Easy walking distance to town for shopping or dining. The stay is within a 5 minute drive from Yellowstone, making it very convenient to those traveling for this reason. Hosts communicated recommendations and made themselves available if needed.

We had been on the road all day and wanted to possibly check in early. When we got to the front desk, they were very accommodating and made arrangements for us to be able to get to our cabin early. Every interaction we had with the staff was beyond pleasant. The cabin itself was very clean and well maintained. Great place to stay!!
