What guests think

Across recent reviews, Drift Lodge is praised for clean, cozy cabins and a convenient base for visiting Yellowstone, while guests repeatedly note drawbacks like weak WiFi, noticeable highway noise, and the lack of air conditioning during warmer afternoons.

Many find the staff friendly and accommodating, and several cabins feel spacious or well appointed for families and longer stays. A few guests mention dated fittings or maintenance issues, and some rooms are small with thin walls. Expect simple, cabin-style lodging near the park with tradeoffs around comfort and connectivity.

Finding this place to stay at for our first trip to Yellowstone, was the first found treasure of our trip!! Wonderful location. Took full advantage of the communal bbq and firepit! As close to camping as grandparents will ever get, lol. But they loved it! So did kids, who made new friends while staying! Loved it!!

Wonderfull location with the cabin situated about 300 yards off the high way. Front view is excellent on a huge ranch, breathing in very fresh air. Nice setting inside with wild west decoration, cowboy style all the way. Quite and restful night stay. Will stay here again next time.

Super hytte til den lille familie knap 30 kilometer fra Yellowstones vestindgang. Der er et lille tekøkken som er et kæmpe plus. Eneste lille minus er kvaliteten af WiFi... den er ikke meget værd.

NO A/C!!!!! Super small cabin there is no place to put your luggage. I ended up having to lay it on my bed then take what I needed and pack it back up and place it next to the bed. Shower is so small. At 5’7 my head almost touched the bathroom ceiling!!! If you’re 5’10 or above good luck getting in the bathroom without bending over the entire time. Sink is small splashes everywhere and no room for toiletries. They have lights everywhere which makes astrophotography non existent. Due to the fact there was no A/C you have to leave the windows open. All you can hear is semi trucks blaring down the highway 20ft from you. The walls were super thin I could hear my neighbors in their intimate act. It’s basically a mobile trailer made into 2 rooms. Would not recommend this place to anyone. With that being said the staff was friendly and they had a gas station not far from the place. Restaurants were in West Yellowstone 3 states away.

We were looking for a quiet cheap place so we didn’t expect anything special, however the WiFi didn’t work, the bed was uncomfortable and the toilet leaked. When we reported the leaking toilet they never got back to us or repaired it or offered compensation on checkout.
