Chico Hot Springs was a highlight of our nine-day, four-state road trip through Idaho, Utah,…read moreWyoming, and Montana...and there were a LOT of highlights. Originally booked as a single night, post-Yellowstone reprieve (I mean, looking at hot springs all day long makes you want to soak in one, right?!), we ended up extending our stay another day, because of how much we all (my wife and I, plus our two toddler tons) loved this place! The hot springs alone is worth the price of admission: two pools, one smaller and warmer, the other larger and cooler (but still warm enough that there is no temperature shock when shifting between them), with a poolside bar window where you can order cocktails from the attached saloon...that's pretty hard to beat! There's also an attached restaurant, but we didn't get a chance to check it out, as it was closed by the time we returned to the hotel both nights. There's also the aforementioned saloon, which is open until 11-ish every night (basically, until everyone staggers out), with a wonderful, conversational bartender, Kelby, who was warm, welcoming and engaging: a true gem in an already glittering establishment. He also pointed out their absolutely ABSURD wine selection, indicating the presence of a fabulously stocked wine vault somewhere on site, for those with expensive tastes (not me; I'll stick to my whiskey!). Rooms are rustic, but comfortable, including the beds. We stayed our first night in a private cabin up on the hill, with two small bedrooms (queen beds in each) and a bathroom. Our second night, all the cabins were filled, so we ended up in a room in the main lodge, on the second floor, which had its own aesthetic perks, as the whole building feels like an inn from a previous century (which, technically, I guess it is...but it feels even older than that, in all the good ways). It's probably also haunted. We hope it is, anyway! Beyond all these incredible features I've mentioned, there's actually many, many more: an on-site gift shop / café, open from 7:00 AM to 4:00 PM every day; there's a day spa up on the hill; you can book horseback rides from the stable near the gift shop; there's a playground for the littles behind the private garden, which appears to be tended by the James Beard award-winning chefs that make the fantastic dining hall an excellent choice for either breakfast/brunch (a buffet at $22/person, and absolutely worth it), or a truly incredible fine dining service in the evening. All those things, and I'm sure I'm probably forgetting or overlooked something. In short, Chico Hot Springs has something for everyone, young or old, rustic or extravagant: our little sons LOVED the hot springs (as did we, of course), but there's so much more to love here, that it has made a lasting impression on us all. Montana has never had much of a draw for city-slickers like my wife and I, but after our stay here, our ignorance has been thoroughly rectified. VERY recommended.

Once we were seated, the atmosphere was great and our server was friendly and attentive. The food was good, although it arrived a little lukewarm.

Well, this was a bust! We go out of our way to visit this bakery. Food is always worth the stop…read more However, this morning was so very disappointing. We walk in and there are 3 molasses ginger cookies in the display. Yes! You read that correctly. Nothing else! 10:30 AM and that was it! Nothing coming out of the ovens. Oh! It gets better! The only other choice was a brisket burrito. Granted the burrito is tasty, but they were out of the sausage biscuit and the veggie burrito. I wasn't surprised by the veggie burrito being sold out as it is very popular and it was 10:30. It is usually gone by then. But for the pastry case to be empty at 10:30 with no plans to restock it. Wow! I was so looking forward to the spinach/artichoke and fruit bars. I always buy extra to put in the freezer, because like I said we go out of our way to stop here. Might as well close the doors now. Why wait until 2:00? Having owned a bakery I just don't get it. Not good business. New rule: call before we make the drive from Gardiner!

Outside of the $400 bespoke omakase sushi we had in SLC, the food here at Follow Yer Nose came in second...and only just barely! A friend of mine noticed on social media that we were staying in the (very) near vicinity (practically across the street), and insisted we give this place a shot. I haven't seen him in person for several years, but apparently, he is a VERY good friend, because...whoo-wee! Fantastic pulled pork, sausages, and sides, all liberally soaked in various flavors of in-house BBQ sauces that I desperately tried to find bottles of to purchase and take back home with me. Sadly, that wasn't an option at the time, which means that my wife and I will be regularly courting the idea of a 12-hour drive to return here. Get here early, queue up, order what you will from the (rapidly diminishing) board behind the counter, and you'll be served some of the best brisket you've ever had, practically before you've had a chance to snag a table and sit down! Prices are excellent for the portion size and quantity, although we ended up ordering a bit extra, to tide us over on the long drive home (spoiler alert: it didn't survive the journey; it was long gone before then!).
