Yellowstone Airport (WYS)

Yellowstone Airport, is just 5 minutes from town! Starting this summer United will start flights in addition to Delta, so there are TWO whole airlines. We think WYS may possibly be the smallest, and dare we say cutest, airport you've been to! You also can't beat it for convenience. Delta and United service the airport with multiple daily flights to and from Salt Lake City (SLC) on Delta and Denver (DEN) on United. Rental car facilities (Avis and Budget) and a small café with surprisingly great food and drinks are all on site.

Flight

Bozeman Yellowstone Airport (BZN)

Serviced by all of the major carriers, and just announced, adding Southwest to the mix. With multiple daily direct flights from Denver, Houston, Dallas, Chicago and cities on the east and west coasts, this is the busiest (though still quaint) airport in the area. Though the drive is a little under 2 hours, you'll hardly notice the time as you'll be driving through the picturesque Gallatin Canyon area that follows along the Gallatin River. Along the drive, you're sure to see wildlife and plenty of fly fisherman and white-water rafters trying their luck along the world famous Gallatin River.

Lake View Suites Yellowstone

Right on Hebgen Lake! Recently updated interiors, rooms have full kitchens, TV, wifi and a small continental breakfast. These suites are also one of the closest hotels to the wedding ceremony and reception locations. They're also literally right across the street from the world famous (at least in our opinion) Happy Hour Bar! Happy Hour Bar, a place where everybody knows your name (mainly because Jared's sister worked there all last summer). Sure to be a stomping ground for wedding week meetups.

Parade Rest Guest Ranch

Parade Rest is close to the wedding and reception locations with views of Hebgen Lake. They are a working dude ranch, complete with horseback riding on location (for a fee). The cabins are rustic, simple but clean. All with private bathrooms, though no televisions. They do not have air conditioning, but the cabins stay comfortable during the hotter afternoons by keeping the screened windows opened. They also have a small cafe that is open for breakfast, lunch and dinner on location.

Hotel

Terra Nova Cabins

This property is literally at the bottom of the hill to the wedding reception location. They have older cabins as well as brand new cabin units. They are modestly equipped, and don't have air conditioning, though with open screened windows you should be able to stay comfortable for the few hours in the afternoon when it gets hot.
