Lake Yellowstone Hotel & Cabins - Inside the Park

10/10 Excellent

"What a gorgeous property! We had a second floor lake view room, but that was partially obstructed by the portico below. (Get a higher up room if you want a better biew.) The room was clean and beautiful. No AC, but once we got the fan working (one outlet wasn’t working) it was less stuffy."
