Amazing view and beautiful and peaceful cabin
The cabin is very clean and beautifully decorated with an amazing view to see the snow mountain and surrounded by pine tree forest and a small creek. It is very peaceful and in a quiet area on the back of the hill. Jack offers us warm hospitality. The guide book prepared by the host provides helpful information. My family including two kids had a fond memory there. Hope to come back and visit again. Thank you Jack!

Comfort in the wilderness
The best mountain view from a clean and comfortable cabin! Convenient for northern Yellowstone visit and enjoying the abundant wildlife. Great host. We can't recommend this cabin more.

Cozy Cabin, Beautiful Property
The Back of Beyond is a small cabin perfect for newlyweds or a young couple...there is room for a couple of children. It is immaculately clean with a small kitchen (no range - but microwave, fridge, Keurig and hotplate - it works!) The cabin is perched on the side of a mountain surrounded by soaring pines. A small creek runs beside it and wildlife abounds. Enjoy!!

Wonderful view from the porch
My husband and I enjoyed our 3 nights in this remote cabin. The view and wildlife were incredible. We were able to disconnect from our busy lives and enjoy the outdoors for a few days. The cabin is only a few miles from the northeast entrance of Yellowstone.

Quaint natural retreat
This is a fantastic place for 2 people to enjoy the wilderness with excellent access to Yellowstone’s North east entrance as well as friendly and yummy restaurants and stores in Cooke City. Be prepared for a steep ladder to the upper lost where you sleep but of your an active person this as a great spot. Thx Jack!

Gorgeous cabin!
Cozy, comfy, clean and beautiful cabin in a wonderful location. Although it's hard to get network there, the owner's directions were pretty helpful, I'd recommend getting there before dark and it's easy to find. Very convenient if you want to be in Lamar valley till later in evening to see animals!
