Silvertip Cabins, a duplex cabin nestled in the forest surrounding Silver Gate, Montana, will be the perfect adult accommodations for your private and quiet getaway. Located one mile outside the NE Gate to Yellowstone National Park, Silver Gate is a cozy community with 2 small stores, 2 food venues, and an outdoor shop. Right inside Yellowstone is the scenic and wildlife-rich Lamar Valley.
Each cabin is designed for no more than two adults in a rustic, yet comfortable space. No pets are allowed. Cabin includes a well-equipped FULL kitchen with eating bar, relaxed living room with satellite TV, luxurious California King handmade lodgepole bed, and bathroom with circular glass shower and separate vanity area. The porch provides a quiet, shady area on which to read, relax or just sit and listen to the wind as it passes through the trees that surround this gem of a cabin. A gas grill for your use is located right off your porch for grill cooking. The water well on our property has been recognized as one of the best and freshest in the State of Montana, so you won't need to bring bottled water, except if you want to FILL your bottles :)
A short walk across our property will find you on the banks of Soda Butte Creek for fishing or just relaxing next to the water. The view across the creek is Duffy's Meadow which is designated a conservation property, thereby offering you an unobstructed view of nature and oft times, wildlife.
Silvertip Cabins are also a short hike to several nearby waterfalls and hiking trails. The cabin is a perfect base point for not only traveling into our nation's first national park to the west, but also to a variety of scenic roads and towns to the east. The cabins and town of Silver Gate itself is a 20 minute drive from the base of the Beartooth Scenic Highway over Beartooth Pass to Red Lodge Montana, as well as the beginning of the Chief Joseph Scenic Highway heading into Cody, Wyoming.
As shown in our pictures, Silvertip Cabins is a duplex, with each of the 2 cabins sleeping two adults.. The cabins do not front on the river, but are accessible with a one minute walk. We do not accommodate children or pets.
The internet on our property is through Starlink so you will be able to use the internet while here. It is usually accessible inside your cabin, but periodically the range does not reach that far and will be only accessible from the porch of your cabin. Guests shall not share the internet password with others.
We want to assure our potential guests that we go above and beyond in disinfecting and cleaning our cabins between reservations. We use disinfectants in cleaning the cabins and thoroughly wash all linens and towels prior to your arrival,
Our check-in time is 2:00 pm and our check out time is 10 am. If you need a change to these times, please discuss this with the owner upon arrival.
WE DO NOT TAKE RESERVATIONS MORE THAN 12 MONTHS IN ADVANCE AND STAYS OF LESS THAN 6 NIGHTS ARE NOT BOOKED UNTIL MARCH 1st OF THE BOOKING YEAR IN ORDER TO ALLOW THOSE WHO WOULD LIKE TO BOOK A LONGER STAY THE ABILITY TO BOOK WITHOUT THE DATES BEING BROKEN UP BY SHORTER STAYS.
Prior to checking out, our guests who are booked into our cabin for 6 or more nights for the current season DO have the option of reserving for "their" same time span for the next calendar year. Therefore, if you are interested in booking for a FUTURE season, the best thing to do is to let us know your interest via email and we'll put your name on our reservation waiting list to be contacted as soon as we know whether or not the dates you request are available.

Great host and property

The cabin was beautiful, with amazing wood work. It was super quiet, and the hosts have thought of everything. Our interactions with Carol were pleasant, and she was available for any questions we had. If you are visiting the north east part of Yellowstone Park, we would highly recommend you stay here.

Better than advertised

Absolutely fabulous. Pete and Carol are wonderful host. The information they provided was fabulous. We took hikes based on the information. The cabin was cozy, very clean and well kept, sitting on the porch you smell the pines. We even were able to see a mama moose and 2 of her babies right. The grounds you are able to use are stunning, sitting by the river, fishing.

