Most Beautiful View
The house was very beautiful, warm and welcoming. We enjoyed the morning view eating breakfast in the kitchen. The kids loved the upstairs setup and kid friendly area. The decor was also very pleasing! We were excited to see the option of many different books, games and other activities. The house was clean and very comfortable! We loved that there was coffee pot and coffee available to make. We will love to stay again. It was incredible!

Cozy retreat in the best place on earth!
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.

Cooke City Mountain Home is our new go-to for ski trips!
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!!

Response from VrboOwner on 23 Dec 2023
We appreciate your review. I thoroughly cleaned the house before your arrival and I put new soap in boxes in both the bathrooms. It is likely someone in your party opened the boxes to wash their hands. We pride ourselves on cleanliness and that is not something we would overlook.

Great Place in Cooke City
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.

Cute Old Mining Town
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.

Great Rental Property
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.

Beautiful home near Yellowstone
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!

Great for groups or families
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.

Everything we could have asked for and more!
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!

Great Location
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.

Lovely home away from home!
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!

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.
