Elk Lake Resort's OwnersMeet Elk Lake Resort's Owners - Learn The History of Our Western Montana Mountain Resort - Find Your Way to Our Montana Lodge - The Perfect Place for Your Next Family Vacation Craig and Lerrina Collins took over the operation of Elk Lake Resort in May of 2004. Originally from Oregon, Craig and Lerrina were drawn to this western Montana mountain resort by the unsurpassed beauty and 'retreat-like' seclusion of the Centennial Valley and the thought of having the 45,000 acre Red Rock Lakes National Wildlife Refuge for their nearest neighbor.
Having the Centennial Valley out their back door, Red Rock Lakes National Wildlife Refuge just up the road, and the Continental Divide between Idaho and Montana for their backdrop was more than they could resist!
Drawing on their experience as the former owners of a small motel in another unique and beautiful valley, Craig's experience and background in construction and maintenance, Lerrina's skills and training in business management and bookkeeping, and their common love of the great outdoors, the Collins felt a move to this western Montana Lodge fit the bill perfectly. They often hear the question, "How did you find Elk Lake Resort?" Their answer is usually greeted with grins and chuckles. Read More!

Getting To Elk Lake Resort
From West Yellowstone, follow US 20 for about 14 miles west to just before milepost 398. Turn right onto Red Rock Road (signs mark the turnoff to Lakeview, Red Rock RV Park, and Elk Lake Resort). Follow Red Rock Road about 5 miles to a "T". Take a left (sign identifies this as the direction to Elk Lake Resort). Follow the gravel road up over Red Rock Pass and into the Centennial Valley - you will travel about 11 miles from the "T".
