About this property

Creekside Cabin near Yellowstone - horse rides, rafting, zip lining, hiking

Experience Ranch Life In the West!
Have you ever wanted to stay in a historic cabin on a ranch in Montana? Well then this is your place. We raise American Quarter Horses, and generally have at least one new foal every summer. Last summer our cabin guests were fortunate enough to witness the birth! The ranch is also home to chickens, pigs, cows, dogs, and cats.

Enjoy horseback riding in the mountains, watching the pigs wallow in the mud, watching wranglers bring the horses in from the fields, watching calves play while their mothers graze, watching a Ferrier put shoes on a horse, seeing the newborn foals- these are a few of the many of the activities that go on here on a daily basis!

The Stermitz Ranch History
Rob's great grandfather, Joseph, was born in Slovenia, Austria in 1862 and worked in the coal mines from the age of 9. He later immigrated here from Slovenia with his wife and two children in 1892, following the promise of work in coal mines in Montana. When they arrived he found that no work was to be found. Joseph used his last $10 to buy a shotgun so that he might feed his family. While here, a fire broke out in the Cokedale mines. Joe helped put out the fires and was noticed by the mine boss who asked 'who is that good worker?' Someone explained that it was an immigrant who couldn't find work. The mine boss then said 'Put that man to work. Anyone who works that hard for no pay deserves a job. The family, along with the addition of three more children, moved to the ranch in Cinnabar Basin in 1900.

Mountain Exploration and Wildlife Tour
We thought the property was amazing and beautiful. The creekside cabin was great for unplugging unfortunately I am a bit OCD! Bring some fun along, cornhole boards or some card or board games, not much area for any diversion at the cabin but there is tons of beautiful area to hike and see. We enjoyed the horseback ride, we woke up to a fresh fallen snow in June, never see that in Oklahoma! The two hour ride was informative and fascinating, seeing those breathtaking views early in the morning was well worth it. This was perfect distance for our base of Yellowstone exploration and Gardiner didnt disappoint for tourism attraction and a fun night out! We saw several elk coming in and out of the basin and were very satisfied with our choice of location. Rich family heritage made it seem unique place to call our home for a few days, only wish I'd booked to stay a little longer. All in all we had a great time on a much needed vacay getaway!

What a great place to unplug. Who needs the internet when you are spending the day in Yellowstone and your mornings and nights sitting by the creek listening to nature? It was an awesome 4 days.

Great cabin, awesome experience
The cabin is exactly as pictured, very clean and cozy! It had everything you need including cooking equipment and a comfy bed! The location is great, secluded, but not too far from town. Very close to the north entrance of Yellowstone, where we saw so much wildlife! The rental process and check in was trouble free and very easy. The owners were friendly and helpful, reaching out to make sure we had everything we needed for our stay. We would definitely stay at Creekside cabin again and have recommended it to friends!

Beautiful Surrounding
My family and I loved the Creek Cabin it was surrounded by a running creek on both sides it was beautiful. It was a small place perfect for the 4 of us and a great unplug with no cell service or WIFI. Only negative thought the horse back riding, rafting and zip lining was included as fun activities but found out day before they all cost quite a bit of money.

A Perfect Getaway
The Creekside Cabin was the perfect place to stay while visiting Yellowstone National Park. The location was amazing and offered the perfect place to unwind after a long day. The cabin was clean and cozy with plenty of room for two adults and two kids. It had everything we needed for our stay. Stacy was a gracious host and ensured we had everything we needed (including bear spray). The ranch was a beautiful place to hike and I can see us coming back in the future.

Peaceful Creekside Cabin
We enjoyed the beauty and peacefulness of the cabin during our stay. Stacy & Rob were very helpful with things to do in the area, since the North Entrance road was only open to guided tours. Our teenagers hiked Black Mountain (10hr out & back hike). Don’t count the Gardiner area out, they made tremendous strides in opening up the area after the flood.

