We booked the house for a 7 day family vacation for 9 people, three generations from grandparents to grandchildren. The location was awesome with wonderful views enjoyed from the large deck. Conveniently located to make several day trips into Yellowstone, rafting and horseback riding near Gardiner. Really nicely decorated inside, with everything we needed. A nice surprise was the backyard which the we used for numerous games of soccer. Tanya, the local host, was very nice and responsive to questions, and even brought us eggs! Highly recommend this property.

This is the third time we have stayed at this property, and they never disappoint. The location is wonderful, not too far from Yellowstone, and still remote. Just what we wanted as we live in large cities.

Beautiful house! Elk Run was perfect for our Yellowstone vacation - close enough to the park but far enough from the crowds to give peace and quiet. The layout of the house is perfect for families and it was very well stocked. Tanya was a wonderful manager and responded quickly to any questions.

We loved hosting you in our Elk Run Ranch home. So happy that you had a wonderful time exploring the area. There is so much to do and see, yet if you are in need of some relaxation, this is the perfect place to experience that too. We feel our property manager, Tanya, is the best. She is very knowledgeable about the area and she has many suggestions on what to see and do with the amount of time you have at our home.
