New Boutique Hotel Near Yellowstone Delivers Cabins and Hot Tubs

Yellowstone Peaks Hotel & Accommodations

Co-owner Mara Hansen has a background in visual arts and design, which has informed the hotel’s atmosphere. The 560-square-foot cabins have a simple, Scandinavian design with tall ceilings, an open layout, floor-to-ceiling windows. Though the framework is minimalist, the interior has plenty of color, like Mara’s paintings on the wall and the green kitchen cabinets. There is an occasional Western touch—anything with “Yellowstone” in the name must oblige—but on the whole the hotel has the kind of aesthetic that fits in anywhere. (You be the judge on whether that’s a compliment or not.)

Cabins can accommodate up to six guests each, between a private bedroom, bunk beds, and pull-out sofa. The cabins feature a well-supplied kitchen and private outdoor area with a grill, firepit, and complimentary firewood. Each cabin also has its own Japanese-inspired, wood-fired hot tub that guests can fill with fresh spring water. (If guests find stoking the fire for hours to bring the tubs up to temp, the hotel will handle prep for a $75 service fee).

The central shared outdoor space offers a communal aspect, featuring a sizable outdoor sauna and larger hot tubs (electric—no wood stoked required), two cold plunges, and a fishing pond.

Prices may vary through the season, but cabins can be rented May through early November for $878 for two nights, which is the minimum stay.
