Fantastic experience at a great price!

Wonderful property and staff. Instructions and directions were clear. Property was easy to find and in great location at a terrific price. Within 20 minutes of Yellowstone, restuarants, and shops. Safari tent was nice with comfortable beds and bedding. Nights were chilly but plenty of blankets were provided that kept us perfectly warm. Staff is friendly and helpful and work hard to keep the property in great condition. Bathrooms were clean and stocked and plenty of towels provided. Loved our stay, would definitely stay again when back in the area.

Maddie was very welcoming at check in, she made sure we got bear spray, (just incasd) and Towels to shower with. The nught was peaceful and the stars were amazing! We loved the mountain air. The morning we left. BLAKE got my attention and showed me aome moose, and he let me get my daughter so she could see them, sleeping not to far away from our yurt! If you love sleeping under the stars, i recommend this place.

The room itself was cute, but that’s where it ends. They had a portable bathroom/shower facility that offered 3 showers with toilets & one with a toilet, no shower. They gave you one towel & asked you to reuse it. You had to walk down a dusty path to get there so the floors in the bathrooms were always muddy. There were not enough to accommodate the amount of guests. People were always waiting outside for someone else to come out. As for the water in the showers, you may or may not have any hot water or no water at all. We were scheduled to stay for 5 days.. we only made it 2 and found a more accommodating place. Since leaving, they have opened their new bathhouses that have more space for guests & are up to date.

It was a nice experience. The staff are friendly and reliable. However, who ever decided to install the bathroom mirror all the way up so no one can see their faces needs a pay cut. The actual Tipi is clean and they provided adequate blanket/ comforter for the freezing weather in the morning. Overall the experience is unique and I would still recommend this place.

We loved the tipi. The beds were so comfortable, check in was super easy. The roads could be improved, we had a mini-van and driving to and from our site was tough, trying to avoid all the potholes.

I loved this staying here! We had our 8 month old with us and we were able to get the feeling of camping with the convenience of having a safe indoor area for her. And I loved that even though we were out and away from everything, it was still only a 10 minute drive to the store! It was perfect!

Great experience! There were no stores nearby, so bring your water/snacks. Also, bring some chairs if you want to spend time outside your tent. The bed was comfortable, and the staff were wonderful.

The tents are nice including beds. The remainder is disgusting and for the money paid we felt ripped off. Toilets and so showers are dirty and every other camp site has more convenient. The entire property is without any development. Just rough, dusty land. Any facility is improvised and of lowest quality. Calling this glamping and requesting this amount of money is a tourist trap. Do not go there.
