"I stayed here the night before I caught the ferry and it was fantastically comfortable. The only issue that I had, and it was very minor, was finding the check-in instructions, but it was no trouble - another guest showed me the way. Well, there was a second issue. The driveway is very steep with some very sharp turns. I had everything I owned in the back of my pickup, so with the added weight, it was problematic for me to maneuver the driveway. If I'd known, I would have parked on the road and walked up, found my room, planned my route, and then driven in. If the weather had been different, it would have been a problem. All of that said, I loved it and I would absolutely both recommend it and stay there again. "
"A great place to stay! The hotel combined two of the officer's quarters from Fort Seward to make a beautiful building. While the building is from the early 1900s, it is beautifully maintained. The owner is very helpful - he went so far as to dig out a socket wrench to help me with an errant piece of photo equipment. Would definitely stay here again. "
"Staying at the park is amazing. The staff were all great. They were all friendly and helpful. You just can't get over though the actual location. It's so beautiful."
"The price was lower than other places in town.
A camper with two twin beds, a standing shower, a gas range, a refrigerator, and an electric portable heater.
The portable heater was adequate for heating at night.
The stove burners were lid manually with a lighter. The host came over to lend a lighter. Later I almost burned my fingers for lightning a burner.
The instant water heater produced not enough hot water for taking a shower, so we didn't take a shower for the two nights staying here.
The refrigerator was out of order.
The interior air had a stale smell. "
