Fantastic cabin. Beautiful location with fabulous fishing and star gazing!!Check in and out was super easy. Cabin was very clean, comfortable and well equipped. Highly recommend. Hope to stay there again soon.
This was a wonderful stay! The owners were quickly responsive with the questions we had, leading up to this special trip.if you go to Yellowstone I highly recommend staying here! The hosts were wonderful!
We loved our stay! Great family vacation to Yellowstone and the Tetons. We enjoyed the cabin and fishing the Madison River. Would definitely stay here again.
This house is perfect for relaxing after long days in Yellowstone. The front porch had beautiful views. The house was set up nicely for families traveling in together and the ride into Yellowstone was easy!
The property was perfect for us. We were all very comfortable and loved the location - other than the lane which was not well maintained. I was also disappointed that the grass was not mowed around the cabin. I would stay there again!!!
This is a terrific cabin in a fabulous location. The house had everything we needed for a very comfortable week-long stay, and served as a great base of operation for visiting Yellowstone. In addition to the beautiful surroundings, the location is remote enough to offer peace and solitude, while being a short and picturesque drive from West Yellowstone and the entrance to the national park.
I highly recommend this cabin and we plan to return!
Cute little cabin set up for the perfect fishing trip.
It’s a fun walk down to the water. In a central location with easy access to West Yellowstone, Ennis, and Virginia City.
The hosts were very responsive and kind.
This was the perfect house for our stay when visiting our son who works at Galloup’s Slide Inn. Super close to the shop and a short walk to fish in the Madison. Sitting on the patio with our coffee looking at the mountains in the sunshine was heaven. Easy drive to Yellowstone to spend a day too! The house had everything we needed, plenty of space and was very clean. We will be back!
Beautiful views in every direction from this quaint, if smallish cabin. Very well equipped kitchen with all required amenities. Excellent WiFi Internet makes up for nearly non-existent Verizon cell service. Short, strenuous walk to the slide section of the Madison River…plus easy drives to West Yellowstone, Yellowstone Park, Island Park and many areas of interest. Overall very pleasant stay.
Such an amazing place! We were surprised at how nice and well stocked this cabin was. The surrounding beauty of the cabin is unreal, like something from a magazine! Our teenage sons loved the little apartment upstairs and the two bedrooms in the main cabin were perfect for the rest of us. The beds were all comfortable, and everything was so clean! We hope to be back one day! Pam was so easy to work with and quick to respond to any questions we had.
Pretty far from river.....different than advertised but beautiful home, beautiful setting great stay

Glad you enjoyed your stay. We updated our description from "short walk" to "short hike (about 100 yards)" to the river to be clearer on the distance which enables a beautiful wilderness experience.
This cabin and location was beautiful! Clean everything we needed! Minutes from Yellowstone. We rented ATVs in town and rode the trails to more breathtaking views! Went hiking close to cabin. Went white water rafting in Gillatan! The more you hike in Yellowstone the scenery is even more beautiful! Plenty of waterfalls! Definitely will be back!
We had a fabulous time. Visited the park just as the aspen were turning. The cabin was a perfect home base for visiting the park, not to close or to far away. We had our own personal Antelope heard greeting us each morning just outside the cabin. Very peaceful area. The cabin was very nice and well stocked. We had a prefect time. Couldn’t have asked for more. Thanks so much.

This was our second time here in to years and it is truly one of the last best places in Montana. I've been gong to the area since the 70's and staying at a plethora of places and this one really takes the cake. The house is a fooler from the outside and is spacious, clean as pin, well laid out and has and extraordinary kitchen and fabulous linens. The fishing behind the cabin takes a little effort to get to, but is exciting, trying to wrestle big rainbows and brown trout from the fast, white water of the Slide area. The property hosts views of four different mountains ranges which are in your face, close, or a long way off and sometimes will reveal a mountain goat or two, highlighted by the expensive valleys that separate the ranges. The hosts are wonderful and go out of their way to make sure our accommodations fit our needs, including some special requests which they performed. We can't wait to get back again next year!
The house had everything we needed, very comfortable and clean. Kitchen had all of the essentials. Loved the remote location and the sound of the river. Getting to the river required of 100 foot very steep hill to navigate. Because of how close the house was to the river the mosquitoes were bad except when their was a nice wind which thankfully was most of the time.
We had a wonderful time at this cabin. The views can’t be beat. It was stocked with everything we needed. I did forget to screenshot WiFi, codes & specific directions. We did not have service so we had a little trouble getting to the cabin although we could see it lol. If you have AT&T make sure you have all that saved before hand. Thank you for a great first experience in Montana!

About the host
Hosted by Pam and Jeff Whitmore
We live in Tucson, Arizona. Our family has been fishing in the Yellowstone area since the 1960s. Since the 1970s, we've been vacationing every summer in the area. We bought the 20 acre property in 1983. For years we camped on it. In the recent years we built two houses, one for us to live in during the summer and a second for others to enjoy!
