About this property

Lazy Acres 6 Min to Yellowstone NP- Mule Deer Cabin

Located only 7 miles from West Yellowstone, the west entrance to Yellowstone National Park, our vacation home built in 2005 sits on a gentle grassy slope ringed by forests and mountains. The Great Room offers a spectacular view of Lionhead Mountain and the surrounding peaks of the Continental Divide.

This is a pet fee free property. You will be fined $1,000 if you bring a pet.

Mule Deer Cabin:

This two-story 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom vacation rental home sits on a half-acre property. It has a deck and patio with lounge and deck chairs. The surrounding Forest Service lands provide a quiet setting amidst a small and sparse grouping of mostly seasonal homes. The western style interior furnishings are beautifully coordinated and embrace a tastefully rustic atmosphere. The cabin sleeps up to 8 people, with two queen-size beds, two twin beds and a queen sleeper sofa. Wireless high speed internet access has been installed - just bring your laptop(s). A cozy cabin feeling is created by the knotty pine woodwork on most walls and ceilings, which adds to the mountain charm. The beautiful two-story Great Room has a large wood-burning fireplace with a floor to ceiling rock chimney. The dining table seats 8 people. Gas grill on the front deck for barbecues. The Elk Room (primary bedroom) features a two-person heated whirlpool bath and a shower. The Pine Room (queen bedroom) and the Moose Room (twin bedroom are both located upstairs. The upstairs bathroom features a tub/shower with a sliding glass enclosure. There is extra seating in the loft where the second TV is located. The use of the garage is not included in the rental of the Mule Deer Cabin.

Perfect Yellowstone Getaway

We stayed in Mule Deer Cabin for a Yellowstone getaway. The cabin was located outside the west gate and in a very peaceful small neighborhood. They thought of everything and we had all the amenities of home. We will definitely stay here again.

Home Sweet Montana

This property is amazing. There were no surprises, it is “as advertised.” Our family of four (adult children) had plenty of room to spread out and relax after hiking and exploring in Yellowstone National Park. Hank’s Chop House in West Yellowstone provided a delicious meal out. (We did most meals in the cabin which was fully equipped.We would love to return in the future.

Not what I expected for price

Pros: convenient to town, comfortable beds well equipped kitchen, nice decor. Cons: in subdivision not secluded like images seem, property is overall much smaller than images appear, unable to use upstairs TV due to no remote. Road to property was very difficult to navigate with multiple pot holes. Small cars will have difficulty. View is limited due to neighboring homes. Neutral: Also several roof leaks throughout the home likely due to recent heavy snow/rain. Owner was contacted and had it patched temporarily.

YNP visit

We loved our stay! Spent three days at this property while we visited Yellowstone National Park. Location was convenient to the park's west entrance. Home was well stocked with all essentials, including bear spray! It was great to have coolers to pack our lunch and drinks for the day. Thanks, Mike, for sharing your home with us.

West Glacier getaway 2022

Our cabin was very close to town and the west entrance to YNP. The cabin was furnished with everything you could need for a trip to Yellowstone. It was unseasonably hot when we were there and the cabin had air conditioning, but the upper rooms stayed warm during the night. There were ceiling fans to help with air movement. Overall, we had a great stay in the cabin.

Great Cabin for our Yellowstone adventure

Five Stars! The cabin was in a fantastic location close to West Yellowstone and the West Entrance of Yellowstone National Park - which was perfect for our stay. The house is well furnished and stocked with everything our family needed to truly enjoy our stay. Enough room to relax in the lower level family room and the top floor loft, as well as plenty of room in the bedrooms to accommodate our family of five. It offered amazing views of the surrounding mountains, and was private enough for the whole family to peacefully relax after long days touring Yellowstone. It was a benefit being so close to West Yellowstone which allowed easy access to stores, supermarkets, and restaurants. The kitchen had everything we needed to make breakfast, bagged lunches for the park, and dinner a few nights (having a grill was awesome). Above all, the residence was very clean, had great hot water for showers, and a good internet connection (which is hard in mountain areas). All in all it was an amazing stay and contributed to our overall once in a lifetime trip to Yellowstone!
