I really love photography, so the photos are professional. There are really beautiful views here?
We stopped at this motel on our way to Yellowstone.
The restaurant was not open here on Monday.
So we had dinner at a great restaurant nearby ( Wapiti Lodge)
The room is small but clean with a mini refrigerator, TV, microwave and coffee maker. Free Wi-Fi.
?Now about the cons.
?The window in the room is covered with a white, almost transparent curtain. So, you will wake up with the sunrise (in July this is very early). I used a blanket and covered the window with it.
?The bed is old and uncomfortable.
?They use synthetic bed linen, my body came into contact with the bed linen and became electrified, itched and I only fell asleep covered with a terry towel after 3 in the morning.
I had this experience. It's up to you, travelers.
✅ Owners, please read the reviews and correct the shortcomings in your motel!
Thanks for understanding!

Looking online we saw good reviews and nice photos so we hopped this would be a good stay but it was not. Where to start..
We planned to go through Yellowstone where there would be no service so we called ahead to try and figure out what to do if we check in late. We left a voicemail with our question, phone number, and email. Figured when we got service back there would be a message on what to do. But nope, no reply ever.
Luckily we didn't get in too late so we got our key and went to the cabin. I believe we stayed in cabin #12. Here's what we found
- there were 3 beds. One twin bed looked like it was falling apart. The other twin smelled liked pee. The queen size bed In the main room was the only good one.
- we saw a thermostat on the wall but it wasn't connected to anything and didn't work. Instead they gave us two space heaters plugged in only to extension cords. Not safe, especially at night.
- good luck trying to find a place to plug anything in. You pretty much only have the extension cords to plug into.
- the remote for the TV didn't work. Btw this is the only entertainment
- the coffee machine was not cleaned and had left over grounds in it
- the cabin floor is not level but not too important. You can feel it under your feet and also by looking at the pictures on the wall.
- this one is weird. Laying in one of the twin beds completely still, you can feel the ground vibrating???? I didn't feel this myself but the three other people I stayed with felt it.
- the front door locks behind you if you close it, so make sure you have your key before stepping outside. For a hotel this is normal. But a cabin???
- they say there is wifi but none of our phones picked it up anywhere in the cabin.
- two of the windows were falling apart. One had a big hole in the corner. You have to open the bathroom window when showering cause there is no fan.
- also there is no table to set stuff on. We had to take the microwave off the mini fridge to free up space.
- the one outlet that was available (besides the extension cords) wouldn't even hold a plug in it. It just kept falling out. Had to use a chair to brace it to stay in.
- the sprinklers go off in the morning and they spray your vehicle all the way up to the front porch! Good luck loading stuff into the car you better time it just right or you will be wet.
- the power went out for no reason at all. We didn't overload the circuit or anything, in fact we were all just sitting still doing nothing. Had to walk around the outside of cabin to find the breaker box and reset it twice before power came back on.
- Best for last! We found a live mouse trap under the main bed! My mom was reaching under the bed looking for an outlet and came across it. Good thing she didn't get snapped she saw it first. Couldve been bad!
one last note: checkout is 10am not 11am like most others, which is whatever. But when we went to return the key the main lodge wasn't even open! So we just left the key on their door handle cause we didn't know what else to do? This was on a Friday. What a strange place
As for the positives
- good views and location
Overpriced and no way we are coming back with how janky and terrible service this place has. Maybe the other cabins are better. If you decide to stay here better hope you don't get cabin #12. I would recommend paying the extra money and going to Cody its not that much further.

I can’t speak to staying at Trail Shop Inn, but I can certainly say, if you’re in the area, the restaurant is outstanding. And our waitress was the best. I wish I could remember her name. She had worked in New Orleans and understood our desire to have sweet tea, and knows dumping granulated sugar in a cold glass of tea is not the way we do it!!

Nice, budget friendly, place to get some rest.We didn't have the dinner, but their cocktails on the front porch were wonderful.

Small and cozy lodge with simple rooms. The owners are extremely friendly and helpful. The attached restaurant is also run by them and is an absolute recommendation.

It worths every penny. Amazing view and amazing service. Very helpful staff. Clean and well maintained room. Moreover, it's close to the eastern entrance of the YNP.
