This house was perfectly located for us between Bozeman and West Yellowstone. We had lots of excursions around the area and thoroughly enjoyed this location. It’s close to town but far enough a way to see lots of stars and enjoy the mountains!

The house was perfect for our family. We were 3 couples, 5 children, and 3 generations. The three bedrooms with ensuites were excellent for the 3 couples. A snow storm arrived the first of our four days here, so we spent more time at the house than we initially planned. The living area was large enough for all of us. The kitchen was large enough we could cook with ease. And the hot tub was a huge hit. I never guessed I’d play so much pickleball, foosball and ping pong with my grandchildren-what fun! And all racquets, balls etc were supplied. We didn’t use the fire pit until the last night, but it was top notch and the s’mores were great! Again, firewood etc was supplied. Communication with Kyle was easy and he responded very quickly. He was able to accommodate an early checkin request so we could put away groceries and get ready for the family to arrive. And throughout the stay he was responsive to all questions. We use VRBO a lot, and Kyle was one of the best hosts we’ve had. Overall, a great experience and a great house for a large group.

Amazing house with everything you would need to have an enjoyable stay! Great location; far enough away to experience the Montana landscape, but close enough to get to Bozeman or Big Sky! The set up was perfect; lots to do. We played pickleball, cornhole, fuzeball, and enjoyed the jacuzzi every night. Would highly recommend this house for an amazing Montana experience!!!!
