Silvertip Cabins, a duplex cabin nestled in the forest surrounding Silver Gate, Montana, will be the perfect adult accommodations for your private and quiet getaway. Located one mile outside the NE Gate to Yellowstone National Park, Silver Gate is a cozy community with 2 small stores, 2 food venues, and an outdoor shop. Right inside Yellowstone is the scenic and wildlife-rich Lamar Valley.
Each cabin is designed for no more than two adults in a rustic, yet comfortable space. No pets are allowed. Cabin includes a well-equipped FULL kitchen with eating bar, relaxed living room with satellite TV, luxurious California King handmade lodgepole bed, and bathroom with circular glass shower and separate vanity area. The porch provides a quiet, shady area on which to read, relax or just sit and listen to the wind as it passes through the trees that surround this gem of a cabin. A gas grill for your use is located right off your porch for grill cooking. The water well on our property has been recognized as one of the best and freshest in the State of Montana, so you won't need to bring bottled water, except if you want to FILL your bottles :)
A short walk across our property will find you on the banks of Soda Butte Creek for fishing or just relaxing next to the water. The view across the creek is Duffy's Meadow which is designated a conservation property, thereby offering you an unobstructed view of nature and oft times, wildlife.
Silvertip Cabins are also a short hike to several nearby waterfalls and hiking trails. The cabin is a perfect base point for not only traveling into our nation's first national park to the west, but also to a variety of scenic roads and towns to the east. The cabins and town of Silver Gate itself is a 20 minute drive from the base of the Beartooth Scenic Highway over Beartooth Pass to Red Lodge Montana, as well as the beginning of the Chief Joseph Scenic Highway heading into Cody, Wyoming.
As shown in our pictures, Silvertip Cabins is a duplex, with each of the 2 cabins sleeping two adults.. The cabins do not front on the river, but are accessible with a one minute walk. We do not accommodate children or pets.
The internet on our property is through Starlink so you will be able to use the internet while here. It is usually accessible inside your cabin, but periodically the range does not reach that far and will be only accessible from the porch of your cabin. Guests shall not share the internet password with others.
We want to assure our potential guests that we go above and beyond in disinfecting and cleaning our cabins between reservations. We use disinfectants in cleaning the cabins and thoroughly wash all linens and towels prior to your arrival,
Our check-in time is 2:00 pm and our check out time is 10 am. If you need a change to these times, please discuss this with the owner upon arrival.
WE DO NOT TAKE RESERVATIONS MORE THAN 12 MONTHS IN ADVANCE AND STAYS OF LESS THAN 6 NIGHTS ARE NOT BOOKED UNTIL MARCH 1st OF THE BOOKING YEAR IN ORDER TO ALLOW THOSE WHO WOULD LIKE TO BOOK A LONGER STAY THE ABILITY TO BOOK WITHOUT THE DATES BEING BROKEN UP BY SHORTER STAYS.
Prior to checking out, our guests who are booked into our cabin for 6 or more nights for the current season DO have the option of reserving for "their" same time span for the next calendar year. Therefore, if you are interested in booking for a FUTURE season, the best thing to do is to let us know your interest via email and we'll put your name on our reservation waiting list to be contacted as soon as we know whether or not the dates you request are available. Reservations of less than 6 days for upcoming seasons cannot be made until after March 1 unless a smaller "locked in" space shows available on our calendar prior to March 1.
Just for your information, we do not offer discounts or allow free cancellations caused by inclement weather, medical or transportation issues (including, but not limited to "bad" roads). Please check our cancellation policy before booking.

Great host and property

The cabin was beautiful, with amazing wood work. It was super quiet, and the hosts have thought of everything. Our interactions with Carol were pleasant, and she was available for any questions we had. If you are visiting the north east part of Yellowstone Park, we would highly recommend you stay here.

Better than advertised

Absolutely fabulous. Pete and Carol are wonderful host. The information they provided was fabulous. We took hikes based on the information. The cabin was cozy, very clean and well kept, sitting on the porch you smell the pines. We even were able to see a mama moose and 2 of her babies right. The grounds you are able to use are stunning, sitting by the river, fishing.

Absolutely Fabulous!

This was our fourth(?) time staying with the Widmans, and this property never fails to deliver. The proximity to the park and the pass make it the perfect base camp for daily excursions. You should definitely stay here, but please don't take the dates we like. :)

Yellowstone Adventure

Carol’s property is simply amazing, and she is probably the best host we have ever had. The cabin is so cozy and spotless, and very comfortable, with everything you need. The location and surroundings, right next to Yellowstone Park and creekside, are spectacular. Even though we did have to cut our stay short by 2 nights due to the historic floods in Yellowstone, we enjoyed our stay very much and can’t wait to return.

