Cooke City Mountain House. Beautiful Views! 4 Miles to Yellowstone. WiFi, HDTV.
About this house rental
Your Cooke City Mountain House is the ideal vacation home rental to enjoy the northeast corner of Yellowstone National Park and the Absaroka-Beartooth Mountains. Make this your relaxing basecamp or personal private retreat summer, fall, winter, and spring. Why stay with us? The views! Enjoy sweeping mountain views from the upstairs living, dining, kitchen, and large deck. There are two stories, a loft, and a large private yard for everyone to spread out and relax. Walk to all the services in town. The house is well located on the main road, mid-town toward the quiet end, and sits at the back of the property, offering privacy from Main Street. Stay just one night! We don't require a multi-day stay, and we don't charge an additional cleaning fee. Due to COVID-19, we are taking extra care to disinfect frequently touched surfaces between reservations. Amenities: A south-facing cathedral ceiling and window wall invite the outside in. The great room, eat-in kitchen, master bedroom, and full bath are upstairs to take advantage of the sweeping 180-degree park and mountain views. Watch the weather roll up the valley, the sun's light painting the face of Mount Republic and the Fin, while you cook in the fully-equipped kitchen. French doors open to a large deck, where you will enjoy spectacular sunrises and sunsets. Sip your morning coffee at the built-in bar and plan your day's adventures while the mountains, valley, and town wake up. The home also offers a large open loft area. Downstairs there is a common area near the wood stove with a futon couch, a 3/4 bath, two more bedrooms, and a laundry room. We offer unlimited Wi-Fi, satellite TV, landline phone, dishwasher, and washer and dryer to provide all the luxuries of home. There is also a large private yard with lawn, and off-street parking. Location, location, location. The Cooke City Mountain House is four miles from the Northeast Entrance to Yellowstone National Park. Head into Yellowstone for the day to watch wolves, grizzly bears, bison, and elk in the world-famous Lamar Valley. Drive east, and you're on the Beartooth Highway, described by former CBS correspondent Charles Kuralt as "'the most beautiful drive in America." If you survive the drive and continue to the other side of the Beartooth Pass, you can enjoy the quaint, historic town of Red Lodge, Montana. You can also day trip over the spectacular Chief Joseph Scenic Highway to Cody, Wyoming, and visit the Buffalo Bill Museum while enjoying Western hospitality. Endless activities await. Walk to shopping, dining, bars, and the Cooke City Montana Museum and Chamber of Commerce. Hike, backpack, and fish from the door, and disappear into the wilderness. Mountain bike dirt roads and trails to scenic destinations. In the winter, ski directly into the Absoroka-Beartooth Mountains. You can also snowmobile right from the door to all the trails outside of town, no need to trailer your machines or drive to parking areas in town. What do you want to do today? We can help you plan your visit. Please get in touch! Highlights by season: Spring: Quiet! Crazy weather, snow to sun to rain. Best time to watch wildlife, baby animals! Ski and snowmobile, or hike, depending on which way you go. Park roads begin to open. The road east of Cooke City to the Chief Joseph Scenic Byway (Wyoming Highway 296) usually opens the first weekend in May. The Beartooth Highway (US Highway 212) usually opens the Friday morning of Memorial Day weekend, depending on weather. Summer: Roads are open. Wildflowers are out. Prime visitor season. Opportunities are endless. Fall: Quiet! Fall colors. The Beartooth Highway closes early October, and the road east of Cooke City to the Chief Joseph Highway usually closes soon after. Park roads begin to close. Winter: Wonderland! Ski, snowmobile. Watch wildlife in the park's Lamar Valley. Tip/Caution: Yellowstone National Park is huge! It has five entrances, and Cooke City is at its Northeast Entrance. The road to Cooke City from Gardiner, Montana, through the park is open year-round. The road from Cooke City east to Red Lodge and Cody is closed to vehicles (open to snowmobiles) during the winter. Cooke City currently has no cellular phone service. Throughout Yellowstone, cell service is limited, and Verizon cell phones get the best reception. If you are visiting the area for the first time, please get in touch with questions.

We stayed here with a group of six for our annual backcountry ski trip. It's our fifth winter visit to Cooke City. Like most of the houses in Cooke, this place has a bit of an unusual layout, but it works and is very practical. The kitchen and living space are the highlight of the house with an amazing view of the Fin and great afternoon light. The coffee shop next door is a gem with a nice selection of books. The owner of the house was extremely accommodating and easy to work with. For those with kids, there is a loft that they would love (probably not ideal for adults). Would definitely recommend.

