The house had everything we needed for our Yellowstone stay. It was a great home base for us. We did not want to spend time eating out, so the full kitchen was greatly appreciated. The back yard is a wonderful place to view the sunset.

Perfect

Elk Haven was a great place for 2 older couples to stay on a long weekend visit to Yellowstone. It has every amenity and then some—and as we found when we set out on three mornings, it really IS an elk haven. Although we didn’t bring grandkids, it looked quite welcoming for families, too.
