RUSTIC Elegance ELEVATED! Hot Tub and more! Only 10 Minutes from Yellowstone NP!

This place exceeded all of our expectations! It was AMAZING! Super clean, tons of space, and the location was perfect. The best place we have ever stayed at!

My husband and I took all of our kids and grandkids to Yellowstone Park. This home was beautiful and 100% perfect for our family! Our three adult son's, their wives and our grandkids were absolutely blown away by Ponderosa Lodge! Not only was it luxurious, and gorgeous, the layout of this home was perfect. 5 beautiful bedrooms, all with awesome master baths, all king beds and a picture perfect kitchen! We had a fabulous time!! This home is worth every penny and more. We would stay here again, in a heartbeat!! We made such wonderful memories which we all will hold in our hearts for a lifetime!!Thank you so much Rand and your wife (so sorry, all my correspondence was with Rand) for opening this beautiful home to our family! I could go on and on, but I must stop here!! I would give this home 10 stars if I could!!!

Amazing stay in Montana! We had plenty of space for 8 adults and 5 grandchildren. The house is excellent inside and out! Beautifully decorated, well stocked roomy kitchen, wonderful beds and great outdoor space. We had a great 4 days. Rand was wonderful to work with and answered several questions before our stay. Would highly recommend! Thank you for sharing your home with us. We had a wonderful family vacation! Greg- TN

Ponderosa Lodge is a gorgeous property full of amenities and necessities that make your stay exceptional! It is spacious and beautiful! The bedrooms were comfortable and well attended with a gorgeous spa-like bathroom! I especially liked the three bed kid’s room with bathroom and game room! We will definitely stay here again when visiting Yellowstone! It is a fabulous property!

Wow, what a beautiful well appointed home in West Yellowstone! It was the perfect place for 10 adults to gather for the week. I absolutely loved the spacious floor plan and the long dining table was a bonus. And the adult children enjoyed the game room and the hot tub! It was the perfect home to return to after a long day in Yellowstone park...so relaxing! Would definitely stay there again!

The house is beautiful with attractive and comfortable furniture. The hot tub and games were big attractions for the kids. The kitchen was well appointed and easy to use. It was great to have access to the washer and dryer. We enjoyed the privacy and solitude of the location. Rand was there to greet us and show us around. We really enjoyed our stay. Thank you!

Unbelievable home and great place to stay close to everything you need! Cant wait to get back to the mountains! Cant beat this place!

If you want a fabulous vacation… you have found it! The house is phenomenal and Rand is so accommodating! He makes sure everything is perfect! I will definitely be back and I will only rent with Rand!

We had an absolutely wonderful stay with Wow Yellowstone and can’t recommend them highly enough. We rented both Montocola Lodge and Ponderosa Lodge, and they were truly spectacular. The homes are beautifully maintained and incredibly well-equipped — every kitchen appliance you could possibly need, fully stocked, and thoughtfully set up for a comfortable stay. We were literally sledding right outside the front door — it felt like stepping into our own private winter wonderland. Rand was extremely helpful throughout the process, and he connected us with Ernesto, who went above and beyond by helping us stock the houses with groceries and anything else we needed ahead of our arrival. That level of service made the trip completely stress-free. It was an amazing vacation from start to finish, and we would absolutely stay with Wow Yellowstone again. Highly recommend.

Beautiful, luxurious, clean and well equipped. The setting was filled with pine trees, fresh air and could not be more beautiful. The Lodge is close to the west entrance to Yellowstone N.P., but close enough to avoid having to stay in town. Lots of room for everyone to have their privacy, including a private bath for each bedroom. Huge, well stocked kitchen and two refrigerators. There is a game room, large decks, hot tub, fire pit, bbq, attached garage. IT HAS EVERYTHING!

We had a great time and the property was phenomenal!A little hard to find off the main road especially in the dark so recommend better signs. The property manager guided us in over the phone.

