Overview

About This Property

Historic lodge dating from 1904–1905 sits just 2 miles from Yellowstone's East Entrance, with 40 cabins. No TVs in rooms and wifi is limited to the main lodge, so unplug to soak in the scenery. On-site Lodgepole Room and Tepee Tavern feed you, and parking is free. Pets welcome in designated rooms.

Your Morning Game Plan

Breakfast at Lodgepole Room runs 7:00–10:30—it's simple and local. You're about 5 minutes from Yellowstone's East Entrance, so roll out by 6:45 AM. Head out early to beat crowds and enjoy a quiet start in the mountains.

The Honest Truth

Look: this is a historic lodge, not a modern resort. TVs are absent in rooms and wifi is spotty, mostly usable in the main lodge. It rewards you with Yellowstone history and rustic charm, but you're paying for atmosphere more than chrome and luxury.

Who Should Skip This

❌ SKIP IF: You need high-speed internet, elevator access, or ultra-modern rooms.

Booking Insider Tip

Book months in advance for peak season; Reunion Lodge and Deluxe Condo require longer notice (60 days).

What Guests Say

Historic, rustic, family-friendly; limited in-room tech but rich in Yellowstone history; expect limited wifi and potential road noise but embrace the unique lodge atmosphere.
