We stayed in Lynx 7. These are quaint and cute little cabins. Think shabby chic. Our unit needs a little TLC ( specifically a broken toilet seat) and some other tweaks, but nothing that would prevent us from booking again. Very walkable to everything and a 1 minute drive to the West entrance of Yellowstone. Overall, great stay!

We loved our personal entrance, the porch swing out front, the comfy bed and the cleanliness of the room! Room service was prompt every day! My only suggestion would be to replace the mirror as it is too cloudy. Otherwise, we would come back again!