Best cabin in the entire area

Amazing!!! 11 star rating!! Handcrafted mastery. I spent hours looking at the details of the wood work and forgot to watch TV. Super cool, fresh, super pure drinking water. Super quiet and isolated but close to everything. The Widman's are fantastic hosts and we enjoyed a week on their property. Staying at the Widman’s property will be a memory to cherish for a lifetime.

Please Don't Stay Here...So I Don't Have to Scrounge for Dates!

This was our second time staying with the Widmans, and we will definitely stay with them again so long as the rest of you don't take all of the summer dates! The cabin(s) are the perfect location for day trips into Yellowstone, so you don't have to blow your entire budget on food and lodging in the park. We also appreciate that the cabins are pet-free. For those of us with asthma and allergies, it's a challenge finding lodging in the area.

Fantastic Cabin for Yellowstone Adventures

Just 5 minutes from Yellowstone's NE entrance, this cabin was perfect for our week-long excursion in Yellowstone. This cabin is extremely close to the Lamar Valley, which has most of the wildlife in the park (including wolves and grizzly bears). Additionally, very convenient for great cutthroat trout fishing. The cabin itself has all the amenities necessary for a relaxing stay (including TV). Not to mention, Pete and Carol are fantastic resources to help guide your planning in the area. Don't even bother looking at other places for Yellowstone, just book this while it's still open.

Rustic Luxury

Silvertip cabins are the perfect combination of being off the beaten path, but clean, comfortable & functional. Carol & Pete have made sure anything you may need is available. We are VRBO veterans & the cabin was the nicest rental we have stayed in. Our main purpose for visiting was to watch wildlife in the Lamar Valley. The cabins are as close as you can possibly get to the entrance of YNP which made morning & evening trips into the park very convenient. If you are going to this area, Silvertip Cabins is the place to stay.

Quiet, relaxing stay!

My husband and I enjoyed our stay at the Silver Gate cabin. We appreciated the personal touch of the welcome sign upon our arrival. The cabin had everything we needed for cooking - we used the outdoor grill to cook delicious Montana steaks! The cabin was very clean and quaint - the craftsmanship was amazing! We enjoyed visiting with Pete and Carol one evening by the fire pit and they helped us build a fire by providing dry wood as it had rained and the supply near fire pit was wet - that was very thoughtful! We found the cabin to be a quiet retreat after a busy day in Yellowstone. I highly recommend staying at Silver Gate cabins!

First Time To Yellowstone

This was my first trip to Yellowstone and had waited a long time. So we planned this trip as a bucket list trip. We found this online and it couldn't have been better. It was very comfortable and its location couldn't have been better. Its less than a mile outside the Northeast gate. The owners go out of their way to be great host and the cabin and surrounding area is beautiful. If your interested in cabins, it was built by the owner and the craftsmanship is excellent.

A Great Surprise Rental!!

We purchased three nights of our stay at a fund raiser for Just Hope - not really knowing the quality of the property we were bidding on. After reading some reviews, we added an additional two nights which was a brilliant move on our part. The property and the cabin was more than we anticipted. Beautiful well built cabin for two with all the amenities that one could expect. Really, it's more than we had anticipated as a place to stay to visit Yellowstone. The cabin was built by Pete and decorated by Carol. Cutest cabin inside and out ever!!!!!

Great Little Cabin!

Loved this little cabin! It is brand new so everything is clean and in top notch shape plus it's beautifully done. It's in a great location, close to Yellowstone Park (entrance is just a mile or two down the road), which was very handy. The owners, Pete and Carol, are very friendly and accomodating. Only one minor negative that I can think of. Pete is finishing the building next door so there was lots of tools and such in the outdoor area. But that is a very temporary situation. I would definitely recommend this cabin to a friend or relative.

Silvertip Cabins - Pure Gold

The cabin was brand spanking new, clean, cute and fully furnished. The hosts , Pete and Carol, were even nicer. We are amazed that this couple designed and built this place themselves. They are truly a very gifted and really accommodating to everything you need. The craftsmanship showed in everything they do, down to the hand scraped pine railings to the elk antler drawer pulls! We enjoyed our stay so much, that we're looking to possibly get a place of our own. If not, we want to stay for a much longer period with the Widman's, next trip to this wonderful piece of heaven. Thanks again.
