“Yellowstone Big Rock Inn impresses with its proximity to Yellowstone's North Entrance and the walkable distance to Gardiner's dining, including those tempting bison burgers; the mountain views from the front patio are a definite plus. While I appreciate the well-maintained, fresh feel of the property, I would suggest requesting a room on the second or third floor to maximize those views. It's a solid base for park adventures.”
