Best of all, our western Montana Resort will pamper you on your return with good food, comfortable cabins, and friendly service. Trail Rider Magazine, in an article by Kent and Charlene Krone in the March / April 2005 issue, recommends Elk Lake Resort for Horseback Riders.

"Have you ever dreamed of riding your horse in Montana and gazing at majestic vistas? But, you wondered where would you go? Where would you stay with your horse? What about riding trails? And, would a little pampering feel wonderful? Just enough to feel like a real vacation! You can do it all -- and do it safely, comfortably, and relatively inexpensively.

"Here, we'll provide useful information on several beds, breakfasts, and corrals - - also known as 'bed & barns' -- luxurious getaways where you can stay with your horse and receive a home-cooked breakfast. . .

"Elk Lake Resort, quite remote, is ideal for those wanting to get away from it all. It's located 40 miles west of West Yellowstone. . .A side trip here would be to drive to Red Rock Lake and see the home of the endangered trumpeter swans. . .There are seven cabins, and horse corrals are free. This beautiful, wild country is inhabited by deer, elk, wolves, and grizzlies."
