Join us in one of America's great places! Bear Lair Lodge is located just a few short miles from the north entrance to Yellowstone National Park. Nestled in the middle of the Absoroka (the locals pronouce it "ab-so-RO-ka" or "ab-SOR-ka") National Forest, the lodge offers a comfortable and roomy place to call home during your escape from the noise and distraction of the outside world. Well appointed and fully stocked with all the household amenities, this former miner's lodge can be your instant "Yellowstone Home". Just bring your favorite things to eat and the gear you will need to enjoy not only the surrounding mountains, but nearby Yellowstone National Park, Big Sky and Jackson Hole.

Bear Lair Lodge and Cub's Cache are unique options for lodging. With quiet and solitude going hand in hand with our edge of wilderness location, the lodge has seen many guests and family who spend time in this small gateway to Yellowstone. Over the years, many of our guests have become part of our circle of family and friends. This is your invitation to join that circle and make the lodge and this area your Yellowstone home!

Outdoor activities abound all around the lodge! You'll find the best hiking, fly fishing, white water rafting, horseback riding and guided tours into Yellowstone just minutes out your front door. You may also want to take the time to visit our alpaca ranch, located nearby!

Winter activities include out the door cross-country skiing, watching Yellowstone wolves in their natural habitat of Lamar Valley, and so much more! Want to learn about dog sledding? This is your chance to take a dog sledding tour right outside the lodge's front door! An experienced musher and his/her team will pick you up at the lodge so you can learn about this ancient mode of transportation while traveling through some of the most amazing mountain scenery...right in our own area! What a great way to see the local terrain...and the local neighbors such as deer and moose. Just call us for details on how to arrange a trip.

What's the best part of having so many choices? The feeling that, despite the convenience of having the park, the activities and town nearby, you are still away from it all! Surrounded by aspens, pines, and mountains with just the sounds of a gurgling creek and the natural surroundings off the front porch....you CAN have both!

Guests have a choice of two lodge buildings on the property.

The larger Bear Lair Lodge is a roomy 2,000 square feet, with three bedrooms and 1 1/2 baths. The lodge sleeps nine comfortably and offers amenities such as pillowtop beds, oversized casual furniture that calls you to fall on and relax, travertine fireplace with woodstove, stereo with ipod docking station and wireless internet. A full kitchen has everything you need to crank out a gourmet meal or a frozen pizza. Hammock and gas grill are just off the porch. And, of course, a washer and dryer are located inside for those days you bring the wilderness back ON you!

Our smaller guest quarters, The Cub's Cache, has one bedroom with a futon in the living area (you can comfortably sleep four people) and one bathroom. The Cub's Cache also has a fully equipped kitchen, washer/dryer, woodstove and it's own outdoor amenities such as hammock and gas grill.

The property calls you to spend time outside! Ponder the surroundings while lying in a hammock or sky chair or take in the mountain view while grilling a meal and having a bite to eat at a picnic table or on the front porch!

For the same cost as a cold, impersonal hotel room, why wouldn't you have your own comfortable space in peaceful surroundings? Think of it as your own Yellowstone Retreat.
