Everything about this beautiful cabin is perfect. The location could not be better as is sits atop of a hill where you can see mountains out of every window. It is so close to the entrance to Yellowstone, Gardiner and not to far from Livingston. Everyday we saw the Elk herd from the balcony. It had everything you may need to make your stay comfortable from the bed, full kitchen, cozy blankets to the nice dining and living room furniture. The hosts were kind and welcoming.
We are so grateful we stayed here.

We loved staying here. It was so quiet and pieceful and not far from Yellowstone, where we spent our days. I'll never forget the first morning when we woke up to find the place surrounded by a heard of elk. We just opened all the curtains, made coffee, and sat and enjoyed the view as they picked their way past and had their own breakfast. It was a magical experience for my family. I hope we can come back another time.

We really enjoyed the house and all of the extras provided to make our stay more enjoyable. We all loved the horses, the views and how close it was to the north entrance of Yellowstone! Thank you

My family of 5 stayed at The Overlook” at Little trail creek cabins and it was perfect for us. The cabin was clean, cozy and had amazing views. This cabin had everything we needed and Shawn was so lovely and responsive to us during our stay and leading up to our stay as I had a few questions. Its about 10-15 minutes from the Yellowstone Hot springs which my kids loved after a long day of exploring Yellowstone. It’s also 7 minutes from the town of Gardiner and the North entrance Yellowstone. We spent the mornings on the front porch drinking coffee with amazing Mountain View’s then off to explore Yellowstone National park. We came home in the early evening to eat and relax and it was perfect. Shawn also has items for kids to play with, a trampoline and other items for purchase. If you need ice they have it too! They’ve thought of everything, we will be back and I highly recommend it!

This property & the owners are so great! The view is incredible! We sat on the front porch & enjoyed the view of the mountains everyday. The trail behind the property has a creek running through it. It’s so peaceful! The drive to Yellowstone is only 10 minutes. The elk herd moved through the property every morning & evening too! The owners are very sweet & friendly. Also, the horses & dogs made the stay extra special! Loved it!

We had a wonderful time staying at this cabin. Perfectly sized and even more perfectly located to Gardiner and the Yellowstone north entrance. The hosts were great at communicating and everything we needed was there, including a wealth of info in the cabin book. Loved sitting on the porch to watch the weather and wildlife! Our whole family loved it.

Our family really enjoyed our stay! It was the perfect home away from home for our trip. Laundry on site, beautiful gas grill, full kitchen and quality bedding. We loved that they have everything you need for a great day at Yellowstone at your fingertips. Tour guides, bear spray, cooler, zip lock bags, ice, etc. There are plenty of businesses open in Gardiner to shop, grab coffee or dine in on your way into or home from the park. We adore the area and hope to return!The owners are on site very friendly and helpful. Thank you again!

Everything about this place is amazing! Very well decorated and immersed. in western original Montana Wyoming style and decor! Great location to Yellowstone and Gardiner for quick meals and entrance into the park. Everything has easy access to get too. Very comfy place. Had at least 10 to 20 elk within close view every morning from the kitchen and living room windows . Gardiner is a hidden gym . Had all the amenities we needed .Great views of devils slide and valley. Beautiful sunsets every evening . Beds were very comfy. Make sure to bring your binoculars to see wildlife up and across the mountain. Shawn was very attentive to our needs and quick to respond thru texting. Very worth the value ! Looking forward to staying here again and looking forward to our next trip to Yellowstone !

Cabin was great, just as described. Views were amazing. Owners were great. Saw lots of wildlife. North Entrance to Yellowstone was still closed when we were there so we had to drive to the West entrance. Would definitely stay in the cabin again.

We spent a week in the cabin. The five-minute drive to Yellowstone's north gate made it an ideal location. The town of Gardiner was also a great place to stock up. We're from the city and it can be difficult to find fully-stocked markets in the area, like we're used to. But Gardiner Market was one such place and only a stone's throw away from the cabin. The views from the front porch were picturesque to say the least. It was always worth stopping to take it all in before leaving out in the morning or returning in the evening. We also visited during elk rutting season and the field across the road was full of them for several days. They were also often in the yard of the cabin during the morning hours. When the elk weren't there, the horses that also reside on the property were there to greet us (shout out to Iron Hide!). There's a great little trail that runs behind the property. It was a nice, simple hike to take at the end of the day. While we never saw any bears during our stay, we did see signs of a large predator in the area. The cabin provided bear spray, which was sincerely appreciated. We never ventured away from the cabin on foot without it. The cabin, itself, was perfect for us. We traveled with two dogs and they loved it. There are windows everywhere. The loft bedroom is surrounded with them. At night, we'd open them and the breeze made for excellent sleeping. Any appliances or utensils we needed during our stay, the cabin provided. We were able to make several home-cooked meals. We could not have asked for a better base camp for our trip.

This was absolutely the best place for our family trip to Yellowstone! It exceeded our expectations for the view from the property and of the wildlife. The little extras were very much appreciated, like a well-stocked kitchen, and a bag of beach towels packed for a trip to the nearby hot springs. This host has thought of everything.

I’be visited Yellowstone several times. This property is a really great location because you are close to the north entrance. The cabin we stayed in was very nice. It was clean and they had all sorts of personal touches that I appreciated. If you forgot something it was likely they had it there. We got upgraded to a much larger cabin than we needed which was very nice and I’m future years we will utilize this cabin with extended family. They were great with communicating and making sure we were set with our stay. We were able to enjoy some nice hiking inside the park, horseback riding and white water rafting through a place in Gardiner. Definitely recommend this place to stay for your Yellowstone trip.

This is a beautifully done cabin with all the amenities you would need for your stay. The hosts are so friendly and hospitable. You’re staying on a working ranch with wild animals outside your door. What more could you want for an outdoors vacation. Minutes to the N entrance to a Yellowstone but walking outside your door you’ll find the same animals!

Perfect location immersed in nature
This cabin is set against a mountain backing up to great hiking in a federal forest. We were a little anxious about not having AC, but the owners' advice to close windows and curtains during the day and open at night kept the cabin very comfortable. Elk frequently passed our windows and grazed near the cabin. The smoke alarms went off during the night for no reason, but the owners quickly fixed the issue with new batteries. We'd definitely stay here again.

Our family of four thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Lookout cabin. Everything was very clean and it offered everything we needed for a 5-night stay. The pictures don’t do it justice - the views are amazing and we enjoyed sitting on the porch every night watching for wildlife.

Perfect stay at Yellowstone
Wonderful stay second week of June with my family of 5. Experience of watching the sunset over mountains on front porch was beyond photographs. Kids loved feeding the horses. Shawn was super accommodating and the cowboy cookout was superb. Whole family had a wonderful stay.

A Montana Summer’s Night Dream
This was the perfect cabin to enjoy our first time Yellowstone experience. Surrounded by stunning views, it is located outside of Gardiner. The cabin was perfect blend rustic modern and had detailed touches such as plush robes, cooler (which came in handy for picnics) and s supplies. I highly recommend this kind family and their beautiful cabins to make your Yellowstone vacation extra special.

Great house!
We loved staying in this house so close to Yellowstone. The house was very comfortable and spacious. The house was built with great attention to detail. The kitchen had everything needed. The views from the porch were great - enjoyed seeing the elk across the street and the kids enjoyed visiting the horses on the property. We wish we had been able to stay longer at this great house - would highly recommend.
