Fodor's Expert Review Silver Gate Lodging

109 U.S. 212 W, Montana, 59081, USA

This friendly summer-only compound that offers everything from rustic but economical motel rooms to roomy cabins that can sleep up to 10 guests has the perfect location for exploring Lamar Valley—it's in tiny and tranquil Silver Gate, a mile from Yellowstone's Northeast Entrance. The log-style buildings exude Western charm, and cabins have porches and outdoor seating areas; most have kitchens. An on-site general store is stocked with light groceries, beer and wine, and outdoor gear.

PROS

  • well-stocked general store
  • close proximity to Lamar Valley
  • good for families and larger groups

CONS

  • in a tiny town with few amenities
  • three-night minimum in high season
  • least-expensive units are quite small
