About Michael P Keator
Greetings! I moved from Upstate New York in 1980 to Jackson Hole Wyoming. For the next ten years I guided river trips and wilderness pack trips with horses and mules, guided in wilderness hunting camps and backcountry ski trips, and taught Telemark and cross country skiing. In 1987 I worked for the US Forest Service as a backcountry ranger in the Teton Wilderness. In the summer of 1990 I began my career in Yellowstone National Park as a US Park Ranger. I worked all over the park until June of 2012 when I retired to West Yellowstone, Montana. Currently I live in a log house that I built in Lazy Acres in 2005. I enjoy mountain biking, hiking, fly fishing, rafting and skiing along with a sincere desire to share the surrounding area with visitors that don't have the opportunity to live here.
Michael P Keator purchased this house in 2014
Why Michael P Keator chose West Yellowstone
This property is unique because I designed it to meet the needs of friends and family vacationing in Yellowstone National Park and the surrounding area. The area will give you all the excitement you can handle, and I wanted a place that you can return to after a long day and totally relax in the comfort and style of Montana.
What makes this house unique
The Fox Den Lodge is not only unique because of the mountain views but the close proximity to Yellowstone National Park and the country setting it sits in. The name comes from the fact that during the summer of 2013 we enjoyed the adventures and follies of a fox and her 5 kits that built their den under the shed next door. We occasionally have moose and dear walk through Lazy Acres during the summer.

Reviews
Exceptional!
5/5 -
(66 traveler reviews)
The cabin and property were absolutely beautiful! The cabin was immaculate.
We do not have any suggestions to make the experience better. Everything was as perfect as it could be. The cabin was clean/immaculate, all appliances were top of the line, beds were comfortable, the cabin was beautifully decorated, the views, the wildlife...just spectacular! We were fortunate and saw the momma fox that frequents the area surrounding the cabin. Michael and Mary are both one of a kind - very knowledgeable, friendly, warm people. We cannot wait to go back again and will most definitely rent this same cabin. We highly recommend staying at the Fox Den Lodge during your stay in West Yellowstone. ***** ~Beth and Mark Libertine
cabin comfort to the max!
The Fox Den is extremely comfortable & gives you a sense of openness. The sauna was pure pleasure after a day of fly fishing on the Madison. We even saw the red tail fox romping in the snow!!
Absolutely Wonderful
The house was great. Had all the comforts of home. We were able to relax in the evening and enjoy the quiet. Also saw the adult fox's scamper across the yard one evening. Michael was very helpful with ideas and suggestions. Thank you very much!

Fox Den Property
The property was lovely.spacious and funished to a high standard. Everything one could possibly need was provided. The house was comfortable, and the owner, Michael, was very helpful. Michael helped with planning our stay. What time to go to places and the best routes to access Yellowstoane. Michael also suggested a trip to Quake Lake, this trip was well worth it. Certainly a day to get away from the crowds in Yellowstone. A great place to stay, a property we would thoroughly recommend to anyone. Virginia and John August 2017
Home and property were very well maintained.
We had a truly wonderful experience. The owner, Michael, was so helpful and the house was convenient to everything. Will definitely recommend to family and friends!!!
