Exceeded Expectations!

For our very first time in the Yellowstone area, we had a great stay! We were excited to stay in The Mercantile - and it exceeded our expectations! It was a perfect distance (25 minutes or so) from the West Yellowstone entrance, the house was very clean and well stocked with all the essentials. It was such a cozy stay, we were sad to move on to our next destination! Hosts reached out to make sure we had everything we needed.
