One of the best things about the Log Cabin is that the food is excellent. Somehow, even though it's a very long drive from, say, the nearest airport or railroad freight depot, they always manage to have fresh ingredients and fresh ideas of how to prepare them.
It's in a good location if you're staying outside of Northeast Entrance during the summer season. Because the cabin isn't insulated - just one layer of logs between you and the great outdoors - they're closed in the winter. The times I've been in Yellowstone in the winter I've really missed being able to eat there.
Kevin and I stopped one day for a yummy lunch and learned that they are celebrating 75 continuous years of operation, which is also pretty darned amazing. We picked up a flyer which tells us:
"The Log Cabin has had only four owners since it was built. It is now owned by life-long, year-round Silver Gate residents Jay Schifferdecker and Laurie Hinck. Along with [their] parents, Larry and Vranna Sue, [they] bought the beloved Log Cabin from Kay and Cecil King who ran it for 30 years."
It's great that it's still owned by true locals. May the Log Cabin Café continue and bring prosperity to its owners for another 75 years!
