Meet Your Guides

Hi, we’re Jon & Kelly! 👋

Our first trip to Yellowstone was in the summer of 2015, and we instantly fell in love.

After returning to explore in every season, we made it official in 2023 with our cabins in Gardiner, MT, just one mile from Yellowstone’s North Entrance.

Through our Yellowstone Travel Guide, Yellowstone Lodging, and Yellowstone Blog, we're on a mission to make Yellowstone simpler and more magical for everyone who visits.
