Our family has stayed here several times. We come back because it is a great place, in a scenic neighborhood. The home is well appointed and has all we need when we go to Bismarck to see our extended family. Gary is always very responsive to questions by text or via VRBO. It feels like our home away from home!!

Neighbors

We've lived in this neighborhood along the Missouri River for thirty-one years. I say that "it's the best little neighborhood in Bismarck." We were hosting out-of-state visitors for five days and our house was too small to accommodate us all. The location was perfect for our five extra guests, less than a block walk from our house. The house is spacious, was very clean and perfectly fit the bill for our company. The wooded location is extremely quiet yet located just minutes outside Bismarck. We will rent this again when the visiting group is larger than our house can handle. Our guests were more than pleased and impressed.

Room for Gathering

Out of the city but not too far from necessities. Large table area for family gathering. Bean bad toss game in the back yard was a nice touch.

Wedding weekend getaway

I needed a place in Bismarck for several people. Plus a place to gather too. There were issues about the heat, but it was resolved. Plus the remote to the garage door didn’t work, but we were able to use the front door. This house was a great place to call home, at least for the weekend.

Family Wedding

The house was awesome for the number of people we had. Everyone was comfortable and we had alot of space. Kitchen was well supplied with everything you would need. Only downside was the pans were too big to fit into the oven so we had to put them in sideways. The owners left uncured bacon and fresh eggs which were a nice touch and surprise. There was only one TV in the whole house and did not give us access to local channels. Bummer because we couldn't watch any football games. The outdoor space was great and we spent a lot of time outside. Would definitely stay here again.

Perfect place for a small group

This was a perfect place to get together with our friends from out of town. There was plenty of room for all of us to move around and several places to sit and relax. The property is beautiful in the fall.

A great house and beautiful location. The hidden gem was the sauna which worked perfectly. I would highly recommend this house for a family stay in the Bismarck Mandan area. Close to everything you need but quiet and peaceful.

The woods

Our second time staying here. We love the location, close to the Desert and my Dads house, and we love waking up in the trees. Love the large dining area as we don’t eat out often since there are so many of us. The house works well for us.
