Incredible house close to Yellowstone!

We had a wonderful time at the Ponderosa Lodge! It was perfect for our 2 families (total of 9) traveling together. We all said it was one of the nicest vacation homes we've ever stayed in. We wished we could have stayed longer! Everything was very clean, well-stocked and the host provided great directions. Highly recommend staying here!

The best possible mountain getaway for our group of friends!

We are a group of friends who are visiting national parks, and Ponderosa Lodge was everything and more that we were looking for during our Yellowstone visit. It was beautiful , spacious, had everything we possibly needed, and the surrounding view was stunning. It was close to West Yellowstone/Yellowstone, had top notch amenities, including the hot tub, which looked out over the forest. All of our friends agreed we would return to your home in a minute!! Thanks so much for giving us the opportunity to enjoy your Lodge!!

Pure Joy at Ponderosa

This is so much more than a cabin. We were able to spread out after a day of tours. We sat around the fire and watched snow in June. We gazed out the huge windows at moose. We were spoiled around every turn, yet always felt cozy at home. Thank you Rand and Sophia. This was an amazing respite from Yellowstone and the wonderful activities of the town. Thank you for sharing it with us.

Luxury home

We loved our stay here with my family from India. The house has high ceilings and grand feel to it. The rooms are good size with nice bathroom and shower with attention to detail. Beds are very comfortable. The kitchen is well stocked. Wish there was some maple syrup though! Google maps doesn’t take you to the right location and it’s a narrow dirt road so we were lost.

Amazing Property with Every Detail Covered

Our groups chose the Ponderosa Lodge for our travel to the West Yellowstone area. Our first impression of the property was how beautiful and spacious it was in the photos. Then after reading pervious traveler reviews it quickly jumped to the top of our list of places to stay. We were just amazed at the attention to detail, the amenities and all the thought that was put into the cabin. The cleanliness and preparation rivaled most 5star hotels we have stayed in. Even the kitchen was completely stocked with every appliance we could have needed. There was plenty of space for all our travelers, room to relax and spend time together and even have full dinners at the luxurious dining room table. Rand, the owner, left a complete stay guide which fully explained, not only all the amenities that were offered, but even how to properly care for the home, the location of items that may be needed....right down to the remote controls for each room. We will definitely come back to stay at the Ponderosa Lodge again!

Perfect for family gathering in luxury

We stayed 4 nights, with family from north central Montana, central Iowa, and Michigan. We arrived after dinner our first night, but were immediately wowed with the space and all the amenities. I don't think the pictures on the web site do this location justice. We were impressed that everything we could think of, that we wanted to prepare food, drinks, etc., was available. The two outside fire tables were great for early morning outside coffee, and again in the afternoon / early evening. The grandkids enjoyed the game room. Internet and cell service were great, which you have a hard time getting within Yellowstone in most areas. We had a bonus in that we were able to meet Rand and Sonia. They are obviously committed to providing as perfect an experience as possible, especially for families. While we were there, we saw moose on 4 days, with 3 of those days both mother and younger moose. Highly recommend.

Mountain setting!

My favorite was the perfect kitchen with everything you needed and so spacious! The game room down stairs for 6 Grandsons and Granddaughter and oldest Grandson’s girlfriend was perfect with the foosball table and air hockey and their own TV. The little guys liked the room under the staircase to play their devices. The location was called evening to town, lake and Yellowstone and the near by rodeo and horseback riding. We felt we made a great choice. We lived all the windows so we could see outside and feel we were in the mountains. Thank you for all the perks regarding bathroom accessories and kitchen being so well stocked and laundry room. It just added to our first Yellowstone trip for this Oklahoma and Virginia family. Thank you so much and God bless!

Amazing stay at Wowyellowstone’s Ponderosa Lodge!

We rented this house for a family trip to Yellowstone National Park so that my father could celebrate his 75th birthday at his favorite place in the world! Eleven of us from ages 2 to 75 stayed here and this place was absolutely AMAZING!!!! The house was beautifully decorated, so comfortable, and anything we could have wanted or needed was there! Rand, the host, was very responsive, sent us great information, was there to show us around when we arrived and even gave us a tip on how to beat some of the traffic to get into Yellowstone Park in the morning. If you are reading this and are considering renting this house don’t hesitate! Grab it before it’s gone! You won’t be disappointed. Thanks Rand!

Luxury in West Yellowstone

We had a family vacation to West Yellowstone at the end of June, and we stayed at this beautiful house. Everything exceeded our expectations. Rand and Sonia were extremely easy to work with, and they responded when I had questions about the hot tub and the electricity. Both were very minor issues that were resolved in minutes. The best feature of this home is the space it provides. Each couple got an extremely comfortable king bedroom with attached bathroom. Each bathroom had a double sink and a rain shower with beautiful stone accents. The home was beautifully decorated with a rustic, western feel with some very upscale furnishings. While all five master bedrooms had the same offerings, each one was decorated in a unique way. The kids' room in the basement had three queen beds, which worked perfectly for the mix of ages of children in our group. The downstairs living area and game room was a nice addition as well. There is only one tv in the entire house in this downstairs living area, but our group appreciated the break from a tv being on all the time! Upstairs, we especially loved the spacious living area, dining area, and kitchen. It was great that it was one enormous room, so that those that were cooking could still be a part of the conversation. The dining table held everyone beautifully, and it was especially nice for big group games! The location of this house was ideal for visiting the parks! Our visit was fantastic, and I would highly recommend this property!
