"Amazing!!! - The BEST - Amenities are top notch - VERY CLEAN - Serene - Luxurious - Wow! Beautiful - Minutes to Yellowstone" Welcome to Shelterwood! Enhance your Yellowstone experience by treating yourself to luxury, convenience, spectacular views, and privacy. This newly built 2 home retreat sits on 11 acres just 6 miles from Yellowstone National Park's west entrance and West Yellowstone. We offer the best balance of privacy, space, comfort, and proximity to everything the area has to offer. You are close enough to see Yellowstone, even from the hot tub. The property borders national forest and adjacent ranch. You only have to step off the back porch to access the Gallatin National Forest's well-established trail system. A 1,300 foot gated driveway approach provides privacy as well as a quiet evening stroll. Creek runs through the property. It is easy to park trailers or an RV at a designated site along the driveway. Your group will have room to comfortably space out between 2 fully furnished homes and parking for Grandma's RV! Then comfortably dine and entertain together in the ample gathering space of the Lodge's open floor plan. The newly constructed Lodge and spacious Guest House are designed for comfort and convenience.

Having a background in outdoor careers in Montana, we relied on our years of experience working and recreating in the woods when we designed and built Shelterwood. Construction was completed in 2021. Built for the Yellowstone environment, homes are well insulated with central heat and ceiling fans. In the summer we prefer to open the screened windows at night to enjoy the cool mountain air. Tucked up in the trees on a north facing slope and shaded wrap-around porch, central AC is not needed. We are happy to answer questions about the area and the homes. In each home we provide guides, maps, backpacks, coolers, and baby gear for your use during your stay. Also includes laundry detergent, dish detergent, hand soap, toiletries, hair dryers, bear spray, campfire and stove firewood. Summer highlights: touring Yellowstone Park, fly fishing on Blue Ribbon rivers and streams, visiting the lake, hiking and mountain biking access from the property, guided horseback rides, see the rodeo, ride the Yellowstone Aerial Adventures Zipline, catch a movie on the Yellowstone Giant Screen, visit the Grizzly Wolf Discovery Center, dining and shopping in West Yellowstone. Winter highlights: groomed snowmobile trail access from the property, cross country skiing and snow shoeing access from the property or in town at the Rendezvous trail system, dog sledding, ice fishing, winter tours into Yellowstone by snow coach or snowmobile, downhill skiing and snowboarding at Big Sky ski resort less than an hour drive. Driveway and road snow plowing provided. Escape with your family for a getaway or stay longer and finish that novel you started. Peace and quiet and outstanding natural beauty are waiting for you at Shelterwood Lodge and Guest House. Property owners/managers are available locally when needed.
