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.

This property is perfect if you are exploring Yellowstone National Park. It’s well located, provides a parking spot per unit and has all memories you need. There is no on- site staff or lobby. Think of it more as individual lodge like cabins. It worked for our 2-night stay while exploring Yellowstone National Park

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.

Overpriced, and deceiving online pictures. Loud street noise, not enough parking, and no on site staff. Could’ve stayed longer in the town at cheaper resort. They are realistic expectations that come from overpriced rates, and this place fell so short!

It was a great place to stay, walking distance to the town. The only reason I have a 4 star is that the toilet had a deep clog. The maintenance personnel where there in a timely fashion and corrected it after awhile, they needed to use a heavy duty snake to unclog. This was a minor inconvenience.
