Snowmobile vaca

This condo, although small, is a comfortable get away. It is clean. Beds are comfy. The kitchen is stocked with nice, usable equipment. Not cheap pots and pans or utensils. Items I would stock in my own home. Plenty of linens. The hosts are prompt to answer if you have a concern. We will be back.

Perfect location

We stayed here before spending a day in Yellowstone. The place was clean and well-maintained. It was in the perfect location. There were many restaurants within walking distance and the entrance to Yellowstone was just minutes away. The beds and furniture were cozy and comfortable, and the gas fireplace added to the coziness. We would recommend this place and stay here again if we were in the area.

My first impression of the property was it was really outdated but still very clean. It was very conveniently located near the West Gate and relatively quiet. Overall, we enjoyed our stay but for the price we paid we expected the place to be more upscale.

West Yellowstone home

This home was a great place for us. Walking distance to town shops and easy drive to Yellowstone Park. The gas fireplace came in handy as we had a couple of chilly mornings. Used the propane grill and enjoyed the yard. The laundry area worked well for us too. Def felt homey and comfortable. Beds were super comfortable. Owners made check in a breeze and promptly addressed a small tv issue we had. Would def stay there again. Thx for sharing your home with us!

Outstanding!

The property was so comfortable and well appointed. Extremely comfy beds, pleasant living room with gas fireplace. Everything was spotless. Washer and dryer either brand new or was just well maintained; either way made life simple. So convenient to everything in West Yellowstone and to the national park. Prompt response when I had a question. Well appointed kitchen even though we didn't cook. I just can't say enough about this place. Thank you!!

Spacious and right next to park entrance

This townhouse was spacious with 2 king beds and a lovely living room and kitchen. We were only here for 3 nights. The unit was clean, instructions were clear on TV controls, etc. The only thing that would have made this better would have been an outdoor seating arrangement. I suspected from the photos but confirmed there is no real outdoor seating area. Also a tip: Do not try to shower while the washing machine is running, the temperature in the shower will change drastically!

Yellowstone National Park Vacation

Sweet Home Montana was a perfect spot for us to stop and use as a base while exploring Yellowstone Park. We drove from CA staying in WA for a few days so having a place with a washer & dryer was a plus. Even though I received an email saying we could check-in after 3pm, we had already planned our day for 4pm. I appreciate a 3pm check-in and 11am check-out we receive for many rentals, but understand all rentals do what works best. Anyway, the place was clean & very comfortable. The pilot light to the fireplace was out. I called and Joseph came right over to light it and change a light bulb in a lamp. The kitchen was clean and well equipped. I was thrilled to see the nonstick fry pans looked like new. The ‘Fiesta’ dinnerware was colorful and added to our meals. Bedrooms are upstairs. The stairs are very steep, we were very careful when using them. The beds were comfortable, a welcome after a day of sightseeing. Thank you for the lovely bag of Huckleberry goodies. Your rental shows you really care about the comfort of your guests, If we ever return, we will definitely stay longer. You have a Sweet Home in Montana… Marion

6/10 Okay

Liked: Check-in
Disliked: Communication, location, listing accuracy
The townhouse was ok, not what I was expecting. Downstairs didn't seem clean. Deck doors and kitchen window were unlocked which luckily my son discovered as we were going to sleep. We were VERY upset that we couldn't watch tv. When I called the property management people to ask why the tv wouldn't work I was told that homeowner canceled. We were there for a week with occupants 9 to 69 years old. Trying to find something for everyone on Netflix was a joke. I have never stayed in a place without tv. We knew there wouldn't be AC , but we've stayed at places before in Colorado that at least had ceiling fans. This place was stifling. No ceiling fans , 3 small fans one which would only go towards the ceiling no matter how we tried to prop it. We were told to open which since the unit is on a rock road which was dusty so that wasn't happening. The kitchen had a huge skillet and a giant roasting pans but no baking sheets. Since most of the food we bought had to be bake , I had to run back to the store to get aluminum foil to make baking sheets. The stairs upstairs were very steep and narrow and the downstairs where the washer and dryer was , was nasty and seemed to be the place to throw everything. The shower had a hand held attachment that got caught on the conditioner dispenser while i was showering, knocked it down and the conditioner on the tub was so slippery I fell. The only positive was the location. Absolutely not a fan of this placec.
