Location

We are situated on a 10 acre property that boarders Little Trail Creek. Our backyard is hundreds of thousands of public acres of land to explore and enjoy. It is only a 5 minute drive to Gardiner at the North Entrance to Yellowstone National Park. If you are coming out West to get away and experience nature, this is the place to be! Not in a town in a cookie cutter box.

This is a view of our property circled in yellow. Our backyard is hundreds of acres of public land with a creek, hiking trails and very limited access.
