitely recommend this cabin to anyone visiting the area!
