Aspen Cabin Near Yellowstone - Horse Rides, Zip Lining, Rafting, Hiking

Nestled in the heart of the Gallatin mountain range, the Stermitz Ranch has been in our family since 1900. We hope that you enjoy the area as much as we do! Our cozy cabin offers the best of both worlds- all of the peace and seclusion for a truly relaxing vacation, yet still located only 12 miles from the North Entrance of Yellowstone National Park and the shops and restaurants of Gardiner. The cabin is located 5 miles from the highway on a gravel/dirt road which is maintained by the county. Then it's an easy 7 highway miles into Gardiner, MT which is the north entrance to Yellowstone. This cabin is surrounded by fir trees, willows, and aspens with amazing mountain views. There are 3 other cabins nearby. Enjoy viewing the elk, deer, coyotes, bald eagles and occasionally moose, wolves, and bears who frequent the vast open spaces that the ranch has to offer. Horses, cows, and chickens also call this breathtaking place home. Spend time befriending the horses and then let them take you on a memorable ride to the top of the mountain! We also have a Zip Line available on the ranch (ages 5 and up) as well as Whitewater Rafting on the nearby Yellowstone River. Activities typically run from Memorial Day to Labor Day, but dates can vary so please double check with us. If we have enough help, sometimes we are able to offer horseback rides into the fall. Please check with us to confirm dates for activities.

Our cabin is the perfect place to relax. The living room boasts large picture windows with incredible views, and a patio door opening to a large covered porch, vaulted ceiling (with beams from a local historic bridge), a large gas fireplace, and comfortable seating. The kitchen is fully equipped with a microwave, refrigerator, dishwasher, range, and all utensils needed to create wonderful meals to be enjoyed inside or out on the covered porch.

The covered porch, which is equipped with a gas grill and outdoor dining set, is the perfect area for barbecues, viewing the abundant wildlife, and watching the incredible sunsets while sipping a glass of wine. Relax and enjoy the cool evening breezes on a hot summer day. The backyard offers lots of room for setting up a badminton game, volleyball, or horseshoes.

The cabin has four bedrooms and three bathrooms. It offers two master suites each with a king-sized bed and a private bath, and two additional rooms. One of the rooms has a bunk bed, and the other room has a bunk bed and an additional queen bed. The bunk rooms share a bathroom. The cabin sleeps 8-10 people.

Unplug! The cabin does not have wifi or cell service, but there is a land line. Also, please note that the cabin does NOT have a washer and dryer, but there is a laundromat in Gardiner, which is 12 miles from the cabin.

Our cabin is located 20 minutes from Yellowstone Park, 30 minutes from Chico Hot Springs, 10 minutes from world-class fishing on the Yellowstone River, and mere minutes from horseback riding with us on the Stermitz Ranch. In the winter you can cross-country ski and snowshoe from the back door. We are also only 2 hours from snowmobiling in the world-renowned Cooke City area. If you prefer a more laid back vacation, you can spend hours sitting on the porch drinking coffee, reading by the fire, viewing wildlife, sketching the amazing scenery, identifying wildflowers and animal tracks, petting the horses and colts, taking a nature hike from your back door, taking a zip line tour or whitewater rafting.

We are sure that your Yellowstone area vacation will be a unique and memorable experience. We look forward to meeting you!
Your host,
Stacy Stermitz

We had a wonderful and relaxing stay in this Cabin. The Cabin was very clean, well stocked, and spacious, and the surrounding view was breathtaking. Our party enjoyed having evening dinners on the back porch and stargazing after the sun went down. We spent a lot of time in Yellowstone Park, and also went on a rafting trip with Montana Whitewater which located about 25 minutes away.This area is quite close to the North entrance of Yellowstone - around a 30 minute drive - and is accessible by a gravel/dirt road which our rental cars had no problems handling.
Stars we could watch with just the naked eye!
Exposure of the Milkyway with a regular digital camera and tripod! We had never seen stars so brilliant.

We were very pleased with our stay at the Aspen Cabin. It was clean, well appointed and the host was friendly. The only reason why i didnt give a 5 star overall is the road condition going to the cabin. Probably because of the amount of rain when we were there.

Perfect hideaway

We loved the out of the way house, but still close to Yellowstone. We had all the privacy we wanted but still had our hosts nearby to visit on the porch and offer up recommendations for adventures each day. We really loved the visits from the hosts' big, friendly pup and we lived rolling the windows down on our way up and down the looong driveway to listen to the beautiful stream. The kids had a blast hiking up the mountains on the property.

