What an unbelievable week we had on our first visit to Yellowstone! It was the forty something parents and 2 teenagers! Marcia’s home is a true gem, and if there is the perfect place to stay near the park, this is it!!! Quiet, quaint, and friendly is how I would describe Silver Gate and neighboring Cooke City. For the teens, there is Wi-Fi for night. But the great thing is, when exploring, there no cell service or internet, so we get to unplug! We saw wolves, moose, grizzlies, goats, big horn sheep, and everything in between. The wonderful thing is, most things were seen within a 10 minute drive from the house in Pebble Creek and Soda Butte on the way to Lamar Valley. I cannot say enough wonderful things about the location of this home. It is away from the hustle and bustle and crowds that we saw in other areas of Yellowstone. One thing I would recommend….plan to cook food in your cabin and have picnics during the day. There are several places to eat, but Miners Saloon was the only one that was delicious. Marcia’s kitchen is amazing and has everything you would need to cook inside or outside while having a nice view of the mountains. The locals in this area are very friendly and helpful as well. I can’t wait to go back later in the year so Marcia can show us how to catch some cutthroat! Thank you for sharing your family’s home with us. I know it is very special to you as you have been visiting for over 20 years in the summer. We appreciate you sharing this place with us!
