Located half between Cody and the Park just where we wanted to be. Owners were very hands on and welcoming. Restaurant and bar very fun, and the beds were just the best. Could not get cell phone calls, but that was probably for the best on vacation.

Nice lodge about 60 mins from East Gate Yellowston
Very cool old lodge re-worked into bigger rooms. We had the large room for families. If we had been with our family, this would be GREAT. Slept 8 in total.
They were shorthanded, so not super available, but all our needs were met, questions answered. We’d stay again.

Awesome
Arrived around 8pm and Beth met me at the door! Extremely friendly and made sure we got a hot meal before the kitchen closed. Room was very cute and comfortable. Didnt realize it had tile floors thoughout the room, my dog is pretty old and struggles on them. Overall though, wonderful stay. Highly recommend.

The most comfy beds on our whole road trip! I could have stayed in them for days! The room was spotless and super roomy. Almost like a mini apartment. The room was surprisingly quiet even though it sits right on the highway.

We really enjoyed our stay. We drove into Yellowstone Park several days and spent the day there, and we drove into Cody, WY a couple of days and checked out the town and the museum. The lodge is conveniently located to access both locations. The lodge also has a great history and there are history notes posted around the property

Our room was very rustic and nice. The tv didn’t really have any good channels. I liked that our room had a full kitchen with refrigerator and microwave. The hotel is just a couple of miles from the more populated part of Wapiti Valley.

Large room with kitchen and bathroom. Understand it's older but seemed to be underlying level of not clean, particularly floors and bathroom. Also, when wet outside from rain, you can't help but track a ton of dirt, leaves and tree needles in because no mat inside the door. Small thing that would help. Onsite restaurant very good, so giving extra star for that.
