New Years in Yellowstone
This was our first trip to Montana. The houses were very clean, organized and well stocked for cooking, fun and games. It was a nice touch to have the lights on and electric fireplace going when we walked in. The kids had a fantastic time sledding on the property and building snowmen. Thanks for the coffee and hot chocolate.

Best Family Vacation Ever
This was a long planned trip to Yellowstone. When I found this property on VRBO - I thought it was perfect for our vacation plans. It was even more so than what we had hoped. The location is perfect. The property is beautiful and everything you can think of is provided. I am so happy I secured the property early (10 months in advance) to make sure we didn’t miss out on staying at this prime West Yellowstone vacation property. I would love to come back.

Simply the Best for a YellowStone Vacation
Property was second to none and top notch. Every imenity we needed for a group of 14, traveling with two 1 yr olds (hiking backpacks and pack in plays on sight saved us LOTS of packing space 😁). Hot tubs proved immensely useful after long days of hiking, both houses more than accommodated our large group for the week. Couldn't recommend more highly, hosts were very responsive to all communication and made the stay a breeze. Won't book anywhere else for our return trip!

Best Choice For Yellowstone Vacation
We just returned from a week-long stay at Shelterwood in West Yellowstone. Without question, this is the nicest vacation home my family and I have ever stayed in. We were having a small family reunion with 12 adults and 3 infants (4 months to 1yr) and between the two homes, had room and amenities to spare. Not only were the homes spacious, but also modern, clean, appointed with very comfortable furniture and quiet. Jim and Toni really have thought of everything someone would need for a stay in West Yellowstone. From complimentary backpacks, strollers, cribs and highchairs to the firepit and hot tubs, my group wanted for nothing. Communication was outstanding and they were very accommodating with any request. Location couldn't be beat. I highly recommend this VRBO for anyone looking for the perfect West Yellowstone lodging.

West Yellowstone gem
For our family of 15, this place was absolutely perfect. Everything we needed was in perfect condition and readily available. Hosts were wonderful to work with and a pleasure to deal with regarding the entire experience. Everyone agreed that we would definitely come back here in the future.

Mountain Bliss
Beautiful home. Family reunion with 3 generations staying for a week. 7 people slept comfortably in the main house with 2 in the guest house, although all socializing was done in the main house. The great room – living, dining and kitchen – had plenty of seating. The dining table was perfect for the 9 of us as it very comfortably sat 10. Lots of good time playing games and talking here at the end of the day about our adventures. 2 couches facing each other in the living room with some side seating that also accompanied us nicely. Fun sitting out on the deck with the fire place table and watching the deer. And the hot tub was very welcome after walking around all day in Yellowstone. Nice perks – lovely array of spices (although we did not do a lot of cooking at all it was lovely to see that that was provided); abundant supply of towels; plenty of dishes and cooking apparatus; soft beds; the night lights in the house were very welcome for those of us who were up in the night; even provided body wash in the showers and hand soap at all of the sinks. The view looking out on the meadow and seeing the mountains in the distance was serene. Very close to West Yellowstone. Instructions were left for all types of things – clearly written and very welcome. Even provided coffee for the pot. This is probably the 10th VRBO house that we have rented for annual family reunions and one of the nicest. Only one suggestion – more hooks in the bathrooms to hang towels. Highly recommend this house – you will not be disappointed.
