Why work at the Log Cabin Cafe?

  1. A summer at the Log Cabin is truly “once in a lifetime.”  Most places simply don’t operate for over 85 years.  Even if you find another cafe with such tradition, there are fewer still with only four family owners. Still fewer located in the wilderness.

  2. You’ll cherish the special friendships you forge at the Log Cabin. You’ll join a group of fellow wilderness journeyers pulled into the Log Cabin’s powerful and indescribable orbit. Silver Gate and Log Cabin friendships will pull at your heart for the rest of your life.

  3. You will contribute to the well being of the Great Yellowstone ecosystem.  Join our eco- pressure on the food industry toward responsibility and accountability. 

 
P.S.  If these reasons are not enough, the market rewards us.  All employees leave enriched in many ways, including financially.

What is work like at the Log Cabin Cafe?

​

  • SOBRIETY: The Log Cabin is strictly sober at all times.  

​​

  • SILVER GATE:  A magical hamlet in the middle of majestic mountains. Silvergate is basically like living in Narnia! Super special, surrounded by silence. Solitude always comes with deep inner growth. And we lean on each other. Our community is always a comfort. Though small, our bonds are mighty and memories last. We offer outings: hot springs, rodeos, and of course touring Yellowstone. Technology IS limited, be aware there is no cell service and only satellite internet onsite with high speed internet 3 miles away.
