Silver Gate Lodging has the best location for staying right outside Yellowstone National Park if…read moreyour interest is spending time in Lamar Valley. It is a three-minute drive to the park entrance and is also close to Cooke City, the neighboring town. I spent three nights here and was pleased to be close to Lamar and the wildlife--on previous visits to the park, I had stayed inside Yellowstone, closer to the geysers and hot springs. The lodge has motel room and cabins. The rooms are quite basic. I was hoping for a microwave in my motel room but had to walk to the next building to find one in a common area. The tavern nearby has good but not great food. The general store is quite well-stocked with snacks and souvenirs. It is also the only location that has internet access--you do not have internet connectivity in the motel rooms or cabins. Five stars to the staff at the store, especially Tom who is an expert on the area and generous with his advice. You will find him sitting by the outdoor fire in the evening hours. I will be back here next time I visit Lamar Valley. For location alone, this lodge is worth the stay.

It is located in a spot that is completely wooded yet you have incredible views of the surrounding mountains. We saw moose, deer (within 10 feet of our cabin porch) and birds we had never seen before! Each morning started out with coffee on the cabin porch where we lingered just appreciating the woods and the wildlife. It thundered and rained nearly every day but for short times, so that no plans were spoiled. Carol and Pete and their dog Kelly are gracious hosts providing all the creature comforts (tv, cell service, laundry) along with opportunities to see a mother moose and her two calves enjoying a salt lick - thanks to Pete! We had easy access to Silver Gate and Cooke City, especially "Stop the Car" ice cream! We were within 7 minutes of the NE Entrance to YNP, so we made many trips into the park where we saw buffalo, goats. fox, wild horses and a grizzly bear! This was the trip of a lifetime! Thank you so much Carol and Pete!! We intend to come back! Judy and Rick H.

It was quite a disappointment…read more The only thing we could see from our "basement" cabin was an alley and a abandoned run down cabin next door. As soon as we walked in we could smell propane which made the kids want to leave before they got sick. We stuck it out as we didn't have options and it was late. Some 110 outlets did not work. The batteries were dead in a smoke detector so had to call them to bring batteries. Bedding smelled bad to the point that the kids layer clothes on bed to lay on top of. Would not stay here again.

We had one outside bed in lower living room and needed an extra bed for my son. The staff was extremely friendly and helped us with a small foldable foam bed.

We initially struggled a bit to spot the garbage disposal box.

We had plenty of room for everyone. Of the 8 bedrooms, 6 have king size beds, and two of them have private full baths. There are 3 additional full baths for the others. The cabin itself is pretty new, so everything was clean and in working order. The location is very close to the west entrance to the park, and is convenient to downtown shops and restaurants. The kitchen had plenty of plates, silverware, pots and pans, etc. I was especially impressed with the quality of the pots and pans, very nice for a rental. The cabin also has a full sized washer and dryer, which was very convenient. The WIFI was available, but I have to say it is not very fast. Considering the location, this was not too surprising. There were no problems with billing, or unexpected charges. Overall a great choice for a large party, I highly recommend this location!

It is in Emigrant a small town that boasts a great bakery and great BBQ in the warm season. To get to and from the Cabin you drive through the Chico Hot Springs Resort. In addition to hot springs Chico has a riding stable and adventure company for white water, scenic floats and hiking. This is nice if you don't want to drive to Gardiner some days. There is also a nice hike to a falls just up the road from the cabin. The cabin itself was excellent. We were there on some hot days and the cabin stayed cool if you closed the blinds as instructed. There was a full kitchen and while fussy cook husband might have wanted sharper knives for prep work he managed to make some fine meals. He also used the charcoal grill but the black flies were thick in the heat. Better him than me! Happily the long porch facing the stream is fully screened. No biting things there. The porch had a casual dining table and glider bench. The cabin had two bedrooms and one and a half baths. The half bath was in a utility room which included a washer and dryer. Priceless! There was also a comfy living room with two sofas and a glider chair. We never used the TV but it was there too. The cabin had wifi thankfully because there wasn't much cell reception. Basically it was a great place to get away, listen to the creek at night and relax.

We were not disappointed! The location was ideal for the East park entrance and a quick shopping trip to Cody. Our hostess, Diana, could not be more accommodating. Although the cabins are designed with comfort in mind, we were able to enjoy the large deck each evening. Not having great WiFi service was not an issue - our teenage grandchildren found plenty of entertainment, most importantly learning how to play pool! In order to keep our group engaged, we held a pictorial scavenger hunt, 60-piece Lego contest for the grands and an all-inclusive art project where each grandchild drew something from the park on one canvas. Diana was gracious enough to allow us access to the dining hall so we could all be together during these activities and 'awards' ceremony! Finally, we all agreed that this holiday was at the top of our list of all our family gatherings. Should we find ourselves anywhere near this area in the future, there is no question we would once again stay at the Creekside Lodge!!!
