Yellowstone has re-opened following historic flooding! WE ARE OPERATING AS NORMAL.

In October 2022, Yellowstone National Park completed emergency road revisions for the northern range, allowing the North and Northeast entrances to re-open after four months following the damage from the major spring flooding event. This means our cabin and Silver Gate are accessible via the park, as in years past. We're excited to welcome guests back to Silver Willows!

Thank you for the outpouring of concern and for your continued support during this challenging time.

Get away from the highway! The Silver Willows "Ursa" cabin is one of the region's newest rental cabins, completed in the fall of 2016.

Ursa, or "The Bear," is the sister cabin to Silver Gate's highest-reviewed rental property, Sarva ("The Moose," VRBO #316248). This cabin is situated in the eastern meadow of a four acre parcel of land, bordered by pine and aspen trees to the west and north, with Soda Butte Creek a stone's throw away. Tall pine trees ensure privacy between the two cabins. The property is located on the south side of Soda Butte Creek, so you'll be away from the highway traffic that runs through town.

This cabin comfortably sleeps 4 (1 queen bed, 2 full beds), with an added raised air mattress available for a fifth guest. Please note that a fifth guest will invoke the $30/night extra persons fee.

Ursa is found in the small town of Silver Gate, Montana, 1 mile outside of Yellowstone National Park’s northeast entrance and 3 miles down the road from Cooke City. The Silver Gate/Cooke City area is popular with wolf watchers (the Lamar Valley is a short drive away!) and park visitors looking to get away from the hustle and bustle of the larger border towns, as well as winter sports enthusiasts who come to take advantage of the recreation opportunities in the Beartooth Mountains.

The Silver Willows property is located away from the highway on 4 acres of woodland bordered by Soda Butte Creek, which runs through the property on its way into Yellowstone National Park. This cabin sleeps up to 4 people on a queen bed (in the master bedroom) and 2 full beds (in the loft), all with memory foam mattresses. It's a great option for smaller groups and families, while larger groups may want to consider the Sarva cabin.

Because the property is south of the highway, snowmobilers have quick access to the Bannock Trail and can ride directly from the property to the backcountry sledding areas beyond. In 2016 we have added additional trailer parking areas on the property for those hauling in their sleds.

Whether you want to enjoy the wonders of Yellowstone, a quiet picnic at the creek or a snowmobile ride in winter, Silver Willows is the perfect getaway.
