This was such a cozy stay. The staff were so kind every time we talked to them. They gave great tips on where to eat. The location was incredibly convenient to Yellowstone and easily walkable for food options. I liked the drink station they had set up outside and the free library. Definitely recommend.

Great location and a wonderful patio with beautiful river views. I would have rated this property a little higher if the complimentary coffee and tea service were provided in an indoor lobby area rather than outside. The creamers are exposed to the afternoon sun, which may affect their quality. It would also be helpful if the coffee and tea were available before 8:00 a.m., as many guests are early risers and like to get an early start to their day. On both mornings of our stay, we were up and ready to leave between 7:00 and 7:30 a.m., but the complimentary coffee and tea had not yet been set out. Overall, the location and riverfront setting were the highlights of our stay.
