The Wapiti Lodge - Wapiti, Wyoming

I stayed here one night in the Grant Suite while visiting Yellowstone. The staff were friendly and it was very clean. The bed was easily the most comfortable of all the places I stayed on my trip. Not too soft, not too firm, just right. The area is very calm and quiet at night with beautiful sunset views.

I had a good dinner in the restaurant, but I got too early of a start to my day to try out the coffee shop.

Other reviews mentioned the Grant Suite being off the front desk area and there being noise, but I heard nothing after about 8 PM. I went to bed a bit early and had no issues.

I spent the night before this in Jackson in a cabin that was more than twice as expensive, not very clean, and had a mattress that made me long for my college dorm bed. If you're thinking you need to stay in Jackson, don't! Save your money, back, and sanity and stay at the Wapiti Lodge instead!

This is an incredible historic lodge! We stayed 2 nights in the Langford suite and enjoyed every minute of it. The Hosts, Kenyon and Beth, are amazing. You don't find this type hospitality around much anymore. The views were absolutely incredible. The food in the restaurant was amazing and the service staff was enthusiastic and friendly!
1 night they even had live music!
The room! The beds were very comfortable and the historic wood floors and walls were stunning!
We'd definitely stay again!

We absolutely loved Wapiti Lodge!! One of the best places we ever stayed on our travels. Loved our quaint room which was spotless and had everything we needed for our four nights we spent there. Comfy bed and pillows. Fantastic food in the restaurant with a mountain view as you dined. Quiet atmosphere and enjoyed sitting on the front porch of the lodge, in the rockers, watching the sun come over the mountains. The owners of the lodge were so friendly and attentive to all our needs. If we go that way again we will certainly stay at Wapiti Lodge and encourage others to do so!

We stayed here five nights - my husband and I in an RV site, my parents in the lodge.

Overall we had a lovely week and you can’t beat the location and aspect of this beautiful property. The views of the mountains and the valley are spectacular from every angle. The owners were also very welcoming and friendly.

We stayed in the RV site closest to the river which had everything we needed and had great views (although the river is actually on the off side of the camper). We also had the place to ourselves which was very relaxing and private. However, I would have been pretty annoyed if I had paid that much for any other of the other rv sites… they are very tight, no view, and WAY too close to the stinky dumpsters.

My parents enjoyed their accommodation in the lodge which was very comfortable and spacious.

The food at the restaurant on site was pretty awful, including the cocktails! But the location made up for it.

We stayed here at the end of May with my family if 9. Absolutely loved it. It's hard to find a place to stay together for that many people. The owners were fantastic and so helpful. They were able to help with anything we needed. The beds were so comfortable, and in the room we had the shower was separate from the toilet and sink. That worked so well with 9 of us. The drive to Yellowstone was beautiful. We stayed 5 nights and loved it! Definitely would stay there again!!

This lodge is very nice, located 20-30 minutes from east entrance of Yellowstone. They have spacious comfortable rooms. The staff were very friendly. Nice bar and restaurant with great views of the mountains. They have a coffee shop but it was not open the morning we left so we had breakfast further down the road at Pahuska Tepee Lodge.

Do not try to camp here!

This is what $90 dollars a night gets you: a very uneven, small campsite, water, and electric. NO toilets, NO showers, NO hospitality. The owner was very rude when we asked about restroom facilities stating that we should have checked the terms and conditions before signing up for our site. Site 1 has some scrubby trees, and a super sloped, all rock (not even gravel) site. Oh and that view of the river? You have to walk to the edge of a cliff to see it. We will not be back, and we may even leave without staying a single night. My advice: find someplace else.

A very nice small lodge, very b-n-b feeling (second b is not included though, but you can buy it). We stayed in the Hayden suite, loved the room, it was quite spacious, and the layout, although it looked a bit odd at first, was actually perfect! The bathroom is in its own corridor along with the kitchen, therefore you basically don't hear any bathroom sounds from the room!
The location is nice, it's quite a drive to Yellowstone's "main" areas, but it's an absolutely beautiful drive, with picturesque meadows, gorgeous canyons, waterfalls, snow patches you can literally walk to (in July!!!). One (maybe more than one) of the neighbouring lodges offers horse tours in a National Forest...
The views from the lodge are beautiful too, there is a patio and lawn chairs on the back, it's very nice to sit there and watch the river flowing below, and gorgeous mountains, and some wildlife...
The restaurant itself was not a big hit for us, we tried breakfast and it was very salty and spicy, even a kids meal, but everyone's taste is different, so your experience may be different too.
