Independent Travel Advisor

The property is located in quiet neighborhood, conveinent to West Yellowstone and the entrance into Yellowstone National Park. The house was clean and well equipped. It even came with a Moose and her new born calf in the backyard one morning. We highly recommend this property for your base into Yellowstone and surrounding area.

Beautiful home

This home was gorgeous and the perfect fit for our family of four. Stocked with everything we needed. Beautiful views and nice neighborhood. Far enough away from the crowds in west Yellowstone but close enough to drive in to town or to the park and enjoy.

Everything we needed

This hosts provided everything we needed to enjoy our stay in the Yellowstone area. The kitchen was well-equipped allowing us to cook most meals at home and they even thought to provide bear spray and bug spray! The furniture was very comfortable for lounging after a long day exploring the area. I would not hesitate to stay here again!

Montana getaway close to the National Parks

The house was like home (the beds were so comfortable!) and had everything we needed. The location was great. Close enough to the parks without being crowded or touristy. Check out the view of the stars! There was also National Forest trails and fishing everywhere nearby. We went to Yellowstone and the Grand Tetons and saw bears, elk, bison, eagles, and other animals, as well as amazing geological features.

Beautiful House

The house was beautiful. One of the best things was that we could use the garage. It snowed over 18” while we were there - the snowblower was wonderful as well. If we head back that way we will stay there again if available.

Yellowstone on Friends bucket list

Very easy to drive to the park from this location. House open with lots of light and good separation of bedrooms for two couples. Wish the arrival time was 4:00 p.m. instead of 5:00 p.m. instead of 5:00 p.m.

Mountain home

The property was nice, it stated in book no air conditioning but we did not need it during this stay. Lighting above table dusty but otherwise clean. Windows in living are cathedral high so sun would be in your eyes while sitting on couch. It was very close to Yellowstone and convenient, great little town restaurants and shops.

Great home base for Yellowstone

Nice location, about 12 minutes from the west entrance to Yellowstone. We loved the proximity but also that it’s outside of the hustle & bustle of the West Yellowstone town. I was very impressed at how well stocked the house was. I appreciated all the kitchen supplies and they even had a cooler and backpacks that came in handy for our daily trips into the park. They also had bug spray and sunscreen, although we had our own. They had bear spray too. The set-up was perfect for our family of 5. The only improvement I could suggest is different window treatments on the upper windows in the living area. Our visit was in the summer and the sun shining in was blinding to anyone sitting on the couch for a few hours each evening. We also visited the West Yellowstone Rodeo during our stay, about a mile away from the house. Our kids loved it, very authentic!

Great property with easy access to Yellowstone National Park

This property met or exceeded our expectations. The main room had comfortable furniture and a large dining table. There was also a large screen TV for those who like watching television. The internet access worked well, too. The kitchen was large and well appointed with more than enough dishes, glasses, and cookware. The appliances all worked. The washer and dryer along with laundry detergent was appreciated. The bedrooms had comfortable beds and pillows and extra blankets and pillows were stored in the closet. It was easy to access the house through a key pad. The house and garage were both clean and tidy. There was also a back porch with a table and chairs which we enjoyed. This property was in a quiet neighborhood and was perfect for our vacation. I would definitely book this property again if I was staying in the area.

No A/C and needs new beds

It was not clear that the house did not have A/C. When we arrived to check in, the house was a steaming 80 degrees. All the blinds were open allowing direct sunlight making it feel even hotter. We immediately opened all the windows but it did not cool until 12:00-1:00 am. Cooking dinner was miserable. We reached out to the property management team who said there was a compressor on property but it wasn’t connected. We then asked if there were any fans to help with the heat. We only found one in a spare bedroom. We never heard back from the management team. The twin beds in the spare bedroom were awful. Absolutely no support and need replaced. For the amount we paid to rent this property, the lack of A/C and old beds was extremely disappointing. The property was clean and had sufficient kitchen equipment but the nonstick pans could also be updated. Overall it was an average stay. Being hot makes for an uncomfortable stay. I understand it’s Montana but the time we visited the temps climbed to the 90’s.

Our group travels a lot and we all agree this was one of the cleanest and most well appointed places we’ve stayed. It was extremely comfortable- we felt at home right away. We really enjoyed the location that was calm and not loud or busy, but also close enough to West Yellowstone to be convenient. We would absolutely recommend!
