Explorer Cabins in West Yellowstone are across the street and walking distance from the Grizzly & Wolf Discovery Center. They are close to the west entrance to Yellowstone NP. Staff was not the most personable and checked us into a room that was either occupied or never cleaned. Breakfast was dismal. The food choices were not good (bread, muffins, hard boiled egg, rolled tortilla, etc. We were told we could partake in breakfast even though the cabins do not include breakfast. The fireplace in our cabin never worked even after maintenance looked at it and told us it never works. The second room we were assigned was clean but not comfortable. We did not get our original choice but rather a poor, two room cabin with two separate beds. Shower worked well, dishwasher included, small refrigerator, huge TV. A chain this big should have had their ducks in a row but they didn't seem to care or even check in with us after check in. Will consider alternate lodging next year.

A good place to stay. Do a walk through first.

This is a hotel and cabins complex in town. The cabins are newer and have a kitchenette with cooktop, fridge, microwave and dishwasher and a gas fireplace. We also had access to the hotel’s pool, fitness center and free laundry. We contacted the front desk four times during our four night stay for various maintenance tasks: the fireplace wouldn’t light, the safe was locked, the refrigerator’s freezer was iced up and there was no hot water briefly. All of these items were addressed immediately. They had to come back twice for the fireplace. We were satisfied with their prompt response, but all of these issues could have been addressed with closer attention to periodic maintenance. Overall we were happy with our stay.

Outstanding, family friendly cabin! The cabins are near the west entrance of the park, and come with access to the indoor pool and free laundry service at the Gray Wolf lodge (easy walking distance across the street). The cabins are new, clean, and came with rainy day activities (games, books to read), as well as binoculars and walking sticks! There is a communal fire pit to roast complimentary s’mores, and on some nights you can hear the wolves howling from the conservation center across the highway. The gas fireplace in the cabin was cozy. The beds were comfortable, bathroom shower had great water pressure. Service was excellent. We would definitely stay here again!!!

Very nice cabin.at the entrance of Yellowstone Park

Very conveniently located within walking distance off all the restaurants and stores. Only a few Miles’s from the west entrance of Yellowstone Park. Thecabin is spacious with a large bedroom with a king bed and large flat TV., a large bathroom and a separate living room with another large screen TV and kitchenette with all the pots, pans, utensils, appliances and a nice gas fireplaces. These explorer cabins are partof the Grey Wolf Inn. Very quiet unit. Nice rustic feel We would definitely return.

Loved our Cabin #11 in the Washburn Camp off Grizzly Avenue. The landscaping and Adirondack chairs around the fire pit made me feel like I was at a remote destination, but a short walk allowed me all the perks of being in town. The cabin was very comfortable and I appreciated the thoughtful amenities (fire-pit-lit each night, s'more kits, binoculars, walking sticks, etc). I hadn't realized we booked a handicapped-accessible cabin, but used the ramp to wheel in our luggage and found I liked the fold-down shower seat! My only negatives include the paltry amount of cutlery (2 forks?) & dishware; I recommend they discard non-stick skillets with damaged coatings. That said, we were very happy with our choice and would stay here again.
