The ultimate Yellowstone escape! Breathtaking views of the gorgeous Montana mountainside from nearly every room, the constant sound of Bear Creek running just below, and located only 6 miles to the North entrance of Yellowstone National Park (the ONLY year-round entrance) where you will have access to dramatic canyons, wildlife viewing, lush forests, alpine rivers, hot springs, and gushing geysers; including its most famous, Old Faithful.
The cabin is surrounded by untouched land all around and the sounds of Bear Creek instantly make you feel connected with the beautiful nature of Montana! Guests often see wildlife every day such as a beautiful mule deer, foxes, and elk with some reports of a mink along with a herd of horses across the hillside. Bear sightings have occurred nearby as well! Located between 3 area outfitters, you can easily enjoy horseback riding, fly-fishing, backcountry hunting, backcountry skiing, dog sledding, snow coach tours, horse-drawn sleigh rides, snowshoeing, ice climbing, river rafting, and so much more! One of the outfitters (Specimen Creek Outfitters) is within walking distance where you can enjoy private horseback rides through the golden aspen trees, alongside babbling creeks, and up the mountain!
**Attention! In order to experience these breathtaking mountain vistas, please note that the road leading to the cabin is consistently uphill. While 4-wheel drive is not obligatory at all times, we strongly recommend using 4-wheel drive throughout the year. However, it is imperative to have 4-wheel drive during the winter months.**
