Lovely cabins set against a beautiful backdrop with great wifi. Our cabin was a bit hot when we arrived at 10 pm but that was quickly fixed by unplugging the heater. The service was "streamlined" so they send texts and phone up to see how you are doing, but the management was very friendly.

The cabin was small but perfect for 3 adults. Beds were comfortable, and there was a mini fridge and microwave. Check in and check out were super easy and convenient. Definitely worth it and about 30-40 minutes from west entrance to Yellowstone National Park.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
This place was horrible! The bed was old and lumpy, carpet was dirty with crumbs on it. Lamp was broken in half and just left with electical wiring exposed, and it was the only light for the corner of the room. I left a cup on the bathroom sink to drink water out of it. In the middle of the night I went to have a drink and noticed there were two bugs in the cup!! I want a refund. This place is beautiful on the outside, but inside is terrible!

The upstairs walkway to the rooms was blocked some by the hanging flower pots and when house keeping put linens from rooms being cleaned out on the floor. Kinda made it difficult to pass with luggage. The flowers were pretty, but kinda got in the way when carrying luggage in and out of our room. We were in number 11

Absolutely loved that place! Close enough to Yellowstone National Park to see the park, and far enough away that we could get out of the crowds of the town of West Yellowstone. Gave us the feeling of cabin style home without being too far from a gas station and food. It was GREAT!
