Bar N Ranch

The ranch is lovely, and the view is amazing. The common areas and rooms are attractive enough, and the beds are comfortable. However…when we checked in, we were told breakfast was included, when it was, and where it was. What we were not told is that they shut the restaurant down for the season part way through our stay. When we asked about it, they acted like we should know and were fairly rude about it. They do not give us bottled water upon check in. There is no elevator and no air conditioning. Our rooms were on the second floor, and we had to carry our luggage up and down. The room was not clean. There was visible dirt and dust all along and on the baseboards. The bathroom was like a sauna no matter what we did. We never did find the source of the heat but the radiator was not on. This didn’t help our efforts to keep the room cool even with the bathroom door shut. There was no divider on the shared balcony, and we had to keep the door and window open when we slept since there is no air conditioning. We didn’t love that lack of privacy. Our coffee pot in our room didn’t work and was our only option for coffee for early morning tours. Also, the coffee, sugar, and sweetener were in canisters, which didn’t seem sanitary as who knows how long they were there and who touched them. Same for the unwrapped coffee filters. And, since no bottled water was provided, I assume we were to use bathroom water to make it. When my husband asked for creamer at the front desk, they gave him an open quart container of half and half. There were unsealed s’mores bags near the front desk, and I think the same ones were there when we checked in as when we checked out. The corn hole boards out back are warped, and the bags have holes and are filled with rocks/gravel. We felt like more of a nuisance than guests. Overall, you must be paying for the location and view. Because the rest is lacking. To be fair, we hear this is a common theme of hotels in West Yellowstone, so maybe we should have expected less even for the price we paid, which seemed high for what we got. I think we’d have been happier if it was just clean, and we were treated better.

A nice alternative to the lower grade rooms in West Yellowstone near the same price point. QUIET - which was much appreciated. The restaurant is a nice alternative to the crowds and noise of West Yellowstone. Would go back.

Dear owner, look for AJ and stop dodging the issue.
Yes, we stayed here day before. We checked in after 10. We messaged asking for a broom and mop since it was after 10 and no one responded. We stayed for one night.

Booked an expensive 2 bedroom cabin. Writing this while staying here. The FLOORS ARE FILTHY AND DISGUSTING. THE MANAGEMENT OR THE STAFF DO NOT BOTHER CLEANING FLOORS. There is soil, footprints and sticky nasty patches. We checked in at 10pm and this is not what I expected to come to.

We had a great time. A beautiful setting.

Amazing, real american ranch.
Easy to reach west Yellowstone, Big Ski, Bozeman.
Staff very kind, beatiful room in the lodge.

The large 4 bedroom cabin exceeded expectations. Food at the restaurant was the best we had locally. Really enjoyed the fire pit. Definitely recommend considering this location as a base for your Yellowstone adventure.

This location was part of my Backroads trip. It is lovely and just beautiful. The views are amazing.

We recently stayed here for our Yellowstone trip and this place was amazing. We stayed in one of the lodge rooms. All of the staff here were beyond amazing. They offer special amenities like s’mores kits, fresh baked cookies, coffee and more. They have some great onsite activities that guests can do like corn hole, roping, take a walk on the property, games, etc. They also have a heated pool. There is a restaurant on site, but we did not dine there. They are about a 5 minute drive from town. Our lodge room had a jetted tub and a porch with a view. I cannot say enough good things about our stay. Check out our fury little friend who came to visit one evening while we were watching the sunset. They offer various types of lodging from cabins, to luxury tents and lodge rooms. They also have bear spray you can borrow.

Absolutely stunning location. The food was very very good. The service was phenomenal

We loved the Bar N Ranch!
The location is perfect—wake up to stunning sunrises, wildlife sightings, and mountain views every morning.
The staff went above and beyond to help with anything we asked.
Such a beautiful place!

We were visiting Yellowstone in late May and we had a blast there. We loved the location and amazing views from our cabin. The cabin itself was very dated but clean. The only surprise was that we had bats leaving in our cabin’s attic which would be very lovely if they weren’t such noisy animals. They squeak and move a lot and in the middle of the night. The staff was very defensive about it telling me we are in the wild so that’s normal (this is $500 cabin not a tent though, right?) and they asked me if I am willing to pay more for bigger cabin if they have one available (well no, I paid for this one already) and at the end they sent me a message offering a white noice machine. I don’t think the management handled it right by us but the Yellowstone was so beautiful and we only had two more nights to stay there so we decided we won’t ruin our vacation because of that situation and we enjoyed the rest of the stay. Would I stay there again? No! But now I tell everyone the storie of the bats in the cabin! Also bats are protected until the end of September so I'm sure they are still in cabin 8 if you want to have your own bat story to tell :)

The hotel is definitely in the shoulder season. Communication was terrific before we arrived. We were told there would be bfast, cocktails, and soups throughout our stay. Driving up, we called to ask a few questions and were told there would be no food at all. We pivoted and went to the restaurant they recommended which was amazing! When we arrived, there was a fire and wine as well as hot tea so assumed that would be the case the following night. Not so. On arriving the next evening, no water, no tea, no wine, no staff. Again, if this had been communicated, we could have pivoted. To top it off, the rooms were incredibly hot, hot air blowing out of the radiators. We were told the heat was off which was not the case. We texted the number they left and never received a response. Did not feel like guests but rather like we were a hassle. It was all too bad for the price. The view was incredible. I had hoped the service would be as well.

As an addition, I did reach out to the General Manager and he quickly responded to my concerns as well as offering compensation for the sub par service. He took full responsibility and was kind in his response. With that type of leadership, I believe these sort of incidents will be few and far between in the future. Thank you!!

I just stopped for a coffee, but the ranch was super cozy and tha staff very friendly. Felt like home. They offered us the coffee without a charge even though we told that we were just stopping by.

Our stay here was amazing. The views, the staff, the food, and especially Rons cooking and Huckleberry jam!! This was one of the best experiences I’ve had and will likely return!

Nearby activities: Yellowstone Park, diamond P Ranch, lots of restaurants and sightseeing

Food and drinks: Amazing home cooked breakfast and then best jam I've ever had

Service: 5
