Yellowstone Trip
Loved all the bunkhouse decor. Beautiful view and quiet.
Very cozy place with very rustic decor that goes well with its surroundings. Less than 10mins away from West Yellowstone town where you can get all your essentials. Kitchen was small with very limited counter space if you plan on doing some serious cooking. Beds and linens were very clean and comfortable. Bedroom windows provide excellent early morning views. Overall very satisfied and will definitely check this property on our next trip to Yellowstone.
Beautiful place to stay for a Yellowstone vacation. Cleanliness and houseware supplies were exceptional. We enjoyed our stay and hope to reserve a time again in the Bunkhouse.

We are so glad you chose to come and stay with us. Please consider us again in the future. Have a safe trip!
Warm regards,
Sweet Home Montana
Arrived when outside temperature was 43, inside was at 61, the cabin was cold and we could not regulate the heat. The temperature was too cold to be comfortable in the living room and to hot sleep upstairs. Because we were informed in manual to heat the home by gas logs to get to desired temperature. Guest does not have control of the thermostat. The coffee bar was disappointing too, like the sugar jar was empty, no creamer, it just consist of coffee / filters. This is a nice rental but the thermostat glitch that disrupted our entire stay. I contacted host with no response.

Liked: Check-in, communication, listing accuracy
Disliked: Location
Okay, not great for families with small children
Checked in and the house was very cold. Found the thermostat behind a lockbox, which set the tone for the visit. Called the management company and was told the gas fireplace would be adequate heat. It was not, especially for our young children. We alternated from sweating (fire on) to freezing (fire off).
Kitchen is very small, although you can see that in the pictures. No garbage disposal and the garbage can is difficult to access.
We ended up leaving two nights early because Yellowstone closed (flooding) and we were uncomfortable. Had the place been more comfortable, perhaps we would have stayed.
Overall, this place is probably better in warmer weather or if you don't have kids who get cold at night.
Great place to stay so close to Yellowstone but outside of the hustle and bustle of the town. The pictures are very accurate. Very nice quaint and cozy place. The gas fireplace was very warm and great to sit around. Less than 10 minutes from town snowmobile trails are right outside the door. The property manager was very nice, responsive and communicated great. We will definitely be back!
Love the bunkhouse! It was so wonderfully made with repurposed, reused materials. Such great decorations and the bunkhouse has everything you would need to make any meal! We so loved coming back after our time in Yellowstone snd sitting in front of the fire talking about our day and planning the next. We will be sure to tell our friends about this wonderful
Place!
We had a great time at this property, and it was a great place to come back to after our Yellowstone adventures. Check in was easy, and the place was clean and comfortable. Will definitely be staying here on our future travels to Yellowstone!
Great location about 10 min from the town of West Yellowstone and the entrance to the National Park. The place accommodated our large family of seven. Very clean and well stocked with everything needed to do meals with all the kids. Overall a great experience!
This property was absolutely wonderful! It was exquisitely decorated and furnished with everything we needed. The location was perfect for snowmobiling with close access to trails. The property manager was very responsive and helpful with any questions we had. We'll definitely stay at this property again the next time we visit West Yellowstone. Thanks again for an amazing stay!
