Wonderful opportunity for a family reunion
Review Submitted: September 2, 2011
Date of Stay: August 2011
We rented this home for a week for a family reunion at Yellowstone. There were 9 of us, and we all felt very comfortable and cozy. It was cheaper than a hotel, and much more comfortable, and obviously private. And the sunrise/sunset views were spectacular.
The home is located on a large lot, so our noisy kids didn't bother anybody. The home itself was beautiful, new construction. The decor was pleasant and everything was very clean. There really wasn't anything to complain about the home itself.
Everything was thought of in the home. This property is very suitable for people with young kids as the entire home is baby-proofed. There is a baby gate securing the stairs, a baby bath, a booster seat and even sippy cups and plastic baby cutlery. We didn't use any of that as our kids are older, but the owners really thought of everything.
The property management staff has been great and they're very responsive. We had a power surge during our stay which fried the coffee maker. I e-mailed the manager and within 15 minutes of me sending the e-mail there was someone at the home checking out the machine and within the hour he was back with a brand new coffee maker.
We didn't get to enjoy the deck as much in the evening because of the mosquitos, but that could be a seasonal thing. But, there were no bugs in the morning and having a coffee on that wraparound deck was so relaxing that we decided to hang out at the home instead of going to Yellowstone one day.
It is a bit of a drive to the eastern sections of the park, but you need to deal with that anytime you stay outside the park. The added comfort was well worth the drive for us.
One thing that you need to keep in mind is that you must drive your trash to a locked trash bin as there is wildlife around. While some may see this as inconvenient, we didn't feel that way. After all one of the main reasons to go to Yellowstone is to experience the wildlife and that is a small price to pay. One day we even ran into a fox on the way to the trash, so it's all good.
We highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a comfortable, pleasant, and private stay close to Yellowstone.
