I highly recommend Cabins West Lodging in West Yellowstone. Seven family members and friends stayed in the Teton Townhouse for a week in October 2015 to do some fishing in Yellowstone National Park and found it to be spacious, very clean and beautifully decorated with a rustic open beam western flair.

There was plenty of extra room for more than our group of seven even with all our gear. The appliances, furniture and finishes are in great condition and the amenities and well stocked kitchen and laundry pantry made it as convenient as staying at my own home. When a light bulb burned out in a desk lamp I just opened the laundry pantry cabinet and there were extra light bulbs right where one expected them to be. We did a lot of meal preparation including baking pies and making bread since the days were short, and found all the dishes and utensils needed to "get 'er done."

In my search for lodging I looked at several similar properties but they were either several miles out of the town of West Yellowstone or significantly more expensive. Wanting to avoid the extra drive into town for miscellaneous food items and into the Park we chose to stay right in West Yellowstone. In the past we booked groups of motel rooms with kitchenettes and then dined in one of the groups rooms, but the cabin model was much more convenient and as cost effective.

As for the owners they communicated with us well at each point of our stay from booking to final departure and even provided us with cans of bear spray so that we wouldn't get stuck with cans that we couldn't fly home with on the plane.
