We had a fabulous time at the Ponderosa Lodge this week! The pictures of the house truly didn’t even do the place justice! Every room was impeccable. We loved the house so much we almost didn’t want to go to Yellowstone (but we did go to the park). Want to come back soon!

This was one of the best vacations ever.

We had a great time staying in west Yellowstone. There were 11 of us in this cabin. There was plenty of room The kitchen has top rate appliances and any cooking tool you might need. It was well furnished. It’s close to the west entrance to Yellowstone. We couldn’t have found a more suitable place to stay than this. We would stay here again and again.

Great location, great accommodations, better than advertised.

The Ponderosa was a wonderful base for our recent Yellowstone vacation. Close enough to all of West Yellowstone’s offerings but has the feeling of being in the forest. The host provided every thing needed including great weather. The home is extremely comfortable and is very well stocked for your needs. We have rented many vacation homes over the years and the Ponderosa ranks right of the top.

Gorgeous home to make lasting memories!

This was the best property to make lasting memories with our family and friends. The home is decorated perfectly for the West Yellowstone area. It is so spacious with several common areas that allowed us to gather and recap our Yellowstone adventures. This property was well stocked with all the essentials. The owner’s communication earned him a 5/5. We love this home away from home and would definitely book again.

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!

This was our first VRBO. It was the best experience we could’ve asked for. The house was beautiful and roomy. With 14 people in the house there was plenty of room for all. Every bedroom had their own bathrooms. The kitchen was supplied well with cooking utensils and many spices to use. The house is located at the end of the road next to the forest so there was plenty of privacy even some deer came to visit every day. Everything we did as a family was very close by within 10 to 20 minutes. Horse trails, golfing, Yellowstone, shopping and the Grizzly and Wolf Discovery Center. Bonus was a hot tub! This place is well cared for. Highly recommend as this had a comfortable and homey feel. Thank you Rand for sharing your home.

We had a wonderful family vacation with our kids and grandkids. The house was perfect for our group of 8 adults and 2 children. It had beautiful decor and plenty of room for everyone to have their own private space. The well stocked kitchen had everything we needed to cook for our large group. The barbecue was great for preparing our steak dinners, and we loved the outside eating area and the jacuzzi. The dining room table was beautiful and seated 12 people. It was great for family meals and playing board games each night. The bathrooms had excellent quality towels and there were plenty of them. The beds were wonderful! Great mattresses, nice linens and pillows made for a good night’s sleep for all of us.The proximity to West Yellowstone was very convenient for trips to the market, eating out, or visiting the Grizzly and Wolf Discovery Center. The Grizzly and Wolf Discovery Center was fabulous, and both the kids and the adults loved it. The proximity to Yellowstone National Park, provided us with a fun filled and packed 7 days, that included kayaking, white water rafting, horseback riding, and hiking. I highly recommend this property.

Exceptional Family Vacation

This was our whole family vacation ... 10 people ranging in age from 10 to 68. In a word: SPECTACULAR!!!The home delivered on the promise of the website. First place we've stayed that I didn't have the need to clean before we got settled. Kitchen was equipped with every gadget / appliance needed. (And we have a professional chef in the family.) Beds and pillows were so comfortable. Outdoor fire pit and hot tub were added bonuses.Rand was so gracious with every question in advance and while we were there. He provided great information for park tours, horseback riding, kayaking, rafting and the rodeo. Pride of ownership shines.The Ponderosa Lodge made our first ever trip to Yellowstone so very memorable. Priceless!!!

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!!
