Located 7 miles from West Yellowstone, the west entrance to Yellowstone Park, Deer Meadow Vacation Home sits on a grassy meadow ringed by forests and mountains. The Great Room offers a spectacular view of Lionhead Mountain and the surrounding peaks of the Continental Divide. This 1700 sq.ft. 2-story, 3 BR/2 BA vacation rental home, built in 2005, has a deck and patio with seating for 8 and a detached 2-car garage. The surrounding national forest lands provide a quiet setting amidst a small and spacious neighborhood of mostly seasonal homes.
The western style furnishings are beautifully coordinated and engender a tastefully rustic atmosphere. The home sleeps up to 8 people, with 2 queen beds, 2 twin beds, and a queen sleeper sofa in the loft. Features include wireless high speed internet access, forced air heating and A/C, washer and dryer, satellite TV in 2 locations with VCR and DVD players, and a CD player. There are a variety of games, video tapes, DVDs, and CDs for our guests.
A cozy cabin feeling is created by the knotty aspen woodwork on most walls and ceilings, which adds to the mountain charm. The beautiful Great Room has a large wood-burning fireplace with a floor to ceiling rock chimney. The dining table seats 8 people. The kitchen appliances include a dishwasher, electric range/oven, microwave, large refrigerator, crock pot, electric griddle, toaster, coffee maker, and all equipment needed for food preparation and dining, including complimentary olive oil and a full selection of herbs and spices. A gas grill is provided on the deck for barbecues.
The Elk Room (master bedroom) is located downstairs and has a queen size bed. The adjoining master bathroom features a 2-person heated whirlpool bath and a shower. The Pine Room upstairs has a queen size bed, and the Moose Room has two twins. The upstairs bathroom has a tub/shower with a sliding glass enclosure. In the loft you'll find more seating where the kids can watch their favorite TV show while the grown-ups visit downstairs. This home is well supplied - we provide linens, towels, two hair dryers, all paper goods, hand soaps, dish washing soaps, laundry soaps, trash can liners, etc. The comfortability of our guests is important to us!
West Yellowstone has a visitor center offering free presentations by park rangers. It has many restaurants and stores, a cinema, a seasonal live theater, an Imax theater, and The Museum of the Yellowstone. The Grizzly and Wolf Discovery Center is home to numerous wolves and grizzlies in an enclosed natural habitat.
Summer activities:
In the summer there are lots of fun things to do in the area. West Yellowstone's entrance to the Park is the closest to the Old Faithful geyser. You will also have a golden opportunity to view a great assortment of wildlife in their natural habitat. You'll also want to visit Teton National Park south of Yellowstone Park. The Lewis and Clark Caverns with their magnificent limestone caves and the historically preserved old west towns of Virginia and Nevada City are within easy driving range near Ennis, Monana.
West Yellowstone is located in the heart of fly-fishing country. The closest fishing can be found at the Lonesomehurst Campground, approx. 4 miles from the cabin (down Denny Creek Rd off of Highway 20). There is a lake there on the South Fork of the Madison with a public boat launch and dock. Other lake fishing is available on Yellowstone Lake, Hebgen Lake, Quake Lake, as well as Henry's Lake and Island Park Reservoir.
River rafting on the Gallatin River is a great way to cool down on a hot summer day. You can opt for whitewater rafting or calmer stretches where you can better enjoy the scenery. Horseback riding can be enjoyed at the Diamond P Ranch off of Highway 20, just a few miles from the cabin.
Fall activities:
The fall, with its beautiful foliage, is a great time to visit Yellowstone Park. The cooler temperatures make more strenuous activities such as hiking a lot more fun, and there are fewer visitors in the Park making the experience more intimate and peaceful. The late fall is also hunting season and West Yellowstone offers a great point of access for successful elk and deer hunting.
Winter activities:
West Yellowstone and surroundings are famous for their excellent snow conditions, which makes it an ideal place for snowmobiling. This can be enjoyed both inside and outside of the Park. For snowmobiling inside Yellowstone Park a guided tour is required. West Yellowstone is called the "snowmobiling capital of the world," and close by Island Park offers additional access to nearly 1000 miles of groomed trails outside of Yellowstone Park. The snowmobile trail system is less than a half mile away. You can leave the vacation home and arrive at the trail head within minutes and spend a full day on local trails. Snowmobile rentals and tours are available from outfitters in West Yellowstone. Another great way to view Yellowstone Park in winter is to make an excursion in a snow coach. It is more comfortable and relaxed but equally scenic!
The west entrance road to Yellowstone Park and most park roads close to wheeled vehicles in early November each year. They reopen again from mid December through mid March to oversnow vehicles only - snowmobiles and snow coaches. Snowmobiling outside of Yellowstone Park usually gets underway around Thanksgiving.
If you love cross-country skiing, you will find some of the nation's finest cross country ski trails here. Ski rentals are also available in West Yellowstone. Downhill skiing can be enjoyed in Big Sky, Montana, 53 miles north. Or you might like to go on a guided dog sled tour, or go snowshoeing with a guide in the Park!
If you're looking for a rich and authentic Montana experience in quiet and beautiful surroundings, with easy access to Yellowstone and Teton National Parks, you're sure to enjoy your stay at our Deer Meadow Vacation Home!

