Star Valley Vacations from $1,449

This hotel near a horse ranch and backdropped by mountains was a pleasant and affordable setting for our week at Yellowstone. The drive to Yellowstone's west gate was about 10 minutes away and went through a small resort town that offered all the necessary amenities and good dining and shopping. A leather chair in the hotel's beautifully decorated lobby was where I snuggled in each evening to process photos from the day's adventures. The staff members were a delight to talk to and had intimate knowledge of the area. I loved the cinnamon rolls and my husband enjoyed the waffle maker at breakfast.

Shower flooded the bathroom

Excellent breakfast. Upon checkout, I informed the manager that I hadn't been able to take a shower due to the lack of a hairdryer; he apologized, offered me a new one, and allowed me to return to the room to wash up. Highly recommended! Thank you!

Friendly staff and a casual environment for a family vacation.
