Location easy to find, cabin is clean and spacious, my kids love it. One thing is that the smoke alarm “beeping” non stop, probably out of battery and no one came to fix it during our 3 nights stay, would love to give 5 stars if not that

I was worried about the modern European bathroom but it was just fine. The tv did come on 2 times in the night but that could have been operator error. Cute and quaint.

Nice resort in the middle of nowhere

Cabin was squeaky clean.. It looks like brand new built building. Smells like woods! Would definitely stay here again if passing this area of Idaho!!! The free breakfast was horrible. There were lines just to make waffles. No eggs available. Would recommend people to just bought their breakfast and prep it inside the beautiful cabin!

This was a very nice log cabin experience for me and my family. I would definitely stay here again and I highly recommend this. It’s about a 30 min drive to the west entrance of Yellowstone which makes it very convenient. Highly recommended

Wonderful experience. The place has everything! Well thought out amenities. Staff was super nice and helpful. The continental breakfast consisted of carbs, yogurt, coffee, tea, hot chocolate, apples, oranges, cereal, milk and juice. The nearest Walmart is located 1 hour away in Rexburg. The Spruce loft was teeny tiny and not meant for adults. In fact, it was not conducive for older kids either. The laundry facility was nice and affordable. The sauna and cold plunge facility was clean and relaxing. The fire pits were thoughtfully arranged and provides for a fun evening of enjoying s’mores provided by Blue Buffalo.
