Stayed 5 nights in Jul 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Barbara M. Aug 7, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great property at a great location The property was absolutely beautiful. The house was right in the center of all the most beautiful views. It was perfect size in accommodating 7 people. The only issue I had, is there was only 6 towels for 7 people. The person getting the house ready should be aware of how many people will be staying and make accommodations for 7\. I would absolutely stay again ##### Barbara M. Stayed 4 nights in Aug 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Roberta S. Jul 26, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Yellowstone Experience The property was absolutely perfect for my family . We were so close to Yellowstone 's North entrance. There was virtually no traffic entering the park. When we drove to the West side of Yellowstone we were going against traffic and avoided the long lines of cars entering the park. What a blessing!! The town of Gardiner was quaint, charming and had a Western vibe. Delightful!! ##### Roberta S. Stayed 4 nights in Jul 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Vikas K. May 13, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Excellent Location with Beautiful Views of YNP Positive - Location is excellent, Views from sitting room and balcony upfront are astonishing. Has all kitchen appliances, had large washer and dryer. Negative - the listing advised that only soap would be provided but the soap provided was a small disc for 3 days stay. Ridiculous. ##### Vikas K.
