It was not what we expected. It was connected to a Conoco gas station. But when we went into the room we were pleasantly surprised. The only issue we had was the TV would not turn on. We did not care because we were not in the room enough for TV.

Get thru the hub of traffic into the night. This cabin was perfect. It was hysterical in the am as it reminded me of all the fairy tale stories of Dad getting the yard mowed when sun up. Grasslands behind cabin

Everything about this place was good, except the room was filled with earwigs. They were every where, don’t leave clothes on the floor to plan on putting back on. There was a lot of spiders too, the cleaning ladies were nice, but I had to ask them to sweep my room, and change the sheets. I had kids there so they had crumbs everywhere as there was no where to sit other than the beds. Otherwise it was great, good area.

Avoid this hotel. Nothing in the room worked. It was a confusing stay from the beginning — my room changed before I got here. The television didn’t function. I was offered a partial refund and it never happened. This is a dishonest hotelier. Avoid!!!

Charming tiny cabin motel that had everything we needed for a cozy stay. The space was clean, well-equipped, and very comfortable. After-hours check-in was seamless with a phone number provided to get the room code. The attached gift shop, coffee shop, and breakfast stop were a fantastic bonus—super convenient and added to the charm. Would definitely stay again for a simple, no-stress getaway.

Was very nice for the money. The views were amazing. One thing i didn't like was having the canopy of the gas station blocking some of the views.

The bed was very comfortable. The breakfast off site was free and very good, bacon, eggs, potatoes. The property is advertised as a cabin, it is not a cabin, it is a classic drive up motel in the parking lot of a gas station. The room was dark, a light in the coffee station area would help. And, if you want the ceiling fan on, you had to have the light on. It was an adequate stay for the price, but don’t expect a stand alone cabin as advertised.

Don’t be scared of other reviews!

Amazing place! Yes it’s in a gas station parking lot - but it’s not your average, sketchy station. It is a nice clean station. There is also a coffee/gift shop on the other side of the station, as well as another small shop. Both are lovely and have souvenirs to purchase (coffee/chocolates/huckleberry jams/Rowe Casa products/taffy candy/stickers) Yes the highway is right in front of the lodge - the road noise can be loud, but if you are from the south and are accustomed to needing noise to sleep, turn on the AC unit and youll go right to sleep. Yes you have to drive 8 miles north to Ninepipes for breakfast - but the drive is gorgeous and the food is worth the trip. The staff are friendly and helpful. The cabin has great views of the mountains. And the space is perfect and cozy for a couple. We would 10/10 stay at this lodge again.

Tips for staying at Big Medicine Cabins

This room apparently has been recently renovated. It was clean. What was needed, because the weather turned unexpectedly cold, was an extra blanket. We had to call another office down the road to get a code to get in the room. The phone rang for 10 minutes until they answered. So be sure to call there before 10pm to get the code! The receptionist might be happier;!

Nice, affordable stay.

The room worked perfectly for our needs. Was newer and nicer than expected. Heater/ air conditioner is a bit loud, but works ok. Beds are comfortable.
