Yellowstone is the single most beautiful place I have ever been on this planet. I've been to Yosemite, I've been to Hawaii, I've been over most of the country. Nothing even comes close to Yellowstone.
If I might be so bold as to suggest somewhere to stay while you're in the Yellowstone area: https://www.pineedgecabins.com/en-us
My parents and grandparents would take me and my brother up there every couple years when we were young. Those cabins are in a town called Silvergate, which is right outside the park. You can wake up to find moose grazing only a couple feet from your cabins. Every building in that town is made of log cabin style construction, too. Looks awesome. (and the 1 restaurant in town was really quite good, actually.) It's a quick trip into the main portion of the park, and there's lots of amazing stuff to see. My dad, me, and a couple of my grandparents would always head to the nearby Soda Butte creek to fish for trout, and it was awesome to eat pan-fried trout that had been in the river not an hour before. From Silvergate you can also head north across the Beartooth Pass into the rest of Montana, which is a breathtakingly beautiful drive (reporter Charles Kuralt called it "the most beautiful drive in America"). Once in Montana, you could head up to Glacier park too, which is up in northern Montana.
On your way up there, you might consider stopping at the Buffalo Bill Museum in Cody, Wyoming. https://centerofthewest.org/explore/buffalo-bill/ We stopped there once on our way up to Yellowstone, and even as a 6 year old I was pretty fascinated.
