Lamar Cabins are simply the best!

Another great stay in the Lamar Cabins in Silver Gate, a quintessential very Montana town! Perfect location-just minutes from the northeast entrance to Yellowstone. But even better is this amazing cabin itself-with everything you could ever need, including breathtaking views. Comfortable, cozy & so thoughtfully appointed. Kitchen has EVERYTHING you could need to prepare a meal or even bake a cake! Beds are comfy with lots of extra blankets & pillows. And soooo many towels. Love the ability to use the washer/dryer; makes packing light possible & no dirty laundry to do at home after your trip:)Wish I could live here year-round! Our hosts Karen & Jeff are always so responsive and generous. Always love staying here & always sad to leave as well

Cozy Cabin for Yellowstone trip

This was a very cozy, relaxing cabin very close to the north east entrance of Yellowstone National park. We saw bison and mule dear right from the kitchen window on multiple days. The host was easy to communicate with and the cabin was very clean. I would definitely stay here again. It was great driving through Lamar Valley every day to get in and out of the rest of the park we saw a lot of wildlife this way.

Great Yellowstone Visit without the Crowds

We chose to stay in Silver Gate due its close proximity to Lamar Valley and the small-town atmosphere that you just can’t get at the resorts within Yellowstone. While this did mean a bit more driving, we preferred the location for our family. We thoroughly enjoyed the space the Lamar House gave our family of 5, the kindness of the towns’ people we encountered, and the ability to walk around town and listen to the babbling brook/river. The house had just about everything we needed (we did have to use paper towels to filter coffee as there were no filters so maybe ask before you come which ones you need) and was very clean. We highly recommend breakfast at the Log Cabin Cafe and dinner at Silver Gate BBQ…both so good. The general store has some necessities and souvenirs you won’t find in the park. Overall, an excellent place to stay for our family vacation to Yellowstone!

This was the perfect place to stay for our visit to yellowstone. The cabin was very cozy and a nice quiet little town. The Northeast gate is so easy to get in and out of as an added bonus.

Great place

The house is cute and clean and comfy and was ideally located by Yellowstone’s NE entrance for quick access to the Lamar Valley, which is what we wanted. We liked having restaurant options in Cooke City as well as right across the street. Upon arrival, we learned the whole town was out of power due to a storm. It was not an ideal start to our trip, as we also didn’t have running water. It was a bit rough, but power was restored in the middle of the night and things were comfortable after that. We would recommend this house to others.

Yellowstone Trip

We came back to Yellowstone again this year. Stayed in Cooke City last year and loved the area, so we decided to try Silvergate. We loved the house, it was easy to find, comfortable and clean. We loved the special touches in the bedrooms. The kitchen was well stocked. We would stay again!

Family vacation

For our family of 10, the two houses - Lamar and Silver Falls - were perfect! Gave us the space and beds we needed to accommodate all; just could not have worked out any better! We had no need to contact the property manager or the owners during our stay. We are looking forward to returning next year! We have only two suggestions: improve the walking path between the two homes and replace the BBQ grill at the Lamar house. Overall: Wonderful for us!

Very beautiful cabin in the perfect location.

The cabin was beautiful inside and out and you just cannot beat the location. It’s like a mile from the entrance to Yellowstone and by staying at this location you get to drive in and out via the Lamar Valley which is the best part of the park for wildlife viewing. We saw almost every animal in the park along our drives. You can pick up some groceries in Cooke City and there are some food options nearby including the wonderful BBQ truck within steps from the cabin. We would highly recommend staying here while exploring Yellowstone.

A Dream

This cabin was awesome. We arrived at night, didn't have trouble finding the cabin thanks to the directions from the owner, and..... they left the lights on for us :). It was clean, private, close to the northeast entrance, with amazing mountain views. Woke up to a Bison outside our backyard one morning, just amazing. Book this place you won't regret it.

