I LOVED the Bison Cabin we stayed in. Had everything we needed. Easy check-in/check-out, super convenient to shopping and dining, as well as a short drive to Yellowstone and West Yellowstone airport. I would definitely stay at the Bucking Moose on my next trip to Montana!! Great staff, and very well kept

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
This was a nice comfortable place to stay in West Yellowstone. The room was clean and extra care is taken to ensure guests are well taken care of. The only suggestion is that 2 coffee k cups for a 3 day stay for 2 adults isn't adequate. With no staff on site we couldn't obtain more. Small inconvenience not anything that would keep me from going back.