Scenic and peaceful

This is our 2nd time staying here. We stayed with our grown children and their spouses in 2020. We loved it so much we decided to bring both sets of parents back. They loved it as much as us. We saw wildlife every day while there. It’s the perfect location to visit Yellowstone. We unplugged and enjoyed each other so much!

Aspen Cabin Heaven

It makes you never want to go home. Although we came to see all of YNP sometimes we just wanted to hang out at the cabin, coffee or cocktails on the porch and watching the kids play ball and frisbee in the yard and pretend like we never had to leave. It rained a little almost every day but we got to have all the adventures we came for and were always anxious to get back up the mountain to our "home".

The property was great and very relaxing. It is very clear in the description that there is no washing machine so it wasn't a suprise. I would just say that to have a cabin that sleeps 10 people for almost a week it would make it so much better to have a washing machine on the property. It takes away from the overall experience to have to take time out of our vacation to do laundry in a town 30 minutes away. This is the only issue we had with the property.

The cabin was cozy and is on a historic ranch. We knew it was located 4.8 miles up a mountain on an unfinished road which adds 15 minutes. The road was decent and worth it for us as we were looking forward to solitude amidst Yellowstone scenery. However, the pictures currently in the listing do not show the newer, very large house with an extra building, UTVs and trucks parked across the property, etc. - unexpected and disappointing as otherwise the back porch view is stunning. We spotted the horses and a couple of elk on two mornings. The cabin itself needs some TLC such as replacement of the scratched teflon pans, broken drawers fixed, electrical attention, and could benefit from a grading of the final driveway. The owner was terrific in communicating and was willing to accommodate us when we had a car problem, even answering the phone while she was on a plane! Overall this was much better than staying in the town of Gardiner while being convenient to the town and north entrance of Yellowstone.

Needs some caring

This setting is beautiful and I would recommend it for families with kids. That being said, although the direct communication with the owner was great, it would be more helpful to have a book or folder containing necessary info rather than having small individual notes posted throughout the house...they have lots of nice clocks conveniently located throughout the house. Still, none worked (need batteries). Lastly, we have stayed at several vrbo and have never been asked to strip beds put linen in bags, and take out the trash. A cleaning fee is collected, and no guest in anyone's house should be expected to do housework.

Yellowstone Family Vacation

Stermitz Ranch is a beautiful mountain retreat for the whole family. My wife, myself, our 4 kids and my in-laws all stayed together in the Aspen Cabin. We really enjoyed the beautiful surroundings, hiking the nearby mountains, horseback riding, and watching wildlife. We are already trying to plan when we can come again. The Stermitz's were very excellent hosts and responded to any questions we had right away. They also have bear spray provided which was really great since that's money we didn't have to spend for something we wanted to carry but never had to actually use (can't bring bear spray in your luggage, found that out the hard way). The cabin itself is really cozy and has 3 bedrooms on one side of the home and one bedroom on the other (where we put the grandparents). Two of the bedrooms are master bedrooms with an attached bathroom. 4 beds and 3 full bathrooms plus kitchen worked really well for 8 people. The home is stocked with a smattering of great books (including a Yellowstone guide that we found so useful we carried it in the car with us - the maps and information in the book were better than what was in the park!). Also my kids loved the Stermitz's big dog that is very sweet and playful (Stacy was going to keep the dog inside, but my kids asked her to let the dog out) . Lastly, there really is NO CELL SERVICE or internet at all. I thought it was fantastic to unplug for a week. Overall I would recommend this to anyone considering this as a place to stay.

We enjoyed staying at this historic ranch in the Aspen Cabin. The hosts are very responsive, the cabin is attractive and well equipped, and the scenery is gorgeous. The last 4 miles to the cabin are on a windy gravel road that may deter some coming and going but the destination is worth the travel.

Gardiner-Yellowstone Getaway

The cabin was perfect for our party of parents, two adult children and their spouses and two elementary school grandchildren. It was kid friendly with a playground area for running off excess energy and games. The kitchen was amply stocked with cooking utensils, pots and pans, spices, flour, sugar and condiments. The was a bright red "Big Pot" that was perfect for boiling sweet corn and preparing spaghetti sauce. The coffee bean grinder was perfect for my son-in-law who wanted to grind his own coffee. The crock pot allowed us to come home from a day at Yellowstone Park or rafting and doing other activities to a waiting meal. There was bear spray to take on hikes in Yellowstone and the surrounding areas. While the ice maker was not functioning, there were sufficient ice cube trays that we could keep supplies with ice. Minor concerns were that some of the dvds were so scratched they were not playable, one lamp did not work and one remote had batteries missing. All in all a great facility that contributed to a wonderful multi-generational family vacation.
