BRIEF DESCRIPTION: Elk Crossing is a great base camp for exploring the Yellowstone area. It’s just 8 miles to the park entrance, is surrounded by national forest trails for hiking, mountain biking, and snowmobiling, and it’s a short drive to a quiet cove on Hebgen Lake. With 1700 square feet of living space and an open floor plan to the kitchen, dining area and great room, it’s a very comfortable home for your group. There’s an attached two car garage for guest use.
BEDROOMS/BATHROOMS: The home has three bedrooms and two baths. The master has a king size bed, views to the mountains, your own door to the deck, and a fabulous master bath with a walk in rainforest shower and a large jetted soaking tub. At the other end of the house are two additional bedrooms, one with a queen and the other with two twin beds. They share a full bath with tub and shower.
KITCHEN/DINING: This is a great kitchen for a group as it opens to the bar, the dining area, and the living room. It’s equipped with all everything you need to cook and entertain, including a smooth top electric range, tons of serving pieces and picnic ware, and small appliance extras like a crock pot, electric mixer and blender. The dining table seats six comfortably and the bar accommodates another four. There’s also a dining table and a barbecue for enjoying outdoor meals on the back deck.
LIVING ROOM: The great room has a gas fireplace with a rock hearth, a flat screen HD TV with satellite service, a beautiful knotty pine cathedral ceiling and comfy seating. Huge picture windows let in lots of natural light and a door just past the dining table leads to the back deck!
SETTING: Elk Crossing is set in the meadow of a quiet, woodsy vacation home neighborhood about 8 miles west of West Yellowstone, which is the west entrance to Yellowstone National Park. It sits on one half acre and enjoys incredible views of Lionhead Mountain and other peaks along the Continental Divide. You’re likely to see elk, moose, and maybe even a bear in this beautiful wild area!
OUTDOOR AMENITIES: The large back deck is perfect for morning coffee and for dinner with a sunset view of the mountains. Two chaise lounges are there for when you want to just do nothing. For snowmobilers, there’s a two car garage for parking your rigs.
NEARBY ACTIVITIES: In winter you can snowmobile right from the house and get onto hundreds of miles of groomed snowmobile trails. If you prefer Nordic skiing, West Yellowstone’s Rendezvous Trails are a short drive away, and you can explore Yellowstone Park by snow coach. In summer there’s hiking and mountain biking right out the door, fishing on blue ribbon streams, boating on Hebgen Lake, and of course – day trips into Yellowstone Park. There’s so much to do!
AIRPORT: You are 8 miles from the town of West Yellowstone, 90 miles from Bozeman’s Gallatin Field Airport and 110 miles from Idaho Falls, Idaho.
This property met or exceeded our expectations. The main room had comfortable furniture and a large dining table. There was also a large screen TV for those who like watching television. The internet access worked well, too. The kitchen was large and well appointed with more than enough dishes, glasses, and cookware. The appliances all worked. The washer and dryer along with laundry detergent was appreciated. The bedrooms had comfortable beds and pillows and extra blankets and pillows were stored in the closet. It was easy to access the house through a key pad. The house and garage were both clean and tidy. There was also a back porch with a table and chairs which we enjoyed. This property was in a quiet neighborhood and was perfect for our vacation. I would definitely book this property again if I was staying in the area.
Nice location, about 12 minutes from the west entrance to Yellowstone. We loved the proximity but also that it’s outside of the hustle & bustle of the West Yellowstone town. I was very impressed at how well stocked the house was. I appreciated all the kitchen supplies and they even had a cooler and backpacks that came in handy for our daily trips into the park. They also had bug spray and sunscreen, although we had our own. They had bear spray too. The set-up was perfect for our family of 5. The only improvement I could suggest is different window treatments on the upper windows in the living area. Our visit was in the summer and the sun shining in was blinding to anyone sitting on the couch for a few hours each evening. We also visited the West Yellowstone Rodeo during our stay, about a mile away from the house. Our kids loved it, very authentic!
House was very convenient to town and west gate to Yellowstone park. House was clean and very well stocked with everything you need. Really enjoyed our stay!
We have stayed here multiple times and love it every time. Clean, comfortable, great location, well stocked... everything you could ask for! Can't wait to be back!
Was over all a great place. Clean, comfortable. ❤️❤️
Snowmobiling, beautiful area
We have rented many cabins and this is our favorite! It is so cozy! The owner has been very accommodating and kind. We are so appreciative for all of the conveniences in the house for us. Everything we have needed and more! It is just a short trip in to West Yellowstone and Yellowstone National Park. We are in love with this area. Such a beautiful setting for a cabin. It has been a beautiful stay!
We are in W Yellowstone for the annual XCountry Ski Festival. Snow was great this year. The house is comfortable and well located. Amenities are nice. Only complain - zero Kleenex. Only issue we had, and it was my lack of imagination - is in the master shower you need to pull the handle out to start the water. Lesson learned for me. Great house and we will likely seek to stay here next year.
Nice, comfortable stay
The property was just as described and in a very pretty neighborhood, but also close to town. It was a great little getaway!
This is an exceptionally well stocked lodging option in a small quiet subdivision a few miles outside of west Yellowstone. The neighborhood was quiet and the kitchen had everything needed for some home cooked meals after exploring the park.
The photos of this home do not do it justice. It was a great place to stay for our family members as we explored Yellowstone. The kitchen was stocked with many ingredients and utensils for cooking. There is a nice cozy fireplace for cold evenings. The jacuzzi tub was perfect for soreness after a day of horseback riding. The biggest challenge was that we didn’t get our checkin information until 48 hours before checkin. Even though I had written the property manager to verify our stay, it took her a few days for to respond. We also had problems locking the front door as we were leaving for the day. We found that if we pulled the door shut and held it tight while putting the code in it would lock. We had a wonderful stay here and would highly recommend it to others.
We had a wonderful (but too brief!) time staying at this beautiful home. Everything was very clean, felt safe and our 5-year-old was thrilled to find “the closet with the toys.” The owners were very quick to call me back when I had a question and offered to help us in any other way they could. And the view off the back porch made our morning before driving back into the park. Would highly recommend!
We enjoyed our stay very much! The house was beautiful and very clean. Also we were provided with all the dishes and towels and bedding that we needed. It’s very close to the park entrance and the town was very cute.
Great place in the best location. Owner called to make sure we were all good.
We have stayed at this home for the past four trips to West Yellowstone. It is such a great place. Very comfortable, clean and well stocked. Can’t wait to be back next year!