Map & Owner's Profile
Tastefully Rustic Home with Mountain View 7 Mi. to Yellowstone
Year Purchased: 2005
Why the Owner Chose West Yellowstone
We chose this location for Deer Meadow Vacation Home because we wanted a cabin close to the west entrance of Yellowstone Park, which is an important feature for most renters. It has the advantage of being only 7 miles from West Yellowstone in a quiet neighborhood bordering national forest lands that guarantees a peaceful setting.
The Unique Benefits at this Cabin
Deer Meadow Vacation Home is loved by everyone who stays here, including ourselves. This home has direct access to the snowmobile trails, connecting you to trails leading to West Yellowstone or into Idaho. So it's also a great home for winter vacations. The whirlpool bath in the master bedroom offers great relaxation after snowmobiling or cross-country skiing. Sometimes moose can be seen wondering around the neighborhood. Even for larger parties the home has a lot to offer with a TV downstairs, and another TV upstairs in the loft area. So the kids can watch their favorite TV show while the adults can visit downstairs. We have spent quality time with our relatives with up to 8 people staying at the home and we didn't feel crowded. We hope you will enjoy our cabin as much as we do! Bruce and Magdalena Beall
Owner's Map of West Yellowstone
Bruce and I have been in the vacation rental home business since 2001. We started out with one vacation rental home at that time, and when it turned out that the home did well we decided to purchase another rental cabin. We were fortunate enough to purchase this home when only the foundation was in place. As a result we had input regarding paint colors and counter tops, as well as the lay-out of the bathrooms and our choice of carpet on the floors. In order to enhance the cabin atmosphere, we decided to furnish the home in a rustic but tasteful way, coordinating colors and finding pictures of wildlife that would complement the cabin's decor.

Dear Bruce and Magdalena, What a lovely visit! This location proved to be fabulous for all the sites we wanted to see. The cabin was a pleasure to return to after a full day of sightseeing. Yellowstone and the Grand Tetons are awesome! So much to see and treasure. Truly, my photo album will refresh very treasured memories of our wonderful vacation. I will be anxious to share my experience with so many back home. To see pictures of your cabin the day we arrived and then pictures two days later with the transformation to a snow-covered landscape is amazing! We enjoyed Bear World, the Grizzly & Wolf Discovery Center, IMAX, and several of the West Yellowstone resstaurants. I also enjoyed attending Mass at Our Lady of the Pines. God bless both of you for sharing your lovely home. Best Regards, Linda & Roger Yost

I was surprised to find that the description was perfect and photos actually reflected the home's true look! We arrived late after sunset, and found that there was a small flashlight hanging below the lock box which really helped us get into the house and out of the freezing wind quickly. Once we entered, we found the home very clean and the furnishing were actually coordinated and added to the appeal - not the typical eBay rejects you often find in rental properties. There were laminated information sheets around the house to help understand anything that wasn't completely obvious and some helpful tips. Everything was working and comfortable. Lots of matching dishes, cooking supplies, towels, etc. etc. All seven of us slept comfortably and hope to return. Great place. We had a wonderful time seeing a wintery Yellowstone, riding snowmobiles, sledding, and playing games at night with the kids. We fell in love with the Gusher restaurant in West Yellowstone, and ate there 4 times in the week... :) I highly recommend Yellowstone Vacation Rental Homes and we all would like to go back during the summer to try the warmer activities too.

October 22-25, 2011 We really had a great time here in your home and at Yellowstone. It was our first time and your home was a pleasant surprise for my husband on his 50th birthday to come in and have it so beautifully set up with balloons, hats and funny glasses. Thank you so much for your extra effort you put into that for us. Our grown kids showed up and met us for the most enjoyable family vacation that was long overdue. With love, The Down Family, Seattle, WA

Great place to stay while exploring the area. Very well thought out guest home. All amenities in place and no mosquitoes in October. Easy access to town and Yellowstone. We really had a great trip and enjoyed coming back to your quality home every night. Could not have been a better stay. Thank you for letting us "borrow" your great house.
