Great Views - just what we needed
It was a great location for our family of two boys (7&9) and grandparents. We visited Yellowstone for 3 days and Cody for 1 day. Centrally located to both - we were able to access all corners/sites/scenic routes/easier hikes of the park except Lamar Valley (left by 7:30am and got home around dinner each night). Even though location is technically in the middle of East Entrance and Cody, there is the added time to get down the mountain from the cabin and within East Entrance before you start seeing Yellowstone sites. But the drive down the mountain can’t take more than 15min even with the slowest of drivers if you aren’t comfortable with steep winding dirt roads. But view is awesome from all angles as you go up/down! Our all wheel drive minivan did just fine with no concerns. Grandparents slept in lower level bedroom and the kids/parents slept in the upstairs bedroom and even parents used the ladder just fine in the middle of the night, though preferred to use the door entry for daytime needs. We spent most of our evenings on the deck eating dinner looking at the views. The peacefulness was exactly what we were looking for in this location after the Yellowstone crowds. We mostly used the stove top which worked great, but the oven worked well too. The upstairs area is a nice large open space-no ducking of head, and was perfect for our family. Camping chairs would be a perk for a more comfortable place to site outdoors besides the wooden benches. Would recommend to others!
