My husband and I enjoy historic hotels and hiking. Recently, we combined these two passions on a trip to Yellowstone National Park. To check off a bucket list item, we stayed at the Lake Yellowstone Hotel. Our visit was perfect.
Built in 1889, Lake Yellowstone Hotel is the oldest hotel in Yellowstone and is the longest standing lodging in a national park.
The hotel has been updated many times, from its humble beginnings when guests arrived by stagecoach or steamship, to the majestic renovations completed in 2014.
DINING AND TREATS
We enjoyed dinner and a breakfast buffet in the formal dining room.
Dessert after dinner was huckleberry ice cream! Yummmmm!
My favorite relaxing area was the sunroom with the stunning view of Lake Yellowstone.
From my smile, you can tell I love sitting in the sunroom…reading, chatting and relaxing.
TREKKING YELLOWSTONE NATIONAL PARK
Being hikers, we definitely wanted to hit the trails during our visit.
BOOK RECOMMENDATIONS
Of course for me, vacations always involve reading….even on my tiny iPhone, if necessary. Here are some suggestions:
For romcom readers: Brynn and Sebastian Hate Each Other by Bethany Turner
With characters who won over my heart, this book is a feel-good, laugh-out-loud romcom jewel. The humor, the friendships and the heartwarming conclusion (plus the SCONES) all come together for a perfect story! Check out her website: https://www.seebethanywrite.com
For cozy mystery readers: Weeding Out Lies by Jackie Layton
I liked the characters (especially ex-Marine Jake), the warm community of the small Texas town setting and the colorful blossoms mentioned throughout the book. Author Jackie Layton’s mystery stories always include intriguing who-done-it plots to solve. Check out her website: https://www.jackielaytoncozyauthor.com
And for inspirational romance readers: Fair Haven by Laura Conner Kestner
Though I’ve just started this book, I’m already captivated by the characters’ lives, the intrigue and curious as to how everything to work out for them. A hidden identity, life on a ranch and a sweet child all add to the enjoyment. I’ve loved other books by award-winning author Laura Conner Kestner, so I highly recommend this recent release!
