Nicely decorated rooms. The front desk staff was friendly and alloed us to stay in same room for dates booked on-line and directly. This prevented us from having to move rooms in tje middle of the stay. I would recommend replacing the TV table with a dresser. I prefer to unpack but living out of a suitcase was fine.

I must say, I was a bit hesitant when I pulled up to this place, but it ended up being my favorite stay out of 4 hotels! So cute inside! Not far from West Yellowstone either! We found the Craters of the Moon National Monument and went there, which we never would have discovered had we stayed in Wyoming the entire trip. I would recommend this lodge to anyone wanting to be off the beaten path.
