Lovely place less than 1 mile from Yellowstone NE entrance. Hosts do a great job of communicating pre-arrival and during stay.

Given the specifics of the house I knew I was in for a great experience but it was far beyond my expectations. The seclusion and privacy that accompanied the house was amazing. We only had to walk outside and were able to hike not only the short trek to Bridal Falls but also could head west and soon be on the Bannock ski trail that took us right in to Yellowstone.We could walk up the road to to enjoy the delicious ice cream at Stop the Car Trading PostThe house was meticulously clean and full of personal mementoes that made it feel so cozyMendy was always just a text away for me with any last minute questionsNothing like a cup of coffee on the balcony while the mule deer grazed in the yard!

Thanks for your review-we don’t offer a dishwasher as an amenity-but there is always dish soap and a dish drying rack or towels. There’s laundry to wash those as well. WiFi is pretty slow and not accessible in that neck of the back woods which is also clearly stated in our advertising and stay packet emailed to guests a few weeks before the stay. We hope the forest, beauty and adventure around the area is enough to keep all satisfied. We do personally reach out to all guests to check in if there’s issues or needs during the stay.

Awesome place and location

The Twisted Twig was the perfect house to rent for staying seven days and visiting Yellowstone each day. I highly recommend this house. Very spacious and every accommodation imaginable! We had five adults and plenty of room to spread out and relax after fishing, hiking and exploring in Yellowstone.

Easy access to Lamar Valley

Beautiful house; exactly as described. Very comfortably accommodated 6 adults. Mendy was great at communicating with us. The house is nestled in the woods; gorgeous hike to waterfall behind house. And the access to the NE entrance to the park can’t be beat! We had a wonderful stay and can’t wait to return!

Sorry you all struggled with the internet... being back in the woods is tough! I think you all suffered through a power outage that sometimes occurs around there too! I'm glad we have lots of flashlights!

Forest retreat

I mistakenly booked this beautiful cabin for Yellowstone in Montana instead of Wyoming. Geography was never my thing. However, it turned out to be great. We got all through the northern and middle part of Yellowstone and then we went up into Montana to see some of the most beautiful sites ever. This cabin was perfect for what we needed and the host was in contact with me the entire time and she was wonderful to deal with. I highly recommend staying here.

We had a wonderful stay at this cabin. Originally we were going to have 6 adults and 2 children, we end up having 7 adults. Mendy was so kind to even leave some coloring books and colored pencils for the kids. Each couple had a room and 1 guest slept on the loft futon, all beds were comfortable. The kitchen was fully stocked with all the cooking tools you need, and there were plenty of seasonings. We were there for my sons wedding, so we did alot of cooking. The cabin was a perfect temperature, leaving the shades closed worked out perfectly. The cabin is perfectly located in between Yellowstone (4 mile drive) and Cooke City (5 min drive). I would definitely stay here again. Mendy is very kind and quick to respond to any questions before and during your stay. She also provided a handbook ahead of time that helped all my guest be prepared when packing and traveling.

Homey Home Base

Our stay at Twisted Twig was fantastic. The downstairs suite was great for my elderly parents (it had an ensuite), the living room worked great for my adult brother (with access to the other bathroom downstairs), and the two small bedrooms and the bathroom upstairs worked great for my husband and me with our two kids. The cabin is lovingly appointed with woods/cabin-themed decor, and it's a beautiful home. (If you're sensitive to taxidermy, be aware that there are bear skins and mounted deer, etc.) The kitchen was really well-stocked (you don't need to bring spices, there's a whole drawer)! It was warm during the day, but we kept the windows closed and it didn't get hot inside. The location is AMAZING. You can literally walk to the Northeast Entrance to Yellowstone, and Silvergate and Cooke City are very easy to access, with gas, food, and fun (there was a Shakespeare performance while we were there)! Mendy was easy to reach and communicate with. We wouldn't hesitate to stay in her property again. You'll love it!

We had such an amazing stay at the Twisted Twig cabin! The location couldn't have been better—just minutes from Lamar Valley and the Beartooth Highway, which ended up being the absolute highlights of our Yellowstone trip.Mendy was an incredible host, checking in throughout our stay to make sure we had everything we needed and promptly answering any questions we had. The cabin was beautifully decorated, cozy, and perfectly comfortable for our family of five. It was also thoughtfully stocked with everything we needed for our five-day stay.We're so grateful for such a wonderful experience and would absolutely stay here again. We highly recommend the Twisted Twig to anyone looking for the perfect home base to explore Yellowstone!

Outstanding Property and Location

My wife and I spent a week at this log home in September 2021. The location is awesome for those wanting easy access to YNP or the Beartooth Mountain area. The home is very comfortable and comes complete with everything we needed for a week long stay, including a fully-equipped kitchen. We spent the week exploring the Custer, Gallatin, and Shoshone NFs, and the low-traffic NE entrance to YNP is only about 1 mile away, and within minutes you are in the Lamar Valley area. The owner (Mendy) is very reachable and communicated with us prior, during and after our visit to make sure everything was as expected. We very much enjoyed our stay, and would recommend this property.
