An Oasis

5.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed 2 Nov 2016
What an oasis of calm....close to the Eastern gateway to Yellowstone National Park. Forget ''social media'' of any form and step back in time.

The cabins, nestled into the hillside, are comfortable and clean and cater for single people, couples and families of various sizes. Their décor is delightfully 'Western' and cosy and if you require anything just ask the staff who are friendly and accommodating. There is a communal lounge if you wish to trade stories with other travellers and an excellent dinning room - well worth a visit. The food is delicious and well prepared - with lots of it.

Wild life abounds in this area. Naturally so as it's on the doorstep of the Yellowstone National Park. I had a tick list and pretty much got it covered except for a Wolverine.

One day I will return to Elephant Head Lodge but until I do I have wonderful memories and an abundance of photographs.

Quiet comfy cabins right outside of Yellowstone. No tv or cell phone service is available which is exactly what we needed. We really enjoyed just sitting on our deck with a glass of wine and soaking up the beautiful scenery, peace and quiet and fresh air!

The only redeeming factor of this place was the two wild male bison that spent the night about 75 feet from our cabin! We saw them nearly too close in the morning! The cabin was tiny, extremely rustic, very poorly kept/constructed, and the bathroom was dirty. The shower curtain bar fell down, the hot water ran out after 1 shower, the bed was smaller than the queen advertised plus old and uncomfortable, and the only heat was a portable electric unit. Food from their kitchen was barely edible. All this for about triple what the price should have been...total rip!!!

Room tip: Stay away!

Close to east entrance of Yellowstone. The Cabin was small but very comfortable. No cell service, no TV, no Internet (TV and internet is available in the lounge). A perfect opportunity for cribbage on the front porch with a magnificent view. The staff couldn't have been more helpful and courteous. Dinner and breakfast in the dining room was excellent and the sack lunch was very good. I highly recommend this place. Wish we could have stayed longer.

We loved our stay at Elephant Head Lodge. Location is very convenient to Cody, Wy and to Yellowstone. The owner and her staff were wonderful. It is beautiful, quiet, clean and comfortable. Breakfast was absolutely wonderful every morning. The owner even visited our cabin to warn us that a grizzly bear was in the area, so beware. We did not get to see the grizzly however! Did see a bison at breakfast one morning and that was a treat! Would definitely stay there again. While there is no cell service there, she has phone, computer and tv available if needed. We enjoyed watching Univ of Texas football game with others staying at the Lodge and enjoyed happy hour with them. Great personal attention while staying at the Lodge.

Room tip: Wonderful cabins with beautiful views.

We stayed in a cabin at Elephant Head Lodge during our trip to Yellowstone Park. It is 11 miles from the East Entrance to the park. The staff was helpful and friendly, our cabin was lovely and just perfect for what we wanted. Note: there is no cell phone service or televisions, but we liked that! They even booked a horseback ride for us at a neighboring lodge which was just a few minutes down the road. We had dinner a couple nights in the dining room and the food was excellent. We enjoyed meeting all the staff who were very friendly and helpful with information about the area and the park. We would recommend and definitely stay there again!
