Fantastic spot! We stumbled upon Fort Wilsall by accident during bow hunting season. The owner was so friendly and accommodating! Clean place, great location. Walk to great food and bar. I will hopefully be back next year!

The cabin is nicely decorated and clean. The owner is very friendly. I had a comfortable and quiet sleep. I recommend this place. No t. V. But great wifi.

Hidden Gem: my wife and I stayed here for $70 per night from July 1st to July 4th. And it was great, clean, modern, friendly owner and tucked off the Highway so no noise. I travel for work and know a good thing when I find it. So trust someone who's been to 20 states and stayed in motels; this one is worth it. The town has a great little coffee shop for your latte and donuts, too.

This is a wonderful find. They have better towels than most $500 a night hotels. The bed is comfortable and the proprietor Mae is so friendly and helpful. I’ll definitely be back again.

We stayed in cabins 4 & 5 - the rooms were super clean and so cute! They each had bunk beds with a single on top and a double bed on the bottom. My husband and I fit perfect on the bottom with our dog. It is pet friendly!! One of the rooms had a mini fridge and microwave. The wash house was separate for these cabins for bathrooms and showers, but each had their own personal wash room. The whole set-up was perfect! Mae was so nice and helpful, and dinner at The Vault was delicious and a walk away. Overall, 10/10, and highly recommended!

Lovely cabins hosted by Mae and Dick just north of Livingston. We had a very friendly welcome on our bicycles, and an excellent stay and night's sleep in cabin #1. Good WiFi included. Picnic tables just outside too if you want to cook and eat. Very highly recommended.

Amazing stay last night! The woman in the offices walked us through the area and gave us a lot of information about the area. Funny thing is that our room was cleaner then the last three hotels we stayed at which cost more then double the cost of this great establishment.

Love it!!! Great price, very accommodating and clean. Wifi works great. This is the place to stay if you're looking for a quiet place near Bridger Bowl! No TV but that's no big deal. Office has tons of books you can check out. Last photo is the $55 rooms that are only open in summer. I stayed in a $75 room (after tax!!!). The biggest room is $85 and has a futon
