The cabin is nicely supplied with essentials, but the best part is the peace you feel while staying at the cabin. The views of the mountains were spectacular and as you wake up looking out to see what wildlife is in the yard. The proximity to North Yellowstone entrance is perfection.

The tipi was larger than we thought, very spacious, cozy, and it had 2 heaters inside. We slept great. Family of 4 here. The manager was very welcoming, and that night they made a campfire, provided marshmallows for the children, and beer/wine for the adults. I can’t say enough good things about Dreamcatcher. 5-star, will return next season.”