Exceeded our expectations for our ski trip/ birthday celebration. Bill had great communication and the cabin was more than enough room for 8 people. Very special spot and property. We love your home and Cooke City!! Will be back.

We just completed our most recent stay at the Cooke City Mountain House for our annual snowmobile trip. As usual, we had a great time and the Mountain House was key to the success and enjoyment of our trip! It is a great place to stay! Highly recommended!! The Blackford’s are great hosts!!

Awesome, comfortable and easy access to everything! The only thumbs down is both bathrooms had previously used bars of soap. Other than that, what a great place, we’d stay again! Thank you!

The place was excellent. Very nice. Only issues were we were trying to find in the dark with no service. Was a bit of a challenge given the cabin is actually behind the main street address through a fence. Other issue was no bath soaps were in the cabin - no shampoo, conditioner, or body wash.

Cooke City is a cute old mining town. The house was a good stopping point after our flight in Billings. It is just a few miles from the northeast entrance of Yellowstone.
The house worked for our family of 4. Plenty of beds for everyone. The entrance is actually behind a store on the Main Street, so it was a little confusing, but we found it.
We went in early October, but a lot of the stores and part of Beartooth Hwy were already closed for the season.

My family and I stayed one night at this property and it was perfect. (6 adults) We wanted to explore the Lamar Valley of Yellowstone both at dusk and dawn and having the ability to rent this property for one night was sincerely perfect. We were comfortable, slept well, and enjoyed the location. Cooke City is tiny yet had everything we needed. It was great.

Comfortable stay with everything we needed for a family trip to Yellowstone! Excellent jumping off point to hit Lamar Valley for sunrise and sunset with enough options nearby for food and gas! Fast WiFi was great for catching up after a day at the park. Would definitely return :)

Home/cabin has plenty of room for family and was super clean. Has a great view of mountain peaks right from the deck. Easy access/parking and everything Cooke City has to offer is within walking distance. Less than a ten minute drive to Yellowstone Park entrance, or head the opposite direction and explore the Beartooth Pass area. One evening we even had a Bison wander thru the neighborhood. Definitely give it a thumbs up!

This is a great place for families or groups We were two couples and it was perfect. Each had their own room and bathroom, one upstairs, the other down. So we had lots of personal space. There were more beds if people were willing to share bathrooms. We enjoyed the deck. The kitchen was fully equipped. Definitely planning to book again.

We stayed here to have quick access to Yellowstone. This house was the perfect location. We got to enter and exit the park each day through the beautiful Lamar Valley where you are guaranteed to see wildlife!
Check in was easy, and the host communicated with us very well. The house was clean, cozy, and well-stocked with everything from kitchen essentials to bear spray! We particularly appreciated the numerous books and guides on Yellowstone, which we used to plan our days in the park. The beds are very comfortable, and the water pressure in the showers is great!
Cooke City is a wonderful little town. The General Store and Wooka’s Wild Eats are a must-visit! Both are very close, in fact everything in the town is within walking distance.
After getting back from the park each day, we enjoyed spending time on the large deck and watching the sun set over the mountains. This was a trip we will always cherish, and we are so glad we had this beautiful house as our home-base for the week. I highly recommend!

Stayed for two nights on our road trip from Alabama. Loved the Cabin, it was very clean and lots of space. Hopefully we will get to return one day. I highly recommend this place. The owners were very nice and helpful with instructions for checking in and out.

We loved staying in Cooke City because it was so close to the Lamar Valley portion of Yellowstone. After our days in the park, we would grab dinner in Cooke City and then head back into the park for an evening drive to see wildlife. Each night we saw bears, foxes, coyotes, etc…The house was great. There’s a coffee shop to the left and a general store that was affordable to the right. Our kids enjoyed the dart board, and there was plenty of space in the house with three levels. We’d stay again.

Our family of 5 stayed here for one night on a trip from New York State. The house was very clean. It was comfortable and had a spacious main living area with a comfortable couch that fit all of us for a movie night, a fully equipped kitchen, and a great deck with a view of the mountains (perfect for our morning coffee, which we got from the coffee shop directly in behind the house)! The host left clear instructions and provided a comfortable home away from home!

Enjoyed Cooke City, just minutes outside of the park.

The property was clean and well furnished. I think any trip to Yellowstone should involve a stay of at least 2 nights stay outsise the northeast entrance because of the amount of wildlife in the lamar valley.

WLoved having a place we could stay before heading into the Lamar Valley early (5:30 am) this morning. We could also do laundry from the first part of our trip. Dinner was within walking distance for us and we could easily prep our breakfast and lunch for the next day!
Communication was well done too.
