Our family of 15 (9 adults, 6 kids) stayed here for our vacation to Yellowstone. This house worked out perfectly for us! Plenty of beds for everyone, and we were only about 30 minutes from the west gate of the park. The cabin is about 4 miles from the highway so it was very quiet and peaceful. There were plenty of games there for us to play. We would definitely stay here again.
First of all I want to say that the family has a wonderful time. ButâŠ. The pictures were deceiving! It looked like there was no one else around us and showed a creek nearby. There were homes on both sides of us and no creek to be found.When we first saw it we both commented it didnât look like the pictures. Upon entering it had a bad musty smell in the entryway. The rest of the home smelled fine.It was not as clean as we had thought it should be for a 5 star property! The carpeting had stains all over and things were dusty. We expected some dust because it is off a dirt road. The rooms were clean for the most part and it was the perfect size for our family. However, every sofa was ripped along the top!!Outside the deck was inches thick with dust and we had to clean every chair just to sit on them. Again we expected some dust considering where the property was located. I just thought someone would have hosed off or swept the deck prior to us arriving.As for location it was only about 30 minutes from the west entrance to Yellowstone and there were amenities nearby, grocery store and gas. So not too bad. Just expect a lot of traffic when trying to get into the park.Overall I would give the property a 7/10. It has everything we needed for cooking and baking and games for the kids. The property management team has been great to work with. A little better job on cleaning and fixing the ripped sofas and I would have rated it at least a 9/10.
We thoroughly enjoyed the family time we spent here. The kitchen was well stocked and very functional for big family needs. Plenty of spots to sleep and spread out. If the dining room table could talk, I imagine it would relate some wonderful stories! Things we would change: update lighting in bathrooms especially; The back steps are unstable..need securing to the porch. The swing was a hit with the kids, as well as the grills, however guests should be reminded to clean them after they are used. Overall a great place!
