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.

Family Trip to Montana

This was our first time to visit Montana and also to see Yellowstone National Park. We loved every moment! Ponderosa Lodge is an exceptionally well thought out home equipped with all you need to comfortably enjoy your stay! One day was a snow day and we enjoyed the hot tub and the game room very much!

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!

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!

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.

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.

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!!!

Perfect Group Vacation House

The Ponderosa Lodge was exactly as shown in the photos - a stunning and extremely clean property on beautiful lands. Our group enjoyed homemade meals together in the large kitchen and dining area, and loved gathering in the hot tub, back patio, living room, and movie room den. There were so many thoughtful details throughout, from the expansive kitchen amenities and games to the laundry room (with double washers and dryers!), fire pit tables, and under-counter lights in the bathrooms. A beautifully designed property all around and the owners are really nice! The one pitfall was the lack of A/C; the weather was warmer than anticipated during our trip and it was sometimes difficult to sleep in the warmer temps if we didn’t want to keep the windows open overnight. Based on our other stays in the area, seems like no A/C is pretty typical, though. All in all, we loved Ponderosa Lodge and would absolutely return. Highly recommended to anyone looking to stay within a few minutes of West Yellowstone!

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.

Family Christmas Gift - Winter Trip to Yellowstone

Every year we give our family a "family vacation" as a Christmas gift. Hence the need for a place for all of us to stay. This VRBO was fantastic for us, our kids and grandkids. This year there were 8 adults and 4 kids (15, 13, 11, 9). The expression on all as they walked in was priceless. Beautifully decorated and spacious. The kitchen and dining room was perfect for family meals and playing cards and games. Each bedroom is spacious and private. The family room downstairs was great for the kids - they felt they had their own "apartment". Just too many great things to say about this rental and not enough space :) A great time by all and close to Yellowstone and pick up place for our Winter Tour w/Seeyellowstone Tours. Again Thank you.

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!!
