If you're looking for a real experience, Horn & Cantle provides an authentic off-the-beaten-path atmosphere. Located on Lone Mountain Ranch. We would categorize this as mountain high end in terms of cost, but it is pretty one-of-a-kind here in Big Sky.

A visit to Yellowstone is always a must. We are only 50 minutes away from the West Yellowstone Entrance. We highly recommend guests: -Have a plan of 1 or 2 items they must see. -Leave early. (Entrance lines are long!) -Bring your own snacks and water. -Bring a camera. -Bring an extra jacket. - Be Patient! Yellowstone is one of the most highly sought after National Parks. Waiting in line and in traffic, is unfortunately inevitable. Tread lightly in the park. Park your garbage in and pack it back out. Please do not approach any wildlife. Pull off to the side of the road if you want to take pictures!
