The Lazy Duck Inn is conveniently located close to the west entrance of Yellowstone National Park. Also it is close to restaurants and shopping. The room was clean, attractive and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay.

Very Cute Duck!

Its a renovated Motel at the far end of town thats maybe 4 or 3 blocks from main street. The pictures are exactly as it is with neat touches like an airbnb. Its very comfortable. Sweet place.

The room was wildly accommodating for our family of 5 and very clean. We stayed in room 30. On site ice machine for free and easy to get bags in and out. Picnic tables, grills, lounging outside. Great place.

A very nice stay at a very nice place that exceeded our expectations. Easy chec in, responsive staff and an incredible property that made our Yellowstone experience all the more special. Hope that we can bring the grandchildren back for more fun.

This place was very cute. I liked that the check in process is very simple and they stock up for the length of the duration. It was very clean and well kept. Loved the vibe and grill areas they provide.
Jennifer, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

I love the check in process which was great when people are arriving at different times. The place is clean and super cute. We will definately stay here again. The doors could use some WD40 and the heater in my room needs some maintaince but other than that it was perfect.
Sarah, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

I liked the easy check in process! Though wasn’t a real check in, the host just texted me the code to get in the room. The door wasn’t secure when we arrived so that was a little strange. Room was decorated nicely. Clean.
Rebecca, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

SO expensive for what you get, 90 a night for a cleaning fee, small rooms. They were clean and cute and an easy mile walk to the main shopping and dining areas. Area around hotel was very dark at night and run down but did not encounter any safety issues. Minutes drive to the west entrance of park! No staff on site but they were relatively responsive via text if needed. We only stayed two nights but for longer stays, would want a clean and fresh supplies. At 350 a night, would maybe stay again since all hotels and motels in the area charge very high fees due to the proximity to the park. Cute updated style motel over all. Had all the supplies needed, bottle water for one night, wine and coffee glasses, coffee and plasticware and plates.
Elizabeth, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Tara looks sketchy but it’s not, just the looks. Bed is super comfy. You won’t ever meet any staff as I never saw one person. Don’t expect any morning service, but the bed is insanely comfortable. You are safe on that area
Brad, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The best "budget" hotel I've ever stayed at. It was clean, remodeled and had all amenities needed for a comfortable stay. There was even a little welcome present waiting for us upon arrival, some delicious local taffy.
Chrisanne, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Our stay at the Lazy Duck was comfortable with easy access to Yellowstone park. Plenty of dining options close by. The only drawback was there is no AC although you don't need it at night and you should not be spending much time there during the day so it was fine with just a fan. We would stay there again.
John, 4-night trip

Property was so quaint and clean. It was so adorable. Beds were very comfortable. Checkin was easy. We would stay there again.

Property management folks that came during the day were very friendly and accommodating. Room overall was very mice and the decor was very nice. Mostly quiet in the evening and easy to sleep.

It was a pleasure staying at "The Lazy Duck" during my recent visit to West Yellowstone". The location was easy to find and Check-in was seamless. The room was clean, cute and well stocked for morning coffee. We appreciated the breakfast voucher to the "Old Town Cafe". Breakfast was great! We recommend "The Lazy Duck" for all future guests! Thank you so much for your hard work! The room was lovely!
Peter, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

I had low expectations for this motel but it is actually very nice and comfortable. Note: they say that breakfast is included, it’s not. They give a voucher for a local restaurant that will cover about 1/2 your bill. The room has a very good coffee set up and smal kitchen. We bought food and ate in.
Jodi, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Clean. Quiet. Comfy. We booked our stay for a last minute trip at the Lazy Duck and were not disappointed! A great spot as a base camp for Yellowstone National Park. No breakfast on property—-but you do get breakfast vouchers at a nearby cafe. We would definetly stay here again and look forward to how the property evolves as it is under new management.
Ashley, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Had a great stay at the Lazy Duck. It’s a little on the outskirts of town, but the town is so small it didn’t matter, we still walked to diner one night. It was quiet and comfortable. We stayed Labor Day weekend and no AC was no problem we just opened the windows at night. We enjoyed the breakfast voucher but only used it once since most days we left for Yellowstone early. We liked the seating and picnic tables outside. We liked not having to “check in” and just getting sent a door code. We would stay here again.
Alicia, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

The property was clean and new, and staff talked to was excellent with information, but during my 3 day stay, hosekeeping NEVER checked in with me to empty garbage or ask if I needed more towels. They were on the property each day but only seemed to clean empty rooms and then left. Still a pleasant stay at a reasonable rate but a little weird about the housekeeping.

Affordable stay for family ski trip to Big Sky

The while family enjoyed our stay at the Lazy Duck Inn while skiing at Big Sky. Teenagers were very happy to not have to share a bed. Beds were very comfy. Lots of linens/towels provided. Very quiet location. The building is older but it was very clean and didn't feel "old"- we were very comfortable (new beds/bedding!). Great communication from managers and they even dug the grill out of storage so we could grill our steaks one night. Kitchen is small but it had everything we needed. The drive to and from Big Sky was light traffic (much easier than coming in from Bozeman). Loved this little sleepy town. Next time we will be sure to book a sled tour to complete our winter experience in West Yellowstone.
