Beautiful property, excellent location for all we wanted to do over the long weekend.Home is really lovely inside, perfect cabin vibe with all the upgrades. Jeff and Karen have taken great care with this property to ensure a comfortable stay. Steps from everything you need in Silver Gate-coffee shop, restaurant, beer garden; and a quick trip into the Park for hiking or animal viewing. We were able to meet Jeff during check-in and enjoyed talking with him--All the locals are extremely friendly and welcoming. Definitely will book again and we are already looking forward to it!

It felt great to come back to the warm cabin after a whole day in Yellowstone. It is about 1 mile from the northeast entrance, easy to find and check in, and has all the amenities one could hope for in this area. This is a superb choice for quick access to the Lamar valley.

We loved our stay at Lamar Cabins. The house was very spacious for our family of 7 and was well stocked with everything that we needed to cook. The location to Yellowstone was perfect. It was neat getting to drive through Lamar Valley every day as you enter the park and see all the buffalo. And the little town of Silvergate was very cute and fun to explore. The check-in process was very easy and the hosts were great to deal with. I will definitely be recommending this cabin to any friends who plan to go to Yellowstone and I would definitely stay here again.

Angie, it truly means so much to us that you continue to return to Lamar Valley Cabins year after year. Guests like you become part of the story of this place, and we love knowing the cabins feel like a little home base for your Yellowstone adventures. The wildlife experiences you mentioned are exactly what makes staying near Yellowstone’s Lamar Valley so special. Seeing wolves, bears, bison, and other wildlife in their natural habitat never gets old for us either, and we’re always thrilled when our guests get to experience those unforgettable moments. We’re also glad the cabin continues to be a cozy and comfortable place to return to after long days exploring Yellowstone National Park, hiking the trails, or wildlife watching in Lamar Valley and the surrounding Cooke City area. Thank you again for your kindness and loyalty over the years, Angie. We’re already looking forward to welcoming you back to Lamar Valley Cabins for your next Yellowstone adventure. — Karen & Jeff

Perfect base camp for venturing into Yellowstone and the Beartooth mountains. Silvergate / Cooke City is quaint and eclectic with lovely restaurants and cute shops. The house was clean and very comfortable and well appointed. My family thoroughly enjoyed everything about the house, hosts, and the incredibly beautiful area!

Yellowstone Trip

We came back to Yellowstone again this year. Stayed in Cooke City last year and loved the area, so we decided to try Silvergate. We loved the house, it was easy to find, comfortable and clean. We loved the special touches in the bedrooms. The kitchen was well stocked. We would stay again!

Well appointed home in an excellent location!

A comfortable well appointed home in a wonderful location to visit Yellowstone. Views from the cabin are great! Very close to the Lamar Valley which is an excellent location to spot wild life. Many good hikes in close proximity to the property. Karen who owns the Cabin is very helpful and prompt in her responses. I look forward to staying at the Lamar Valley Cabins on my next visit to the area.

Lovely Cabin in Breathtaking Winter Setting

This was a wonderful place to relax in a between snowshoe and wildlife-watching excursions in Yellowstone. The cabin is lovely and very comfortable. We brought in groceries and did a fair amount of cooking. Really appreciated the well-equipped kitchen and the basic spices and supplies like flour and sugar. Thanks to our hosts for a great stay!

Very beautiful cabin in the perfect location.

The cabin was beautiful inside and out and you just cannot beat the location. It’s like a mile from the entrance to Yellowstone and by staying at this location you get to drive in and out via the Lamar Valley which is the best part of the park for wildlife viewing. We saw almost every animal in the park along our drives. You can pick up some groceries in Cooke City and there are some food options nearby including the wonderful BBQ truck within steps from the cabin. We would highly recommend staying here while exploring Yellowstone.

Cozy Cabin for Yellowstone trip

This was a very cozy, relaxing cabin very close to the north east entrance of Yellowstone National park. We saw bison and mule dear right from the kitchen window on multiple days. The host was easy to communicate with and the cabin was very clean. I would definitely stay here again. It was great driving through Lamar Valley every day to get in and out of the rest of the park we saw a lot of wildlife this way.

Exceeded all expectations

We had a girls getaway in the cabin for 3 nights in late June and were thrilled with the beautiful cabin! It is less than a mile from Yellowstone, and there are amazing mountain views from most of the rooms. We loved the general store and cafe down the street, and were even graced by a bison in the back yard for most of our stay! The accomodations are perfect and exceeded all of our expectations - everything is luxurious and new, but also comfortable. We felt right at home. We can't wait to visit again!

A Dream

This cabin was awesome. We arrived at night, didn't have trouble finding the cabin thanks to the directions from the owner, and..... they left the lights on for us :). It was clean, private, close to the northeast entrance, with amazing mountain views. Woke up to a Bison outside our backyard one morning, just amazing. Book this place you won't regret it.

winter getaway

The owner was great to work with. Very quick to respond and helpful. The property was great. We went to Cooke City snowmobiling with another couple and stayed here in Silver Gate. The cabin was beautiful. The area is gorgeous and very peaceful. We saw moose several times on our ride from Silver Gate to Cooke City. Only thing that would have made the stay better is a hot tub

About the host

Hosted by Karen Hogan or Jeff Hogan

Host profile image
Lamar Valley Cabins are owned and operated by Jeff and Karen Hogan, who live and work in the heart of the Greater Yellowstone ecosystem.

Jeff is an award-winning wildlife filmmaker whose work has been featured by organizations such as National Geographic and the BBC. With over three decades of experience filming wildlife around the world, he brings an intimate understanding of Yellowstone’s landscapes and animal behavior—often capturing moments rarely witnessed in the wild.

Karen Hogan, an artist and designer, led the design of the cabins, bringing a refined, intentional approach to each space. Drawing on her background in the arts, she created interiors that feel both elevated and deeply connected to the surrounding landscape—balancing simplicity, warmth, and functionality. Every detail reflects a thoughtful commitment to comfort, beauty, and a sense of place.

The cabins reflect their combined vision—offering a space that is both refined and deeply rooted in the surrounding landscape. Based between Jackson Hole, Wyoming and Silver Gate, Montana, they have chosen this location for its proximity to Lamar Valley and its extraordinary access to wildlife and wilderness.

Why they chose this property

We chose this property because of the unique character of Silver Gate. It's a town that is frozen in time. It's quiet, charming, and is a true reflection of western life in the Rockies. The Lamar Valley Cabins are near Yellowstone’s Northeast Entrance, yet worlds away from the congestion of more heavily trafficked areas. With immediate access to Lamar Valley, widely regarded as the best wildlife viewing area in the park, this location allows guests to experience Yellowstone at its most authentic—early mornings, open landscapes, and a true sense of immersion.

Our homes are easy to access year-round; a short stroll from the ice cream shop, the Log Cabin Cafe, the town park with play structures, and a short hike right out the back door takes you to Silver Falls, the town waterfall.

Silver Gate has none of the hustle and bustle of other border towns, and we've been told Lamar Valley Cabins is one of Yellowstone's best-kept secrets.

What makes this property unique

Lamar Valley Cabins offer a rare combination of design, privacy, and proximity—just one mile from Yellowstone’s Northeast Entrance and minutes from Lamar Valley. Unlike many area rentals with open loft sleeping, our cabins feature fully private bedrooms for each guest, creating a more comfortable and refined stay. We also prioritize sustainability through the use of clean, environmentally responsible products and a deep respect for Yellowstone’s intact ecosystem.
