Opted for dry cabin so my son could have his own bed, they alllowed for 1hr early checkin but not before even though unit was already clean, my son & I used communal bathrooms that were clean, my husband found one that the toilet didn’t flush & smelled bad. There are four to use. Shower this morning had enough hot water for all of us & were supplied shampoo/cond/body wash & 2 towels/hand towels. Beds were super comfy in room, reading lights above each bed, ac & heat worked sufficiently, mini fridge in room didn’t really keep items cold, only cool. Breakfast was bagels, toast, cereal, coffee, fruit & juice. Workers were out cleaning bathrooms in the morning & tending to breakfast area, which had inside & outside seating available. No pizza available as advertised, that part of restaurant is not open. Plenty of parking, laundry, sauna/cold plunge & rentals available for outdoor activities. Burn ban in effect so weren’t able to roast smores as advertised-overall fair price for paid-

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
