Yellowstone Valley Lodge, Ascend Hotel Collection

Great restaurant and lodge. The food and wine selection are always excellent. Everything I have ever tried has been wonderful, sometimes a new adventure for me or a classic dish, I’ve never been disappointed. And no review would be complete without complimenting the setting with such spectacular views! I have celebrated many special occasions there including my engagement down on the river and got married there too. It’s a very special place. Highly recommend YVL for dinner, lodging and events.

We had a birthday dinner in the restaurant and it did not disappoint! Stunning views of the river and mountains. Stephanie took excellent care of us and all of the food was outstanding. I had the elk loin which was insanely delicious. Highly recommend to travelers and locals alike.

Wonderful establishment with down to earth staff, great food, mind blowing views of the river and mountains. Would totally recommend.

This is a very nice place located right on the Yellowstone River in Paradise valley not too far from Chico Hot springs. They have wonderful little cabins there that would be ideal for couples, family, or fishermen!

Wonderful stay at the Yellowstone Valley Lodge! We traveled with family, including small children and a dog and it was amazing! We even ended up extending our stay we were having such a great time. The cabins are really nice, spacious and worked well with our family. I loved the large porch, complimentary breakfast and of course the views! Everyone on site was super friendly as well. We can’t wait to come back!

The rooms are half of a little cabin. It would be great to bring family/kids and have connecting doors. Excellent hot breakfast comes with. We visited the week after flooding closed the entrance into Yellowstone. The little town is cute with a quilting/yarn shop, a crystal store, and a grocery filled with local foods and gifts. The lodge property was beautiful in summer. Each room has a private outside area with views of the river. We sat and bird watched for a bit. It is a bit of a drive but totally worth it. We hope to come back.

Beautiful location and wonderful staff!!
We took my ill father in June to enjoy his favorite place, Yellowstone NP. The staff were extremely accommodating. We had a first floor master bedroom and could move the wheelchair on the porch within feet of the river. Ericka ensured we had extra supplies as needed, Beth made breakfast according to my father's dietary needs, then managers Kevin and Danielle stopped by to visit with us. I appreciate the kindness and care shared with us. Thank you so much for making my father's last trip amazing!!

You cannot find a better view than these cabins overlooking the Yellowstone River and the amazing wildlife that surrounds it. The staff was so friendly and helpful, the cabins were very comfortable, our kids had a blast outside exploring and fishing and didn't want to watch TV once, and the restaurant was OUTSTANDINGLY delicious with a great wine list!!!! We checked out a few other resorts during our stay just to see what was out there and nothing compared to the food, view and lodging here. We already booked for next month and next Summer!

Unique and cozy destination on the river with friendly and helpful staff. Used this as my base camp for travels into Yellowstone each day and it was perfect! Continental breakfast in the morning was simple but flavorful and featured a different dish and fresh made pastry each day. Only things that could have made my stay more enjoyable would be a hot tub looking out on the river and more days on my vacation

I cannot begin to describe how amazing this place is. The staff is amazing, especially Alecia in the restaurant - she makes the most delicious breakfast EVER! The rooms in the cabins are very comfortable and have a beautiful view of the Yellowstone river. The cabins are duplex units, so the walls are a little thin - but if you are bringing the entire family you can just open the joining door between the rooms. The beds are comfortable and they have really nice heavy blankets on them. The restaurant dinner was very good and also gives you a great view of the river. They lit the fire pits and we sat there after dinner. The breakfast - AMAZING! Everything made from scratch and delicious. Lots of fresh fruit and juice, and coffee! Definitely worth the extra drive to the park to stay here!

We knew the weather would be unpredictable at best for early spring, and the warm and welcoming cabin at YVL made it all worth it. The views, the staff, the amenities and the top notch restaurant were all above and beyond expectations.

Listening to the Yellowstone River as it lapped at its banks, waking up early to catch the glorious Milky Way, planning day trips and playing board games at the kitchen table, chatting with cabin neighbors on our deck, playing fetch with the dogs on the green grass in the valley, and enjoying the fire outside the restaurant after a delicious meal—these memories are what your lodge gave our little group of three. Thank you for an inspirational respite! Our stay was too short, only four nights. Next time, more time!

We very much enjoyed our stay. Fabulous views, nice cabins, loved the breakfast. We had dinner as well one night & it was unique & delicious. The staff is helpful & friendly.

This is such a special place. The location is close to Yellowstone, however it's secluded and offers plenty of relaxation. I could have spent most of the vacation sitting on the patio, just enjoying drinks while listening to the river. The hotel restaurant is also amazing, with great service and top-notch ingredients. After spending the rest of our trip around crowded Jackson Hole, I missed this place even more. I highly recommend staying here.

We recently stayed for 3 nights and had a fabulous experience. The location right on the river is amazing and we thoroughly enjoyed coffee and wine out on our little patio!! The breakfast was AMAZING...fresh baked goods, super friendly staff and a spectacular view (to include watching the prairie dogs) was a definite highlight. We were lucky enough to get dinner reservations for two nights and we were thrilled with the wine selections and amazing local, fresh menu. We will definitely be returning with family and friends. Super easy drive from Bozeman airport.

This place is absolutely stunning. The views are to die for, the rooms are amazing, and the Yellowstone river is your back yard. Staff is awesome and the restaurant is perfect. I'm from Philadelphia and we have some stunning restaurants, the one at this lodge could easily compete, and beat some of them. Food and wine is amazing with a huge selection and the prices are perfect. I cannot stress how amazing this place is and you will not be disappointed.

We stayed in a newer 2 bedroom cabin with a king bed and two single beds in the loft. We arrived late so they tapped our key to the outside door for us. The cabin was nicely decorated and clean. The view in the morning along the river was great. They had a nice hot breakfast included with the stay. We would definitely stay there again.

What an awesome place! You'd think it would be enough that it's simply beautiful ... overlooking the Yellowstone River... but our room was fantastic - much better than any midrange hotel like a Hampton Inn or Garden Inn and better than everywhere we stayed in Yellowstone. And if that wasn't enough you gotta eat there. In addition to the food being excellent - I think we may have just met the friendliest people in the entire Gallatin Valley! So wonderful!
BTW - about this place is about half the cost (and twice as nice) as anything in Yellowstone. Stay the night here, have breakfast, then go into Yellowstone.
Such a great place.. we will definitely be back!

Absolutely love this place, the staff is awesome and friendly, food both breakfast and dinner are amazing and of course the views are million dollar all around. Took our dogs with us and they had a blast also. Been here a few times now and every time we visit the area this is where we will be. Thank you Yellowstone Valley lodge you have been great to my family and I and look forward to coming back soon

Wonderful place. A great view of the river and mountains from the deck at the rear of the cabin. Morning breakfast was great many choices, not a typical hotel breakfast the two ladies in attendance were friendly and helpful. The zuncini bread may had been the best part but my son thought the breakfast burritos wete very good and the coffee was excellent. the supper in the restaurant on site was very good. The menu had more variety than I expected with a wide wine selection and local craft beer. I had the beef tenderloin and it was perfect.
