MOONRISE @ YELLOWSTONE
Moonrise @ Yellowstone is located in the northwest corner of the town of West Yellowstone, the primary gateway to Yellowstone National Park and one of the highest performing tourism markets in the Rockies. The 21.8 acre site sits within city limits and just minutes from restaurants, shops, trail networks, park access points, and major seasonal employment hubs. National Forest land borders the property on two sides, creating a rare sense of privacy and lifestyle appeal in a high traffic destination. Millions of annual visitors pass through West Yellowstone each year, reinforcing consistent demand drivers for thoughtful development. Commercial and private flights service Yellowstone Airport, further strengthening year round accessibility for both visitors and residents.

Demand for Long-Term Housing
Despite rapid job growth, most employees must live 30–120 miles away in surrounding communities, as West Yellowstone lacks sufficient long-term housing. The map shows the real distances involved.
STR Saturation Overtakes Inventory
600–700 active Short Term Rental (STR) listings with 60–70 percent occupancy.
