We really enjoyed our stay at Under Canvas. Montana Jim was great during our check-in, and all other staff was friendly and helpful as well. We loved the on-site restaurant and cute Bronco Bar. My only complaint was lukewarm coffee in the morning at the check-in tent. We will definitely stay at another Under Canvas site in our future travels!!

The staff were helpful and the lobby was equipped with necessary things. It gets really hot in the tent during the day and the fan provided do not offer much comfort. The noise of the travel carts resonate through late night.

Fantastic location to stay while enjoying Yellowstone and the surrounding areas.
Tents are comfortable and well appointed but be prepared for cold nights as there is no electricity and the wood-burning stove only lasts a couple of hours.
Lodge is set up for fun and the team go out of their way to cater to your enjoyment.
