This place we call home is an unparalleled year-round vacation destination, and that’s not something we ever take for granted. Yellowstone National Park is a natural wonder of epic proportions and the region beyond the park is every bit as lovely, with smaller crowds and attractions just as big. And we’re dedicated to sharing our part of paradise and our reverence for wild things and wild places, thriving communities and extraordinary adventures with curious travelers and faithful wanderers.
Yellowstone Country is made up of five south-central and southwest Montana counties (Gallatin, Park, Sweet Grass, Stillwater and Carbon), as well as Yellowstone National Park, and we intend to help you plan your stay by offering travel information and resources about recreation, lodging, dining, arts and cultural treasures, seasonal activities and the communities that make Yellowstone Country a very special place. A place that will stay with you long after you leave.

Just a stone’s throw from Interstate 90 in South Central Montana and a world apart from its hustle and bustle, come cuddle up in one of our nightly retreats. You’ll be on the same property as the Gristmill at the foot of the Grey Cliffs with a view of Montana’s Crazy Mountains. We have a real water-powered gristmill along with some of the best coffee and snacks around. Tour our greenhouse and cheese cave or come for one of our dinners.
