Check-in was super simple. The cabin we were in was very clean and looked to be fairly new. Perfect space for our family of 4. The location was convenient to Yellowstone. I would definitely recommend this resort to a friend.

We only stayed here one night and were very impressed. Cabins are adorable and well appointed, beds comfortable. The resort has activities for the whole family. Breakfast is included and has various options. The landscaping around the entire resort is really well done. We have a rental property here in Island Park so typically we wouldn't stay at another lodging facility but because we came a day early we needed to and were so pleasantly surprised !

Great place to stay near Yellowstone. Lot of amenities provided by the hotel, so you can easily cook your own meal, which is important if you stay in the area (not much great choices for food). The resort also provides lots of stuff that kids can play with (playground, s'more, volleyball etc). They also have bikes and kayak that we didn't get chance to try. Nice location, quite and safe, very family friendly. I recommend it for families if they are on a trip to Yellowstone area.

Nice place to stay, a bit far from Yellowstone though. Many amenities closed during our stay. Clean cute cabin anyway and the hot tub was very nice to have after long days.
