This home was perfect for our group of 15.Plenty of room with super comfy beds. Noise did not travel to bedrooms to disturb the early retirees and late risers which is a big plus. It was easy to find and is an excellent location for our days at Yellowstone and is an easy drive to the Tetons. The well-stocked kitchen has more than enough dishes, pots, pans & utensils. Our host was quick to respond with our questions Our stay could not have been better. We all highly recommend this home.

Disliked: Cleanliness
Plenty of space for our group and comfortable beds. Can't beat the location for ease of access to the Park. However, the floors of this rental were not clean upon arrival. Socks and feet were black after some walking around and there was visible debris in the grout. Multiple windows were missing screens and a handful would not open all the way. Toilet paper on the hanger was also wet with cleaner so was not useable. Hottub was maintenanced with no heads up during our stay that someone would be coming over to do so. Pots and pans are very worn and are need of a replacement. 2 kitchens but neither had everything we needed so had to search both for certain items. We had to be careful around the firepit as there was an abundance of stinging nettles all over. This house has potential to be something really special, but needs some maintenance.

5 Stars – Spacious, Comfortable, and Perfect for a Group Vacation!

We had an amazing stay at this property during our trip to Yellowstone and the Grand Tetons! Our group of 12 adults had plenty of space—everyone had their own room or retreat to relax in, and the layout made it feel open and comfortable for gathering together.The kitchen was well-stocked, and we were pleasantly surprised by the generous selection of spices and pantry basics already available. Definitely check what's on hand before buying groceries—you may save yourself a few items!The home was very nice and comfortable overall. While we gave a 4-star cleanliness rating, it’s worth noting that it wasn’t due to anything being dirty—it was more about the lack of basic cleaning supplies. A broom and dustpan would’ve gone a long way with a big group like ours. Also, if you plan on using the sofa beds, be sure to let the host know ahead of time, as there was no extra bedding provided for those.All in all, a fantastic place to stay—would absolutely return and recommend for large families or friend groups looking to explore the parks with comfort and space!

Family Trip to Yellowstone

The space was perfect. Everyone was able to spread out and have their own space. Having 2 kitchens and 2 laundry stations was wonderful. Kids loved playing pool and ping pong. Location was great, close enough to West Yellowstone, and many beautiful sights in ID. Communications were clear and easy, and everything was as described in the listing.

Family Reunion - West Yellowstone

We had 8 adults and 5 grandchildren (3 teens) get together for a family reunion and visits to Yellowstone National Park. The house worked very well for our gathering. There are plenty of bedrooms and common spaces where people can do things together. The location was just a short drive to the west entrance of Yellowstone Park - where we spent a part of every day. While the park was our main focus, we also enjoyed a family horseback ride which is also near the house. And of course most every day some of us stopped at the souvenir shops near the west entrance. The kitchen had plenty of dishes and the like to make meals. For us it was mostly breakfasts, and packing lunches for the day. There are a number of really fun restaurants in the area so we took advantage of those at dinner. One night was Chinese and another was Mexican, and there were plenty of other choices as well. We would definitely recommend this property for family reunions like ours, or just a large group of friends. Thank You !!

perfect for our couple days at yellowstone

Although we stayed in the house for 2 nights, we were only in the house for about 3 waking hours - before and after long days at Yellowstone. The house was perfect for our needs - numerous beds/bedrooms, fully stocked coffee makers, clean, ping pong table, and location not far from the west gate of yellowstone. Check in and check out was simple. We will stay here again next time we go to Yellowstone.
