Book it! We loved everything about this place. Cabin was rustic and cozy. The grounds were fun to explore with a lot going on. The food at the restaurant was 5 star for sure, especially enjoyed the cowboy pours from the bar. Continental breakfast in the morning with coffee was a nice bonus. We had a pleasant chat with the host and he gave us a viewing tip to see the Grand Tetons. We’d love to go back and rent the atv’s to explore Union pass area.

This is a safe and relatively clean place to stay. Excellent location to entrance of Yellowstone. Easy to walk around Gardiner, including a Yellowstone store, restaurants, and the Roosevelt entrance. Lots of wildlife in/around the town. Our only complaint was small flies coming out of the drain which weren’t bothersome but were kind of gross.

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.

Very dated, great location, friendly staff. You can walk to anything you need and you're very close to the gate. Bathroom was so small it was hard to get ready in. Beds were comfortable. Do not stay in Room 101- as you lay in bed, your head will be right on the other side of the wall shared with the motel office and there is a lot of banging and noise in the morning. We got horrible sleep because of it.
