The “CopperTop” was the perfect location for our family reunion. It’s just a few miles from our home, and as my wife and I were hosting this year, the convenient location was such a plus!The house itself easily contained our group of just over 30. The dining area is huge, and being adjacent to the kitchen and the outdoor cooking area made meals so easy. We also held a dance there and it was perfect for line dancing and all the other crazy dance styles our grandkids embraced!There were bathrooms everywhere, which is a real plus, and everyone had their own beds, with room to spare.Our hosts (owners), Craig and Virginia, were so responsive to every need and question we had. When they learned ahead of time that we have a handicapped daughter in a wheelchair, they purchased a futon bed so she could stay on the main floor, with easy access to dining and other activities. They have done so much to make this place fun for everyone! From the swimming hole to the outdoor courts (basketball, tennis, pickleball, etc.), to the trampoline for the younger kids, there was always something to do for everyone! I saw Virginia yesterday when I picked up some items left by family and told her the next time it’s our turn to host our reunion, CopperTop is at the top of our list!

Great extended family place

There were lots of things for everyone. The littlier kids loved bouncing on the trampoline all the time and playing in the sand pit and playgym. The adults and older kids loved the new pickleball/basketball court and the volleyball net. The swings were a nice place to sit and visit while keeping an eye on everyone. We loved the big eating room where we could all sit down together. Definitely a place we would love to go back to.

Great place, except for one thing

This is an ideal place for a large family gathering. The owners are super attentive to needs, and it is obvious they have done a LOT of work to make it a great location: lots of room, etc. There has to be something done about the smell, though. Two of our four days, the sewer smelll was awful! None of the reviews I've read til now have even mentioned the smell, so it leads me to believe there was something horribly wrong with the septic system for those 2 days. I'll be anxious to see the owner's response to this feedback. We had a wonderful time, and loved the outdoor grill, the pond with its canoe, all the cool kids' stuff in the backyard, the firepit, the fantastic number of beds and bathrooms, the big smart TV, pool table, the large dining space with ice machine. If that stench had not been there for half our stay, it's an easy 5 stars. Oh, and there were fresh mouse droppings in the big cousin's bunk room.

Great spot for large family reunion!

We loved the space here for our large family (50) reunion. It had lots of fun things to do inside and outside of the home. We enjoyed the large eating area as a place to gather for meals and activities. The two bunk rooms do connect with no door in between so that room didn’t work well as a separate room but all the other rooms had privacy. It will definitely be a place we would choose to book again cause it was such a fun place for our big family.

Amazing

The house was beautiful and big enough for my family reunion. Each family got their own room, RV spot, or camped out on the lawn. The AC kept us cool and their ice machine kept us hydrated. Everyone loved the pool table and pickle ball. The pond was fun in the heat of afternoon. And plenty of fun things to do close by. The hosts were absolutely fantastic. They were quick with communication and easy to work with. Definitely giving this experience 5 stars. The only downside (which wasn’t a big deal) was the beds. A few mattresses were new style, but most were old style. A little bouncy. My guess is that they are slowly upgrading them.

Great place for family reunion!!

Plenty of space for sleeping, food prep and serving, as well as plenty of things to do on site (we didn't even have time for everything!) And we loved that it was so near other things to do off-site as well. We got a lot of use out of the sport court! Had it been a little warmer on our last full day, we would have made better use out of the pond. Craig made sure we knew he just was just a call away if we needed anything. The ropes course at BYU-Idaho was a hit--a must do if there are teens or young adults wanting a challenge! Thanks Craig and Virginia, our family loved our time there! P.S. I personally loved going to sleep to the distant sound of the hay baler--just like when I was growing up :-)

Great location for a Family Reunion

This is a gorgeous property. The listing is great, but still does not do it justice. We had plenty of room for sleeping, games, meals, and just sitting around. The outdoor facilities are awesome. We spent hours playing and swimming in the pond. Everyone loved it. The courts and game chest were great for enjoying the rural area. It is very quiet and very relaxing. Everything is in great condition. The owners are onsite and available but never intrusive. They could not have been any more welcoming or gracious. The initial walk through was very complete and helpful. The pride in ownership came through and was very appreciated. Would definitely recommend this property and look forward to returning ourselves.

About the host

Hosted by Craig L Porter

Host profile image
We were fortunate to acquire this property on 20 acres when our five boys were young. They learned how to work by moving pipe in the field and had lots of fun roaming the river bottoms and jumping their bikes into the pond. When they grew up and flew the nest we decided to convert our home into a family reunion center so others could benefit from the ability of the property to accommodate large gatherings - and there will always be room for the boys and their growing families to come and visit!

Why they chose this property

Plenty of room for your toy haulers and trailers.

What makes this property unique

Plenty of on-property activities available (kids playset, large swing, firepit, sportcourt with adjustable net for volleyball, pickleball, (lit at night), basketball, country pond, pool table, etc.

Convenient for daytrips to Yellowstone, Tetons, St. Anthony Sand Dunes, Bear World, family river float (life vests or tubes is all that is needed - map included in Welcome guide), etc.
