When we first checked in the first room we received had a terrible cigarette smell coming from the bathroom, the staff were able to help and give us a different room which was greatly appreciated. The property is decent, pillows were extremely flat and the bed was rough to sleep on. And the cabins are always creaking which can sometimes wake you up in the middle of the night. I did love they had the bonfires but it was unfortunately raining the entire stay so we didn’t get to enjoy the smores. They had great hot chocolate in the lobby which was great to warm up with, and included laundry services. Not bad overall for being close to Yellowstone.

First impression was the trash, which I picked up, in the front yard. Inside there were limited amenities and the kitchen outlet didn't work. We reported it but it never got fixed. The area around this place was nice as it was walking distance to downtown.

Great location for getting into the park. However, the person who checked me in could not have been less interested in his job. Did not seem to be at all friendly. The cabin was nice, and the parking was convenient. We walked into the cabin at 57 degrees inside (air conditioning). The thermostat was broken and took some work to get it set correctly. A large trash dumpster was right behind our cabin, which attracted a huge party of crows in the early morning hours. Other than the guy at the front desk. Despite the barely working thermostat and the crow party, we had a good stay.

Water heater keep resetting

The only problem we encountered was the water heater was not working properly the water is keep resetting after 3-4m of showering which annoyed me because it’s freezing also they could shovel the snow outside the stairs for a safety of the client but other than that everything was good

Garbages were full when we arrived. No coffee or toilet paper in the room. Drapery rod fell when we closed the door. Most of the television stations were out. Third time I’ve stayed here this year and by far the most disappointing.

This is a nice property. Very clean, and cozy. The kitchenette is stocked with the essentials to prepare light meals or to have a hot chocolate by the fireplace. The proximity to the west entrance to Yellowstone park is very convenient. The s’mores kits they provided it’s a nice touch, we used it on the fire pit across the cabin. Great place overall.

CABIN LIFE is THE BEST!!

My husband and I spent 4 nights at our Explorer Cabin. We had a great time staying there. It was still chilly so it was fun to come back to our cabin after a day inside Yellowstone and turn on our fireplace and enjoy a cup of hot chocolate. It’s quite spacious which was nice considering our length of stay. The kitchenette was well stocked. We cooked 4 breakfasts and made a lunch everyday to take inside the park cuz you never know if you’re going to be by a food service area when you get hungry. It even had a portable ice maker machine which was great to fill our cups with every morning. Right outside our cabin was a fire pit and little S’more kits sat on top of the fireplace if you wanted to roast mallows and make them. There were binoculars, walking sticks and a little flashlight lantern if you needed those items. If you wanted to play games they had a few fun games in our cabin as well as books about Yellowstone. I can’t say enough great things about our experience at the Explorer Cabins! The proximity to the park is a 5 minute drive. We didn’t use the pool inside the Grey Wolf Inn but it looked nice. I don’t believe you’ll regret staying at Explorer Cabins. Give it a try!
