Thank you for your review! We are always happy to hear back from our guests. We are glad to hear you enjoyed your time here and we hope to host you again soon!
The property was amazing! It was clean, well stocked with supplies (including dishwasher and laundry soap), and all appliances were working. The kitchen had all necessary cooking equipment and also an available cooler and large icepacks to use. The only thing missing was air conditioning but very helpful to have fans available to use as it did cool off at night. The location was great- 5 minutes from the West Yellowstone Park entrance! I would stay here again!

Thank you for your wonderful review! We’re glad you enjoyed the clean, well-equipped property, convenient location, and easy access to Yellowstone. We appreciate your feedback about the fans and are happy they helped keep you comfortable. We’d love to welcome you back anytime!
Location was great, and we really enjoyed having three levels to help give some privacy to the teen in our family. Beds were super soft (we are used to more firm beds), but that’s perfect if that’s your thing!

Thank you for your review! We are always happy to hear back from our guests. We are glad to hear you enjoyed your time here. Look forward to hosting you again soon!
We enjoyed our stay very much. The otters den was well equipped and perfectly located, pretty close to the supermarket and to the beautiful trails. There is only one negative thing, the space upstairs is not a separate room, since it is has no doors, so the property is not really comfortable for two couples, because the one who stay upstairs has no privacy. Besides this, we loved this place.The host was super nice and responsive.Thank you!
Property was very clean and comfortable. Spacious bedrooms and baths. Kitchen well appointed. Living area is small. Large tv with good selection and easy delete your private apps when leaving. Location was close to park but wasn’t in the nicest location

We loved staying at the Otters Den. We were traveling with my husband, brother and sister-in-law. It's minutes from the West Yellowstone Entrance and is close to everything in town. Overall our stay was good. There was a wine spill on the floor that didn't get cleaned up before we checked in. I have a few suggestions. There should be some sort of window covering for the window in the kitchen. Also, additional lighting in the living room would help lighten the place up. We still had a great visit and would stay again. Thanks for everything.
