WHOA. There were 11 of us and we all absolutely loved the house. Outstanding location, 30 minutes from the north entrance. Matt was awesome; such a nice guy. The kitchen had absolutely everything we needed and the great room was amazing. We all want to come back and I hope we do. Incredible place, can’t recommend highly enough.

Escape from the heat in the South

Absolutely amazing house and host for our family vacation! Everything was ready when we arrived and it was so nice that things were provided which we didn’t think about like bear spray. Host provided the best communication we’ve ever had with booking a vacation home which we greatly appreciated. It was so fun to see animals every day just grazing or walking through the area. Thank you!

Wow….Best Cabin Ever! The cabin was beautifully decorated, plenty of space for a large family; everything you could need has been provided. Host was amazing! Great communication, from booking and through out our stay. Easy drive to Yellowstone. Lots of animals around the property and a big yard for kids to run, play and explore. Spend your evening around the fire pit with amazing views of the stars!

Amazing vacation

Pictures don’t do this property justice. The home is so much bigger and roomier than it appears in pictures. There 14 of us ranging from 10 years to 75 years and each and everyone of us was comfortable. The home has everything you need. The kitchen is well equipped, the beds are comfortable, lots of things for entertainment. It is close to Yellowstone park and other area attractions. Matt the property owner is amazing. He helped us out and was always readily available and responsive. My son forgot his AirPods at the property and Matt went and looked for them and mailed them to us. The property location is perfect. It has beautiful views all around and the deck and bridge on the creek is my favorite. We loved lighting the fire pit at night and enjoying under the stars.

Family Vacation 2023

We were a family of 14, including 8 grandkids ages 4-23. We were looking for a large rural property for our family and Lion’s Ledge provided exactly that. This property is located in a beautiful location high in the foothills of the Gallatin Mountains above the Yellowstone River. The property was immaculate and provided every amenity we were looking for. I would say you need to be comfortable with wildlife and taxidermy to stay here, which our family certainly is. The house is full of wildlife mounts from around the world which in our opinion added to the ruggedness and beauty of the house but it likely would not fit everyone’s taste. Our Host was very easy to communicate with and helpful in every way. We enjoyed our time spent at Lion’s Ledge and would not hesitate to stay there again.

Montana Paradise

House was very well appointed with comfortable furniture, comfortable beds, fully stocked kitchen in pans, spices, and commodities, The Bar refrigerator provided great space for drinks for adults and kids. Outdoor grill was superb as were the sitting areas outside, Despite the loss of the Tom Miner Creek Bridge, the house remained easy to reach. Local activities are at 15% of normal capacity so we could do everything we desired without fighting crowds or plying for reservations. A great vacation spot with a very supportive host.

Lions Ledge - June 4 thru 11th, 2022

A perfect 10 sums it up! Thanks to Matt Klumpp who was an awesome host during our stay. This home is absolutely gorgeous and will accommodate a large group very well. Matt goes beyond expectations to provide what guests might need during their stay, unlike most VRBO properties. His generosity to his guests does not go unnoticed , and should be emphasized if you are considering this property. The location is about 35 minutes from the Gardiner entrance to Yellowstone. Thanks Matt for a great time! we really enjoyed our stay, and please stay in touch.

Dream vacation in our dream home!

It will be hard for us to put into words how happy we were staying at the Lion's Ledge. The pictures do not do this place justice. It is 100 times better than we thought it would be. The moment we walked in through the door we were in awe. Everything was bigger, everything was nicer, everything was better than we could have ever imagined. The house was immaculately clean and organized. The kitchen had all the luxuries and amenities you could dream of. It was extremely well stocked with beautiful dishware and cookware. It had everything we would ever need. You name it, it was in this kitchen. Diane even bought us an electric tea kettle because we had asked if there was a tea kettle. The great room is huge with extremely comfortable furniture, a big tv, and dining room tables. We all could have just stayed in this room alone and been very comfortable. The master bedrooms were gorgeous. We had the room with the Posturepedic king sized bed, walk in closet and a huge bathroom with our own washer and dryer. It had direct access through patio doors to a beautiful deck with a great view. We couldn't have been happier. The rest of our family took the other beautiful main floor master and the two upstairs bedrooms. Everyone was more than happy with the room they had. Every bedroom was perfect. There was even another nice bedroom downstairs that we didn't end up using. This place is huge. The game room is great with the pool table and ping pong table, games for the kids and a great dvd selection for the tv. There was plenty of comfortable outdoor seating on multiple sides of the house. The walk down to the deck over the creek was a great bonus that we enjoyed multiple times. We were visited by deer on a few days and drove down the road on multiple mornings to see at least 25 grizzly and black bears in the fields. That was one of the best things about our trip. Perfectly located for Yellowstone National Park. We made multiple trips and saw Elk, Bison, Coyotes, Badgers, Pronghorn, Magpies and Moose. This was nothing short of our dream vacation in our dream home. Diane was a fantastic host. She met us shortly after we arrived and gave us a quick review of the house. From the second I booked the place to the day we left she was available within minutes if we had any questions. Her knowledge of the area was extremely helpful, and she made several suggestions that made our trip better than it would have been. BEST VACATION EVER! Thank you, Diane!!!

