The Fishing Bear Lodge

This was a quaint little hotel. My kids liked the bear and outdoor motif. The beds are in two different rooms, so we could close the door between the kids and adults. The bathroom has a huge vanity which is really helpful for all our toiletry items. The take-and-go breakfast was pretty good. We had muffins, oatmeal, Nutrigrain bars, fresh fruit, hot chocolate, and a few more items. There was plenty for everyone. We would definitely stay here again.

The only thing I an think of to improve the room is a fan in the bathroom.

Perfect location for what we needed. We were on a family vacation and visited Idaho Falls, GTNP, YNP x 3, and so much more! The beds were comfy, the full fridge was great but we only had a table for 3 and a room that slept 8.

A second powder room for a party of 8 would help and the coffee is the bathroom was a no go for us. There’s also no mirrors outside of the bathroom, so with a large party, it can be a little challenging.

Place is stylish and cozy.

Shower was horrible. Shower head is old and pressure so hard it's bruises your skin! Awful! The air freshener automatically time-released fragrance right next to beds, make it hard to breath. If you allergic as I am, beware!

We were on our way to Yellowstone when the roads got to bad and we had to pull off and stay somewhere for the night. The simple ease of booking and checking in here within a few minutes was wonderful. We enjoyed or night and woke up to a foot of snow. They had the walkways clean and the parking lot shoveled. We had Breakfast at the Cafe across the street and everyone there was very friendly. Had a great experience and would definitely stay here again.

I love that this lodge is centrally located in an area that gave us plenty of access to hiking trails and tourist attractions. I met the owners Jeff and Patty. Such wonderful and caring people. The rooms were very clean, and well maintained. The owners even put lawn chairs in each room so that sitting outdoors can be enjoyed. They offer a very simple breakfast of fruit, coffee, nutrition bars, and oatmeal, which is good because if you're going on a hike you don't want to eat too heavy. If we ever come back up this way, we will for sure stay here again!! We stayed for 1 week and enjoyed every moment of it here!!

I think the only thing is that the bathroom was really small and counter space very limited, but it was clean and useful.

Everything about this place is great. We booked the family room and it was exceptional. Well kept, convenient( ice maker right outside our door ) cute yet spacious. It has a large refrigerator inside and three TV. The front desk people are so sweet and friendly. The layout was also very well designed. Would definitely stay again. Ps It is about an hour drive to West entrance of Yellowstone but the drive is easy and beautiful. Upper and lower Mesa Falls is less than 20 minutes away and is a must see.

Continental breakfast was very basic but I did not expect anything so it was a non issue for us.

Very cute and clean bear themed cabin style accomodations. We were at Yellowstone until late and didn't have cell phone service, but were left a key and a code key option for checking in late. Thank you Donna for reaching out and leaving us voicemails! We slept in because of our late arrival, but the lady at the front desk let us grab some of the breakfast snacks/fruit that had already been put away when I asked (she wasn't very chatty though and could have been a little more friendly). It was about an hour drive from the west yellowstone exit of the park and right off the highway 20. We were pleased with the two separate spaces for the two queen beds in our room so I could put the kids in the other room. Only stayed one night, but we were very satisfied overall and thought it was a good value for the price considering other prices of places near the park at this time of year. We would stay again!

Could add some fans/venting in the bathrooms. Couldn't find anything about check out times or breakfast hours on the website which would have been helpful since we arrived late and didn't speak to anyone at check in.

Breakfast was just what was advertised, so that was fine for us. The room and hotel was so cozy, it felt like staying at someones house. We loved the look, the grounds were very well maintained as well. Loved that we could buy swag with the logo on it.

better seating inside of room would be only suggestion and our air conditioner sounded like it was on its last leg, very noisy

It was close to everything.

It’s going through a remodel.

This is a darling remodeled motel. The rooms are small but decorated very nicely-cabin/fishing style. Comfortable beds and nice linens. The "toilet paper flowers" are incredible!

The location is unfortunate, on the main road and they are doing major road work. We were there on a Sunday so the noise wasn't a problem.
