We had room 8 and it was the cutest room ever! Two separate bedrooms, and a huge bathroom. There is now couch or lounge chair, but we didn’t need that as we were just staying one night passing through. Walked to the Mexican restaurant down the street for some great food! Staff was accommodating and friendly. The shower was wonderful!

It is one story, you park right in front of your entry door. Therefore, you don’t have to carry your suitcases very far. Very clean. It would’ve been nice to have an iron and ironing board.

The Fishing Bear Lodge is a very good option in this area. The motel was clean and comfortable. Ashton is quiet. We were headed to West Yellowstone, which is quite a bit more expensive.

It’s very clean, but the hotel is older. They’ve remodeled it, so it’s actually nicer than if they hadn’t. The air conditioning in the room is amazing! There isn’t much to do in the small town, and there are not a ton of food choices but there are some nearby.
