Boats can’t be kept at the dock overnight, so please pull your boat out of the water after each use. There is also a private park in the neighborhood for the little ones to enjoy. Horseback riding is only 1 mile from the cabin. Most importantly, the cabin is only a short clear 34 mile drive to the West Entrance of Yellowstone National Park, a famous destination for most visitors.
