Rustic, interesting, authentic, kitschy, asymmetrical, awkwardly fun, dated.
I found it hard to reconcile the bill with a carpeted bathroom, which is my own personal secret horror. To be fair, the carpeted bathroom was spacious and adequate. But to rent to group after group...? It left me with the sense that proximity to Yellowstone covers all sins. Which is probably true in the rental business.
The indoor space of the main unit is friendly and usable, giving a large group room to spread out and diversify their activities, which was exactly what we needed with two large families with lots of kids. I took stars from the "accuracy of the description" as I found the outdoor space, including the garden, which was more just some wild-ish landscaping of awkward space, to be less usable and amenable than advertised. Other than a good sized porch with grill and hot-tub, I found the lot quite small compared to the impression the online description gave me, and the proximity of the other structures (owner's house, manager's trailer) meant that being outdoors did not appeal as one would hope. The studio space was of a far inferior quality to the main space, and had a weird vibe, as did being warned that a crowd would be using the yard one of the evenings we were there for a "meditation." As for the outdoor space, the owner seems to want both to have a rental property and a personal property, and it's just not that big.
The decor is compelling and coffee table books and taxonomy and stone and logs tell a fascinating, appealing, unpretentious story of life in the West. The hot tub was lovely and the views serene. The kitchen is completely unique, and while not exactly well-appointed, has undeniable charm. There's a lot to be said for this rental. But the carpeted bathroom overwhelms other better memories with shivers in my spine. Might just be me.
