Wonderful Getaway!

This was a perfect place to stay, just far enough from town to feel private and secluded, but still a quick drive to get to town and to Yellowstone park entrance. The cabin was comfortable, clean, and welcoming; and we loved visiting the horses just outside our door!

And I quote, “Host were very nice and cabin was impressive”. Overall, Cleanliness, Communication all 5/5 stars. Overall- 4 stars. 😩. I did let her know that this greatly negatively affects our business. She wants to hold us responsible for Yellowstone National Park not being fully open in the winter. Please come & be impressed with our cabin! Ann, I am glad you enjoyed our, “impressive cabin”. Thank you for the messages complimenting all of the extras we provide and the decorations. I am sad you did not do any homework and did not leave a fair review of our cabin.

exceeded expectations

This is a super nice place. Very comfy beds. The central house fan sucks in cold air at night (during the summer) to keep the cabin cool the next day. Excellent location just outside Gardiner, very near Yellowstone. The owners really go above and beyond to make you feel welcome and comfortable!

Very happy living in such a beautiful cabin for a week

We love this place as well as horses belonging to Shawn. You can see beautiful views in the morning. And you can see wild elks in the afternoon. This is a very quiet cabin, near the town but outside noisy. These days will be our family's forever memory and we will be back someday.

Convenience

This is a beautiful cabin!!! It was so peaceful and relaxing. Sitting on porch overlooking mountains and having Elk walk in front of cabin. We also went off season so the only entrance open to Yellowstone Park was North Entrance. This cabin is ideal for driving to that entrance. There wasn’t a lot of restaurants open due to off season but there was a cafe that was amazing!! We definitely will tell other people about this rental and we will be going back!!

Amazing location, located 5 minutes from the Park entrance!

This location and house was perfect for our 3 adults, one teen and one youth. Plenty of space for everyone and a fully stocked kitchen for our cooking needs. We had a s'mores fire out back and one morning saw Elk roaming through the property. Owners even had bug and bear spray that we could take on our hikes into the park. Definitely would recommend this property and we would stay there again. Shaun was a great host!

No words can describe

This was absolutely one of the best places we have stayed in. So comfortable and the host was very welcoming. The cabin had so many “extras for the best possible experience. The cleanliness of the cabin was perfect as for the location. Just minutes from the entrance to the park. Every morning we enjoyed coffee while watching the wildlife across the road but often the elk was in the front yard. Trust me when I say, don’t look any further. This is perfect.

Relaxing and Scenic Cabin

This cabin sits a few miles outside of Gardiner, MT and faces beautiful mountains, which makes for an epic view during sunrise. Yellowstone NP north entrance is just a short drive away. This spacious cabin is well decorated, has modern appliances, comfortable bed, nice kitchen, and comfortable furniture. Having stayed at many cabin rentals over the years, I would describe this one as a luxurious cabin when compared to my previous rentals. I will likely stay here again in the future. I highly recommend this rental. The owners were very nice and easy to communicate with.

Perfect Stay Near Yellowstone

Sage Cabin is in an ideal location to explore and immerse yourself in Yellowstone. It's an easy 10 minute drive to the North park entrance. There was wildlife everywhere, some easily viewed from the front porch! The cabin is well appointed and was perfect for my elderly parents, husband, and I. The shower seat, grab bars, etc. helped ensure a safe and anxiety-free trip. Shawn (host) was so sweet, responsive, and helpful. There were so many thought things provided like maps, bear spray (!), games, laundry supplies, etc. We highly recommend and would absolutely return! Thanks for helping make our Yellowstone dream come true!

Gardiner, the north entrance to Yellowstone!!!

We had 4 horses right outside our back door and a large window to view them from!!! They were so friendly and fun to watch. The owners of the horses and property were so helpful with the cute town of Gardiner and Yellowstone! They thought of everything to make our stay comfortable and fun. We met them around a campfire one night and enjoyed talking to them! The Sage Cabin was spacious and quite comfortable! It was just a 5 minute drive to the entrance to Yellowstone. We went daily with our little dog and had an incredible time, seeing all of the animals, the mud pots, the geysers including Old Faithful, Yellowstone Grand Canyon, the waterfalls, and the other beautiful scenery. It was always good to go back to our cabin at the end of the day. It was on several beautiful acres! Now we have special memories of Gardiner, Yellowstone, and the Sage Cabin!!!
