Cozy cabin, great for families
We enjoyed our stay at here! The cabin was clean and comfortable. The headroom in the loft upstairs was not an issue but we're a short family! We appreciate the many bedrooms and separate sleeping areas. The cabin was reasonably child-proofed, and our kids loved the toys upstairs in the loft. Bathrooms were small but well stocked, and the kitchen was adequate. The hosts do ask that you take your trash with you when you leave, which is a minor hassle, but not that annoying.

Rustic cabin
The cabin was clean and convenient to West Yellowstone, although more rustic than we expected. The host was very responsive to questions. Overall, www enjoyed our stay.

The little cabin was very nice and clean. Very quiet location. Just needs a hot tub to soak in after long days of hiking.

Quiet Getaway
It was so nice to get away from the busy daily activities and retreat to a quiet area to recharge. Kids loved the loft. It was hard to navigate for my husband and FIL (6ft plus), but luckily we planned to have them on the ground floor level anyway. :)

Cozy cabin
We had a great time. The cabin is mostly surrounded by trees, so it feels private despite other houses being in the general area. It's only 15 min to West Yellowstone and access to the national park. Very well stocked pantry and necessities. It sleeps 9, but 3 of them should be children to to the tight sleeping situation for a few of the beds. There are a ton of DVDs and games to keep us entertained in the evenings. Overall, very few complaints. Thanks!

Close to Yellowstone & affordable for a large Group/Family
We had 4 adults/5 children (aged 6-16). The house slept us perfectly & had plenty of seating in both the LR/kitchen. The toys & little desk in the loft was a really nice touch! All linens were clean & little goodies everywhere, like the stocked pantry with hot chocolate, baggies & cleaning supplies! This home really gave us the 'cabin' feel & while we did not have a camp fire, the fire pit/seating with swing & nearby hammocks are cool. Circular driveway made it easy to come/go. Our purpose was to visit Yellowstone & it is an easy/quick drive to the park. There is a view of the lake, which is nice. Loads of stars/trees. On the downside, there is also a view of commercial properties, but this includes a gas station that is handy for gassing up/snacks! The owners were very communicative & it was EASY to access the house when we arrived! We hate to speak negatively, but there were a couple things. We should preface this is our first VRBO rental, we have condo/timeshares we stay in or hotels, but could not fit into with the size of group this time. While the property was pretty clean, the dishes had residue on them, pots/pan bottoms were greasy & the utensils are enclosed & asked to wash before use. There is no dishwasher. There are pest traps everywhere that didn't bode confidence & we had to watch the littles didn't touch. The rules ask for towels to be washed. With our group it was hard to get out by 11am, but Noon worked. Some doors lock only by wood 'bar'.

Listing was inaccurate
This cabin was well organized, if a little more rustic than we were expecting but it had an adorable (if a little low) loft with lots of kids toys, We were apparently the first guests after the winter and found some rotting food in the pantry and expired products in the fridge. The main issue we had with the property was the lack of some amenities that were listed. We picked the place in large part because it advertised a hot tub. There was no hot tub or even spa tub (also advertised). We were never given a way to access the advertised wifi. We messaged the host on the first day of our visit and never received a reply. If advertised correctly, this would be a nice stay for the right group, but it fell short of our expectations.

The cabin was a great stay for our trip to Yellowstone! The only one minor problem was that we didn't know where to put our trash upon checkout.
