“Only booked here because West Yellowstone was too expensive for our 3 days in Yellowstone NP. And I'm so glad it was, because we would have completely missed out on this incredible place. I have no idea why this was cheaper than a nondescript motel in West Yellowstone, because now I've seen it I realise what we paid was a bargain.
The lodge is a whole apartment, with fully equipped kitchen, balcony, sofa, 2x TVs, fire place etc. Onsite there is a swimming pool and sauna but we didn't use these.
Within walking distance there's a place to grab a buffet breakie, and a supermarket. There's a couple of restaurants and an amazing ice cream parlour a short drive away.
To be honest it was a little shame that we left early and returned late from the NP each day, because I would have loved to have spent more time at the lodge now I've seen how amazing it is.
If you stay here you won't regret it.”

The sausage gravy was absolutely divine, homemade biscuits and don't forget the thick cut bacon ? Trish was very friendly and fun to talk to. Do yourself a favor and stop for breakfast.”
“We booked the river float only, and so cannot speak on the Inn accommodations. There is construction going on now, which would be a bummer if staying there.We booked a morning float (approx 9 am). It took us about 2.5 hours total once in the water, with some drifting and some paddling. I would guess the depth we floated ranged from 6 inches to 5-6 feet. There were several places we had to get out and pull the float, but this was part of the fun and the float is sturdy which makes it relatively easy to jump in and out. The water is cold, but refreshing.The scenery is gorgeous! For wildlife, we saw 4 moose to include a mother and her calf, bald eagle, osprey, fish, white pelicans, river otter and countless other waterfowl.There was no bathroom open right by the raft rental at 9am. We were directed to the hotel but felt a little odd in our "river clothes" walking through the hotel lobby.All in all, it was a great day and my favorite activity thus far on our trip! We had a party of 5 of all ages and we all enjoyed it. There was plenty of room in the raft for the 5 of us and our belongings. I was ready to be taken back up river and float x 2!”
“We had dinner with my siblings and parents here. The food is excellent, made from scratch, with fresh ingredients. The chef and wait staff are fantastic. The owner and the chef visited our table and were entertaining/ interesting people.
Food and drinks: I had a poke bowl for the appetizer, my entree was the beef tenderloin with finger potatoes broccolini, and for desert, I had turtle cheese cake.
All of it was fantastic. My wife has several good allergies that they worked around superbly.”
