A more than century old mining town close to park, much cheaper than staying in the park. Small rooms in Yellowstone Park started at $400+. Much cheaper in Cooke City. Meals in Yellowstone Park are poor quality and expensive. You can visit several bars and excellent cafes in Cooke and Silver Gate, meals are still pricey but remember Cooke City is at the end of the road for supplies. We came for wolf (observed several feeding packs), saw moose, mountain goats, grizzly and black bear with 30 miles of our hotel so it was convenient to buy food and gas cheaper outside the park and be back in park in minutes. Park was crowded and overbooked so Cooke City was a quiet sleepy mining town that shuts down early so you need to order steaks early as they can run out on weekends. Bars are open fairly late; Silver Gate has a great 150+ yr old bar with summertime entertainment and food. Cooke City is a fun old town with buffalo and bears walking the streets after dark so keep your eyes open.

We rented side by sides and took them around the area which was incredible!! Highly recommend doing this, can’t beat the views and hidden gems! We were at the top of the mountain looking down at 6 different mountain lakes at once and then made it back down lakeside enjoying the views. The ride is rough at times but so worth it! And we saw a group of moose at the end of our ride!

Cooke city has a fabulous location.
Cooke city has a fabulous location. Accommodation is very basic and expensive. Bring your own food. It is so near lamar valley that it makes the effort both to come here and to stay here worth it. Don’t expect facilities though.

Quaint small western town with locally owned businesses.
Quaint small western town with locally owned businesses. No chain restaurants. Could walk safely any where. People are extremely friendly and helpful. Loved the town. This was my second stay. Restaurants/cafes were closing for their inability to have food orders delivered so they could serve customers. Very sad during the end of the season (last 10 days of Sept). But absolutely loved the elk chili & elk burgers! ! would have loved staying there in early Sept.
Perfect location to be in Lamar Valley fast. No long lines to get through the Northeast Gate. I recommend staying here to concentrate on wildlife of Yellowstone. Also close to the beautiful Beartooth Highway and Pass.

Beautiful drive in. Great views.
Beautiful drive in. Great views. I stayed end of season so it got cold when the sun went down. Lots of places were already closed up for the season, but it was still nice. I’m sure it’s better during season. I will definitely come to this area again and would be happy to stay at any of the several hotels I saw.
This place is like a cabin in the woods. We wished we stayed her more than just one day to explore the quaint town. The forest is at the back of the motel as well. The room was also the big. After staying in 11 hotels during our 2 week road trip, you appreciate the extra room with a family. The beds were comfortable. They motel also offers washer and dryer (additional cost). Wifi was spotty, but secured. We were informed of the lack of strong internet, but glad there was any at all.
Very friendly, helpful owners. Cooke City is an interesting historical town close to the Lamar Valley in Yellowstone. It's also at the opposite end of the amazing Beartooth Highway from Red Lodge. This was a great place to stop so that we could get up early the next morning for a memorable wildlife tour. It's quiet, clean, and comfortable. If we're back in this area, I'd definitely stay here again.
We appreciated the friendly and helpful manager/owner. The room was clean, with a comfortable bed, and the stay was quiet, even though there were snowmobiles in the area. Right across the street was the Miner's Saloon, with good food. Cooke City was a good winter location for driving to the Lamar Valley and beyond, in Yellowstone, for wildlife viewing and/or cross-country skiing.
Mountain views and a cozy small town, location is perfect, close to Yellowstone, Beartooth highway, Chief Joseph Scenic Byway and Cody.
The townspeople we're nice, gift shop across the street is nice and reasonably priced, gas station attendant was great and gave me his wifi password since wifi is non existent at the hotel and the cafe has good food and friendly wait staff.
we love the location of silver gate lodging. staying in a fully equipped cabin makes it really easy to prepare meals and have easy access to the park. we always see plenty of wildlife as well. it is only 3 miles from Cooke City where there are a few restaurants to pick from
Nice little room at a quaint but well maintained hotel, Western vibe, nice touch with flower pots hanging from the porches, lots of amenities available considering isolation of the small mountain village, best location to be in Lamar Valley early or late in the day
The location was the only thing we liked as it was in Cooke City, so very close to Lamar Valley for early morning animal sightings. The man who checked us in was also very nice. There's a great little coffee shop right down the street.
Soda Butte Hotel could have been fun. Nice lobby and lounge/bar/casino area structurally and as furnished but all of it was closed. Good location in a quaint very small town. Walked to a restaurant for dinner.
More than we expected, Cooke City is tiny but interesting and a good place to explore northern Yellowstone (Especially Lamar Valley). Beartooth Highway is an amazing experience! Motel was small and friendly.
The location in Cooke City is excellent, and is very close to Yellowstone Park. Surrounded by magnificent moutains and foreats and streams. We loved the area and the little town.
Room was ok, a little dated, but fine for a short stay.
Location is good, close to Yellowstone and the surrounding area is beautiful.
Cooke City is very pretty little town
