THE ULTIMATE MONTANA EXPERIENCE!!!

Just returned from a 3 family reunion (7 adults and 4 kids). The house is clean and well maintained especially the bathrooms. Loved the full size washer and dryer. They also stock the house with basic staples such as paper towels, toilet papers and plenty of towels! There was plenty of room for all of us to spread out. The kitchen is large, well stocked with dishes and utensils that making cooking a breeze. Very large refrigerator too as well as a smaller refrigerator in the bar area in the living room. Outdoor gas grill was very nice too! Big dining table that sits 8 plus two counter areas to put the kids or other adults. All of the pictures are accurate and really do not do the property justice. The view of the lake is wonderful and it can be seen as you do the dishes as well as from the front porch. Do note that there is a 2 lane road between the house and the lake that the pictures do not show. You can hear traffic at night from the third floor bedroom (if you have the windows open) although traffic is very light on the road. The bunk room worked great for the kids but could use a bit more lighting since there are no windows in the room it got very dark at night. We loved that the house was 14 miles from Yellowstone and the town of West Yellowstone because it was quiet and away from tourist central. . But it does make going into town to the two small grocery stores a bit of a task (30 min trip). Recommend that you stock up as much as possible in Bozeman because the two grocery stores are very small and very expensive! The caretakers (Wes, Moria and their dog Willa) are great hosts and able to answer questions about the area. The house is a 1 hour drive from Old Faithful inside of the park. We used Montana Whitewater in Gallatin Gateway (1 hr and 15 min drive north) for rafting. Highly recommend them. Also do the Yellow Bus Tour inside of Yellowstone. For an awesome breakfast (if you don't want to cook) drive further down the lake about 7 miles to an RV/Cabin area. Just ask Wes. Huge breakfast portions and view of the river!
