The town of West Yellowstone offers fun for the whole family including Yellowstone Historic Center, antique shops, the Grizzly Discovery Center, the IMAX Theater featuring daily showings. For your Wild West experience, the Yellowstone Rodeo (less than a mile from the cabin) is open for Rodeo night almost daily during the summer months. Also available during the summer are the Museum of the Yellowstone and the famous Playmill Theatre offering fun-filled recreation for kids as well as adults.
If winter is your season, the area offers some of the best snowmobiling in the West! The roads to the cabin are plowed during the winter months, offering easy access for the snowmobile enthusiast. The Lion Head Trail is located just down the driveway. Other winter activities include cross country skiing, snowshoeing, dog sledding and ice fishing, all of which are available close by.
