Just ok

Property was not as described, basement apartment was unusable because of unsafe outside only entry . Although clean , not as nice as pictured. Several items that were listed as included were not ! Ex. Grill , dvd player cable. Communication with host was nonexistent after initial texts! Overall would not use VRBO again ..

Nice property but a couple of cautions

The property advertised a high chair but there was none. The property manager did not respond to my message asking about the high chair. We really needed this.The property photos showed a different BBQ grill than the one provided. It needed pellets and fortunately, one of had some in their vehicle.Other than those two items, the property was great, well-equipped kitchen, clean and well suited to our group.

Property was as advertised with plenty of space for our group of 13. Kitchen was great for gathering, cooking and dining and was well equipped with utensils, gadets, dinnerware and cookware. There was lots of spices and basics so check the cupboards before you shop! The 3rd floor family room gave us a place to play ping pong and games we brought(We did not use any tv's). Our only miss was the outdoor firepit, located under trees on a slope with no seating. We would have liked to enjoy a night or two around it but made do on the porch. Overall an excellent property and would recommend it for any large group!

Great family gathering spot right by Yellowstone

We had 10 people total, there was plenty of room and privacy with great gathering places for everyone to hang out for breakfast and after a long day of exploring to watch a movie. Kitchen was great - they have everything we could want for cooking, including spices. Check inventory in the house before you go out to buy groceries or anything - we ended up donating to the already started bear spray collection, and there was long lasting dry goods like PB, Nutella, etc... Internet was good when connected, the wifi inside the house though wasn't very stable. TVs and devices would often get kicked off, we'd have to typically restart the TVs once or twice to finish a standard movie. Not a deal breaker, but know that going in!

Great place..

We loved the property. Kitchen was well stocked with all needed items to cook large family meals. The 4 levels gave us room for the entire extended family. It was really hot while we were there, so no AC made sleeping a challenge. But we realize that is an unusual occurrence. We had trouble with wi fi-so we didn't get check out instructions until after we left. So we didn't put the towels in the washing machine, etc. Would have liked something (maybe a notebook) giving details, etc. BUT it was a great place and we would definitely stay there again!
