Lamar Valley Mountain Cabin

Lamar Valley Mountain Cabin

10/10 Excellent
"Communication with check in and out was more than excellent! We asked if there was an air fryer in the kitchen. There was not, but 5 minutes after I asked, one was ordered!!!! We were so happy!!!! The bedrooms and bathrooms were great. The cabin is accurately described. The location is perfect for exploring the east side of Yellowstone and the Beartooth Highway. We loved hanging out on the back deck in the evenings. I recommend staying in this cabin to everyone! We will definitely love to stay again!"

"Parking is difficult and not many dedicated spots on the street. It is very remote and was only used for one night while traveling through. Not a lot of options in the area so your choices are limited. As expected it is an old property and don’t expect cellar in the town."

10/10 Excellent
"We absolutely loved the house!! Stunning grounds and amazing decor!! Everything you could possibly need or want was available for use, especially in the kitchen! I loved the details accounted for like the beach towels for the hot tub and the laundry baskets for carrying clothes. The owners communicated quickly and thoroughly to emails which was appreciated. We didn’t realize until after booking there are 2 other rentals attached to the house. It really wasn’t a problem but something that should be included in the listing. We loved the sauna, the hot tub and the convenience of the washing machines. There was a moldly smell in the hot tub as well as the washing machines but overall the house is immaculate! We wish we stayed longer!"

"Very nice property on the edge of Cooke City, situated directly on Soda Butte Creek. Property is very well cared for, with wonderful amenities for visitors. You are a 10 min walk to downtown Cooke, and a 15 min drive to Yellowstone North East Entrance. We enjoyed the Sauna, Hot tub, and laundry onsite. We loved the quiet atmosphere with views of river and mountains."
