The Wapiti Bear Den is the perfect place to get away from it all. Situated on 4 private acres, we're surrounded by the soaring Absaroka mountains and the quiet of nature. The Bear Den is located in beautiful Wapiti, Wyoming, just 30 minutes from the East Entrance of Yellowstone National Park and 20 minutes from Cody, Wyoming. This spacious one bedroom guest house was newly remodeled with rustic western decor and includes air conditioning, a full bath, a fully equipped kitchen and a large living room with a queen size sleeper sofa.

After a day of exploring, you can kick back on your own patio and enjoy the mountain views and wide open spaces. If cooking is your passion, prepare dinners on the outdoor grill or in the Bear Den's full kitchen. Wireless internet, HULU TV, a DVD player/DVD library and a collection of books, are also provided during your stay. During hot summer days, turn up the AC to keep cool and comfortable. The Wapiti Bear Den has all the comforts of home plus Yellowstone country right out your front door.

Our location between Cody, Wyoming and Yellowstone National Park makes the Bear Den the ideal home base to explore the area. The road west to Yellowstone's East Entrance travels through a wide canyon carved by the pristine North Fork of the Shoshone River, where wildlife and rugged beauty abound. President Theodore Roosevelt called this scenic byway 30 of the most beautiful miles in America.

The gateway town of Cody, Wyoming, lies 20 miles to the east of the Bear Den. Cody, known as The Rodeo Capital of the World, offers a nightly rodeo in the summer months, along with shopping, dining, and the must-see Buffalo Bill Center of the West, a complex of five museums featuring art and artifacts of the American West.

For the horse lover, the McCullough Peaks Herd Management Area, home to over 100 wild horses, is just a short drive from the Bear Den. Located 20 miles east of Cody, Wyoming, McCullough Peaks boasts bands of flashy pintos, colorful sorrels and speckled sabinos, along with pronghorn, sage grouse, prairie dogs, and other native wildlife.

The Bear Den is also a short drive from the Beartooth Highway – a National Scenic Byways All-American Road. This 68 mile byway winds its way through southwest Montana and northwest Wyoming and leads into Yellowstone National Park at its Northeast Entrance. It's a must see!

If fly fishing is your passion, the Bear Den is located less than a five minute drive to fishing access on the renowned Shoshone River. The North Fork of the Shoshone hosts rainbow trout, mountain whitefish, brook trout, Yellowstone cutthroat, brown trout, rainbow-cutthroat hybrids and some lake trout on the lower stretches of the river.

Whether you spend your time exploring Yellowstone or visiting the Cody/Wapiti area, the outdoor recreation possibilities of northwest Wyoming are endless. Hiking, fishing, horseback-riding, photography, bird watching, wildlife watching, and biking are just a few of the many recreational pursuits that you can enjoy during your stay. With their thorough knowledge of the area, Sandy and Steve can answer any questions you might have to help make your stay the best it can be.

    We stayed two cozy, quiet, comfortable nights at the Bear Den! If your looking for an incredible rural, peaceful, serene place to stay on your trip to the East Entrance of Yellowstone NP then look no more, you'll love The Bear Den! Its very clean and incredibly charming! Sandy was helpful with recommendations too! We enjoyed a yummy steak dinner at The Proud Cut Saloon then we had a blast at The Cody Rodeo! Our 3 day adventure through Yellowstone NP was breathtaking! We look forward to another stay! Sincerely, Candie & John

    This was an amazing location with wonderful views of the mountains and a newly renovated guest house! Sandy and Steve provided thoughtful snacks for our family and even included pancake mixes and coffee/tea for our morning breakfast. Sandy is very attentive to details and has provided everything that a family might need for a restful stay. Bring your family here not only to enjoy Yellowstone but to experience what it’s like to be cared for by a loving host!

    About 20-30 minutes outside of Cody. Very peaceful and beautiful views. It was a great spot to be able to drive to Yellowstone through the East entrance. Also great spot for activities in Cody but still giving you a place in the mountains and not in the city!

    We had a fantastic time. Sandy and Steve are fabulous. Our cabin was beautifully decorated and very clean. It had many extras that most cabins don’t have, such as a cooler, BBQ grill, air conditioning. Kitchen was well equipped and had many staples. The views are stunning. Close to town and close to Yellowstone. Peaceful and quiet.

    Perfection! Beautifully decorated cabin with comfortable furnishings. This cabin had so many extras that other rentals typically do not including plenty of towels, extra pillows, etc.We were comfortable and relaxed from the minute we walked in the door. The views out the windows are gorgeous. If this cabin is available - don’t hesitate to book it. We will be recommending it to our family and friends. Even though the owners home was close by; it felt totally private. We have found our “cabin” in this area! Thanks again!

    Sandy and Steve was the best! So friendly and helpful. The Bear Den was so cute and very very clean. Comfortable bed, nice bathroom, plenty of parking, very well stocked kitchen with exrtas. The views were amazing, and wildlife right next door in the field every morning. Close to cody and Yellowstone. Did I mention the views...WOW!! There was a book with places to eat and things to do ( very heplful). I would rate this a 20 on a scale from 1-10!! Highly recommend!! I wish we could have stayed longer. And we will definitely book again.
