This is our second time staying at Our Montana House. The house is so well stocked you will not need to bring anything but food and your family. Fran has all of the books, hiking maps and info you will need about the park on the book shelf by the kitchen/den area so you don't need to bring these either. We loved coming back "home" after our long days in the park. The house is spotlessly clean when you arrive and is very well taken care of. If there are any problems Fran has a caretaker who responds very quickly to any questions or concerns you may have. We highly recommend this home - and Yellowstone as always is a world unto itself.

What a perfect location for daily drives into Yellowstone! The home is comfortable, well equipped and located in a peaceful neighborhood just far enough from everything! The owner wrote a wonderful seven day plan for visiting Yellowstone....included great tips! There were coolers in the garage that we could use---so convenient! It was great to come back to "Our Montana House" after long days in the park! This was an absolutely wonderful family vacation! THANKS!!!!

My husband & I (along with our Australian Shepherd) spent 3 nights in September 2010 during our honeymoon in Yellowstone and the Grand Tetons. The house was very clean, tastefully decorated and had lots of amenities. The owners e-mailed us valuable information beforehand so we felt well prepared. The check-in and check-out went smoothly because they were so organized. There was also a binder of useful info at the house, such as good restaurants and where to get groceries, as well as recommended activities. The house is about 10 minutes from the West Yellowstone entrance. It is in a very quiet & peaceful neighborhood. It was a great place to come back to after long days exploring Yellowstone. We would highly recommend this house.

Our family, including 2 adult children and their partners, were planning a vacation to Yellowstone and wanted a "home away from home" where we could stretch out and be comfortable . We found the perfect spot in renting this place. We appreciated all the conveniences--fully equipped kitchen to laundry to linens; not to mention satellite TV, stereo, and a fully stocked bookcase. The home is in immaculate condition, with loads of charm. The location is excellent, in a quiet neighborhood with a lovely view of the mountains, and about 10 minutes from town and the west gate into the park. Fran is great to work with and provides his own guide book and other info to make your visit to the Yellowstone area the best possible. Highly recommended!

My family stayed in this house for 5 nights in August, 2009. The house was exactly as stated and Fran the owner was extremely helpful and actually helped us plan our itinerary for our stay. Only a few miles from West Yellowstone entrance and very close to a little rodeo that my kids really enjoyed. House had everything we needed. Note that there is no photo on this website of the view from the front of the house which is unfortunate as it is very pretty. Beats any hotel stay and we will be back for sure!

Owner response:Thanks Andy. I will be posting a photo of the view from our front porch shortly. Glad you all had a Great Time! Fran G

My family vacationed at this fantastic home for 5 days in June 2008. It provided the perfect base camp for our exploration of Yellowstone. Close to everything yet removed from the feel of being a tourist. Definitely a home away from home! The house is wonderfully spacious and comfortably furnished which was great since there was 6 of us including two active young boys. We took full advantage of the grill and kitchen facilities by cooking in for breakfast and supper. I would recommend purchasing most of your food supplies prior to West Yellowstone. We found the local grocery stores to be less than spectacular in their selection. Prior to arriving as well as at the house, Fran provided us with lots of information on things to do and see. There was even a rodeo just down the road held several nights a week. The kids loved it! I've told many friends about this house and when we return to Yellowstone we'll definitely be staying here!

We stayed in this house for four too short days. The house is a wonderful place to come home to after a day at Yellowstone. It has everything that you can wish for. You don't have to bring any supplies with you except your own personal items. You don't even need travel information since Fran provides lots of travel and hiking guides for you to use. The house was immaculate, the beds comfortable, the bathrooms and supplies terrific and the kitchen is fully stocked with anything you may need. We felt like we were at home in Fran's Yellowstone house and we would highly recommend this house to anyway visiting Yellowstone. It beats any hotel there is!!!

We visited West Yellowstone in August 2007 and selected this home on the VRBO website. For sure, what you see is what you get! It was a very nice, new, roomy, clean and comfortable home and we were delighted with it. It was a nice feeling to walk in and just feel right at home. The owner definitely goes above and beyond to make your stay comfortable and provides many amenities. It was nice not having to to go out and buy a cooler for our many picnic lunches, and even had chairs available to use on our streamside picnics, as they are provided. Having a washer and dryer was great also. We liked the fact that it was close to town and easily accessible to the park and the airport, if you happen to be flying in. Also, suggested itineraries and an abundance of literature was available to help with daily activity choices. We definitely hope to visit again one day with some of our family.

We had the opportunity to stay in this cabin the week of Memorial Day 2007. This was a last minute trip with our 7 kids. This house was amazing. We could not believe how clean and comfortable it was. It was decorated beautifully. Close to the park, but away from busy West Yellowstone. We hit the grocery store and ate at the cabin all week! The kids loved it and it was very spacious for 1600 sf. We slept great all nine of us! We will definately be back!

This modern home (with a rustic feel) made our Yellowstone experience absolutely perfect. Located just a few minutes from the hustle and bustle of the West entrance to the Park, Our Montana Home offered us a sanctuary after each incredible day at the pristine preserve of Yellowstone Park. From the ample fluffy towels to the grill and comfy beds we felt immediately at welcomed and at home. We were grateful for the privacy this location offered and the home was absolutely immaculate. The home owner is a dream to work with and was extremely resourceful in knowledge of the area. This saved us a great deal of time in planning our daily itinerary. I would highly recommend this property to my friends. Enjoy!
