We loved staying in the bell tent. It was a very unique experience. It was clean and the staff was excellent.
The only negative was the noise of the road traffic nearby.
I would stay again!

I appreciated that they offered extra blankets as it was very cold at night despite bing summer and also having my own one with me.
For some reason I didn't think the tent would be really open all the around the bottom for technically many kinds of animals being able to crawl/walk/slither in. We still had a special experience for that one night. It was fun to sit at the fire and show our overseas guests how to make smore's

An excellent Glamping experience. The tents and beds were very comfortable. The campfire conversations with new friends was nice. A nice alternative lodging options while visiting Yellowstone.

This property was overall a joy to stay at. I only have a few gripes for my stay. One, the showers are a bit on the smaller side and that’s expected for where the property is located. Next, the water pressure of the shower isn’t the best, if it was better, I probably wouldn’t have had any issues with the property large enough to dissuade me from giving it five stars. Finally, the proximity of the interstate can make falling asleep a bit hard at times, however, these are all small issues at the end of the day. The staff was kind, the living spaces look exactly as advertised and I left the property satisfied.

We stayed in a Yurt, the place was very spacious and comfortable. Only at night in was very cold inside, need some kind of heating. The grass was over grown, showers and bathroom very clean but needs a little attention the shower knobs which were overs flowing.

First time sleeping in a tent and wasn’t terrible. The beds are nice and cozy and really warm! The blankets they provide are great.

The tent was very comfortable and surrounded by trees. Although the campground was quiet, you could hear the highway traffic. The grounds were poorly maintained with inadequate mowing around tents and on paths.
4.0
Beds were really comfortable. Lots of room to move around and relax. We also loved looking up at the stars at night through the plastic panels of the tent. My only complaint is that we couldn’t use our cook stove by our tent. It’s a little inconvenient having to bring our food/coffee over to the communal area to cook. However I do understand that they don’t want someone accidentally starting a fire.

We absolutely loved our stay! We stayed for 4 nights. We actually choose this place over a hotel that was 5 mins from Yellowstone (which is where we spent most of our time) because we wanted to experience the glamping for the first time. Let me tell you it did not disappoint.
Our first night we took the top window covers down and got a surprise thunder and lightning storm and watched it from inside the tent! So awesome.
Our second morning we had a moose run behind our tent!!! We got the luxury family tent F9 spot. We were away from other tents which was so nice. The community fire was a fantastic idea and my little one enjoyed the s'mores.
Just our personal opinion would be if the weeds/wildflowers around the tent were pushed back about a foot so you could get around the tent to open the windows. We did that in the mornings to air our the tent. Maybe a couple more bathrooms closer to the family tents. I would recommend shower stalls with just a shower and sink and no bathroom but again that's just a personal opinion.
Definitely will do this again if we come back in the area. Thank you Starlight Retreat for a great experience!

Stay was nice. Tents are spacious and beds are comfortable. Lots of spiders and other bugs but all together the stay was nice.

From the greeting at check, to the check out process, this was a great place to stay! Please go in with reasonable expectations. Yes, you sleep in a tepee or yurt, but you are provided with wonderful beds and bedding. No, there is no electricity, but a proper solar battery for what we needed and to run the two lamps provided. Yes, there are portable bathrooms, but are very sufficient for getting ready or preparing for bed. If you want a different experience than a hotel, this is it! We loved waking up to the sound of birds and the crisp morning air! We did not miss hotel style at all! Expect that this is "glamping", and you will be fine. At the welcome tent they provide coffee after 7am, games, cards etc available to take back to your tent, and a fire pit at night.
The only 4 I gave it was because personally i would have like for the area around our yurt to be a little more groomed instead of overgrown. But, again, this is not a hotel so it wasnt too big a deal.
Our family will definitely stay again when we are in the area! Thank you for the adventure!

We had a wonderful time staying at Starlight Retreat. The stars at night were beautiful and the tents were so clean and welcoming. There is a community area to cook and a fire to roast marshmallows too in the evening! It does get pretty cold at night so make sure to bring warm clothes to sleep in even if it’s hot during the day the nights get really cold.

if anyone would like to have tenting experience , this places is nice. they have newly renovated bathrooms incl showers. portable restroom near tent. they provide tent , beds and comforts. Tent entrance was not closing properly so nights were cold due to cold air into tent. We observed few TPs have zip to close fully

There are not enough toilets and not enough water. The surrounding area is overgrown with grass.

Great luxury tent! Very clean, beautiful grounds, just wish the bathroom was closer, but they were clean, wish coffee and tea were served earlier than 7:30 since we were leaving early to get into park, but overall a great place! Fun, family friendly!
8.0
It was a good experience at Glamping, close to Yellowstone National Park, affordable. Staff was attentive, they had complimentary smores for the kids.
Issues with the toilets, some were not working, and there was always a line, Would suggest having more facilities on site.

Bring warm for cold nights. Bathroom facilities not convenient

It is very nice tipi tent. Very clean. The bed is comfy. The shower is terrible with very little warm water coming out. The water can hardly reach your shoulder. I don’t know how I finished my shower.

Limited bathroom and shower area, always waiting in line, the longest waiting time over 30 minutes. electric supply from solar are so bad, only last for few hours even only used for phone charge and one dim light. No water line other than bathroom.

The stay was horrible. It was very cold and the heater we had to ask for, did nothing. It was 27 degrees. The battery for lights was dead shortly after we went to bed. There wasn't any water in the morning in the portable bathroom. We couldn't shower or brush our teeth. We didn't stay the second night and wasn't compensated for anything. I would NEVER stay again. Very misleading

This was a great, unique stay for us. We loved the family size tent and it was very comfortable. The inside of the tent was set up very nice and had a cozy feel. The area was beautiful, and we would visit again.

Off the beaten path for visiting Yellowstone, but an amazing option if you don't mind driving outside town for an extra 20 minutes to get some peace from the crowds and much more reasonable prices. Use the Google pin they email you and not the address!!!! The address using Google maps took us down a dirt road 10 minutes before we tried the pin. The safari tent is such an amazing experience for the kids. Clean, safe, it's definitively "glamping". Shower/bathroom trailer is nice. S'mores in the evening were a big hit with the kids.

The tents are ok. we left after one night because no hot water and all the toilets but one were clogged up
and people where still using them. i will never go back
and they would not refund for the next night we had booked.

Everything was great. Clean. The hosts were very kind and accommodating. The shower houses were clean and nice. The owner was the sweetest. S'mores bonfire every night was nice!
6.0
I love the fact that is on the forest, the beds were very comfortables.ñ, the stuff were very nice. What I don’t like is not having a lot of privacy since there’s others people on the tents close by. My child had a misbehaving moment during the night and I Was reported to the police and had to show up to child protective services supposedly I was abusing her. I was release cleaned because of course that wasn’t the case . It also rained a lot one night and we got water come in directly on my moms face during the night.
8.0
It was Fun but the roads in and out and especially on site were bad. Granted they had some poor weather in the days prior but if we had brought a different vehicle we would not have made it to our tent at all. Considering it is tent the actual tent was very clean and we stayed warm. Walk to bathrooms was short and bathrooms were very clean. Again the minimal maintance made the walk muddy. The might want to consider some type of walkway such as raised planks or concrete to make it safer during poor weather.
4.0
We enjoyed our stay. It had rained a bunch so it was muddy on the roads. The tents were clean and had plenty of blankets, it got down in the 30s at night. They offered heaters for a small fee. They provided towels as well. Battery in tent worked great for what we needed, lamp, fan, charging phones, hair straightener.
