What guests say
9.1 / 10 · Wonderful on Booking.com, from 470 guest reviews
Elkhorn Cabins and Inn earns consistently high praise for its exceptionally friendly and attentive staff — particularly Aaron — its spotless, charmingly rustic cabins, and its unbeatable proximity to Yellowstone's west entrance and downtown West Yellowstone. The main trade-offs are compact cabin sizes with limited storage (no closets, few hooks), which a handful of guests flagged, and occasional minor housekeeping oversights. Overall sentiment across these reviews is overwhelmingly positive, with the vast majority of guests saying they would return.
