Trail Shop Inn draws guests with its scenic, quiet setting between Cody and Yellowstone and rustic standalone cabins, but reviews highlight inconsistent upkeep and services, spotty connectivity, and an on-site restaurant that is sometimes closed without notice.
Many guests praise friendly staff, clean or comfortable cabins, and beautiful mountain views. Others report maintenance problems such as unstable fixtures, cracks that expose the outdoors, musty carpeting, and equipment failures. Overall, expect a quiet, rustic base in a stunning area, with operations that can vary by season.

The room we stayed in was adequate. The wall dividing us from the next room over looked hastily completed and the bathroom floor wasn’t level. I think the log cabin had been built as something else and then hastily converted to a motel room. The biggest issue we had was that the restaurant wasn’t open while we were there, even though it was listed as a dining option on the Expedia listing. (It wasn’t open for dinner or breakfast.) We had to leave the property to get breakfast, so we just packed up, checked out early, and headed into town.

The outside of the cabin looked a little rough, but the inside was clean, neat, and a great fit for our family. The setting is beautiful, surrounded by scenic mountains that made the location feel peaceful and remote. Our main issue was the lack of connectivity. There was no cell service, and although WiFi was advertised, it didn’t reach our cabin. If we needed to make a call, send a text, or look something up online, we had to walk down to the restaurant. For a property this remote, reliable WiFi access in all guest areas is essential.

For greater than $200 a night you get to experience a small cabin that likely doesn't pass local building codes. The lights are dim and flicker like you're in a horror movie, the mattresses and pillows are of the cheapest quality. There is zero lighting outside apart from the sign leading you in, but that wasn't always on, this is bear country after all. The toilet is so close to the wall you can't sit on it straight and good luck trying to figure out the shower; The valve must be the design of someone's drunk uncle, just when you got the water warm enough, the shower is about to overflow because it doesn't drain fast enough, because the tile lip on the floor is very shallow, then you have to turn the water down and surprise, you either have scalding hot or ice cold. There is no indication of hot or cold. I had a dead bug under my pillow like a gift from the tooth fairy. The restaurant when open was great and the management was very professional, kind and helpful. I give this place a failing grade of 2 out of 5, it would be a 1 but the staff earned themselves an extra star. Maybe I just got the bad cabin. New shower valves, cheap solar yard lights and turning the water temp down on the water heater would go a long way here.

This is a great place to get away and just be with your thoughts and self. They only serve dinner. The closet breakfast is a drive away. There was mouse poop on our bedding when we got there, but what do u expect when this place is located in the middle of nowhere. This place is located Wapiti, not Cody. The staff was nice. Our toilet did not work in our original room, so they gave us a second room that was ajoining. So we ended up withb2 rooms, 1 working toilet, 5 beds. Overall it was a great nights sleep.

I'm afraid the Trail Inn is on its way out. Check in was at 4:00. We had reservations in June for stay in August. The room hadn't been cleaned yet. When we came back 1 1/2 hours later, pillows not on bed, etc. Cracks in the windows. No curtains on bathroom windows. skimpy curtain on one bedroom window. We used towels to cover. Fan in one bedroom broken shield, dangerous to use. Unkept grounds. restaurant closed for season already and no one in office most of time. Sad, sad place.

Rustic cabins that are a great place to sleep after a long day in Yellowstone. Beds were comfy, AC worked well. Only kitchen items are fridge and microwave. These are super old cabins so things like electrical outlets, Wi-Fi and cell service aren’t a thing. Off the grid. Grassy outdoor area with picnic tables was useful for dinner and breakfast.

This cabin was nice and clean. The location was about 20 minutes from Cody, WY and approx 40 miles from Yellowstone NP. We were not able to go into Yellowstone (due to the flood closure) but plan to go back in a few years. When we do go back, we are hoping to stay at Trail Stop Inn. One thing to keep in mind for this location is that there is only a small gas station nearby -- shopping and dining options are in Cody.

The outside of the cabin looked a little rough, but the inside was clean, neat, and a great fit for our family. The setting is beautiful, surrounded by scenic mountains that made the location feel peaceful and remote. Our main issue was the lack of connectivity. There was no cell service, and although WiFi was advertised, it didn’t reach our cabin. If we needed to make a call, send a text, or look something up online, we had to walk down to the restaurant. For a property this remote, reliable WiFi access in all guest areas is essential.

The location is beautiful and peaceful. The cabin was a great size for my family of 6. The bathroom fixtures were a little crowded but it didn’t bother us. The restaurant was closed when we were there which was a bummer but we would definitely go back!

The cabin was bigger than a hotel room with nice, comfortable beds for everyone in our family. The location was a wonderful get away set out side of town. The on site restaurant served very delicious food.

Half a roll of toilet paper in room. Emergency phone number for owner/manager did not connect. Air space to outside in bathroom behind the toilet. Restaurant on premises not open. 25 miles to nearest town to get something to eat.

The room we stayed in was adequate. The wall dividing us from the next room over looked hastily completed and the bathroom floor wasn’t level. I think the log cabin had been built as something else and then hastily converted to a motel room. The biggest issue we had was that the restaurant wasn’t open while we were there, even though it was listed as a dining option on the Expedia listing. (It wasn’t open for dinner or breakfast.) We had to leave the property to get breakfast, so we just packed up, checked out early, and headed into town.

The view from our cabin was breathtaking & majestic. The restaurant on site was fabulous- Stephanie who ran the restaurant & checking guests in was an absolute delight. I loved every moment we spent there.

This property clean with amazing view. We had a plan to come and visit yellowstone and it was the most coldest day in June. Staff was really helpful and provided 2 space heaters for us, which was a big deal. Nice was cozy and warm. We also had dinner for 2 days straight and it was amazingly delicious. Thank you

This property is a group of cabins, and at first looked a little sketchy, but the cabin was very nice, all pine board walls and ceiling, cozy with nice appointments. The only negative was that we were visiting off-season and the reasturant was not available and the options for dining were limited in the area.

We only stayed one night of our two night reservation due to mice. A mouse walked across us!!!!!!! We could hear them chewing and a hole was chewed in one of my bags!! We attempted to talk with the office but no one answered our messages until the next day's later afternoon. We attempted to receive some money back, but the office wouldn't address it. The room was very clean, but with nothing to use for traps and no one to speak with, we felt we had to leave. Very frustrating and disappointing.

The cabins are old and unfortunately critters can get into the walls and make disturbing noise all night. Nothing actually in the cabin but loud enough to wake us from a deep sleep. Great shower. Host / server was excellent. Dining room was attractive and food well prepared with reasonable prices.
