The property was clean, friendly staff, excellent breakfast, and had a pretty river view. Dinner could have been better for the price and they were operating on a limited staff due to being off season (cleaning room). No perks for being a Platinum Expedia member. The property is a great option for the area.

A truly wonderful property on the Gallatin River. The staff were very friendly. Moved us to a riverside room at no extra charge for our two nights. Bartender was great. Dinner was excellent. And they have amazing wine list. The place offers the Montana Big Sky feel. Would definitely return.

Excellent place to stay !! The rooms are great, breakfast was very good each day. The staff is helpful, knowledgeable of the area and very friendly. The dinner service is excellent and the chef creates incredible dishes from scratch. We took our son for his 21st. birthday and he loved it. He said it was the best meal he ever had. The bar is well stocked and the wine list is extensive with great wines. The wine list has a very wide price range and Juan will help you choose an excellent bottle to go with your meal. If you are fly fishing the Galatan river or going to visit Yellowstone from the west yoou should stay here.

This was a very quiet, clean and beautiful place to stay. The back deck overlooks the River .So relaxing to just sit there and listen to the sound of the flowing water. Loved the real wood burning fireplace too! Staff was super nice and accommodating.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
We loved literally everything about staying here in regards to our room and the facilities and services to our room, aside from fairly underwhelming experience with service in the restaurant. Breakfast buffet was amazing, but service in the afternoons and evenings in the lounge and restaurant for dinner was often painful, from incredibly slow service while not too busy, to forgetting orders as well as not understanding how to charge the room.

Not worth the price

First, if you’re closing your kitchen to guests due to an event it would be appropriate to inform them of that when you receive notification of their reservation rather than waiting until they arrive. Second, the jets on the bathtub were all coated in bright orange grime. Some bleach and a sponge would have cleaned that up pretty easily. If they’re not cleaning the east spots it makes me question the hard to clean spots. For the cost of this room I would recommend going elsewhere. The lack of cleanliness and being told at checkin that we would not be allowed to dine there were both off putting. Not to mention the stink eye we received from a few folks at their event, a wedding I believe, when they saw us walking our dogs.

Place is run like a motel

My room was extremely uncomfortable. Lots of noise from the room above me. It was very hot when I checked in, so I turned the thermostat down/off. 4 hours later with the room still hot, I called the front desk and they told me to open a window (such a joke -- it was below freezing outside). Spent the night not sleeping, continually opening and closing the window as it went between too hot and too cold. Never experienced this in my life, and certainly never experienced anything like this at $460/night. Got a call on the phone at 10:55am saying I need to check out--what hotel does this? Spoke with the general manager in the morning to ask for a partial refund and he was such an arrogant jerk. Classic old guy from Bozeman who has no idea about hospitality and how to treat guests. Told me on the way out he "looks forward to my negative review". No slippers provided in the room; no glasses provided in the bathrooms. Breakfast was burnt coffee and overcooked waffles and eggs in metal containers with the lift up lid. Place is no better than a roadside motel. There are so many nice Ranches and Lodges along the Gallatin. Do yourself a favor and choose one of those, not this place.

Nice rustic resort. Two queen beds are separated by a door which is nice. Not fancy but very clean. Very nice responsive staff. Great included hot breakfast with enough options for most to be happy. Went for skiing. Loved the hot tub. Beautiful spot and likely even more beautiful in warmer weather. Walls a bit on the thin side but comfortable beds.
