Stayed Sep 8, 2020Eleanor and Tom are top notch in providing all the amenities and thinking of the traveler, particularly in this COVID time. The bungalow is on property with Tom and Eleanor living next door. The amenities in the small house were well thought out and everything was clean and in perfect working condition. The cleanliness was superb, and reflected sensitivity to the COVID times. We chose to eat in the bungalow, and found the kitchen area to be perfectly outfitted for this and even light cooking. Eleanor went out of her way to communicate ahead of time regarding directions to the bungalow, and tips on the restaurants, and touring in Yellowstone. We also had our own designated parking adjacent to the bungalow and off the busy street. The yard and landscaping was well cared for and beautiful setting. The location was quiet, and just what we were looking for. We would return again in future.

As for the cottage, it was clean, comfortable and well stocked with all you could need. Eleanor was available to give us suggestions and information when we asked. If we ever return to the area we will return to the Lilac Cottage!

Stayed Oct 25, 2025The concerns and hospitality of the host was amazing. They made sure we knew all the ins and outs of visiting their area in non-opportune times. They even texted us during our stay to make sure we were aware of changing wheather conditions. On top of all that the lodging was so comfy and cozy and they provided items to make the stay even better. I will be a return guest. Not sure you can say anthying better than that.

Stayed Oct 1, 2025This was the perfect size place to stay for the two of us. The cottage is so beautifully decorated and comfortable. We found ourselves ending the nights on the recliner chairs catching up after a long day in Yellowstone hiking. All of the restaurants and downtown shops are just across the bridge from the home and we walked to dinner both nights. The bed is on the separate side of the cottage from the kitchen and table which made it great for me to get up early and be in a separate area with my laptop and coffee while my girlfriend could sleep in a little longer. We only stayed two nights, but would definitely stay here longer if we make it back out. I was not able to find a corkscrew anywhere in the kitchen, so either I did not look well enough or they did not have one. I carry my own small cheap version with me (we love to relax with some wine at the end of the day). The ice-cream in the freezer was a really nice treat.

Stayed Sep 7, 2025This was truly the most generous hospitality I’ve ever experienced. Everything was prepared with care and thoughtfulness. The place itself is cute, cozy, and welcoming - shining clean and maintained at the highest standard.The kitchen and pantry were exceptionally well equipped, which allowed us to cook our own meals with ease. We especially appreciated being able to use the property’s grill.It was clear that the Stones went above and beyond to think of everything a guest might need.The location is also excellent - just a short drive to the northern entrance of Yellowstone, which made exploring the park very easy. Having a grocery store nearby was extremely convenient.Beyond the amenities and location, what really stood out was the warmth and generosity of the hospitality. We felt cared for and comfortable throughout our stay. It felt like being welcomed into a home.We would absolutely recommend this property wholeheartedly to anyone looking for a relaxing, spotless, and thoughtfully prepared getaway.

Stayed Aug 25, 2024Our second time at this lovely home, and enjoyed it just as much as the first time. The location is ideal to YNP, and the tourist stops if you want. We cooked our breakfasts and dinners at the cottage, the kitchen having everything you need. The owners are marvelous, and close but it is still very private. Sitting in the yard is ideal after a long day.
