Gem of a place

This was an amazing place to stay for visiting both yellowstone and grand teton. I will definitely be back. Cute and exceptionally clean. When i extended my stay, they made sure I could keep the same cabin so I didn't need to move my stuff.

Little tiny cabin. Clean and cozy. The internet is a bit slow and unstable but it’s okay. It is a bit small, not enough room for large luggage and the car isn’t able to park upfront, it is a bit inconvenient.

We absolutely loved this place. Cleanest hotel we have ever stayed in. Such a cute little cabin, it had everything we needed and more. Close enough to Yellowstone National Park and self check in is always a plus.
