A unique stay. Decided we’re not the roughing it types. May be. Better stay in warmer weather when you don’t have to use the wood stove. Everything smells like burning wood after sitting at the campfire and staying in our tent. Montana Jim did an excellent job of checking us in and explaining all the features. The best part for us was meeting people at the campfire at night. Music was also great. For people who love to camp this would be an excellent choice although a bit pricey.
Our receptionist was super nice and explained things well. It was dark when we arrived and we had a hard time finding the parking area as it is not lighted. Once we found it, we tried 3 different pathways to find out tent before we found the right one. Again, no lights. The signs are also not at the beginning of the trails, you have to walk 25-30 feet before you find a sign in the dark. Finding the bathroom tent in the dark was impossible. The tent itself was cute and cozy. The area around it was unkempt with weeds; basically a bunch of tents in a farmers field. Definitely not the charming experience I hoped for, considering the price.
Wonderful place to stay outside of West Yellowstone. They've thought of everything, and I mean EVERYTHING. My only suggestion is to make the introduction to the property a little more succinct. Im assuming that some of the clients struggle with turning the lantern on/off etc, but not everyone. Perhaps ask if the guests have camping experience? If not, then the whole speech will probably be helpful. Overall though, it was a really cool place to stay. I will stay again!
