This cabin met our needs perfectly (we travelled daily to Yellowstone NP during our stay). The cabin is beautiful, comfortable and well-maintained. The setting is gorgeous! We fished for trout in nearby Sunlight Creek, which was a lovely experience (especially when we caught a glimpse of a mama and baby moose), although not a single fish was caught by any of our 4 fishers. The caretakers were pleasant and helpful, and also respected our privacy. I would whole-heartedly recommend this cabin, but I hesitate to talk about it too much, or it may never be available to us again after word gets out!

Skylight Country is just awesome but be prepared for changes in the weather and make sure you can change out a tire, especially if heading up Sunlight road into the wild. There is no cell service so be extra safe up there!

Excellent property. Huge yard. Horseshoes, games, campfires and stars. Trails for all users everywhere. Stay as long as you can. 1 night is not enough.
