Cute, clean motel with very friendly staff. The bathroom set up was a little strange, large counter spaces, one sink, toilet very low to the ground, but nothing that we couldn’t handle.

I must say, I was a bit hesitant when I pulled up to this place, but it ended up being my favorite stay out of 4 hotels! So cute inside! Not far from West Yellowstone either! We found the Craters of the Moon National Monument and went there, which we never would have discovered had we stayed in Wyoming the entire trip. I would recommend this lodge to anyone wanting to be off the beaten path.

Nicely decorated rooms. The front desk staff was friendly and alloed us to stay in same room for dates booked on-line and directly. This prevented us from having to move rooms in tje middle of the stay. I would recommend replacing the TV table with a dresser. I prefer to unpack but living out of a suitcase was fine.

It was a very nice place to stay overall. We were there for our family vacation to Yellowstone, and it was a good experience. The rooms were a little small, but it was very nice overall. They only have a small selection of muffins and fruit for breakfast, but there are a few restaurants in the area. There is a mini fridge in the room, and the grocery store is right around the corner and easily walkable.
