Great place! Comfy, clean, friendly. Even the pull out couch was comfortable enough! Even has a kitchenette. And there is an outside deck in a common area overlooking the river. Would for sure stay again.

We loved the room, the convenience to town, and especially the view. Staying my the river and listening to the sound was my favorite. Get a room facing the river.. worth the money.

Adorable little cottages overlooking the Gardiner River. Conveniently located near the NW entrance to Yellowstone NP. Rooms are well appointed with comfortable beds and a modern farmhouse decor. The friendly staff was helpful with restaurant recommendations and directions. They even offered to help take a photo of our group upon our departure. Very enjoyable stay.

A cute cottages by the north entrance
It was a little bit disappointed that we were not staying in the cottages with the balcony right above the river. But the location is good. We were able to explore the area of north entrance of yellow stone.

Worked perfect
This cottage is SMALL - but, for just me and my hubby it worked great for our 1 night stay. Right outside the entrance to Yellowstone it was cute and perfect for our needs. Front desk staff was very nice and friendly.
