1. Small but spacious cabin near Yellowstone Arch (from USD 155)
From the outside, this cabin looks cramped. Don’t be fooled though, since it has enough space for two travelers. The cabin also features contemporary furnishings and rustic decors to make any stay wonderful. For guests’ convenience, the cabin has been fitted with a queen-sized bed spacious enough for couples. Fans have been provided to compensate for the lack of airconditioning. You’ll find an adequately-stocked mini-kitchen inside so you can cook up a meal before exploring the park. The bathroom comes with a shower too. Perhaps the biggest reason why should stay here is its proximity to Yellowstone Arch — it’s just five blocks away from the cabin.

9. Ranch-style homestead located in an unpaved alley (from USD 275)
This homestead is another great option if you are coming along with a huge number of people. In fact, this one is decades-old, having built way back in 1932 on an unpaved alley that parallels Scott Street. That’s the reason why the exterior of the house seems old-fashioned. However, there is nothing old-fashioned about the house’s interior. Inside, you’ll find three bedrooms a huge dining room and kitchen area, plus a single bathroom. The wooden furnishings inside are reminiscent of the property’s heritage. There are two porches onsite so you can enjoy nature at its best.
