The Honest Truth

Real talk: it’s not a five-star hotel. It’s a riverfront glamping outpost with fireplaces and big skies. The vibe is magical and the 4.8 rating backs it up, but it isn’t silent and you won’t find in-room bathrooms in every unit. If you need a private bath, this won’t be your spot.

Who Should Skip This

Light sleepers; those needing in-room bathrooms; significant mobility concerns.

What Guests Say

Glamping magic on the Yellowstone River—cozy tipis, fires, and starry skies, with elk sightings and wild vibes. The high rating backs the memorable experience, but plan for crowds and nature to do its thing.
