Yes. It's a rest stop. While the amenities you expect in a rest stop are rather ordinary here,…read moreit's the surroundings that should impress and make this stop stand out. I think it might be the only rest stop on this road between Gardiner (and Yellowstone Park) and Livingston. There are picnic tables that can give weary travelers a chance to take a break. There's even a fire hydrant in the dog "rest stop" so even your furry companion can have some relief. A nice feature of this rest stop is the short walking path that takes you down to the Yellowstone river, which is flowing pretty quickly in this area, and from where you can get a very impressive view of Emigrant Peak. Depending on the time of day, it'll be like existing in the middle of a postcard picture. Even if you don't need the break from driving, stop here anyway just to enjoy the view. And if you're southbound into the park, consider it a preview. If you're northbound from the park, experience it a post-script of what you left behind.

Scenic rest stop in Emigrant MT…read more I know a rest stop is usually not one of those one would review but this Emigrant Rest Area is worth noting. It is the most scenic one I've seen so far. Located on the east side of Highway 89 between Emigrant and Gardiner on the way to or from Yellowstone National Park. The roads are paved and the parking lot is level. The rest stop has clean restrooms and also has sectioned picnic tables in a nice roofed picnic area. They have a pet area too. The views are pretty and is located right along Yellowstone River. Saw some people fishing so you can do some fishing too while you are there! LoL There are slots for RV/trailer and truck parking. Open year round (some rest stops in MT are not). There is a historical marker on sight about the Absaroka-Beartooth Wilderness which is over a million acres of wilderness in a track of land covering portions of three states. Interesting read.

If you're stuck eating inside the park, this is probably one of the better meals you'll eat…read more The braised rib with root vegetables was prepared well and I was ultimately very satisfied with my meal. My husband's ribeye was okay, but the fries (half his plate) were garbage from a frozen bag, not real potatoes. And not what you'd expect on an over $50 plate. Here are some of the factors that made this a less than exceptional experience: -We made a reservation for 8:00, didn't get let in until 8:40. Lots of empty tables but tons of people waiting. -They sat us in the back portion of the dining room which is very lackluster and not the grand vibe or look you're expecting from the front. -Once seated, our waiter encouraged us to choose the buffet because the kitchen was running 40-50 minutes to cook food. -The buffet was a disaster of slim pickin leftovers that were very clearly sitting there since starting at 5pm. -Once we decided to order from the menu (though it took a loooong time to see our server again), it only took 10 mins or so to get our food, which showed they were unnecessarily pushing us to the buffet to reduce work and kill leftovers. Despite all the negative, our meal itself was okay and way better than the alternative which would have been cafeteria food.

Huge breasts that were so tender and breaded just right. The carrots and the corn bread were OUTSTANDING as were the brownies and cheese cake. The atmosphere was another highlight as well as the service. Our servers were VERY ATTENTIVE and kind. Yellowstone was slammed last week with more tourists than in previous years and yet the young men and women working were super. My highest compliments to all of you!

Overall a pleasant experience. The room looks and feels clean…read more Our building is couple minutes drive from the check in location and eatery. All good - no complains there. Parking space is limited so if you get back to the lodging later in the day, the parking spot could be farther away from the building. the main advantage of staying in the canyon lodge is that it is located in the middle of the park so going places is flexible and less travel time. We start sightseeing right when we came thru from the Gardiner park entrance and then make our way south to the lodging and checkin. Don't bet on getting good WIFi connections. In fact, during our stays their WIFI was down the entire time.

We got in our room after a full day in the park, the vanity sink water line had broken and water was pouring out into the wall and carpeted floor.

The bottom line is this place is a dump run by it appears family thats in it purely for the profit. We finally got another room but we had to beg to even get that far.

The view from our patio was grasslands. What a great place to sit in the evenings. The main lodge is a national landmark with 60 foot windows that provide spectacular views of the Grand Teton Mountains. Stunning - picturesque - beautiful. The reception staff were great - helpful, knowledgeable, friendly. Concierge service can make any activities arrangements you require. WiFi available in and near the lodge. There are a couple of negatives. Price. The place is expensive. Hello, you are in GRAND Tetons National Park - this is one of the few places to stay. So suck it up. Enjoy where you are and don't think about. Staying here is preferable to anything else outside. Shower head only allowed a what seemed to be a trickle of water. We still got a shower, but with low water pressure.

**Excellent Stay at Jackson Lake Lodge**…read more We had a wonderful stay at Jackson Lake Lodge and would definitely return. The room was comfortable and well-equipped, featuring very nice beds, a dresser, closet, mini-fridge, alarm clock, and the convenience of having both a sink in the bathroom and another in the main room. The nearby ice machine was an added bonus. The shower was excellent, with great water pressure and quality toiletries including shampoo and body wash. After long days exploring the park, it was the perfect place to relax and recharge. The lodge itself is stunning, with breathtaking views of the Tetons from many areas of the property. We enjoyed spending time at the onsite bar, where the **"399" cocktail, named after the famous Grizzly 399, was a fun and memorable touch that connected us to the area's wildlife history.** One of the best features of the lodge is its location. Several hiking trails begin right from the property, making it easy to step outside and enjoy the beauty of Grand Teton National Park without having to get back in the car. We also enjoyed the onsite dining options. The restaurant was excellent, with no waiting for a table during our stay. The dining room's layout was thoughtfully designed, allowing for attentive, efficient service and a relaxed atmosphere. Between the great food, outstanding views, and friendly service, dining at the lodge was one of the highlights of our visit. Overall, Jackson Lake Lodge offers comfort, convenience, incredible scenery, and a true sense of place. Between the beautiful views, comfortable accommodations, great amenities, and unique touches like the 399 cocktail, it was a highlight of our trip. Highly recommended!

It was nice to step away from phone screens for a bit. This is also where they serve their complimentary, well balanced breakfast from 6:30 AM to 9:30 AM. They even have a pancake maker where you can watch the pancakes being made through a viewing window. The fitness center was well equipped and had everything needed to work all muscle groups. I liked that the treadmill is next to the window, allowing you to look out at the mountains while exercising from time to time. They also offer guest laundry for $5 each for the washer and dryer, with detergent available for $2. My clothes came out clean and dry. I did not get a chance to use the pool during my stay, but it looked like guests were enjoying it. There is also an outdoor hot tub, which creates a nice contrast between the cold air and the warm water with steam rising above it. The staff were friendly and patient. They answered our questions thoroughly and helped us feel confident navigating the area. At first, I didn't like that The Lodge was farther from the main village, but it ended up being only a five minute walk to where we needed to go. I would definitely book my stay here again if I have the chance to return to Big Sky.

Our room was spacious and clean. The breakfast was average, although they did have a pancake making machine which you don't see very often. I wanted to get a glass of milk and nothing came out of the machine. I had to get the waitstaff to refill the machine, and then when I went back after they had filled it, the milk was sour. Except for the breakfast experience, our stay was fine. Not sure what it would've been like during the height of the season.
