Very nice and comfortable

Beautiful home and a beautiful little neighborhood, we saw three moose one morning.

The house was so beautiful! 33 min drive to Yellowstone proved to be a lot, since we did a lot of driving within Yellowstone, but the house was worth the drive for our large rambunctious group. Unfortunately, we couldn’t find any can openers. We loved our stay, lots of extra blankets.

Plenty of room for our party of 12. Beds were not the most comfortable and we had a fly problem, we would kill tons of them every day but then more and more just kept appearing every evening when we arrived back to the cabin. The location was nice and they communicated well checking in to make sure everything was going fine. We would definitely consider staying here again.

We stayed here for a multigenerational family trip - the house was great - super clean and had all the amenities we needed. The kitchen was fully equipped for cooking, and my nephews loved the game room! There’s lots of seating and hangout areas inside and out, and the dining room table is massive! Plenty of beds and in a great gated community on Bill’s Island. The drive into West Yellowstone was like 45 minutes, so a little long if you want to spend all your time in the park, but the drive was beautiful and offered great opportunities for animal spotting (deer, elk, antelope, and a bear!)Be aware Yale-Kilgore road leading out to the island has some super gnarly potholes just off of Highway 20 (my sister blew a tire and damaged a second, and while she was waiting on a tow, 2 other cars also got flats - totally not the fault of the house, but be aware if you stay out that way).This was a fantastic house, I highly recommend it!
