My husband and I enjoyed this place. Very minimal needs place- we are there for the park. Perfect place with a bed, shower, microwave, and fridge. It did get hot at times but otherwise, a wonderful stay. Walkable town and grocery store around the corner. Would stay again.

The location of this place is extremely convenient! Walking distance to the shops and restaurants is minimal, and only a 4-5 minute drive to the entrance to Yellowstone NP. The room was very clean, the beds and pillows were comfortable and we had everything we needed. It’s pretty rustic, which was fine with us, but don’t expect high-end accommodations. I would recommend because of the location and impeccable cleanliness.