We sincerely enjoyed our stay at Ponderosa. The house is located just 7 miles west of West Yellowstone, which made for relatively easy access to the West Entrance to Yellowstone. The house was superb and was as advertised. Well appointed kitchen and two outdoor sitting areas made this the perfect place to unwind after a long and exhilarating day in Yellowstone. Wifi was solid and supported a two hour video call without issue. We highly recommend and will try to rent on our next visit.

Beautiful home that was perfect for five couples. It had absolutely everything we needed for a wonderful three days. The hot tub was an extra perk!

Wonderful property. Close to Yellowstone Park.

The property was well appointed and beautifully furnished. It felt rustic and also very modern and cozy - a tough balance to achieve! We appreciated the special details, such as the table being set for our 12-person group when we arrived, and the paper products being sculpted into floral arrangements. We also appreciated that our surplus packaged food would be donated to people in need.Everyone in our party - the older adults, the teen, the kids, and the sandwich generation - enjoyed the property. The highlight was having enough space in the living room to play a game as a big group.The location was fantastic for the west entrance to Yellowstone and the features of the park nearer that entrance (e.g., Grand Prismatic and Old Faithful), but it was an extremely long day for visiting the features on the northern and eastern sides of the park (e.g., Mammoth and the Lamar Valley). Consider booking an extra night to recover from a visit to the northern and eastern sides of the park.

We had a wonderful family vacation with our kids and grandkids. The house was perfect for our group of 8 adults and 2 children. It had beautiful decor and plenty of room for everyone to have their own private space. The well stocked kitchen had everything we needed to cook for our large group. The barbecue was great for preparing our steak dinners, and we loved the outside eating area and the jacuzzi. The dining room table was beautiful and seated 12 people. It was great for family meals and playing board games each night. The bathrooms had excellent quality towels and there were plenty of them. The beds were wonderful! Great mattresses, nice linens and pillows made for a good night’s sleep for all of us.The proximity to West Yellowstone was very convenient for trips to the market, eating out, or visiting the Grizzly and Wolf Discovery Center. The Grizzly and Wolf Discovery Center was fabulous, and both the kids and the adults loved it. The proximity to Yellowstone National Park, provided us with a fun filled and packed 7 days, that included kayaking, white water rafting, horseback riding, and hiking. I highly recommend this property.

We had a fabulous time at the Ponderosa Lodge this week! The pictures of the house truly didn’t even do the place justice! Every room was impeccable. We loved the house so much we almost didn’t want to go to Yellowstone (but we did go to the park). Want to come back soon!

We had a great time staying in west Yellowstone. There were 11 of us in this cabin. There was plenty of room The kitchen has top rate appliances and any cooking tool you might need. It was well furnished. It’s close to the west entrance to Yellowstone. We couldn’t have found a more suitable place to stay than this. We would stay here again and again.

Great location and wonderful home. It was comfortable, had every amenity you can think of and very beautiful! I can’t say enough about this house and the owner was great to work with. I highly recommend this home as a rental for a group or family vacation.

This was our first VRBO. It was the best experience we could’ve asked for. The house was beautiful and roomy. With 14 people in the house there was plenty of room for all. Every bedroom had their own bathrooms. The kitchen was supplied well with cooking utensils and many spices to use. The house is located at the end of the road next to the forest so there was plenty of privacy even some deer came to visit every day. Everything we did as a family was very close by within 10 to 20 minutes. Horse trails, golfing, Yellowstone, shopping and the Grizzly and Wolf Discovery Center. Bonus was a hot tub! This place is well cared for. Highly recommend as this had a comfortable and homey feel. Thank you Rand for sharing your home.

Beautiful home, could do with a bit better how to get to house.

The Ponderosa was a wonderful base for our recent Yellowstone vacation. Close enough to all of West Yellowstone’s offerings but has the feeling of being in the forest. The host provided every thing needed including great weather. The home is extremely comfortable and is very well stocked for your needs. We have rented many vacation homes over the years and the Ponderosa ranks right of the top.

