Overpriced for the small cabin without a bathroom

Although the resort is nice and clean, we found the cabin without the bathroom to be quite small and overpriced. It was quite inconvenient to have to get up and walk a few hundred feet to a bathroom. Found the bathrooms to be quite dirty at times, and often locked-up with no one in them. It is not because you are a 40 min drive from Yellowstone NP that you should be unreasonable with your price.

The cabin was properly organized for a family stay. We were 3 adults and 2 children ages 15 and 5. The spruce cabin was sufficient for 5 persons stay. The customer service was also excellent.

Great place to stay

Such a great place to stay with family. Staff was very nice and accommodating. The drive into Yellowstone was easy from the resort only takes about 30 minutes. They even do s’mores for you the first night you get in so the kids will like it there. The loft we had in our cabin was great the kids felt like they had there own hide away. If and when we get back out this way we will be staying here again.

Must stay

If you are in the area, don’t miss this resort! Great place to stay, different cabin styles, so make sure you know what are you booking. Common areas well kept and beautiful. Cabin (Willow) with fully stocked kitchen! Spotless and comfy. Good pizza place on site. Around 40 min drive to west entry of Yellowstone National Park. Sauna and cold plunge included in your stay. If I could give more stars, I would. Highly recommend!

Spruce cabins are excellent at the price for their spaciousness and amenities. Points taken off for poor sound insulation - cabins adjacent to highway gets really loud when trucks pass by, and poor WiFi quality in an area with already poor cellular coverage.
