Located on Hebgen Lake, with plenty of fishing and boating opportunities, as well as a zipline park nearby, there’s no chance of getting bored here. It’s great for activity lovers and will give you the chance to spend long summer days making memories with family or a group of best friends. Location-wise, you’ll also have lots of restaurants, shops, and the Museum of West Yellowstone on your doorstep. You really can’t go wrong. The roads leading up to the property can be rough though, so we’d suggest hiring a heavy-duty vehicle to make life a little easier.
