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.

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!

Great location, great accommodations, better than advertised.

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.

Mountain luxury at its best!

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!

Amazing!

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.

Gorgeous home to make lasting memories!

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.
