We were apprehensive about staying in a cabin, but this was a much more relaxing stay than any hotel room. The cabin was large with 2 double beds which were extremely comfortable, the bathroom was beautiful with a tiled walk in shower, the kitchen was extensive with a microwave, stove, fridge, coffee maker, and air fryer! The room was immaculate - all the fixings for S'mores were provided for the firepit at night, hiking sticks, binoculars, and games for the room were provided. The best part was that it was quiet - no hotel room doors waking you up during the night. It is really right next to the entrance to Yellowstone, which made it so convenient. Kaitlin at check in was friendly and very helpful providing info on restaurants, etc., which are only a few blocks away. Great experience - would go back again!

Our cabin was a one bedroom cabin with a fireplace. The fireplace was perfect since we had a night of snow. We had a small kitchen with a small stove top, microwave and small fridge. Also have a pull out couch so it's a great space for a family of 4 . The couch is good for 2 kids. There is a big firepit outside of each section of cabins which is nice to hang out at if you have a group of friends. There are a few s'more kits in each of the cabins and you can pick up more in the connecting hotel.
The hotel offers free laundry which is so helpful along with free drinks like hot chocolate, juices and water during the stay. You don't get the breakfast included if you stay in the cabins but they do have some breakfast bars and fruit you can take as an option.
They do need to fix their parking issue in cabin 1-10 location. There are 10 cabins and 12 parking spaces, 2 of them are disabled. So if everyone gets 1 space we are trying to figure out how we had 2 nights where all the spots were full. They should have signs out listed cabin number parking only.. but we just parked on the grass.
Also, if you come with a group you may not be able to stay right next to eachother depending on the cabins you pick. So if that's your goal you need to contact the cabins and get a map of the cabin numbers and what cabins are next to each other.

Great cabin stay

The cabin itself was perfect! Large TV's, kitchenette with mini fridge and microwave. Great fireplace! They supplied smores kits, binoculors, and walking sticks if needed. Bathroom was roomy. My only complaint is that the shower didn't get hot at all. We called and they came to fix it. It worked for one shower then right back to freezing cold. Which wasn't fun in April. The cabin was close to everything....a 5 min drive to the park. Would stay again but would definitely test the shower first.

We have been on a 10 day road trip staying at Airbnbs - this was our last stop before getting to our final destination and we had dogs with us. Booked last minute and we were beyond happy! Blew the Airbnb s out of the water! Cabins are amazingly clean, well stocked and cozy as all get out!! Would come back here in a minute! Probably fabulous in the summer!!

Great location and nice place

Published Date: Jan, 29, 2025 Travel Date: Jan, 1, 2025 Rating: 5 Was a little concerned about staying here as I didn’t find many reviews from winter months for this location but we were very happy. Couldn’t have asked for a better location. Close to everything. We got the two bedroom unit and found it perfect for two friends. The fireplace was great. Beds were comfortable and the bathroom was clean and effective. They have a outdoor fireplace going every night where you can roast s’mores. We didn’t partake as we were always so tired from a full day of activities but still was neat to see. Has a small refrigerator, microwave and little dishwasher isn’t the room. Not much room to put groceries but I suspect most people don’t really do much cooking. Only one little critique is the two exterior doors need better weather stripping. You could feel wind/cold air blowing in. We didn’t have a problem staying warm in the bedrooms but the hallway was cold and front room, when the fireplace wasn’t running, could get quite chilly. Definitely want to go back in the shoulder season and stay here again.
