But, they've lost the hospitality. To whit: I talked with Amy and Phil (and it's in that order) over the phone several times, so I was looking forward to meeting them in person. I've stayed there over 300 days and it's kinda like a second home to me. So imagine when I pull up at 1 o'clock, say "hello I'm Bill", and the only thing I get in return from Amy is "you can't check in until 3". Yeah, nice to meet you too. The entire time there I felt like they were looking at me and my friends like guys who were trying to cheat them. The locals say the same thing about them. So, I'll be staying somewhere else from now on and remember fondly the good old days at Cottonwood Camp.

I had the pleasure of receiving the best during our week long stay at the Big Horn Valley Ranch…read more As part of a group of 8 very experienced fly fishers, we had a complete blast during our stay. We booked the all-inclusive fly fishing package and they took care of us very well. We each had our very own cabin, which were artfully decorated, very spacious and the beds transported us into dreams of catching bigger fish. I soon became very spoiled with the great tasting meals from the restaurant on property. Each day began with a full and hearty breakfast. They never repeated the same meal during our week long stay. After breakfast, the guides would pick us up in front. Renting a car was not necessary. The guides were very knowledgeable and only used flies which were working. They had us on fish the whole day. Lunch on the river was a fun time as all 8 of us ate together and shared stories of the morning. The afternoons became hopper time, hooking big browns alongside of the banks. We caught many 20 + inch trout! Dinners were so good, I ate everything they put in front of me. This scenario repeated for 5 days in a row. The servers were very attentive and I couldn't say no to the outstanding desserts. Also on property was a fully stocked fly shop. You couldn't ask for more. I would highly recommend the Big Horn Valley Ranch if you're with a big group or going solo. You will be treated very well. I look forward to a return trip to be with my second family.

The Bed Bug Inn Beware Room #113!…read moreSince I travel extensively, I check all rooms I stay in very carefully. I was quick to find bedbugs at Room #113 bed's headboard. The bedbugs I saw all seemed to be dead, but they were interspersed between the mattress, box spring, sheets and across the headboard-side floor. As if custodial staff not cleaning up the dead bedbugs was bad enough, bedbug powder - a powerful insecticide - was all over the place, maybe 16 - 20 inches from where we place our heads during sleep. We immediately requested another room (nearby inns and motels were full) from the lady at the front desk. Additionally, she took images with her cell phone of the bedbugs and powder I found. The inn upgraded us to a room with a bed of a different design, sort of a cradled frame. We saw no bugs. Later the next day, we saw indications that the staff must have merely moved the bed in #113 back into position, and rented the room out to another, unsuspecting guest. We will never stay here again.

The Wyoming High Country Lodge is a very special place. Not only are its surroundings beautiful,…read morebut the folks who run the lodge are extremely kind and helpful, and the food is consistently excellent. The rooms in the lodge are clean and cozy, there are many spots around for lounging and socializing, and there's no better way to end the day than with a hot drink by the fire in the dining room (okay, except for maybe the hot tub, which is open 24/7). Snowmobiles are available for rental on a daily or half-day basis, which allowed us to venture out further than we could've on foot. The lodge also has snowshoes to borrow to trek around, which were very useful after all the powder the area got during the week we were there. I'd love to return again with friends or family to share this remote gem.

As you drive in and see the grounds covered in flowers and grassy areas, you immediately know that the place is well cared for. The room was spacious (for a motel), the shower and bathroom were clean and well maintained. We loved it! If there is anything semi-negative to say, there is not always someone at the "front desk," but there is a phone number you can call if no one is there. That said, the front desk is in a lobby which is locked if someone is not at the desk. That means no access to ice if you needed it. We would definitely stay again and would recommend it to anyone.

Doors DO open directly to outside, but that's not something that bothers me. In general, highly recommend. If you (like me) are sick of soulless hotel chains, give this place a try.

Locally owned with creative touches! Can't miss this one!…read more From the outside, it looks like an unassuming little motel... but once you step through the doors, a magical experience awaits. Transformed by Bobby's special touches, the place just makes you feel right at home. From the cute little check in desk filled with adorable crafts, personally made shirts, mugs, and well stocked breakfast corner, to the soft bed linens, even the two different types of pillow (one hard for leaning against and once soft for sleeping)... everything seems to have been thoughtfully placed. Even the free coffee and pastries we delicious!!! Then there's the cute garden in front with fresh herbs and tomatoes and fire pit and gazebo... it was all too cute! Best of all was spending the time talking to Bobby and her staff. They were super friendly and helpful. We can't wait to come back! The location is great! Awesome Bighorn park only 15 mins away.

Horseshoe Bend Motel is a nice, non-chain place that has the quirky charm of an old school hotel…read morecommon in small communities. The front desk staff is small town friendly. It's well-maintained, has modern conveniences: a small refrigerator, microwave, coffee maker, smart tv, and wi-fi that works well. There was an old fashioned looking radio to keep with the theme, but it also had blue tooth for a nod to the modern. The bed is comfortable but the pillows were a little weird: two were standard soft and two were heavy and filled with something that made them good for sitting up in bed but not for sleeping. Maybe that was the point because this room did not have a chair. The bathroom was separated from the room by a barn door that saved space although the bathroom was roomy enough. Horseshoe also provided a separate set of towels in all sizes for cleaning shoes, wiping off mud, or dealing with general messes. This was much better than those small disposable squares. There's only real keys for entry into rooms, with a big metal key chain attached, so it's unlikely to get lost. It's a nice break from the plastic cards used in modern hotels, but doesn't fit into the pocket as easily. Numbered parking for the room is right outside your door, sort of, but I'm not sure anyone was paying attention to matching room number with parking spot but you'll be reasonably close.
