What guests say
9 / 10 · Wonderful on Booking.com, from 237 guest reviews
Yellowstone Basin Inn earns overwhelmingly positive sentiment across recent guests, who consistently highlight its spectacular elk-watching views, delicious homemade breakfasts, and spotlessly clean rooms in a quiet setting just minutes from Yellowstone's north entrance. The handful of complaints are relatively minor — slow evening WiFi, limited amenities like an ice machine, and some dissatisfaction with upstairs rooms lacking views — though one guest raised a genuine safety concern about the stairwell door. Overall, it's a charming, small-scale inn that delivers a memorable, nature-immersed experience at a competitive price point.
