Loved staying in our clean quaint rustic cabin. The updated shower was one of the best on our trip across country. Friendly staff.

Review is based solely on the RV PARK…read more Alright guys if you are reading this is because you are on your way to Yellowstone and need a safe place to stay that's only 1 hour away to the West entrance. Well don't get discouraged from the other post. Some are really old post and some are based on misguided information. Trust me, I live and rely on Yelp reviews so I was kinda hesitant to stay here but I gave it a try. How bad can it be!? But first let's address some of the reviews. Someone said they couldn't find it? I mean cmon there is a huge sign and entrance directing RV people to their RV spaces (and yes we arrived at night and found it). Took us about 2 seconds before we figured that one out. :) Now let's address some other stuff, customer service!? Well we had a great experience. It was as simple as calling in, reserving a spot and enjoying our travels. Now let's talk about the RV spaces itself. They were so many options to choose from, all provided with hookups , level spots and some great views. I really hate when people leave bad reviews on places that don't deserve it. Have fun and safe travels.

STAY AWAY! Horrible Management and Refund Scam…read more I stayed at this property on July 10th. We originally booked a two-bedroom stay, but since my parents could not make it, we canceled one room. At check-in, the front desk employee explicitly promised us a refund of $228 within 10 days. Twelve days later, no refund appeared. I called the hotel, and the same front desk worker claimed the refund was processed and told me to check with my bank. My bank confirmed absolutely no deposit or pending refund was ever made. When I called the hotel back again, the manager (who claimed to also be the owner) finally called me today. He was incredibly rude, hostile, and screamed at me. He claimed my case was "weird" because it was a third-party booking and that they hadn't received the money--even though I paid directly at the front desk and have the bank statement proving they charged me! When I told him the front desk employee promised the refund, the manager said they let that employee go because he "lied to customers." When I asked for a straight answer on whether they would honor the refund instead of wasting my time and making me chase my bank, the manager literally screamed at me, told me not to call him a liar, declared he would NOT give me my refund, and insultingly told me that I "should speak English better." This place has horrible, abusive management. It is absolutely not a 5-star hotel, and it is a complete rip-off to pay $572 for one room just to be treated with racism and hostility. Do not stay here!

My husband and I had a fabulous 4 night stay at the Henry's Fork Lodge…read more The lodge is spectacular and the staff couldn't be nicer or more accommodating. The food was over the top. Gourmet food and beautiful presentations. The rooms are spacious and have beautiful views of the Snake River. The friendly staff make you feel like old friends coming for a visit. I highly recommend Henry's Fork Lodge. PS...the FlyFishing is Amazing!

Rating the restaurant which only offers a tasting menu (pick one appetizer, one entree and one…read moredessert from the 3-4 options in each section and the price you pay is the price of the entree which is between $65-80 per person). The restaurant itself is nicely decorated (feels like you are in an upscale cabin) with a few tables and some tables outside. They bring out bread to the table with olive oil and tomato puree, but my gripe is they brought 4 small slices of bread in a basket to our table of 4. We had to ask for more bread twice (once to soak up the sauce from the appetizers). They could definitely be more generous with the bread, but that is minor. For my appetizer I ordered the gnocchi (brown butter sauce with crispy prosciutto, sage and mushrooms) which was absolutely delicious, I just wish it was a slightly bigger portion. I know it is a starter, but I always want more than 6 or so gnocchi. The texture was perfect, pillowy and soaked up the sauce nicely. For my entree I ordered the beef medallions in a green peppercorn sauce with asparagus and potatoes au gratin. This dish was also divine (though I could have done with fewer peppercorns). The meat was cooked perfectly and was a nice sized portion (6 medium slices of steak). The asparagus and au gratin were very tasty and went well with the dish. Others had the halibut with farrow which they enjoyed, especially the tomato jam on top of the fish though I think the beef was the better of the two dishes. There were 4 desserts and 4 of us so we tried all four. There was a blood orange sorbet (way too sour for my liking), bananas foster cake, ice cream with fresh berries and a chocolate bread pudding. We enjoyed them all (others like the sorbet) and one in our group said the desserts were the best course. Overall we had a really nice meal and it is fairly good value for the quality and for being a 3 course menu. The only thing to improve here is the service. They only had 3 servers we saw and while our waitress was friendly, she seemed new and overwhelmed. We had to ask for out water to be refilled a few times, for more bread (we asked, it did not arrive and we had to ask again), and she did not come by our table often. She had forgotten a request to put a sauce on the side (no big deal) and we had to flag her down for the bill. Again not a huge detractor, but for an upscale restaurant you would expect more attentive service. All that said, the food was fantastic and I would recommend coming here for dinner.

We stayed two nights here while visiting Yellowstone and it was exactly what we wanted…read more We actually switched to this place mid-trip. We'd been booked at an older property inside the park with no air conditioning, cancelled it, and found the 1872. Best decision we made. The AC worked exactly as it should, and after long days in the park it made a real difference. It's an adults-only boutique property at the edge of town -- close enough to walk downtown, far enough to escape the crowds and noise. Quiet is the word that keeps coming to mind, and that's rare in a gateway town in August. Check-in was easy, and the gentleman at the front desk walked us to the room himself and showed us how everything worked -- the gas fireplace, the towel warmer for the bath towels. Small touches, but you notice when someone takes the time. The room was spotless and a good size. We had four pieces of luggage open at once and never felt crowded. Beds were very comfortable. Anything we asked for, we got. We loved it and would stay here again without hesitation. The switching story is the strongest thing in the review now. Anyone weighing in-park lodging against staying in West Yellowstone is going to read that paragraph and make a decision.

Probably one of the best hotels I've stayed at in years. Perfect for a romantic getaway or just a…read morenice quiet stay (no children). Amazingly comfortable beds (really!!), in room fireplace and dual person showers. The furniture, headboard and trim all reclaimed wood and a very above standard Continental breakfast. Walkable distance to the touristy shops and great food of downtown West Yellowstone (an oddly large amount of ice cream shops). Right next to the west entrance of Yellowstone National Park.
