We adored this spot and the views were incredible! Very close to town and to the park as well. Jack was really responsive to our needs and accomodating. The wildlife we saw nearby (a fox and 2 kits) was a highlight for my kids. We would definitely stay here again.
The best mountain view from a clean and comfortable cabin! Convenient for northern Yellowstone visit and enjoying the abundant wildlife. Great host. We can't recommend this cabin more.
Location is extremely close to the park entrance. We were there to mainly hike and fish. Cabin location and view were amazing. We were able to sleep, eat, relax, and efficiently enjoy the park. Hosts were very responsive with cabin needs and other information.
Cabin was perfect for our trip to Yellowstone. Clean, easy to find, cozy. We couldn't have asked for more. Jack, the host communicated with us as needed and made us feel very comfortable
My husband and I enjoyed our 3 nights in this remote cabin. The view and wildlife were incredible. We were able to disconnect from our busy lives and enjoy the outdoors for a few days. The cabin is only a few miles from the northeast entrance of Yellowstone.
A sweet, clean and comfortable space, super convenient to the friendly town of Silver Gate and wildlife viewing in Lamar Valley. There’s a beautiful view of mountains, moonlight, and friendly foxes from the porch. We enjoyed our time there especially grilling on the porch. The ladder up to the loft is not bad at all, but be aware that adults can’t stand up straight in most of the loft space. And the living space is cozy if you will also have the sofa bed in use.
This is a fantastic place for 2 people to enjoy the wilderness with excellent access to Yellowstone’s North east entrance as well as friendly and yummy restaurants and stores in Cooke City. Be prepared for a steep ladder to the upper lost where you sleep but of your an active person this as a great spot. Thx Jack!
The Back of Beyond is a small cabin perfect for newlyweds or a young couple...there is room for a couple of children. It is immaculately clean with a small kitchen (no range - but microwave, fridge, Keurig and hotplate - it works!) The cabin is perched on the side of a mountain surrounded by soaring pines. A small creek runs beside it and wildlife abounds. Enjoy!!
The cabin is very clean and beautifully decorated with an amazing view to see the snow mountain and surrounded by pine tree forest and a small creek. It is very peaceful and in a quiet area on the back of the hill. Jack offers us warm hospitality. The guide book prepared by the host provides helpful information. My family including two kids had a fond memory there. Hope to come back and visit again. Thank you Jack!
If you are hesitant about being remote, this isn't your spot. It's only 1.5 miles from YNP, Silver Gate is a must-see, the cabin is beautiful, the scenery is breathtaking, the creek that runs right next door was very calming, and the wildlife that visited us; nailed it! Great Place, great hosts, thank you for sharing it with us!
Perfect location outside of northeast Yellowstone. We loved our stay. The cabin is remote but easy to find. The kitchen allowed us to make breakfast every morning before leaving for the park. Everything was clean and comfy. It's also right near Beartooth Highway.
The Back of Beyond was a fabulous cabin in the woods with a view of the mountains. It was easy to find…the pictures do not do it justice! It provided everything we needed, in a place we love, YELLOWSTONE. The host lives on sight and was very attentive to anything we needed. We would definitely stay here again!
