This was absolutely the PERFECT little cottage to stay in Montana. Due to weather, we had a couple of hiccups and the staff was very communicative. The place was super cute and quaint. I absolutely LOVED waking up in the morning to the mountain and river view. It was the perfect place to just exhale. Wish we could have stay an extra day/night.

Nice welcoming people. The place has everything you need. Nice shower, great bed, completely equipped room. Amazing view. The only thing is noise as you have neighbors right next to your door, plus walls are thin. And you can hear cars entering the parking lot due to the pebbles. But no biggie.

Very clean, great amenities, parking easy with assigned spaces. It was a chilly day and it was so easy to adjust the temperature to a very comfortable 72 degrees. The cabins are tiny, but they are so clean and filled with necessary items that I haven seen even in “big city” hotels. Easy walk to restaurants and a grocery store. It’s a small business in a small town, so please appreciate how unique and charming it is rather than complain about trivial things. Enjoy your Yellowstone adventure. We will absolutely stay there again.
