The picture showed cabines when I booked but we were in a motel, so we were not what I was expecting.

Good, but small
Was a good place for an overnight stay. Was quite small. But it worked as we were just passing through.

Adorably furnished tiny log cabin was one of the highlights on our month long road trip. I highly recommend this place.

This motel was very nice. I loved the rustic look of the room. We had a problem with the TV when we first moved in, however I called the staff and they came right away and was able to fix the problem.

It was suitable for an overnight stay near Yellowstone. Very squeaky floors from upstairs neighbors and we heard everything around us and above us. I did like the decor of the room.

Bending over backwards!
Beth and her team were excellent, making sure our stay was all it could be. She arranged for an extra day when we needed it. Top notch, and highly recommended.

The directions to find our cabin were incorrect, we actually didn't have a cabin which was not clear. The room was small but clean and comfortable. However, we could hear neighbors having "fun" and the people above us walking and their dog walking all night sounded like they were in our room....no sleep.

Contactless check in was stressful because of cell service in the area!! Worked, but instead of enjoying driving through Yellowstone National Park we were worried about getting the info the lodge asked for!!! Nice enough room.

We literally took two hours to find the room. Nobody attends the call & nobody respond our message. Room key wasn’t found as per the mentioned location. The room that we got while booking was different than the one we get. We have to put torch to find the rooms where other guests were sleeping. No lights at all in the area. We didn’t feel safe.
