10/10 Exceptional

Family owned lodge that shows! We stayed in the lodge and it was so nice. I loved the set up, the deck overlooking the premises (wrap around) and the vaulted ceilings. It was so quiet too. We never heard any of the other guests. The ice machine came in handy, the complimentary snack bags were life saving before hiking and site seeing. Highly recommend!

A great place to stay. Unique property, right by many activities. Board games were available, the area outside the room was amazing, very clean room and buildings. One of my favorite places I’ve stayed.

Daniel Arthur, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

The room was new and quite nice. When we arrived on the property, it looked old and dirty from the rafting company attached. We were pleasantly surprised by the nice amenities and updated rooms. We stayed in the main lodge which had nice common areas. I would definitely stay here again. Also I would try their rafting service because it would be very convenient not having to drive to another location

10/10 Exceptional

Our room was in a new lodge with all the amenities you could want. The communication and follow up by the staff was excellent. I particularly enjoyed the meticulous details applied to our stay highly recommended.
Tim, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

We had the king room without bunks. It was spacious and well decorated. The bathroom was bigger than our room at Yellowstone. Everything worked great, AC, hot water and mini fridge. We appreciated the grab and go breakfast. We will definitely stay there again.

10/10 Exceptional

The Inn was best property on week long MT journey - roomy & comfortable with understated upscaleness .We had also booked raft trip and they accommodated request for slightly early checking upon return from river. Good suggestions on other hikes outside of GNP. Standout as definitely would rebook with GN on next opportunity.

werner, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Just Okay

The location is nice. Only about two miles from the park entrance. It is right on the main highway though so the traffic is loud night and day. We stayed in the moose cabin. The size was good, but the amenities were poor. Not many cooking utensils or pots. The carpet has to go. It’s not in good condition and it kind of brings down the overall quality of the place. Staff was super nice, but manager/owner seemed annoyed in the two instances she was in the store while I was in there. Not a bad stay, but if probably look for somewhere else to stay if I go back.
Rachel, 4-night trip

2/10 Poor

Horrible! Loud wedding party staying within the same lodge. Party music on the grounds well past 10pm with wedding party the entering the lodge laughing, yelling partying well into the morning. Front desk staff were very dismissive of our concerns upon checking in. The second night no wedding party but other guests were in the main area yelling at each other past midnight. It was a mess. We left a night early. We were exhausted with little sleep getting up by 4:30am each day to make it into the Park before 6am. Not relaxing or quiet. Be prepared to be inundated with fruit flies as well. They have a lovely fly trap hanging in the bathroom. FULL of flies, one would question its usefulness at this point. I also received a phone call asking where the master key was, as it was provided to me when we locked ourselves out of the room. I returned it to the same girl I received it from. Key misplacement by staff to then be called by the owner asking for it. Perfect end to our stay there and sums up the lack of organization and consideration of ‘guests’. I do not recommend - find another place to stay.