This was our whole family vacation ... 10 people ranging in age from 10 to 68. In a word: SPECTACULAR!!!The home delivered on the promise of the website. First place we've stayed that I didn't have the need to clean before we got settled. Kitchen was equipped with every gadget / appliance needed. (And we have a professional chef in the family.) Beds and pillows were so comfortable. Outdoor fire pit and hot tub were added bonuses.Rand was so gracious with every question in advance and while we were there. He provided great information for park tours, horseback riding, kayaking, rafting and the rodeo. Pride of ownership shines.The Ponderosa Lodge made our first ever trip to Yellowstone so very memorable. Priceless!!!

The Ponderosa Lodge was exactly as shown in the photos - a stunning and extremely clean property on beautiful lands. Our group enjoyed homemade meals together in the large kitchen and dining area, and loved gathering in the hot tub, back patio, living room, and movie room den. There were so many thoughtful details throughout, from the expansive kitchen amenities and games to the laundry room (with double washers and dryers!), fire pit tables, and under-counter lights in the bathrooms. A beautifully designed property all around and the owners are really nice! The one pitfall was the lack of A/C; the weather was warmer than anticipated during our trip and it was sometimes difficult to sleep in the warmer temps if we didn’t want to keep the windows open overnight. Based on our other stays in the area, seems like no A/C is pretty typical, though. All in all, we loved Ponderosa Lodge and would absolutely return. Highly recommended to anyone looking to stay within a few minutes of West Yellowstone!

This was the best property to make lasting memories with our family and friends. The home is decorated perfectly for the West Yellowstone area. It is so spacious with several common areas that allowed us to gather and recap our Yellowstone adventures. This property was well stocked with all the essentials. The owner’s communication earned him a 5/5. We love this home away from home and would definitely book again.

Every year we give our family a family vacation as a Christmas gift. Hence the need for a place for all of us to stay. This VRBO was fantastic for us, our kids and grandkids. This year there were 8 adults and 4 kids (15, 13, 11, 9). The expression on all as they walked in was priceless. Beautifully decorated and spacious. The kitchen and dining room was perfect for family meals and playing cards and games. Each bedroom is spacious and private. The family room downstairs was great for the kids - they felt they had their own apartment. Just too many great things to say about this rental and not enough space :) A great time by all and close to Yellowstone and pick up place for our Winter Tour w/Seeyellowstone Tours. Again Thank you.

Everything was very nice. Only challenge was no broadcast tv during NFL playoffs. Not a huge problem, just unexpected.

We had a wonderful time at the Ponderosa Lodge! It was perfect for our 2 families (total of 9) traveling together. We all said it was one of the nicest vacation homes we've ever stayed in. We wished we could have stayed longer! Everything was very clean, well-stocked and the host provided great directions. Highly recommend staying here!

Our groups chose the Ponderosa Lodge for our travel to the West Yellowstone area. Our first impression of the property was how beautiful and spacious it was in the photos. Then after reading pervious traveler reviews it quickly jumped to the top of our list of places to stay. We were just amazed at the attention to detail, the amenities and all the thought that was put into the cabin. The cleanliness and preparation rivaled most 5star hotels we have stayed in. Even the kitchen was completely stocked with every appliance we could have needed. There was plenty of space for all our travelers, room to relax and spend time together and even have full dinners at the luxurious dining room table. Rand, the owner, left a complete stay guide which fully explained, not only all the amenities that were offered, but even how to properly care for the home, the location of items that may be needed....right down to the remote controls for each room. We will definitely come back to stay at the Ponderosa Lodge again!

We are a group of friends who are visiting national parks, and Ponderosa Lodge was everything and more that we were looking for during our Yellowstone visit. It was beautiful , spacious, had everything we possibly needed, and the surrounding view was stunning. It was close to West Yellowstone/Yellowstone, had top notch amenities, including the hot tub, which looked out over the forest. All of our friends agreed we would return to your home in a minute!! Thanks so much for giving us the opportunity to enjoy your Lodge!!
