    The house is great for large parties. The bed set up with the queen bunks were great for siblings. The beds were a little too soft for our liking though. The house was gorgeous and had anything you needed for large parties. Perfect location for entering Yellowstone and going into town but staying far away from the crowds. We got to see a mama deer and her twin babies zooming back and forth in the houses backyard one morning.

    We were absolutely thrilled with this Vrbo! It was so beautiful, clean, and spacious! The location was perfect and so close to the West Yellowstone gate with all the FUN that area has to offer. The kitchen was awesome and had everything we could think of to make delicious meals. The rooms were large and comfortable. The linens and restroom's were impeccably clean. We loved that everyone in our party had their own restroom facility. We ALL loved the house so much we’d love to come back and just stay the weekend again for the relaxing environment and to enjoy the hot tub. Thank you to the host for the wonderful stay! We loved our time and cannot wait to come back! We will definitely rent from you again!

    We spent 7 nights at this house in Island Park, ID. It’s just 15 to 20 minutes from West Yellowstone, MT, and the West Entrance to Yellowstone. The kitchen is huge and has 2 dishwashers and has room for 4 people cooking and preparing meals together. The bedrooms and bathrooms were comfortable and well equipped. The out door dining was great for our group. The children really enjoyed being all together in the large kids bunk room! I highly recommend this property.

    This spacious home could not have been better situated for our Yellowstone family vacation. It also contained everything we needed for our family of 12 ranging from age 1 to 72. Loved the hot tub for relaxing at the end of each day in the park.

    We had a large group of family members ranging from 4-74 years in age. The house was just lovely—pictures didn’t do it justice! It’s in a small neighborhood yet feels secluded. We enjoyed using the outdoor dining table and had morning coffee and evening dinners there. The kitchen was well stocked with all sorts of kitchen gadgets/appliances. There’s also several cans of bear spray you can borrow so no need to purchase your own. The house only 12-15 mins from West Yellowstone so entrance to the park is easy—just be sure to go early and have your passes prepaid. The property manager was very responsive and kind. I highly recommend this home if you’ve got a large group (especially one with little ones). The thought they’ve put into it to make it feel like a home away from home are apparent and we couldn’t be happier with our stay!

    This location is PERFECT as a home base for larger groups with easy access to WEST and the entrance to the park. Too many fine details to name but this home has it all! We especially enjoyed the wide open kitchen and dining area; everyone could congregate, interact, cook eat and drink, together. The kitchen was very well stocked. After a long day in the park it was a great place to prepare a meal and catch up on the day’s events. Moreover, there were also great outdoor spaces with a deck on the second floor and a patio/hot tub outside of the first floor. The house was set up by professionals; there was an information kiosk giving pertinent information including, WiFi password, local restaurants and events. Really don’t have enough accolades to say about this property! If you have a large group and wish to visit the park, there’s no better choice!!! Thank you! Gregory Cadman M.D.

    We stayed here with 6 adults and 4 kids (2-8 years old). It was an easy 15 minute drive to the west entrance of Yellowstone National Park. The house had great accommodations, was clean and the property management group was extremely fast in their responses. Highly recommend.
