The interior of the "cabin" was ratty and run down. The bathroom fan (which goes on when turning on the light) is loud enough to wake the dead. G_d forbid you have to use the bathroom in the middle of the night then everyone will wake up. The wall to wall carpeting feels gritty and dirty on bare feet. The ceiling fan had dust bunnies wrapped around it. I was too grossed out to take photos. There's no nightstand or light on both sides of bed just one down the center of both double beds. I could go on, but for the $$$ it's slightly better than camping. The location to West Yellowstone was excellent though.

All Explorer Cabins in the website photos were shown to have a serene, private and lovely green view from the covered front porch sitting areas. NOT ONE prepared us for the huge dusappointment of ours facinga steet and looking directly at a hotel. We are seniors and payed a premium for the Explorer Cabin so we could sit on the front porch with a glass of wine at dusk and evenings- enjoying a serene view consistent with what was depicted in all Explorer Cabins shown on the website. Glaring lights from the across the street hotel shone into our gable windows and into our bedroom. The sliding door for the bedroom did not work- wouldn't close. TRAVELERS BEWARE!! Photos are totally misleading!! I was in a terrible mood and felt the final 2 days of our vacation were ruined. This is the first time I have ever complained about a vacation rental. I do a great deal of research and this is the first time I have been duped.
