Aspen Inn is a great family stay

We stayed at Aspen Inn for a week while visiting Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Parks. We arrived to the cabin and found it to be exactly what we had hoped for. It was a great place to hangout as a family. The location was quiet and the neighbors were all friendly. Thanks again for letting us stay at Aspen Inn!

Even better than the pics!

Home is beautiful. Wish we had more time to enjoy the deck, the game room, play the board games, but our schedule was busy and limited those activities to the evenings. We enjoyed them immensely. Close to fishing, Yellowstone entrance, and many hiking trails. Walked in the mornings hoping to see a moose, and caught a glimpse of one, but it wasn’t until we were packing that one wondered down the road right in front of us. The only negative was we arrived to find a boil water order for the neighborhood-it would have been helpful to know that info in advance, so we could have brought hand sanitizer and additional water than the case provided. Ended up buying 5 gallons at a nearby gas station that was marked up quite a bit.

Yellowstone Family Friendly Cabin

Our family with young adult to adult age members was very comfortable at Aspen Inn. The kitchen was stocked well with tools and spices. The location was ideal for our first visit to Yellowstone. The cabin is spacious and bedrooms are comfortable. Shawna responded quickly to questions. It was very enjoyable 4 day stay.

Aspen Inn stay 6/1-6/8

Aspen Inn is a lovely well kept cabin in a sweet little community in a good location. Unfortunately we had to contact the host about the following problems: The neighboring house has a camera mounted outside their patio post facing the hot tub & grill deck which is not acceptable. There was an ant problem -large black ants in cabin & outside front door right corner. The hose was not connected and is too short to extinguish the fire-pit so we had to douse it by hand as required in the contract. Not keen on towels washed by former renters. Didn’t smell clean or fresh & were dry and scratchy. The dryer barely gets hot or stays hot with 4 towels in it. We spent 3 hrs cleaning & drying towels with tepid air which your contract required us to do to obtain refund. The dryer will not dry any amount of towels in a reasonable amount of time. Might need a service call to check the vent or the heating element. Propane tank #1 was left on so it was empty Propane tank #2 was only partially full. There was no cutting board so we bought one and left it there. 3 of 4 casement windows on the first floor bedrooms close but do not latch or lock. The host stated the owners were there before we arrived and their cleaning people did not clean it for us so why some things were missed. I think we were very understanding about all that during our stay. We had an issue with a refundable charge stated in the contract and online Vrbo terms which Vrbo took care of. Laurel

Super nice house.

Super nice house. Beautiful location and was well stocked. Hot tub was a great bonus. House is advertised without WiFi so we did know it in advance. Unfortunately one person in our party did have to work while on vacation so this was an inconvenience to them. Other issue was that we were required to wash our towels before we left. If I’m paying a $325 cleaning fee I don’t want to be washing towels. I also don’t want to be using towels that I don’t know if they were washed or not. Who knows what the previous renters did.

Cute cabin

Great cabin for two families with kids. Upstairs pool/ping pong table was a hit. Hot tub is very nice. Kitchen is well stocked with spices and kitchen necessities. Due to the boil order we brought a large water jug with dispenser which was handy to use at the kitchen sink. Host provided several bottles of water. We didn’t want to have to plan our last morning around washing and drying all the towels so we brought our own towels. Location 15-20 minutes from Yellowstone was perfect.

Pleasant stay

The house was clean, and easy access to Yellowstone. Everything we needed to stay comfortably. Enjoyed our stay very much. *Problem: E coli in water so we had to use bottled water and be very careful not to get water in mouths, which is hard to do with toddlers, and bathing. No WiFi , which is hard with our modern times.
