Aspen Cabin Near Yellowstone - Horse Rides,zip Lining, Rafting, Hiking

Nestled in the heart of the Gallatin mountain range, the Stermitz Ranch has been in our family since 1900. We hope that you enjoy the area as much as we do! Our cozy cabin offers the best of both worlds- all of the peace and seclusion for a truly relaxing vacation, yet still located only minutes from the North Entrance to Yellowstone National Park and the shops and restaurants of Gardiner. This newly renovated cabin is situated on a hill overlooking a beautiful mountain meadow surrounded by fir trees, willows, and aspens with amazing mountain views. Enjoy viewing the elk, deer, coyotes, bald eagles and occasionally moose, wolves, and bears who frequent the vast open spaces that the ranch has to offer. Horses, cows, and chickens also call this breathtaking place home. Spend time befriending the horses and then let them take you on a memorable ride to the top of the mountain! We also have a Zip Line available on the ranch (ages 5 and up) as well as Whitewater Rafting on the nearby Yellowstone River. Activities typically run from Memorial Day to Labor Day. If we have enough help, sometimes we are able to offer horseback rides into the fall. Please check with us first.

Our cabin is the perfect place to relax. The living room boasts large picture windows with incredible views, and a patio door opening to a large covered porch, vaulted ceiling (with beams from a local historic bridge), a large gas fireplace, and comfortable seating. The kitchen is fully equipped with a microwave, refrigerator, dishwasher, range, and all utensils needed to create wonderful meals to be enjoyed inside or out on the covered porch.

The covered porch, which is equipped with a gas grill and outdoor dining set, is the perfect area for barbecues, viewing the abundant wildlife, and watching the incredible sunsets while sipping a glass of wine. Relax and enjoy the cool evening breezes on a hot summer day. The backyard offers lots of room for setting up a badminton game, volleyball, or horseshoes.

The cabin has four bedrooms and three bathrooms. It offers two master suites each with a king-sized bed and a private bath, and two additional rooms. One of the rooms has a bunk bed, and the other room has a bunk bed and an additional queen bed. The bunk rooms share a bathroom. The cabin sleeps 8-10 people.

Unplug! The cabin does not have wifi or cell service, but there is a land line.

Our cabin is located 20 minutes from Yellowstone Park, 30 minutes from Chico Hot Springs, 10 minutes from world-class fishing on the Yellowstone River, and mere minutes from horseback riding with us on the Stermitz Ranch. In the winter you can cross-country ski and snowshoe from the back door. We are also only 2 hours from snowmobiling in the world-renowned Cooke City area. If you prefer a more laid back vacation, you can spend hours sitting on the porch drinking coffee, reading by the fire, viewing wildlife, sketching the amazing scenery, identifying wildflowers and animal tracks, petting the horses and colts, taking a nature hike from your back door, taking a zip line tour or whitewater rafting.

We are sure that your Yellowstone area vacation will be a unique and memorable experience. We look forward to meeting you!
Your hosts,
Stacy and Rob Stermitz
P.S. If this cabin is full, or if you need additional lodging for your group, we also have other cabins available.

Scenic and peaceful
This is our 2nd time staying here. We stayed with our grown children and their spouses in 2020. We loved it so much we decided to bring both sets of parents back. They loved it as much as us. We saw wildlife every day while there. It’s the perfect location to visit Yellowstone. We unplugged and enjoyed each other so much!

Family Outing
We were very pleased with our stay at the Aspen Cabin. It was clean, well appointed and the host was friendly. The only reason why i didnt give a 5 star overall is the road condition going to the cabin. Probably because of the amount of rain when we were there.

Yellowstone Family Vacation
Stermitz Ranch is a beautiful mountain retreat for the whole family. My wife, myself, our 4 kids and my in-laws all stayed together in the Aspen Cabin. We really enjoyed the beautiful surroundings, hiking the nearby mountains, horseback riding, and watching wildlife. We are already trying to plan when we can come again. The Stermitz's were very excellent hosts and responded to any questions we had right away. They also have bear spray provided which was really great since that's money we didn't have to spend for something we wanted to carry but never had to actually use (can't bring bear spray in your luggage, found that out the hard way). The cabin itself is really cozy and has 3 bedrooms on one side of the home and one bedroom on the other (where we put the grandparents). Two of the bedrooms are master bedrooms with an attached bathroom. 4 beds and 3 full bathrooms plus kitchen worked really well for 8 people. The home is stocked with a smattering of great books (including a Yellowstone guide that we found so useful we carried it in the car with us - the maps and information in the book were better than what was in the park!). Also my kids loved the Stermitz's big dog that is very sweet and playful (Stacy was going to keep the dog inside, but my kids asked her to let the dog out) . Lastly, there really is NO CELL SERVICE or internet at all. I thought it was fantastic to unplug for a week. Overall I would recommend this to anyone considering this as a place to stay.

Perfect hideaway
We loved the out of the way house, but still close to Yellowstone. We had all the privacy we wanted but still had our hosts nearby to visit on the porch and offer up recommendations for adventures each day. We really loved the visits from the hosts' big, friendly pup and we lived rolling the windows down on our way up and down the looong driveway to listen to the beautiful stream. The kids had a blast hiking up the mountains on the property.

Aspen Cabin Heaven
It makes you never want to go home. Although we came to see all of YNP sometimes we just wanted to hang out at the cabin, coffee or cocktails on the porch and watching the kids play ball and frisbee in the yard and pretend like we never had to leave. It rained a little almost every day but we got to have all the adventures we came for and were always anxious to get back up the mountain to our "home".
