I loved everything about this 3 night stay. I slept like a rock in the bed. It was clean and offered everything you would need, even all kitchen essentials to cook a meal. It has a homey feel to it. Cozy cabin with no expense spared. Fresh flowers being planted outside. I would stay again if ever in the area and I recommended you do too.

We used this as a jumping off point to explore Yellowstone national park and it was fantastic. Prices were reasonable and it was only a 20-25 minute drive to the west entrance of the park. We had a party of 5 , (parents, kids and gramma) and the spruce cabin fit our needs perfectly . Would highly recommend to anyone.

The technology is nice. You don't meet a person, everything is through written messages. The room is very cute but small. There is no place to open a suitcase and if you are traveling with equipment it is really inconvenient. In addition, as soon as the sun rises, the room is lit.

We stayed in one of the small, dry cabins (no water, shower). We were not excited about contactless check-in on our phone (I use a flip phone only for emergencies), which was kind of a pain. The pizza at their restaurant was good in the evening. It would have been nice for the continental breakfast to start at 6am like other places we've stayed, by 7am we were already out and about heading for hiking areas.

Our little cabin exceeded our expectations. Everything was practically brand new and well thought out for our comfort. The sheets were really nice and there were plenty of supplies for use of the kitchen. Complimentary continental breakfast was a nice surprise. Staff was super friendly. Lots of nice touches like an oil diffuser and keurig machine in the cabin. And the drive to West Yellowstone was not bad at all.

Little tiny cabin. Clean and cozy. The internet is a bit slow and unstable but it’s okay. It is a bit small, not enough room for large luggage and the car isn’t able to park upfront, it is a bit inconvenient.

The pizzeria was a 10/10! We stayed in a very small lodge, it was quite tiny and quaint. It worked for our short visit but there wasn’t anywhere to store our belongings during our stay. The toilet was also in the shower so there’s no privacy as an FYI for other people choosing the small cabins. We also were made aware that the walk in special rate was a significant amount lower than we paid on Expedia. But overall, very clean and quiet. We would stay again, but definitely would have upgraded to a bigger space
