We were there in the off season but it was quiet and beautiful. We were able to grill and spend time in the hot tub. It was close to all the major sites we wanted to visit. It was great!

Unsure
It was the host hotel for the Crazy Horse Marathon and provided shuttle bus to and from the race. The road getting there was under construction, the pool, restaurants, bar, hot tub…were all closed! Internet was not available I imagine if I was there when everything was open…during the summer… it would be a fabulous place to spend time! As for me…running a race…I would have preferred to be downtown with restaurants and other amenities available!

The clerk was absolutely fabulous. She was so pleasant and friendly. Gave us great directions and possible things to see. The property is so awesome. I would definitely stay here again. So much to offer - Campground, cabins, resort. Pickle ball court, pool outside. Loved it here, wish our plans would have allowed us to stay longer. Maybe next time!!!

We picked Palmer Gulch because they allow dogs. It was nice to have a balcony with our room. Unfortunately, some of the stores and restaurants associated with the hotel was closed for the season. I was disappointed with breakfast and the prepackaged food options that I am not able to eat.

Very clean rooms. Wish they would guest know that restaurant and other areas are not open during off season. They did tell us about a very good restaurant in town. Chute Rooster had the best local atmosphere and taste Bison burgers.
