River Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"The room was very cute. The bed was comfortable and there were a lot of pillows which i loved. The gas station/convenience store .1 miles away had great smash burgers and fries at a reasonable price. There appeared to be several restaurants nearby. Check in is done via text. We were coming from Yellowstone with 0 service. Had to borrow wifi from a hotel in West Yellowstone. Other than that, everything was great."

Canyon Lodge & Cabins - Inside the Park

10/10 Excellent

"Canyon Lodge is centrally located to the upper and lower loop drives of Yellowstone. The rooms are clean. The staff were excellent. They responded to every request I made with a courteous and professional attitude. I’d strongly recommend staying booking a room 3-6 months in advanced. Since it’s a desirable place to stay rooms get booked quickly."
