Elkhorn Cabins and Inn

About This Property

Budget base near Yellowstone's West Entrance. Historic cabins dating back to the 1870s mix with a 1948 motel vibe. There’s no on-site restaurant, and breakfast isn’t guaranteed for every room. Free WiFi and parking keep the value honest.

Property History

The Honest Truth

Not the Ritz. It’s a historic, no-frills base with basic rooms and no on-site dining. Location is unbeatable for Yellowstone access, and it stays quiet on a side street. Beds can be firm and accessibility may be limited by the age of the buildings.

Who Should Skip This

Skip if you need full wheelchair accessibility or a hotel with on-site dining and kid-friendly amenities.
