About this cabin rental

**New as of July 2026: After receiving many requests over the years, Ursa finally has a fire pit!**

We are encouraging safe, responsible use of this new feature, as summer fire danger is always on the back of our minds. Please enjoy the pit and seating area, and remember to douse all fires and clean any food remnants to protect our property and our local wildlife. The neighboring Sarva Cabin now also has a new fire pit!

Get away from the highway! The Silver Willows "Ursa" cabin is the sister cabin to Silver Gate's highest-reviewed rental property, Sarva ("The Moose," VRBO #316248).

This cabin is situated in the eastern meadow of a four acre parcel of land, bordered by pine and aspen trees to the west and north, with Soda Butte Creek a stone's throw away. Tall pine trees ensure privacy between the two cabins. The property is located on the south side of Soda Butte Creek, so you'll be away from the highway traffic that runs through town.

This cabin comfortably sleeps 4 (1 queen bed, 2 full beds), with an added raised air mattress available for a fifth guest. Please note that a fifth guest will invoke the $30/night extra persons fee.

Ursa is found in the small town of Silver Gate, Montana, 1 mile outside of Yellowstone National Park’s northeast entrance and 3 miles down the road from Cooke City. The Silver Gate/Cooke City area is popular with wolf watchers (the Lamar Valley is a short drive away!) and park visitors looking to get away from the hustle and bustle of the larger border towns, as well as winter sports enthusiasts who come to take advantage of the recreation opportunities in the Beartooth Mountains.

The Silver Willows property is located away from the highway on 4 acres of woodland bordered by Soda Butte Creek, which runs through the property on its way into Yellowstone National Park. This cabin sleeps up to 4 people on a queen bed (in the master bedroom) and 2 full beds (in the loft), all with memory foam mattresses. It's a great option for smaller groups and families, while larger groups may want to consider the Sarva cabin.

Because the property is south of the highway, snowmobilers have quick access to the Bannock Trail and can ride directly from the property to the backcountry sledding areas beyond. In 2016 we added additional trailer parking areas on the property for those hauling in their sleds.

Whether you want to enjoy the wonders of Yellowstone, a quiet picnic at the creek or a snowmobile ride in winter, Silver Willows is the perfect getaway.

Perfectly situated right outside the NE Gate, this cabin couldn’t be better. Every detail is planned down to the silverware and Yellowstone photography by the owners on the walls. No clutter, stocked wonderfully, immaculately clean, check in process and communication with owners was exceptionally smooth. 15 stars out of 5. Absolutely perfect.

We loved our stay at Silver Willows Ursa cabin. The cabin has everything you could possibly need to feel the convenience and comfort of home. The kitchen is well supplied with everything from tools to spices. The bed was comfortable and it was nice to have plenty of towels. We were grateful for the supplied laundry soap to do a couple loads of laundry as it was very convenient after getting dirty from miles and miles of hiking. We enjoyed watching movies at night from their large selection to choose from. The host was very communicative, friendly, and easy to contact. We even saw a few friendly foxes and beautiful blue jays out the window. We will definitely be back and choose Ursa cabin again!
