Motel layout with authentic log cabins

The property has 24 rooms, including updated authentic 1950s log cabins. On-site amenities are limited, and parking can be tight. Free parking is available, but some spaces are not in the interior lot; SUVs and trucks must park along the sides or behind the second building, and a paid self-parking option exists.
Late spring to early summer (May–June) for good conditions; April and October offer lower rates.

This place was a last minute find. It was a small local hotel. We had a king bed room on the second floor. It was super clean, the bed was comfortable, the room had what we needed. There wasn't a closet, and there wasn't a dresser. There were two drawers under the bed that worked for our short stay. The staff was the best part of the stay. They were super friendly and were truly interested in us and what we needed. The location was also one of the best parts. We were only about 2 minutes from the west gate to Yellowstone. I would recommend this place if you are looking for a nice place to see the park from. If you are looking to see the north loop of the park I would recommend staying in a different location other than west yellow stone because it is a lot of driving to get back.

Great location near Yellowstone, with clean and well-kept rooms. The shower area was small but manageable. Unfortunately, the room doors didn’t have interior latches for added security. Housekeeping knocked after 9 a.m. (checkout time was 11). As the knock was unanswered — we were in sleep — he opened the door. Providing housekeeping with a list of vacated rooms would help avoid such situations. I wish latches were provided; it would have made the stay even better (also, safer). Otherwise, courteous staff and a great place overall.

When we pulled up I was a little nervous but we checked in and I was feeling sheepish for my judgement. The rooms are clean and the decor is so cute!! Bed was comfy. Bathroom was TIGHT! Not much room in the shower and sink area and the toilet is so LOW and I'm short 5'3 All in all we enjoyed our stay. We had 2 rooms downstairs with king beds. I didn't take a picture of the bathroom 😔