The Perfect Respite

Perfect base location for all things Lamar Valley! The property was SO comfortable and the perfect respite to our respite in the Park. We loved the proximity and ease of accessing our favorite Park sites. Karen was responsive to our questions and made us feel welcome. We enjoyed our visits from Jefferson the resident bison and viewing him from the cabin. The cabin is supplied with everything from a full kitchen to games/books and the MOST comfortable bedding for the perfect rest and recharge. We thoroughly enjoyed our experience and hope to return soon!

Lovely Cabin in Breathtaking Winter Setting

This was a wonderful place to relax in a between snowshoe and wildlife-watching excursions in Yellowstone. The cabin is lovely and very comfortable. We brought in groceries and did a fair amount of cooking. Really appreciated the well-equipped kitchen and the basic spices and supplies like flour and sugar. Thanks to our hosts for a great stay!

Second time around was just as wonderful!

We stayed in this cabin in May of 2021 and again in September of 2022. And if we travel back to this area would no doubt stay here again. It is stocked with everything we needed and extremely clean! The washer/dryer was a huge plus too! We were so busy sight seeing we weren't really there much during the day, but it was just a perfect location for us and a great nights sleep!

Comfortable, clean, and close to the park.

We had a wonderful time. The cabin is very comfortable and has everything you might need....except a n outdoor fire pit. One big issue for us is the information we got led us to believe we could bike into the Lamar valley. Absolutely not so. $75 a bike for a mile into the park... Disappointing for sure. Otherwise we had a wonderful time!

Great house and perfect location!

Although our trip and stay was cut short by the catastrophic flooding, I have nothing but wonderful things to say about the owners, Karen and Jeff Hogan, and this beautiful house and area of our amazing country! Our views from the cabin on the one morning we actually were there were beautiful, especially the view from my girls' bed at the top of the stairs! Jeff went above and beyond to help us get our luggage out of the cabin after we were separated from it by a partially collapsed road. He contacted a local friend, Dan, who was able to meet my husband and son after they went across the raging river across the broken road (water up to their ankles/shins) and drive them to the cabin. He then waited while they quickly gathered our stuff together in the pitch dark (power was out) and then drove them back to the broken road/raging river and waited as my husband walked each piece of luggage back across to a point where I could grab it and carry it to the van. Without his help, we wouldn't have been able to get any of our stuff out. And when we realized we had left behind some of our belongings in the rush to pack in the dark, Jeff offered to mail them back to us. They were a blessing to us during this stressful time!

Unfortunately, not a good stay. Dirty.

We arrived after traveling several days to get to this destination to find that it had not been cleaned since the previous guest. The listing on this site will not open the property managers contact information but it is listed inside the cabin in a book that was tucked away. After contacting the owner, I received a response about how i needed to contact the property manager but no contact information was given to me just the husbands number but when called it was unreachable. I’m very upset that after 4 days since we left I have yet to hear back from the owners since I messaged all the problems that we encountered. After the first night, we lost power for the remainder of our stay (booked Sunday- Wednesday). The showers and the toilets were unusable. We didn’t shower the night we had power because we had to strip and wash all the lines and towels since they were not clean. There is zero service in Cooke City and Silvergate so I could not call or search online for a different place to stay elsewhere after the power outage happened. The owners have not responded to me and their lack of communication is why I ended up writing this. We spent a lot of hard earned money for a crappy stay.

Silver gate stay

This is a great property and we have been back for three years in a row. We love the location and the house. It would be nice to see the fireplace get fixed. We would also suggest a few more mugs, cups, bowls in the kitchen. Also, the air mattress upstairs has a leak in it. But other than those suggestions, a great stay!

So peaceful

We enjoyed every minute of our time at the cabin. Sometimes you forget to relax and this place absolutely makes you relax and enjoy the scenery. The cabin is so close to Lamar Valley that you can leave early in the morning, park and watch the wildlife at their best. Our last morning in the park we got see young wolves playing and running in the valley what a sight to see. You can sit out on the back deck and watch deer and the neighborhood buffalo. We plan to come back to Yellowstone in the next couple years and hopefully we can reserve the same cabin. Thank you so much for making our trip so wonderful.
