Yellowstone Valley Lodge, an Ascend Collection Hotel

Beautiful views, nice room but the lighting was so dim that it was hard to find things in our suitcases. Pleasant and helpful staff. Excellent hot breakfast--the best we've had at any hotel. We would stay there again.

Beautiful location right by the Yellowstone River. Delicious food at breakfast. Very friendly staff.

Beautiful setting, relaxing location

The Yellowstone Valley Lodge is all about location, location, location. It is situated on a high bank, immediately above a bend in the Yellowstone River. Roughly 15 miles outside of lovely Livingston, MT and 35 miles to the North entrance to Yellowstone National Park, YVL is convenient to both. The cabins, however, are spartan. We had a small cabin (actually a duplex) with 2 queen beds. I thought I requested a single king bed, but that could have been my mistake. The room comes with a micro fridge (think: a 6-pack of beer and maybe a chunk of cheese), no closet space, a "table" that was 2'x3' with a single chair and a small bathroom with a shower and a single sink in the adjoining room. Interestingly, advertised as a place for anglers, there were no hooks to dry waders or store fishing gear anywhere. Oh, and there is a nightly hatch of insects, completely inside the room. Swarms of them. The Yellowstone Valley Grill was on the property was a nice, albeit expensive, restaurant with a nice wine list. If you plan to use the YVL as a base for exploring the area, it's great. If you like to lounge around your cabin, you will soon feel claustrophobic.

This is a gorgeous location with many wonderful things to do in nature very close by. Area has many excellent food options. Hotel’s restaurant was in the “B” range, not the “A” range. However, everything else was perfect!

Great location! Great breakfast!

Breakfast was perfect- little euro style with self serve options. All fresh and non Hampton inn. Excellent location on the Yellowstone river.

Worked in a pinch. Nice rooms. Will go back when I have time to explore the outdoors

We loved staying there but we expected it to be bigger. Its very tight for 5ppl. The restaurant was terrible. Not the breakfast that was shown. They only offer limited items each day. Example, one day is french toast. I asked if they had waffles or pancakes and was told no but at check in the clerk told me they had a cook onsite who could cook what you want. We didn't use any of our breakfast vouchers that was included with price of stay. Staff is extremely friendly. The river running behind is breathtaking.

Nice stay on the Yellowstone River, beautiful view of the river and the mountains. Nice little duplex cottages with a great restaurant onsite, all booked during our stay. Nice breakfast is included as well, very friendly staff. Very large property with a field down along the river and river access as well. Would be hard to beat the view from the patio.
