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!

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.

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!

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!

Outstanding - just like the pictures

We had an excellent week at Ponderosa Lodge. There was plenty of room for our large multi-generation family. The 4 master suites with en-suite baths make it easy for the adults to choose their place. The downstairs game room was fantastic for kids and held the only TV. Hidden in the cabinets are a multitude of games in case the weather keeps you in the lodge. There are 2 (yes 2) washers and dryers to help you keep up with the laundry. The house was fully stocked with paper products (sometimes shortchanged in other VRBOs). The kitchen was out of this world. It stocked almost anything you could need. The kitchen furnishings (appliances, pans, flatware, etc) were top notch.There were 2 refrigerators (we used one exclusively for drinks). The kitchen had plenty of space for 6 adults to be cooking simultaneously. Great place for a group reunion. We would return in a heartbeat. It may seem somewhat expensive, but it is worth the extra $$.

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!

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.

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!
