Worked well for our family, cute and affordable!

We stayed one night but it was perfect for our family of 7! Stayed in the family studio suite which had two twin size bunk beds with a small couch in that room, bigger bed with full size couch in room with microwave, full size refrigerator, a small table with 3 chairs, TV and then a bigger bed with TV in the room (bedroom) you first enter when entering the unit. Everything was clean and dark/blackout curtains were nice. Small eco friendly bottles of lotion, shampoo and bar of soap. We arrived late but not a problem, check in was easy on our own. Location is right off the road, behind our unit was grass area and some trains. Decor was adorable cabin/wilderness like dark green, wood and bears. Light breakfast with granola bars, oatmeal, grab and go type things. Camping chairs in room to use. Price was reasonable and this place was just what we were looking for on our stop before Yellowstone/Grand Teton.

The room, bed and Air conditioning was very comfortable. This was really a motel with a Lodge Title. If you go expecting a lodge type atmosphere you will be disappointed. It was close to what we wanted to see and we got a nice nights sleep. Our dog go to stay with us for an extra 30 dollars. overall it was an Average to good experience.

Don’t be fooled by advertising, this is an in town motel, not out in the rural “fishing” area like it implies with its pictures. However, it was clean, and had choices of several places to eat, it’s just not in a rural setting, it’s right on main drag. Bed was fine, bathroom was fine.
