Everything about this beautiful cabin is perfect. The location could not be better as is sits atop of a hill where you can see mountains out of every window. It is so close to the entrance to Yellowstone, Gardiner and not to far from Livingston. Everyday we saw the Elk herd from the balcony. It had everything you may need to make your stay comfortable from the bed, full kitchen, cozy blankets to the nice dining and living room furniture. The hosts were kind and welcoming. We are so grateful we stayed here.

Beautiful and peaceful space
We loved staying here. It was so quiet and pieceful and not far from Yellowstone, where we spent our days. I'll never forget the first morning when we woke up to find the place surrounded by a heard of elk. We just opened all the curtains, made coffee, and sat and enjoyed the view as they picked their way past and had their own breakfast. It was a magical experience for my family. I hope we can come back another time.

The Overlook, stunning views and cozy cabin
My family of 5 stayed at The Overlook” at Little trail creek cabins and it was perfect for us. The cabin was clean, cozy and had amazing views. This cabin had everything we needed and Shawn was so lovely and responsive to us during our stay and leading up to our stay as I had a few questions. Its about 10-15 minutes from the Yellowstone Hot springs which my kids loved after a long day of exploring Yellowstone. It’s also 7 minutes from the town of Gardiner and the North entrance Yellowstone. We spent the mornings on the front porch drinking coffee with amazing Mountain View’s then off to explore Yellowstone National park. We came home in the early evening to eat and relax and it was perfect. Shawn also has items for kids to play with, a trampoline and other items for purchase. If you need ice they have it too! They’ve thought of everything, we will be back and I highly recommend it!

Wonderful Stay!
This property & the owners are so great! The view is incredible! We sat on the front porch & enjoyed the view of the mountains everyday. The trail behind the property has a creek running through it. It’s so peaceful! The drive to Yellowstone is only 10 minutes. The elk herd moved through the property every morning & evening too! The owners are very sweet & friendly. Also, the horses & dogs made the stay extra special! Loved it!

Great location & property
We had a wonderful time staying at this cabin. Perfectly sized and even more perfectly located to Gardiner and the Yellowstone north entrance. The hosts were great at communicating and everything we needed was there, including a wealth of info in the cabin book. Loved sitting on the porch to watch the weather and wildlife! Our whole family loved it.

Gorgeous views close to YNP
Our family really enjoyed our stay! It was the perfect home away from home for our trip. Laundry on site, beautiful gas grill, full kitchen and quality bedding. We loved that they have everything you need for a great day at Yellowstone at your fingertips. Tour guides, bear spray, cooler, zip lock bags, ice, etc. There are plenty of businesses open in Gardiner to shop, grab coffee or dine in on your way into or home from the park. We adore the area and hope to return!The owners are on site very friendly and helpful. Thank you again!

Just heaven
Everything about this place is amazing! Very well decorated and immersed. in western original Montana Wyoming style and decor! Great location to Yellowstone and Gardiner for quick meals and entrance into the park. Everything has easy access to get too. Very comfy place. Had at least 10 to 20 elk within close view every morning from the kitchen and living room windows . Gardiner is a hidden gym . Had all the amenities we needed .Great views of devils slide and valley. Beautiful sunsets every evening . Beds were very comfy. Make sure to bring your binoculars to see wildlife up and across the mountain. Shawn was very attentive to our needs and quick to respond thru texting. Very worth the value ! Looking forward to staying here again and looking forward to our next trip to Yellowstone !
