Imagine an unspoiled wilderness, surrounded by incomparable beauty and richness, and filled with an unrivaled variety of wildlife. Welcome to Elk Lake Resort. Situated in the north east corner of the 385,000 acre Centennial Valley, Elk Lake Resort sits in its own private valley, on the shores of Elk Lake. With the majestic Centennial Mountains dominating the skyline to the south, the Red Rock Lakes National Wildlife Refuge covering 45,000 acres to the southwest, the picturesque Gravelly Range to the northwest, and the scenic Madison Range to the north, Elk Lake Resort is situated in some of the most pristine and breathtaking country in the west.

The atmosphere that pervades is wilderness elegance and home-away-from-home comfort. We invite you to make Elk Lake Resort your vacation place in the wilderness — a place where you’ll arrive as a guest and leave as a friend. Whether hunting, fishing, hiking or just relaxing in your cabin you won’t merely feel like you belong — you will know this is your home in the wilds.

Let a canopy of stars serve as your street light, the sound of crickets and owls lull you to sleep, meadowlarks replace your alarm clock, and a variety of country gourmet meals tempt your palate. Allow the wind’s whisper and the water’s gentle caress to soothe away your cares. Relax as the deep stillness of silence massages away the stresses of life. Paddle around a secluded mountain lake or wrestle with a wily fish. Hike peacefully through woods and meadows or stalk the trophy game animal of your dreams. Spend a quiet evening in your own private cabin or join friends old and new around a campfire to share tales of adventure and delight. All this and more await you at Elk Lake Resort where solitude is easy to find.

Only a scenic hour’s drive from Yellowstone Park’s west entrance and the area’s blue ribbon trout streams, Elk Lake Resort is uniquely positioned in a remote location. Operating under a special use permit through the U.S.F.S. on the Beaverhead Deerlodge National Forest, Elk Lake Resort is situated in an area where God’s handiwork is evident in wildlife as well as in wild flowers. It wasn’t so long ago that Indians, trappers, prospectors, and outlaws shared this country. Although now ‘reasonably’ tame and civilized, the flavor of the old west is easily brought back to life with a visit to Elk Lake Resort. While originally homesteaded in 1876, our historic roots go back to the days when Indians set up their own camps in our secluded cove.

Sit outside your private cabin in summer as a rose-gold sunset relinquishes to a rising full moon. Under the majesty of purple mountains, you may hear an unrehearsed orchestra - Sandhill cranes, duck species, wetland dependent neo-tropical migrants, and maybe even a trumpeter swan - cascading onto your eardrums. No gadgets or gimmicks will mar our 100% natural prescription to soothe and satisfy our most world-weary guest.
Because of the Resort’s secluded location, we operate self sufficient. In keeping with the historic ambiance, although available in the main lodge, there are no televisions or telephones in the rooms to interrupt your enjoyment of our unrivaled brand of peace, quiet, and relaxation.
