Rock Creek Resort

This lodge and adjacent condos overlook the rushing Rock Creek in a lovely, landscaped garden setting. We had considered cancelling our early July stay here, as three weeks previously, the town of Red Lodge and Yelllowstone Park had been flooded; local bridges and motels were washed out and the two north entrances to Yellowstone and the Beartooth highway were damaged and closed indefinitely. Cheery staff assured us that the damaged local roads and bridges were already reopened and that there was still good hiking outside the park. Since the lodge’s restaurant, the Piney Dell, had been closed for some time, and the closest restaurant being five miles in town, I called to make sure our room had a microwave and refrigerator. As it did not, the front desk offered a complimentary upgrade to a studio, overlooking the Creek. Our three-day stay was very nice – our studio was spacious, with a murphy bed, living area and balcony. The indoor pool with jacuzzi were sparkling. A continental breakfast, with plain yogurt and berries, muffins, coffee and juice, cereals, coffee and tea were provided. The staff were very friendly and helpful. We learned that the property was for sale, and so hope that the new owners will re-open the restaurant -- essential to have if you are calling yourself a resort.

We spent 2 nights here during our family vacation, which happened to be over the July 4th weekend. The room rates were awesome compared to other locations. Our plans changed last minute due to flight delays, and the resort was so understanding and willingly to work with us. The rooms are spacious and comfortable. There is no a/c and the WiFi is spotty, but those are luxuries that weren’t needed for our stay. Because of the resort’s location, our rooms stayed cool, even during the heat wave that had hit the area. The common outdoor areas are inviting and relaxing for guests. The pool and hot tub were great additions to our stay. We even lost a cell phone during our visit at the resort, and the staff helped locate it for us while we were traveling through Yellowstone. VERY THANKFUL for their willingness to help!
