For context, this was a family trip with my wife and two teenaged kids that took us through Montana, Idaho and Yellowstone National Park. This was our first time through these states and in this area. The cabins themselves are absolutely perfect for a family our size. Even though our kids are quite tall, they both loved the upper bunk area to sleep in. Everything was super clean and the cabins had a wonderful eucalyptus smell running through an oil diffuser when we arrived. There was tons of storage space in the kitchen and all dishes/pans/utensils were provided. They even had salt and pepper as well as vegetable oil to use for cooking. The area is beautiful and along the main highway through the area. The cabin we had been allocated was further away from the roadway and we were not impacted by the traffic. On site is a small pizza place that was some of the best pizza we've ever had. It was a great hub for our activities in the area over the three days we stayed and we will certainly be back.

We were in the small cabin. It is very small, but perfect if you just need a place to sleep. Check in and check out were all done via text. Very easy and convenient!

Very clean and modern, but “mountain man” chalet was not convenient for staying more than a day. E.g. no table or surface to prepare food, play a game. Would recommend for 1 night, but not longer.

The rooms are like tiny houses very compact, but have a fridge and a microwave. A big shower a very comfy bed high ceilings lots of windows. The bed was very comfortable around our limited but the on-site pizza is excellent. Check and check out or done electronically. there are no keys to lose, which I like lots of plug-ins USB ports The only drawback was someone was smoking weed outside, and it was blowing into my unit, not a fan

I loved staying here. It was so compact but had everything we wanted (except for a water cup to brush my teeth with). It was clean tidy and easy. I'd definitely recommend this property again.

We loved everything about the resort. The only issue we had was with the laundry mat. The washers over soaked our clothing and I had to pay twice for the dryers to make sure our clothing would be dry. Our clothing never got fully dry.

Overall a great place to stay. New, clean, lots of thoughtful touches to make it comfortable. We rented both the larger cabin with loft and kitchen, and the smaller with just a queen-sized bed. Loved the larger but I wouldn’t stay in the smaller again because of the shower/toilet setup. Once we showered, we had to wade through a puddle to get to the toilet which was a challenge in the middle of the night.

Great Stay!
Great, clean and comfortable little cabin. The only thing that could be different is the AC (window unit) set up. If you want to use the AC, you can only close the blinds half way. This forces you to fill the gap with anything to keep privacy, since the windows are in view of other units.
