This is a family owned lodge and they are warm, friendly, and helpful. They invite the guests in the morning for pastries and a light breakfast. The room was clean but a little rustic. The bed was very comfortable. I would highly recommend this property.

Clean bed and hot shower. Coffee and a wonderful cinnamon roll in the morning. If you are looking for a high price chain motel this is not it. This is locally owned by someone who knows the history or Keystone and their property. She took the time to educate us on some amazing history and gave us tips for our bike ride to Yellowstone. Will stay here again for sure. Call them direct instead of using an online app. Makes things easier.

It was awesome staying so close to the main strip of Keystone but also being secluded enough for a quiet good night's rest on a very comfortable bed! Staff was so friendly and the place had character, a beautiful patio, and amazing scenery. It felt safe and clean and comfortable. I will definitely be staying here again!

Ehhh

Air conditioner wasn’t working. Finally called after realizing it was not going to cool down and they sent someone out immediately. Very very simple accommodations. When they say no frill they really mean no frill.

Noting beats a privately-run lodge where the owners are active in the property. Cine and Tammy made or stay memorable. And when United airlines left us stranded - accommodated use for an extra night at a better rate than Expedia. Next time - I will book with them and not Expedia - which is no longer the value it once was.
