Montana's Yellowstone Bear Den- Small/Simple Efficiency Apartment

Montana’s Yellowstone Bear Den is a small efficiency apartment with aspen walls, rustic/outdoor decor, a queen sized bed, full sized refrigerator, microwave, DIRECTV and WIFI. It is a perfect base camp for an individual or couple looking to spend a majority of their time exploring the majesty of Yellowstone National Park. The Bear Den is not big, but it is clean, comfortable and conveniently located just 4 blocks from the Roosevelt Arch, the original entrance to Yellowstone National Park. The grocery store, restaurants and shops are all less than a mile and within east walking distance.

The Bear Den efficiency is comparable in size to a small hotel room, at a fraction of the price, but has the look, feel and furnishings of a cozy cabin. It is located beside our larger one bedroom vacation rental apartment, Montana's Yellowstone Hideaway (vrbo #353846). Both apartments are located below our home, but are completely isolated with separate entrances.

The Bear Den features a comfortable queen sized bed, stocked kitchenette, and bathroom with a stand up shower. The kitchenette includes a full size refrigerator, microwave, hotplate, pots and pans, plates, bowls, utensils, glasses, blender, crock pot, and coffee maker. All bedroom and bathroom linens are provided. A propane grill is also available.

If you have any questions about the Bear Den or your visit to Yellowstone please don’t hesitate to ask! I have lived and worked in Yellowstone for over 25 years and look forward to helping you experience the magic of Yellowstone that turned my 1995 vacation into a career and home for myself and two amazing daughters!!

Perfect location!
This is a great location for quick access to Yellowstone! It took us less than 10 minutes to get into the park each morning. The Den is cozy....perfect for a couple of nights near the park!

Perfect location for Yellowstone!
This studio apartment is perfect for solo travelers or couples traveling to Yellowstone. It isn't huge, but if you spend your days in the park, all you need is a nice, clean, quiet place to lay your head at night. Why pay the price of the hotel rooms in the area?! Eric has a few extras included in the room like a pair of foldable camp chairs and a cooler-pack available, neither of which I would have thought to bring, but I was happy to make use of once I was there!

Great cozy place
Enjoyed our stay very much! Loved being so close to Yellowstone entrance but still peaceful. Our host was very attentive and friendly. He works in Yellowstone and had good tips. The Bear Den was even furnished with a backpack and walking sticks. Nice price, too!
