One of the best places I have ever stayed in my many travels! Lots of space and a full kitchen that came fully stocked with dishes and silverware. Also stunning views of the Yellowstone River and foothills of Yellowstone National Park.

We got confused by the description on the amenities. We reserved a room with a balcony, expecting to overlook a river… but instead our “patio” was a walk out to the office. And zero windows to the lake. I guess we were supposed to ask for a room with a trace to see the river. Disappointed!!! Walls are also very thin. No privacy. First night a couple was fighting next door in another room and we could not sleep. The next day, new neighbors were talking late into the night and we could hear the conversation. We will not be coming back.

Just a mile or so from North Entrance. Only thing I would recommend is making sure you get the room with the view. I was heading no view.

This adorable little property is just minutes from the north entrance to Yellowstone and overlooks the Yellowstone River. We loved our cottage. We had a view of the mountains from our bed where we watched elk grazing every day (using binoculars). The room was clean, cozy and had everything we needed. Would def stay there again!

Looked like it could use a little TLC on the outside. But the inside was recently remodeled, and was really nice. A very nice communtiy deck. Very close to the Roosevelt gate, I would stay here again.
