Option #2: Call the West Yellowstone Chamber of Commerce at 406-646-7701. The staff at the Chamber of Commerce is compiling a list of local residents that are interested in opening their homes to Rendezvous Race participants. When you call the Chamber, the staff will do its best to put you in touch with a local resident that is offering space that will accommodate your needs. From that point on, it’s up to you and the property owner to work out the details of your stay. If there is nothing available that fits your needs at the time you call, your name and contact information will be added to a waiting list and you will be contacted if something becomes available.
