Stayed at 2 Bears for 2 nights in September 2023 when I came into Red Lodge without a plan about…read more3-4 o'clock on a Friday afternoon and decided to rest for the night. Every place I called in town was booked and I ended up finding a vacancy here. I had never been here before, and let me tell you, I'm glad everything in town was booked, as I might not have had this experience. It was so nice I ended up staying a second night.
It's a gem, especially if you're looking to see Bear-tooth pass on your way to Yellowstone. The scenic pass begins just a few miles down the road. It's approximately 3-4hrs over the pass to the next town and the NE entrance to Yellowstone; but, the Pass took me about 5hrs with all the stops I made for pictures. 2 bears is a great spot to rest before making that final push into Yellowstone. Nestled on the side of a mountain up a long winding gravel driveway, it's private, yet, very close to town; which, Red Lodge, is fun, quaint, unique, classy, clean and has some excellent restaurants and shopping as well as fun night-life. Bear Tooth Pass is breathtaking. The breakfasts served are diverse, scratch made, unique, delicious, and the best I've had in the country. Barb makes sure to ask what allergies you might have, what kind of dishes you like, and she always adds her own twist. You won't leave hungry, or disappointed, as the breakfast is comparable to something you'd find in a lavish restaurant. The ambiance is exactly what you'd expect for a cozy mountain retreat that feels like family and home. There are numerous private cabins; as well as, rooms in the lower level of the main cabin. I stayed in the lower level of the main cabin and the bed was so comfortable, the bathroom was large and the tub was large enough for a 6'2 man to soak. The rooms, baths, linens, and cabins are well decorated, high quality, and exceptionally clean. Highly recommend
