| Madison River Cabins |
If majestic mountains;
clear blue sky; sparkling , pure rocky mountain rivers; and (oh yes) large, beautiful trout excite you, then the
West Fork Cabins on the Madison River are for you. Located in the heart of Yellowstone country, in the beautiful
Beaverhead National Forest, only 30 minutes from Yellowstone National Park, the West Fork Cabins are in an
unparalleled location that offers you easy access to some of the finest fly fishing and outdoor recreation
opportunities in the world. Fly fishing opportunities abound in and around the cabins. Within 30 minutes of your
cabin you can fish 13 of Montana's finest streams and 13 lakes. The Yellowstone, Gallatin, Henry's Fork, Ruby,
Gibbon, and Firehole are all within an hour's drive. Your only limitations are your time and imagination.
Hunting, hiking, horseback riding, sight seeing, bird watching, camping, swimming, boating, canoeing, cycling -
need we go on?! If you like to do it and it is an outdoor activity, chances are you'll find it in abundance at
or very near the West Fork Cabins. We are located in the southwest corner of Montana exactly halfway between
Ennis and West Yellowstone, Montana (35 miles from each) on Highway 287 North. |
| Affordable Excellence |
If you want nice lodging, in a
prime location, at a price that will leave you smiling, West Fork Cabins will accommodate your wishes. We have 10
clean, comfortable cabins, all fully self-contained, with full kitchens. (All cooking and eating utensils are
provided). The beautiful knotty pine paneling and riverside location will allow you to experience the outdoors
in beauty and comfort. All of the cabins have been recently renovated to make your stay even better. |
| Facilities |
Aside from our cabins, we have 24
full-service, pull-through RV sites. We also have a campground and men's and women's showerhouses and restrooms.
We have a small store and coin-operated laundry room. Our tackle shop is well stocked with flyfishing accessories
and clothing, and we sell Montana fishing licenses. We also have a lounge with satellite TV. Movies and sporting
events, along with regular TV programming, will be available each day. |
| Bon Appetit |
| If you love to cook for yourself, you may do so in our cabins. Each has a full kitchen with all the cooking
and eating utensils provided. If cooking isn't exactly your cup of tea, you can eat at the famous Grizzly Bar and
Grill, located only one mile from the cabins. Big burgers, succulent steaks, chicken, seafood, soup and salads
have earned the Grizzly a wide and well-deserved reputation as a great place to eat. We also make (in our store
each morning) the biggest and best cinnamon rolls you have ever eaten. |
| Transportation |
| You can fly into West Yellowstone or Bozeman, Montana, or Idaho Falls, Idaho - the three closest commercial

can be made for rental cars or other ground transportation at all three locations. |
