Four couples recently rented the cabin, which is really a 1970’s era house for 2 nights, situated about 5 miles from the north entrance of Yellowstone NP where we skied. The house which consisted of 2 bedrooms and a bathroom both upstairs and downstairs was roomy, fairly clean, and comfortable. We appreciated being able to cook breakfasts and dinners in the kitchen, sit around the table for our shared meals, and relax in the living room afterward, with a beautiful view of Electric Peak out the front window. The owner permitted a member of our group to bring a well-behaved dog, which was much appreciated. The house, however, needed a bit of attention. Top sheets on beds were missing; the kitchen needed basic necessities such as napkins, paper towels, dish towels and some good hot pads; cat hair was on some of the beds; and the owner could not provide a wifi password that worked. Yet, given the positives about the house, our group had a major concern about this place. Collectively, we were most concerned when a member of our group took her dog for a walk in the early evening and discovered an active, baited trapping area. Later we saw that this area was checked by a man in the morning and evening carrying a pistol, yet there was no warning about any of these activities to our group. Because the house sits on several acres, we anticipated skiing around the area, taking walks, and letting the dog outside, but after finding the traps on our own, we became concerned about our safety wandering around the land. We were horrified at the thought of an animal being trapped during the night so close to the house. We were later told that the traps were set to catch coyotes who killed their cats. Traps do not discriminate, and other animals in the area (wolves, bobcats, fox, etc.) could all easily be caught! We were quite surprised that the owners think this is a good way to run a vacation rental just outside of the national park boundary where most people come to view the wildlife. We would never recommend this place to anyone, and would urge anyone looking into this rental to check on the trapping situation.
