Close to Yellowstone
Choices are very limited in West Yellowstone. I chose The Bucking Moose so my family could all be together in one cabin as opposed to two rooms. It was fine - a little snug, ceilings are low and lighting is poor. It could use a bit of a refresh. It was clean though and the staff ( not on site) was very communicative. It was walking distance to food and stores and close to the park.

The property was dirty, smelly and filthy. The price we paid demands higher standard. The stay was unhealthy and disappointing. Basically a rip off.

Cute cabin
No check in office. They sent the pass code to the room door at 3pm to my email. I had no internet service so I couldn't get the code and get into the room. Luckily I was able to phone and get the code. Nice little place but advertised a king bed. It was a queen at best, maybe even a double bed. Not a king. Also toilet gurgled. But it was a cute place to spend the night.

Older style motel. They have done work to modernize and update. Kinda noisy. Our room was very small with a tiny bathroom. very close to most restaurants, easy walking distance. About a 5 minute drive to the west entrance of Yellowstone NP.

Be aware that the Wolf Suite #1 that there is a Loft that is above you. Unfortunately you can hear everything the tenant is doing above you, like going to the bathroom and simple moving around. It is also right next to one of the main roads through West Yellowstone so we had that noise as well. We were unaware the loft would be above and we are very light sleepers and did not get any sleep our first night there. I emailed management asking if there was any way to move to a stand alone cabin for the next night if one is not booked and they so graciously let us switch to a cabin. We were so thankful for their responsiveness and willingness to help us out. I would definitely stay here again, now knowing which cabins to book.

The Bucking Moose is a sweet little place. Right off the main drag in West Yellowstone, it’s minutes from the park entrance, the grocery store, and restaurants… and clean, comfortable, well-appointed and safe. And our hosts were great communicators - both proactive and responsive to my questions. Thanks!

The property served its purpose. We could walk to eat our meals. Close to come/go into the park. But Moose Cabin 14 was right next to the road. We heard noisey semis all night long. Didn’t get much sleep.

We got unit #1 and no where in the room’s info did it mention it was a two story building, it was advertised as a cabin and unit #1 it’s definitely not a cabin looking space, second floor was super noisy, since place its older. Website shows mainly pictures of the standing alone cabins and show a cooking stove, but there is not cooking stove in the unit we got. Management was not friendly. Unit is right by the busy street so was also very noise all night.
