The surrounding area provides access to the Gallatin Wilderness, Absaroka-Beartooth Wilderness, and Yellowstone National Park. Paradise Valley, known for fishing, hunting, and hiking, spans between Gardiner and Livingston.

The hotel offers complimentary level 2 EV charging. A bathhouse includes eight private communal bathrooms with heated floors, steaming hot rain showers, and all-natural bath products. Luggage wagons are available. The mercantile sells gifts and souvenirs. The hotel is pet-friendly with a small fee and provides poop-bags. A designated smoking area is in the parking lot. High-speed internet service is provided, but performance can vary due to the rural location. The hotel has an ADA bathroom with a slow-closing hinge and a ramp in front of the shower.

“What sets this apart is its embrace of community, from campfire chats to s'mores under the stars. The tipi accommodations are surprisingly comfortable, complemented by clean and readily available bathroom facilities that ensure convenience. I think it is a memorable experience near Yellowstone.”
