The staff were helpful and the lobby was equipped with necessary things. It gets really hot in the tent during the day and the fan provided do not offer much comfort. The noise of the travel carts resonate through late night.

We really enjoyed our stay at Under Canvas. Montana Jim was great during our check-in, and all other staff was friendly and helpful as well. We loved the on-site restaurant and cute Bronco Bar. My only complaint was lukewarm coffee in the morning at the check-in tent. We will definitely stay at another Under Canvas site in our future travels!!

Fabulous glamping experience! Beautiful accommodations, tents spread far enough apart that it remains peaceful. Every staff member we encountered was friendly and eager to accommodate any requests. We needed more fire starter at 5AM and they came right out. The communal area has several table and fire pits to gather around. There was even solo musician singing last night. The stars at night are spectacular- I would highly recommend!

"Glamping"--sort of...

This place is well done. Great check in process with Montana Jim (but takes 20 mins to go through everything so be prepared). It's pretty much what you see in the pics is what you get. The good: if you want a "glamping-style" experience it is. The bad: it's really not very close to Yellowstone, it gets cold at night and the stove in the tent only handles 2 hours at a time, the hot water is only hot, the sink/shower in tent is very basic, the sky-gazer part of the tent has no shade and it gets very bright and very hot in the morning on your face, there's not much to do right at the camp. All in all, fun for 1 night but you better be the hearty-type and ready to keep yourself entertained while there.

Checking in was a pain. Check in was 3pm but they didnt have the room ready until almost 5pm. Everybody was friendly and the place is beautiful including the room. But I had to wait for almost 2 hours for them to have the room ready. Im not sure if it was a once off thing, but it was a major inconvenience.
