I don't know what the smell was from, but it smelled like sour milk or stagnant water? We also had no hot water to take a shower.

What a gem. I met the owner Brandon, in Red Lodge while on a road trip heading to Yellowstone and…read moredidn't even know Cooke City existed. Brandon encouraged me to stop by on my way the next day and stay a night, and I ended up staying for several. I was slightly skeptical of the town at first having never been here before; but, once I pulled in, I was blown away by the beauty and ambiance; not only of the town, but the landscape as it's nestled in a small valley between 2 mountains. I had just spent the previous 5hrs driving Bear-Tooth Pass from Red Lodge which is normally a 3hr drive. It was such a breathtaking scenic pass that it took me 5hrs with all the stops I made for pictures. Bear Tooth Pass ends in Cooke City, and is only about 3mi outside the NE entrance of Yellowstone. High Country Motel offers quick easy access to Lamar valley. It is not far from Lamar's rolling pastures filled with immense herds of buffalo and high mountain peaks where Mt. Goats can be seen grazing mountain meadows, you'll need binoculars to see them, as they are quite high. The cabins are clean with a full kitchen. The town is super cool and quaint, with an old-world vibe and architecture. It is a VERY small historic town, with just a couple gas stations, a few restaurants, bars, shops, and a general store, but has everything you need. You can walk to everything the town has to offer from HCM. There is also a gift shop on site in the HCM office where you can purchase cold craft beers, sodas, energy drinks, water, snacks, and souvenirs. I still wear my HCMCC flat-bill hat every day. The views from my cabin were remarkable, Brandon and his staff were exceptionally kind and fun people. Highly recommend staying here for your Yellowstone vacation, it is super convenient to explore and access the park from High County Motel.

If you're a candy ass, keep moving. If you're keeping expectation realistic, you're gonna be just fine. We arrived at Big Moose and we greeted my Mo and Jo, the resident Corgis. Super friendly dogs that are just happy as pie to be there. Terri stepped out and showed us to our room. We had single room with a decent size shower and a decent size bed. As we were going to be there a week, we wanted a room with a kitchenette, but for the first two days we could only have a room without one. That's cool, and we're happy because... #1...we're cool. We understand that the world doesn't revolve around us. #2...Terri is doing what she can to make everyone happy. Day #2 arrived and we hit the road. When we came back, Terri let us know that the kitchenette room was available and we could have it if we wanted it! Heck yeah, we moved our stuff and made it a nice evening. Our kitchenette room was #4. Yes, the shower is tiny. Yes, the toilet is loose and feels like you're on a roller coaster. Terri pointed that out so we knew what to expect. The kitchenette is small, but it's got a 4 burner and an oven. Perfect for a quick meal. If you're going to be cooking Thanksgiving dinner, you're gonna have a hard time. If you're there on Thanksgiving and not with your family, maybe you've made some questionable decisions and shouldn't be reading this, you should be doing some self examination. We really enjoyed our stay. We got to chat with a few of the other guests and got some great tips on the park. All in all, it was a great time. Also, the hot tub and a cold beer is a beautiful thing, especially in a rainy evening. One thing to note. As you're in the north gate area, it's much smaller, but it's really close to Lamar Valley which is where a lot of the animal action is. We loved that part. We saw foxes, black bears, bison, moose, elk, dear, mountain goats, grizzly's all within 90 minutes of being in the park. BUT if you're expecting to be seeing geysers within 30 minutes, you're going to be disappointed. The geysers and such are all a looooong drive. Expect 3 hours or so each way. Enjoy your stay, temper your expectations and your gonna be fine. And say hi to Terri for us, she's a super nice lady.

We drover around the cluttered property and finally found a residence with a red door. I knocked and no one answered. We drove around again and a lady flagged us down and said, "didn't you read the sign to knock on the red door"? I told her I did. She replied not that red door, that is the garage door. Well, how dI'd I know? She pointed toward a dilapidated cabin that looked like something a vagrant had occupied. She let us in. The temperature was 62 in the cabin and was freezing. Especially wnith it snowing outside (in June I might add). I immediately walked over to the thermostat and proceeded to turn it up. She says, "don't turn it up, you will waste my propane "! What? I'm paying over $300 for this dump and you are telling me not to turn the thermostat up. Now, to tell you about the inside. The furniture looked like something picked up from a trash pile. Same for the refrigerator. Old and dirty and beat up. I don't think that there is enough space here to describe how bad the cabinets, stove, and dishes looked. Not to mention the fact that the cabin was a complete safety hazard. If you are a contractor you will understand the term "rough in". Wires and receptacles exposed. Now to the cleanliness, or lack of, in the cabin. Well, I guess I really don't need to address that with what I have commented on already.
