Excellent location for entry into the YNP and access to town. The pull out was nicer than we expected, but the place is better suited to 2 people. Extremely nice inside and well equipped. We would definitely stay here again.

We spent 3 days in Yellowstone. We loved the location of the condo, just quick minutes from the Yellowstone entrance, and walking distance to the center of town. The condo was clean and comfortable, and provided everything we needed.

Good place for ‘base camp’

Only negative was if you are on the lower floor, it is very noisy from the floor above.

Amazing location

Amazing location right next to the west entrance of Yellowstone! Very clean and the property manager was easily contacted when I tried to contact them! I with there was a washer and dryer in the unit though, but there is a laundromat right next door. Overall very nice place to stay and amazing location :)

Yellowstone visit

Pros: Perfect location for easy access to west entrance gate of the park, restaurants and shopping. Very comfortable, attractive accommodations. Cons: If you are on the lower level, the noise, footsteps etc can be loud, no ice maker or ice cube trays, no view…but if you are going to the park, it won’t matter!! Overall, very happy with our stay!

Cute and Comfortable

Really nice visit to the area. The space was updated/new and less than a mile from the entrance to Yellowstone, so very convenient. The only issue was the shower - water was going out all over the floor. We just mopped it up with towels, but we couldn’t keep the water in! (Nice, big bathroom though). Would stay again!

Great Stay for 2 people

This condo/apartment was charming and very convenient to Yellowstone National Park and the Grizzly and Wolf Rescue. There were several great restaurants within walking distance as well as a brewery and a few grocery stores. The kitchen was equipped with pots and pans but did not have enough cutlery (forks) for our family of four. The bed in the bedroom was comfortable but the pull out couch could use a bit more cushion. If it were only two of us I would definitely stay here again.

Great for yellowstone

Close to yellowstone. Some listed amenities in the document in the home was misleading No laundry no iron. Place had an unusual odor almost as if someone had an animal staying there recently The town was close but the area of this property was in a location we did not feel comfortable walking 5 blocks to town center We actually left one day sooner than planned

Clean and comfortable

We stayed 4 nights here and it was very clean and comfortable. We did notice as previous reviewers have said that the shower gets the floor wet so we laid down towels beneath the shower curtain and that worked. Lovely to have the kitchenette and the ability to make our own meals if we liked. The little town is packed with things to do as well as shops and restaurants, all within walking distance. We were able to pick up groceries and my husband even got a haircut! We highly recommend Castle in the Sky.

Cute, clean place. Great location!

This place was very clean and nice! Everything was exactly as expected. Communication with the hosts was excellent. The location was great, within walking distance to multiple restaurants and shops. Very short drive to the West Yellowstone entrance. The only downside to this place is that if you have anyone staying in the upstairs condo, you hear EVERYTHING. Every footstep, chair movement, water running-everything is super loud. Not a huge deal since we were out exploring most of the time but definitely frustrating when trying to sleep.

Perfect location!

This place was great! Nice and cozy! My only suggestion for the property manager, would be to maybe offer a tower fan of some sort. The place is super quiet, and no airflow being there is no central air. I have a hard time sleeping when there is no air flow. But other than that, the place was perfect!
