The cabin was cute but the area was not what we wanted or expected! Also, we have stayed in many Airbnb‘s & this one gave you zero amenities! Aside from Salt-N-Pepper, there was nothing usable and for people traveling that’s really an inconvenience. The least you could have there is coffee so we can get up in the morning and make coffee.

Clean but misleading
Good: clean, new Down side: broken window that causes a lot of rattling all night apparently management knew this and failed to tell us or get it fixed prior to our arrival. Excuse was it was rented continuously and i guess it takes more than 8 hours to change a window from the time someone checks out. We complained and they managed to patch it up same day so not sure why they could not prior to arrival. Towel situation is not good. I suggest bringing your own as they refuse to supply more than 1 per person no matter how ling your stay.

Buffalo Bungalow was cute but area was commercialized
The place itself was adorable. It had everything we needed, BUT it is located on a very busy road where ATVs are speeding by at all hours. The noise at times was deafening. WE wanted to sit outside on the front porch but all you can see from there is a parking lot and ATV rental place and a corn dog stand. Not what we pictured as a relaxing view. If you looked out the back bedroom window, you viewed a small RV trailer park...It is a great cabin but a bad location.

Buffalo Bungalow
This tiny cabin was perfect for me, my husband and our two dogs. It was warm and welcoming, had everything we needed, and there was ample room for our dog crates. It was very quiet since we were there during the off season and we didn't mind the drive each day to the park entrance. Things to consider: hooks by the door for leashes/coats, a rug inside the door for wet shoes and paws, safety bar in bathroom, no slip pads in the tub.

My stay
Tiny but fine. Needs a handle for support while getting out of the tub. A couple of towel hooks would help in bath and bedroom. Rather than the bench in the bedroom put shelves or cubbies or a dresser. The bedside drawers helped but not enough. However, we really enjoyed the property.

Wonderful Cabin
We found this cabin exceptionally comfortable. It was immaculate and so charming, just as pictured. It was so quiet and the bed was so comfortable. Located just off Highway 20 it was very convenient for driving to West Yellowstone. Many other beautiful spots are easily accessed from this location. Island Park is a hidden gem. Everything worked perfectly. The wifi was excellent. Highly recommend!

Super clean and cute as can be! Kitchen was very well stocked with utensils/cookware. Comfy bed! My only surprise was the location. Was not prepared to be so close to the Highway. Used a white noise app at night to mute the highway noise.

Great stay!
Flew into U53 and biked here using the great IAA bikes. . 8 miles on the side trail so a little far but fun. The place was VERY clean. I’m allergic to pets so was concerned as it’s pet friendly but the place was so new and clean I had no issues. Host was the most responsive host ever! Highly recommend.

This is the perfect place to stay to spend time downtown Yellowstone and in the park. It’s a short drive and you might even get to see wild life on the way. The place is clean and cozy. The host was super easy to work with. We will definitely stay again!
