Needed an easy but good stay with 4 adults. Decent bathroom, comfortable beds and easy check-in. Will definitely consider this place for our next trip to Yellowstone National Park.
It was well located to Yellowstone and was adequate for me and my two sons who shared a queen bed. Very compact. One private bedroom. We enjoyed our stay. Only had 2 chairs.
Very comfy bed, just needed to be a little bit bigger. Room was very nice and clean. Cloae to the park entrance and places to eat witin walking distance.
Fyi. Freezer needs to be defrosted and food that we put in fridge froze
Had trouble with turning off the bedroom floor heater. Would have liked a seating area in the front room. We didn’t spend much time in the cabin so it worked for our schedule.

Smoke alarm went off twice in 5 days for no reason. Too small to be called a 2 bedroom suite.
It was convenient to downtown for dining and access to the park.
Overall it was okay.
The room was advertised as a 2 bedroom suite. It was the size of a small hotel room with a wall down the middle of the room. There was no door on either bedroom. Needless to say, no privacy.
It was the most expensive room in our 12 day trip and the worst by far.
We enjoyed our stay at the Bucking Moose. Close walk to restaurants in town. Very short drive in to Yellowstone. Would definitely stay here again! Much less commotion than Jackson!
