Loved this VRBO! The host was amazing and called me and quickly responded to any questions. Thank you for having Montana flour for us to use - we went to the store just to get more ingredients to make pancakes and use the flour hehe. It was very peaceful and quiet in that area. Last night we were there I saw a moose run by in the very early morning! So amazing and beautiful!

The location was perfect. An easy 10 minute drive to West Yellowstone and the entrance to YNP. The layout of the house was perfect with the master on the opposite side of the other two bedrooms and bathroom. Large laundry room and even a full size cooler to use for our long days in the park. Sunsets over the mountains were spectacular. We couldn’t find a few things and the host got right back with us. Thanks for a fantastic stay.

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!

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.

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.
