Cozy home away from home
This was a cozy home away from home and great place to come back to after visiting Yellowstone. This is a beautiful home and area. Was hoping to see more wildlife here at the cabin, but we enjoyed seeing the resident deer and sitting by the river. Thank you for sharing this cabin so we could have good memories of our stay here at Yellowstone.

Wonderful cabin
What a wonderful and beautiful cabin you have. Our kids enjoyed staying here and we loved that it's very close to Yellowstone National Park. Thank you for being accommodating to us and have a great rest of the summer season.

Cute cabin, beautiful surroundings
This place was the rustic cherry on top to our adventure! It really completed my husband's 30th birthday celebration. Cute cabin and beautiful surroundings!

Loved the cabin. All the necessary amenities and then some. Nicely decorated with period pieces and books. Yellowstone was closed the 5 nights we were there so spent more time in the cabin than planned. Was nice to have the porch view, easy walk to river and satellite TV with lots of stations. It did not have shower but does has large claw foot tub with sprayer. Great property for a nature getaway.

Perfect!
I was concerned before arriving that the cabin might be small or cramped. It was a snug kitchen but aside from that it was a great space!! Beautiful matching antique furnishings throughout, lovely art pieces, beautifully finished bathroom with antique design- we just loved it. Our boys slept on the pull out sleeper sofa with no issues (they are tall 12 year olds). The only minor drawback we had is the bathroom can only be entered by going through the bedroom - and the bathroom has a curtain instead of a door. It really wasn't a big deal though. Otherwise I couldn't have asked for a more perfect space to spend our time in!! Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful space with us!!

We had such a great time staying here! Perfect location to get into Yellowstone. Seeing the stars at night was almost unbelieveable compared to what we see in Chicago!

We have lived in WY for 10 years and made short trips up this way., but never spent much time. The Homestead was perfect as our home-base as we explored Yellowstone N.P. The grounds are beautiful and well kept. One morning there was a mule deer practically on the deck with us. The park this time of year is great with lots of babies to be seen. We spotted grizzly mamma and 3 cubs turning rocks 4 miles before the park entrance. Saw Big Horn Sheep, Mountain Goats, fox, wolf pups, elk and bison. All rounded out the trip. Thank you for a great place to stay.

What a comfortable and cozy cabin. We have felt ‘at home' since we first walked through the door! All wee needed was here and more. The grounds are outstanding. It has been a delight to stroll around and perfect to be on the front porch hearing the river sounds. This place is a real gem!

Very Good
The cabin was nicely decorated, comfortable & has a wonderful view. Kitchen & bathroom were well stocked. The ceilings in the bedroom & bath were lower than I expected which caused some bumps on the head. The lack of a shower was a problem for myself & my husband. Getting in and out of the tub was difficult for a senior & if you stood in the tub you hit your head. No shower curtain.
