Basin Station Cabin

Cute and cozy cabin, perfect base for exploring Yellowstone!

it's a simple good cabin, we used it as base camp to explore yellowstone and it worked out great!

The cabin was fantastic...clean and cozy. The only reason it doesn't have a five star is because of the approach and location. Disclaimer: We are not people who give a low score because of something random that has nothing to do with a cabin or the approach...like "my son flaked on me so 1-star" or "the hunting trip was bad so 2-stars"

The walk on the highway and the walk on Denny Creek road were shorter than expected. We dropped our backpacks and snowshoes at the turnoff for Denny Creek and parked at the Buttermilk Trailhead (which was not marked going west and was .65 miles from Denny Creek Rd) My wife favors 4 stars because walking on the highway with icy conditions was definitely a tad sketch. We walked in and it was only 1.6 miles to the cabin.

The cabin is pretty big with two rooms and a huge wood stove. The bedroom gets really warm but the living room/kitchen remains much cooler. If you melt snow for water and make a tiny fire to use the "eyes" or "burners" on the actual cooking stove in the kitchen (NOT in the larger oven portion), the kitchen warms up as well. There was plenty of wood and a very nice pit toilet.

The reason I gave 4 stars instead of 5 is because even in winter, it was pretty busy around here. The cabin sits right on Denny Creek Road and it is really popular for snowmobiling. In the summer, it is a regular road, there are several cabins in site and I imagine it is buzzing with activity. If you like more people around then you might give it five stars.

A great cabin with a very easy in!

This place was awesome!

Easy to follow directions, the cabin was clean and cared for, area was beautiful and there as plenty of hiking in the area! Loved it!

My border collies and I had a great experience, again. Basin Station is my favorite forest service cabin. I once again brought along a temporary fence to put on the west side of the property so the dogs would not wander on to the county road. On Monday October 7th I got some very nice photos of the Aurora Borealis with the scenic barn in the foreground. Thank You.

Very cool and rustic cabin. Wood fire heater kept us very warm even in the cold temperatures. Plenty of firewood and kindling were provided along with the basic kitchen necessities. Outhouse is new and very clean. Highly recommend!

Cabin was much larger than we’d anticipated. The new outhouse was in great shape and wonderful to use. Just make sure you have enough water with you, but we’d definitely go back again!

The cabin is really clean and comfortable. The area is beautiful and quiet, though there is some local traffic on the road out front. There are hiking trails and scenic walking. It's about a 20 min drive to the entrance to Yellowstone NP, 10-15 minutes to the town of W. Yellowstone. I had cell reception the whole time. Highly recommend for anyone looking to be comfortable but also somewhat secluded and with limited distractions.

There were no frying pans so I called the ranger station and was told I had to make do with what was there but miraculously a brand new frying pan showed up the next morning and then the next day a few more sauce pans appeared on the porch. A big thank you for that really topped off a wonderful week at the cabin with good friends and family.