Our original trip was planned around Yellowstone. But a week before our stay, radical rains and flooding washed away bridges and several parts of the road into Yellowstone via the north entrance (Gardiner), closing all of Yellowstone. After connecting with Stacy about Creekside still being available, we chose to come. Parts of Yellowstone reopened on June 22nd with limited guests at the West, South and East entrances, but the North entrance remained closed. I mention this, as the park closure impacted the activities near Creekside as well. We weren't aware until we arrived that horse back riding near the property and zip-lining had also closed. No matter. We were content to listen to the creek, savor the quiet and enjoy the ever-changing Montana weather. The cabin itself is well-insulated--close the windows and you'd never know you were near water. Open them, and fall asleep to the sound of water. The cabin is ideal for two people. We brought our kids who shrugged off sleeping on the couch and on a couple of stacked mattresses on the floor, but the design is really for two. The kitchen was equipped with pots and pans of all kinds. More than adequate. The fridge is small, so would suggest a cooler for extra storage. The cabin was thoughtfully decorated and had all the extras we might need--blankets, towels, bear spray, dvds, clear instructions. Trimming the overgrown bushes might help match the beautiful inside. Blessed by kind, hard-working hosts. So glad we came.

This little cabin was amazing. It was a great time to unplug. The sounds of the creek as you go to sleep was so soothing. Me and my wife had the most stress free and relaxing week ever. Being surrounded by so much beauty was simply amazing.

Cute cabin
Located between two creeks, you'll get the best night sleep here. Note, the fridge in a mini so don't shop for a full. The bed was so comfortable and so was the couch. The cabin was great for grilling, cooking, and enjoying nature. There is no cell service, we had 3 different networks so make sure to get your text or email directions when your in town.

Rustic Getaway With Everything Provided!
The cabin was perfect for me and my husband. Stacy has pretty much thought of everything you might need to be comfortable in the cabin. There is not a laundry on the property, however there is a fluff and fold laundrymat in Gardiner. The washing machines and dryers are very fast, so if you need to wash clothes after a day on a horse or exploring the mountains, you won’t need to spend a lot of time washing clothes. There’s a great little country store in Gardiner, which by the way is a very small town, but they make the best huckleberry ice cream. If you’ve never tried it, you should! There is a small clothes line in the back of the cabin if you wish to hand wash a few things. The cabin itself was well stocked, even had our favorite steak seasoning, Mc Cormicks Montreal. We ended up cooking steaks on the propane grill our last night. We had a nice trail ride, if you get the two mules, they are very calm, full sized like a horse, but with a donkey face! When heading to Gardiner, take the scenic Old Yellowstone Trail at least once, I caught some great pics there. There was no zip lining available due to staffing issues and we were a bit disappointed that we didn’t get to see any pigs, chickens or other farm animals other that the horses. But the cabin was comfortable after a day exploring the park and surrounding areas. I tried mountain oysters for the first time at the Old Saloon restaurant a few miles down the road on 89. They were good, tasted like flat conch fritters! We drove over Beartooth pass to Cody WY where 4-6 feet of snow had fallen and they had just reopened the road. It was breathtaking! Definitely bring binoculars, my husband was pleasantly surprised that everything was available in the cabin, liquid soap, shampoo, lotion, bear spray and a first aid kit. There was even a fire extinguisher next to the outdoor grill! There are a few hidden gems in town like the old Gardiner jailhouse. It’s just behind Cowboys restaurant.. There is so much to see and do and the Creekside Cabin is a great, quaint place to call home while visiting. Obviously, Stacy and Rob have put a lot of love into making their cabins home for weary travelers! As mentioned, there is no Wi-Fi or cell service at the cabin, but there is a landline. If you need to call home, purchase a calling card before arrival. There is service in Gardiner and spotty cell service in Yellowstone. Overall, we had a great time and would definitely come back again!

This was such a cute little cabin. The weather wasn’t great so I never really got to enjoy the creek and the porch. My son said the couch was the most comfortable bed he’s ever slept on. It was a bit of a drive from town but we liked the seclusion.

Wonderful place, wonderful experience
This cabin was perfect for 2! Very private, very remote, very cozy. All of the basics were provided, even bear spray. There was a guest book dated back 10 years which was a nice touch and we loved reading about others' experiences. Stacey was very responsive and Rob willingly came to our rescue when we got locked out of the cabin. This property is only 15 min from the entrance to YSNP which is where we spent most of our time, but we also enjoyed the surrounding areas including Emigrant and Jardine. I definitely recommend this property if you are looking for an experience outside of city living -and we are from Atlanta so that's exactly what we wanted!