This was our fourth(?) time staying with the Widmans, and this property never fails to deliver. The proximity to the park and the pass make it the perfect base camp for daily excursions. You should definitely stay here, but please don't take the dates we like. :)

Best cabin in the entire area

Amazing!!! 11 star rating!! Handcrafted mastery. I spent hours looking at the details of the wood work and forgot to watch TV. Super cool, fresh, super pure drinking water. Super quiet and isolated but close to everything. The Widman's are fantastic hosts and we enjoyed a week on their property. Staying at the Widman’s property will be a memory to cherish for a lifetime.

Yellowstone Adventure

Carol’s property is simply amazing, and she is probably the best host we have ever had. The cabin is so cozy and spotless, and very comfortable, with everything you need. The location and surroundings, right next to Yellowstone Park and creekside, are spectacular. Even though we did have to cut our stay short by 2 nights due to the historic floods in Yellowstone, we enjoyed our stay very much and can’t wait to return.

Peaceful

We visit Yellowstone National Park frequently but have never explored this area just outside its NE entrance. The duplex cabin is located in a forested area away from the main road and the property borders Soda Butte Creek. The cabin is beautifully done, all Pete's handcrafted handiwork right down to custom made counters, pantry and built-ins etc. We had everything needed for comfort and making meals. We enjoyed sitting on the covered porch. A short hike from the cabin is the beautiful Bridal Falls. So close to Yellowstone National Park. Great place to get away from the crowds. Thank you Carol and Pete for sharing this cabin with us!

Splendid Cabin with views

Pete & Carol’s have created this rustic but eloquent cabin that is tucked in the mountain pines with scenic Mountain Views. It’s peaceful and scenic. Relaxing by the Soda Butte Creek, makes this cabin special. So many details went into this cabin. Pictures on Vrbo don’t show its entirety. Imagine sitting on the front porch w a cup of coffee, while listening to nature, while soaking up peacefulness. We felt it’s the best area to be in if you want to experience Yellowstone, or take a drive on the Beartooth Scenic Highway which is a must! Lamar Valley is the place to see wildlife , plus is the fastest way to get into the park without wait lines. We saw Bears. Cubs, Bison, pronghorns, bald eagle, moose, mountain goats, plus foxes.

Great Cabin Very Close to Yellowstone Entrance

Our stay at the cabin was great. The owner Carol was lovely and came out to great us when we arrived to show us around the cabin and answer any questions we had about the area. It was nice to know she was so close if we needed something as well as accommodating helpful. The cabin had everything we needed and was quiet and comfortable. We stayed for 3 nights and wished we had more time to explore the cabin surroundings but would certainly stay again. One morning we were getting ready to leave for Yellowstone and there was a buffalo in the back yard! We loved the area being so close to the park entrance (only one mile away). The two little cities (Slivergate and Cooke) were great places to walk around shop and find something to eat. Thanks again Carol for your hospitality.

Forested Escape

This property in Silver Gate was perfect for our visit to the Lamar Valley in YNP. The kitchen was set up well with utensils and pots and pans, and there is a cupboard with ample space for storing dry goods (very limited access to groceries, so we came prepared!). There is also a good supply of casserole dishes and storage containers if needed. The stove works well, runs hot so heating up servings of chili took no time at all, and the oven also heats up quickly. The bed was very comfortable, there are terrific built-in cabinets and shelves and the overall layout of the cabin works well. Finally, many thanks to Carol and Pete for their warm hospitality!

Perfect getaway

The cabin and its great location to Yellowstone National Park makes it a perfect vacation getaway. The cabin is beautifully constructed and comes complete with everything you need to perfect your stay. We enjoyed relaxing on the porch rockers to sitting in the chairs along the river and enjoying the mountain views. We were also fortunate to have a momma moose and her little one visit the property three times.! The hosts-- Pete and Carol made us felt like we were old friends-- they are a wealth of knowledge for the area. Our time was way to short- and we look forward to going back to this home away from home rental. To Pete and Carol-- thank you for opening your property for others to enjoy-- its is truly an amazing place!

Beautiful cabin was perfect for a quiet stay just outside Yellowstone. Owners Pete and Carol are friendly and gracious. Cooke city/ Silvergate is a small easy going community perfectly suited for visiting tourists. One thing to note is there’s no cell phone service in the area.
