This building seems to be newly renovated with bright rooms and modern bathrooms. The breakfast was not great but better than nothing considering it was included and very convenient. Probably not ok for people with food allergies, because the buffet had foods mixed in the various bins. The bed was firm and comfortable, but we hated the paper-thin pillows. The air conditioner was very noisy, going off and on all night. Occasionally, it made another whiny noise on top of the regular cycling. Sleeping did not go well. The room didn't have a desk to use our laptops. That's unusual these days. Even the lodges in the park had desks.

The room was spacious, having a side table for us to spread out. Beds were very comfortable. The restaurant where the breakfast was served was a cozy room with a nice Western vibe. Good country music played in the background. Breakfast was your basic kind of hotel food-I did like the variety of cold items like the yogurt selection and the cereal selection. The lobby served coffee, hot apple cider, and hot cocoa with marshmallows which was nice after our long tour of Yellowstone National Park. The lobby of the hotel was nicely decorated for the Fall with a beautiful Fall themed Christmas Tree. The pool and hot tub were nice and spacious and they had a water slide which was fast, but fun. A plus was it was located in the end of town so it was nice and quiet. Quick 5-7 minute walk to the center of town. Only minor dislikes were the shower where there were no grab bars and that the TV didn't work so well. Someone came in to fix it though. The tub also clogged with water during showers. Would recommend! Thank you for a great stay!

We didn't use the pool (outdoor) or hot tub, but they looked nice. We paid about $170 per night not including taxes. They have RV parking. The last two nights, it seemed that a lot of the hot water ran out from others utilizing the shower next door at the same time. 2023 #51

Highly recommended as it came with our room. The room was clean, decorated, the beds were comfortable, and the air conditioning was excellent. The TV had a wide selection of channels, and it all worked correctly and was clean. Yes, this hotel may be costing just a little bit more. Since we will know, most likely not be back to Yellowstone I will tell you the truth in stating that they are under pricing their rooms at this place . They should be asking $100 more a night. Conservative estimate of everything that I've seen throughout all different hotel states and areas. They need to up their rates because they are actually too low by at least 20 to 40%. When we have breakfast, we watched a head, waiter training, a newer waiter. I was actually watching in a managerial way to see if he was following the correct way to train new employees. He was perfect and followed every single cell. They were polite, respectful, and their jobs extremely well. We really appreciated that Highly recommend

My nephew and I had a great stay at Explorer Cabins in West Yellowstone and would happily stay…read morethere again. The cabins were comfortable in size, extremely clean, and very well set up for a Yellowstone trip. The kitchenette was especially useful for us, and having a dishwasher was a great bonus. The location really could not be beat -- it was very close to the West Yellowstone entrance, which helped us avoid a lot of traffic and made it easy to structure our days in the park. We were able to see the upper part of Yellowstone one day, the lower part another day, and then use the rest of our time to revisit and explore the places we wanted to see more deeply. The staff were also extremely friendly and helpful, which added to the overall experience. Another nice touch was the fire pits, which they turned on around 5 p.m. each evening. It was a fun and relaxed way to meet some of the other people staying at the cabins. Overall, we were very happy with our stay. Comfortable cabins, a great location, friendly staff, and a really enjoyable atmosphere. Highly recommended.

Explorer Cabins ended up being an excellent home base for our family's five-night Yellowstone trip…read more While they aren't luxury cabins and won't be mistaken for a boutique mountain resort, they do a remarkable job of balancing privacy, convenience, and access to amenities in a way that works particularly well for families. The biggest surprise for us was how intimate the property feels. Although the cabins are nestled between two hotels, thoughtful landscaping, mature pines, and the positioning of the cabins along small side streets create an atmosphere that feels much closer to being inside Yellowstone than staying in a traditional roadside hotel. Most cabin clusters consist of only a handful of units and feature shared hammocks and a communal fire pit, which made for pleasant evenings after long days exploring the park. The cabins themselves are comfortable and functional. They aren't outfitted with particularly premium finishes, nor are they especially modern, but they are well laid out and seem designed with practicality in mind. Housekeeping arrived fairly early during our stay, but we never found it intrusive. Small touches such as complimentary bottled water in the cabin, s'mores packages available for purchase, and fresh cookies at the nearby Gray Wolf Inn front desk in the early evening add a bit of fun to the experience. One of the more underrated benefits is access to the amenities at the neighboring Gray Wolf Inn & Suites. Explorer Cabin guests can use the indoor pool and laundry facilities, allowing you to enjoy some traditional hotel conveniences while maintaining the feel of staying in a small cabin community. Location is another major strength if you are staying in West Yellowstone (you still cannot beat inside Yellowstone itself for easy access). Parking was plentiful both in designated lots and along the streets within the property, and once parked, we found ourselves walking almost everywhere. McDonald's is less than a two-minute walk away, while Book Peddler, West Yellowstone Brewing, Mountain Mama's Coffee, Wild West Pizzeria, and the Grizzly & Wolf Discovery Center are all within an easy five-minute stroll. For those entering Yellowstone early in the morning, the cabin location also provides a modest advantage by allowing a relatively easy right turn toward the West Entrance, avoiding some of the traffic that can build coming into town from the highway on busy summer days. Final Thoughts: Explorer Cabins may not offer the luxury finishes of a high-end mountain lodge, but they succeed at something arguably more important for many Yellowstone visitors: creating a comfortable, family-friendly base camp that feels a little more immersive and a little less commercial than many lodging options in West Yellowstone. We'd happily stay here again and would especially recommend them to families looking for a balance of privacy, amenities, walkability, and easy park access. -AC

We stayed in Gallatin for 4 nights. We were with two other families. When booking this house I was…read morea bit skeptical that it would not be sufficient for 8 people but we were pleasantly surprised it was good for 10 people. We had one outside bed in lower living room and needed an extra bed for my son. The staff was extremely friendly and helped us with a small foldable foam bed. House was well maintained and we had no complaints. One small suggestion would be if they could put out a garbage disposable outside or behind the house that can be easily identifiable. We initially struggled a bit to spot the garbage disposal box.

We had plenty of room for everyone. Of the 8 bedrooms, 6 have king size beds, and two of them have private full baths. There are 3 additional full baths for the others. The cabin itself is pretty new, so everything was clean and in working order. The location is very close to the west entrance to the park, and is convenient to downtown shops and restaurants. The kitchen had plenty of plates, silverware, pots and pans, etc. I was especially impressed with the quality of the pots and pans, very nice for a rental. The cabin also has a full sized washer and dryer, which was very convenient. The WIFI was available, but I have to say it is not very fast. Considering the location, this was not too surprising. There were no problems with billing, or unexpected charges. Overall a great choice for a large party, I highly recommend this location!

They checked in with us daily to see if we needed anything, which was a thoughtful touch and greatly appreciated. One of my favorite amenities was the tea and coffee station in the lobby--perfect for starting the morning. There was also a freezer stocked with ice cream sandwiches and popsicles, which was a fun and unexpected treat. The room was comfortable and exactly what we needed. We spent most of our time exploring the area and were mainly there to sleep, but it was a great place to come back to each night. The location is excellent, just minutes from Yellowstone's west entrance, making it very convenient for visiting the park. If you're planning to run the Yellowstone Half Marathon hosted by Vacation Races, this hotel is an especially great choice since it's within walking distance of the start line. I would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting Yellowstone.
