Large enough for our annual 3-family gathering, with a total of 13. Plenty of room for us when we came back to the house from the parks. Check-in was easy. Kitchen met all our needs. Home is just a short drive to West Yellowstone. Great spot to be close enough to town and west entrance, but also out enough for amazing star gazing!

So glad you enjoyed the home. It is one of my favorite, especially since it’s so convenient Yellowstone, grocery stores, restaurants, etc. and yet still in a mountainous area away from the town. I hope you’re able to come back soon.
Perfect for a large family and celebrations.
We loved it .
It was perfect for us.
Close to Yellowstone Park.
We will refer this awesome place to other families.
Thank you !
Everything was dully stocked, kitchen was great. Property has no AC that should have been mentioned. When you're in the kitchen ansd someone flushes the toilet upstairs you can hear the turds coming down
Property was as advertised with plenty of space for our group of 13. Kitchen was great for gathering, cooking and dining and was well equipped with utensils, gadets, dinnerware and cookware. There was lots of spices and basics so check the cupboards before you shop! The 3rd floor family room gave us a place to play ping pong and games we brought(We did not use any tv's). Our only miss was the outdoor firepit, located under trees on a slope with no seating. We would have liked to enjoy a night or two around it but made do on the porch. Overall an excellent property and would recommend it for any large group!

Nice property but a couple of cautions
The property advertised a high chair but there was none. The property manager did not respond to my message asking about the high chair. We really needed this.The property photos showed a different BBQ grill than the one provided. It needed pellets and fortunately, one of had some in their vehicle.Other than those two items, the property was great, well-equipped kitchen, clean and well suited to our group.

So sorry about not noticing your question about the high chair. it is located in the walk in area behind the stairs that go from the kitchen to the second level.
The second "gas" grill you were looking for is located in the garage. I didn't see a message asking about that. Most guests park in the garage then come in through the kitchen door from the garage and see the grill. Sorry
We loved the property. Kitchen was well stocked with all needed items to cook large family meals. The 4 levels gave us room for the entire extended family.
It was really hot while we were there, so no AC made sleeping a challenge. But we realize that is an unusual occurrence. We had trouble with wi fi-so we didn't get check out instructions until after we left. So we didn't put the towels in the washing machine, etc. Would have liked something (maybe a notebook) giving details, etc.
BUT it was a great place and we would definitely stay there again!

I'm so glad you enjoyed your stay and your group is welcome back any time!
Property was not as described, basement apartment was unusable because of unsafe outside only entry . Although clean , not as nice as pictured. Several items that were listed as included were not ! Ex. Grill , dvd player cable. Communication with host was nonexistent after initial texts! Overall would not use VRBO again ..

I am very disappointed in your comments.
I have responded to every question you sent me, either by a phone call phone, text or through VRBO.
You never mention a concern about the basement apartment.
The basement apartment is exactly as noted on VRBO. A beautiful, private basement apartment that is accessed through a private exterior door. Our guests love this for members of their group that want living quarters with its own kitchen, family room, bathroom, washer and dryer and TV.
The access is just a described and shown, a concrete pavers walkway to the daylight basement door. Hundreds of guests have used the walkway and basement apartment without any concerns.
Regarding a HDMI cord. Why did you expect one to be provide for a DVD player. I do not provide and DVD player, I do not have one listed in the amenities..
I have several start TV's you can stream any movies you have a subscription for, Netflix, Prime, Disney etc.
The Grill is in the garage, the garage has a door straight from the kitchen. If you could not find it you could have asked??
We had 10 people total, there was plenty of room and privacy with great gathering places for everyone to hang out for breakfast and after a long day of exploring to watch a movie.
Kitchen was great - they have everything we could want for cooking, including spices.
Check inventory in the house before you go out to buy groceries or anything - we ended up donating to the already started bear spray collection, and there was long lasting dry goods like PB, Nutella, etc...
Internet was good when connected, the wifi inside the house though wasn't very stable. TVs and devices would often get kicked off, we'd have to typically restart the TVs once or twice to finish a standard movie. Not a deal breaker, but know that going in!

Why they chose this property
This neighborhood is the perfect location for visiting Yellowstone National Park. It's only 12 miles from the west entrance of the park and only10 minutes from the local grocery store. The house is also far enough away from the highway that you don't hear any cars and you wake up to incredible views right from the kitchen window and front deck.
