Cozy Guest House on the Road to Yellowstone

The Wapiti Bear Den is the perfect place to get away from it all. Situated on 4 private acres, we're surrounded by the soaring Absaroka mountains and the quiet of nature. The Bear Den is located in beautiful Wapiti, Wyoming, just 30 minutes from the East Entrance of Yellowstone National Park and 20 minutes from Cody, Wyoming. This spacious one bedroom guest house was newly remodeled in 2018 with rustic western decor and includes air conditioning, a full bath, a fully equipped kitchen and a large living room with a queen size sleeper sofa.

After a day of exploring, you can kick back on your own patio and enjoy the mountain views and wide open spaces. If cooking is your passion, prepare dinners on the outdoor grill or in the Bear Den's full kitchen. Wireless internet, DirecTV, a DVD player/DVD library and a collection of books, are also provided during your stay. During hot summer days, turn up the AC to keep cool and comfortable. The Wapiti Bear Den has all the comforts of home plus Yellowstone country right out your front door.

Our location between Cody, Wyoming and Yellowstone National Park makes the Bear Den the ideal home base to explore the area. The road west to Yellowstone's East Entrance travels through a wide canyon carved by the pristine North Fork of the Shoshone River, where wildlife and rugged beauty abound. President Theodore Roosevelt called this scenic byway 30 of the most beautiful miles in America.

The gateway town of Cody, Wyoming, lies 20 miles to the east of the Bear Den. Cody, known as "The Rodeo Capital of the World", offers a nightly rodeo in the summer months, along with shopping, dining, and the must-see Buffalo Bill Center of the West, a complex of five museums featuring art and artifacts of the American West.

For the horse lover, the McCullough Peaks Herd Management Area, home to over 100 wild horses, is just a short drive from the Bear Den. Located 20 miles east of Cody, Wyoming, McCullough Peaks boasts bands of flashy pintos, colorful sorrels and speckled sabinos, along with pronghorn, sage grouse, prairie dogs, and other native wildlife.

The Bear Den is also a short drive from the Beartooth Highway – a National Scenic Byways All-American Road. This 68 mile byway winds its way through southwest Montana and northwest Wyoming and leads into Yellowstone National Park at its Northeast Entrance. It's a must see!

If fly fishing is your passion, the Bear Den is located less than a five minute drive to fishing access on the renowned Shoshone River. The North Fork of the Shoshone hosts rainbow trout, mountain whitefish, brook trout, Yellowstone cutthroat, brown trout, rainbow-cutthroat hybrids and some lake trout on the lower stretches of the river.

Whether you spend your time exploring Yellowstone or visiting the Cody/Wapiti area, the outdoor recreation possibilities of northwest Wyoming are endless. Hiking, fishing, horseback-riding, photography, bird watching, wildlife watching, and biking are just a few of the many recreational pursuits that you can enjoy during your stay. With their thorough knowledge of the area, Sandy and Steve can answer any questions you might have to help make your stay the best it can be.

Absolutely perfect in every way. Clean and cozy! Felt very " homey ", No hassle check in and out. Instructions for anything you could think of... and a phone call or text away from an answer if needed. Would definitely stay here again and already recommended to a friend that is planning a trip to Yellowstone next year!

Our stay at the bear den
The bear den cabin rental is conveniently located between Yellowstone and Cody WY. It was very clean, organized and ready for us when we arrived with information about Yellowstone and the surrounding area. We had a wonderful time while we were in Wyoming and we would highly recommend this rental property for anyone looking to enjoy the beauty of Yellowstone.

Beautiful, Quiet Spot on the Road to Yellowstone
We really enjoyed our stay at this beautiful, quiet home outside of Cody. After busy days of activities, it was wonderful to return to this cosy haven. The hosts were very accommodating and responsive and they offered helpful suggestions for services in the area. The home was well stocked with everything we needed. We especially enjoyed pancake mix and real maple syrup that the hosts left us for breakfast.

Awesome place!
My wife and I stayed at the Bear Den as a hub for our Yellowstone and Grand Teton adventures. Coming in through the East inside of the park was SO much better than dealing with the busier West side. Saw a ton of wildlife! The Bear Den was very clean and decorated very well. Small AC worked great during the warm days. Hosts provided all kinds of thoughtful touches throughout cabin. We will definitely return to the Bear Den when we venture this way again! Amazing spot.

A beautiful cabin very close to Yellowstone
I feel like the photos on the listing don’t do this cabin justice. The cabin sits on a hill with beautiful views no mater where you look! The mountain ranges that surround the cabin are gorgeous. This property sits about 30 minutes outside of the east entrance to Yellowstone and also 20 minutes outside of Cody, Wy if you need supplies or other stores. The property was clean and has a well supplied kitchen if you wanted to cook there. Overall, this was a lovely stay!

This was truly the best week, from the moment we walked through the doors. Sandy and Steve put their hearts into this house, and allowing others to enjoy it. We had the best time exploring the town and Yellowstone and the Tetons every day we were there.. my 4 year old daughter loved watching all the bunnies in the yard!

Perfect for Yellowstone!
We stayed here for my husband’s 40th birthday trip to Yellowstone. We went very late in the season (Oct 21-26). Though the weather did not cooperate some of the time (East entrance was closed most of the trip), the house is in the perfect location to get to the park or into Cody. “The Bear Den” is the cutest, and a very well appointed guest house. It has everything you could need and is very cozy. My husband and I absolutely loved it. We wished we could’ve stayed longer. Thanks for an awesome stay!
