Home Sweet Montana

This property is amazing. There were no surprises, it is “as advertised.” Our family of four (adult children) had plenty of room to spread out and relax after hiking and exploring in Yellowstone National Park. Hank’s Chop House in West Yellowstone provided a delicious meal out. (We did most meals in the cabin which was fully equipped.We would love to return in the future.

Not what I expected for price

Pros: convenient to town, comfortable beds well equipped kitchen, nice decor. Cons: in subdivision not secluded like images seem, property is overall much smaller than images appear, unable to use upstairs TV due to no remote. Road to property was very difficult to navigate with multiple pot holes. Small cars will have difficulty. View is limited due to neighboring homes. Neutral: Also several roof leaks throughout the home likely due to recent heavy snow/rain. Owner was contacted and had it patched temporarily.

West Glacier getaway 2022

Our cabin was very close to town and the west entrance to YNP. The cabin was furnished with everything you could need for a trip to Yellowstone. It was unseasonably hot when we were there and the cabin had air conditioning, but the upper rooms stayed warm during the night. There were ceiling fans to help with air movement. Overall, we had a great stay in the cabin.

Great Cabin for our Yellowstone adventure

Five Stars! The cabin was in a fantastic location close to West Yellowstone and the West Entrance of Yellowstone National Park - which was perfect for our stay. The house is well furnished and stocked with everything our family needed to truly enjoy our stay. Enough room to relax in the lower level family room and the top floor loft, as well as plenty of room in the bedrooms to accommodate our family of five. It offered amazing views of the surrounding mountains, and was private enough for the whole family to peacefully relax after long days touring Yellowstone. It was a benefit being so close to West Yellowstone which allowed easy access to stores, supermarkets, and restaurants. The kitchen had everything we needed to make breakfast, bagged lunches for the park, and dinner a few nights (having a grill was awesome). Above all, the residence was very clean, had great hot water for showers, and a good internet connection (which is hard in mountain areas). All in all it was an amazing stay and contributed to our overall once in a lifetime trip to Yellowstone!