Paradise

This was the absolute perfect place. Inside and out! The comfortable sitting areas, the huge picture windows and the giant bedrooms made for time together and plenty of room for time apart. The kitchen was perfectly supplied, including every spice, plus all the basics and more, and even sharp knives. The grocery store in Emigrant has everything, so no need to stock up before that. The back porch accommodated our large group for evening chats. A second fridge in the wet bar area held our drinks. The proximity to Yellowstone made for easy travel, and getting up early paid off in seeing wolves and grizzlies in the park. This is THE place. Quiet. Huge. Comfortable. Gorgeous.

Montana’s Best Kept Secret

From the moment we arrived we were in heaven! Matt was the most amazing, attentive and accommodating host - even met us when we checked in to give a tour, complete with suggestions and hints for the property! This cabin will absolutely blow your mind, the listing photos DO NOT do it justice. We loved every inch of the place, especially the kitchen/grill/etc as we are all foodies and this was an important amenity. There were only 7 of us this time but the place could have easily fit twice as many…WiFi was adequate, we barely used the giant TV or the downstairs game room - being able to just be together and enjoy the massive space and fellowship was priceless! Easy access from Bozeman and great proximity to Yellowstone NP. We could have stayed exclusively at cabin with enough provisions and been content to simply hike the property, enjoy sunsets from the back deck or lounge on the many comfy seats inside! Read the guest book while there for more great ideas, listen to the locals esp Matt for best spots to see wildlife and always take along some bear spray!! And so many hummingbirds, close enough to touch, another nice touch!!!!! We are already planning our next visit to this home away from home…best moment was on our last night watching that black bear meander through the back yard, wow! Can’t thank you enough for the most incredible stay of all time!!!

Wonderful Property!!

Gorgeous and spacious house! There were 11 of us and we had room to spare! Every little amenity was thought of…coolers, bear spray, sunscreen, toiletries, well stocked kitchen accessories, fishing poles..the list went on and on. The nicest house we ever rented for sure! Only 20 minutes from Yellowstone it was very convenient. The guys were able to fish just a short way down from the house. We enjoyed watching the dozens of hummingbirds outside the windows on the feeders. We didn’t see any wildlife but perhaps we werent there at the correct time of day but we saw plenty in the park! The only things I would suggest adding would be a clothes basket or two and more towels and washcloths. 10 out of 10 for sure!

We enjoyed driving to nearby Gardiner to access Yellowstone and walk the shops and to Emigrant to eat. Everything is about 20 minutes from the house.

Lion's Ledge must be Heaven

Our family had an absolutely incredible, relaxing, and memorable time at the Lion's Ledge. Everything about the house and our host, Matt, blew all of our expectations away. It was the perfect place to get take it all in and spend peaceful quality time with the family. Between the mountains views and the sounds of the creek, I really did not want or have to go inside. But, once you step inside, you have an incredible living-like-a-royalty Great Room with fantastic & comfortable furniture. The Bedrooms were also incredibly spacious and comfortable. It really had everything our family would ever want or need...(plus inside you still have great mountain view points, the majestic sounds of the Tom Miner creek, as well as hummingbirds at almost every window). The Lion's Ledge is exceptionally well maintained, clean, and perfect for the Montana experience, we absolutely enjoyed every thing about the place. We all decided that it was a dream home type of property...layout was perfect for the adults and kids to make many memories. I can't thank Matt enough for all of his suggestions and help throughout the week. It was over & beyond. Looking forward to potentially meeting Diane the next time!
