This adorable little property is just minutes from the north entrance to Yellowstone and overlooks the Yellowstone River. We loved our cottage. We had a view of the mountains from our bed where we watched elk grazing every day (using binoculars). The room was clean, cozy and had everything we needed. Would def stay there again!

I was concerned about this place just looking at the pictures, but it all turned out fine. Location is certainly convenient, but crazy close to the road, which wasn't great. The shared balcony overlooking the river was spectacular. Cabins very clean and functional - but no views from cottage windows. Staff super pleasant. All in all still recommendable.

Friendly staff, clean rooms, onsite parking. However the room itself had very low ceilings and the bed was puny. There was not a lot of room or good ventilation/natural light. The overall area seems to be run down as well as we saw garbage on the porch of neighboring houses.
