Elephant Head Lodge | 307-587-3980

Elephant Head Lodge is your family's vacation home near Yellowstone Park!  This charming log cabin mountain resort was started in 1910, and is AAA Double Diamond approved.  Built by Buffalo Bill's niece, the lodge and most of our cabins are listed on the National Register of Historic Places.  Located just 11.7 miles east of Yellowstone National Park and 40 miles west of Cody Wyoming in the Shoshone National Forest, our central location is an ideal base for touring Yellowstone National Park, Cody Wyoming and the Shoshone National Forest. And if you're looking for peace and quiet, the Elephant Head Lodge is the perfect mountain retreat to get away from it all. This historic lodge is owned and operated by a 4th generation Wyoming native with a ranch family background, and whose charming guest ranch is a wonderful place to relax, fish, view wildlife, hike, and take beautiful scenic horseback rides.  Nestled in some of the most beautiful landscape in the west, the Elephant Head Lodge offers the ultimate western vacation, with campfires, western music, and story telling. And even though these historic cabins were built in 1910, we've modernized them to include their own bathrooms and some kitchenettes. However, we were very careful to retain their original western charm. The Historic Elephant Head Lodge is the perfect place to enjoy your western vacation.  The charm, the scenic beauty, the experienced owner and staff, the central location, and the great food all make Elephant Head Lodge the best choice.  So come join us at our AAA Double Diamond approved Elephant Head Lodge for the western vacation of a lifetime!  307-587-3980
