The Lodge was incredible. We felt like we were staying at the Yellowstone Ranch. We spent time with the horses on property and saw tons of elk and deer in our backyard! The views were amazing as far as you could see!

The lodge was a fantastic location. Surrounding mountainside, lots of elk herds and one of the best homes with everything we could need. We had a great time with all the family. The girls met Shai and loved the time discussing the McDonald family. Including her memories growing up as a child. We would recommend this location any time.

This is an ideal property for a large group. It’s remote location is great for star gazing with huge windows for animal viewing. Kitchen is well equipped and seating at tables for lots of guests. Gas grill, two refrigerators, two sinks and laundry facilities were wonderful. Decor and fireplace made it cozy. We only wish we could have stayed longer. Proximity to Yellowstone is a plus but be sure to build in some time to relax and enjoy this beauty.

Everything and i mean EVERYTHING was incredible!! There were actual tears when we had to leave. It substantially exceeded all our expectaions. The views, the animals, the Virginia neighbors, the porch, the HOUSE all of it was perfect. Thank you for sharing such a gorgeous venue. This trip has been epic.

Beautiful view! Way out there!

My family enjoyed this beautiful lodge and the views did not disappoint. Overall the beds were comfortable and there was an abundance of seating. We liked the puzzles and basketball game as well. The only drawback was that you could not see the creek from the house and it was 6.5 miles off the main road on a dirt road. We loved how close it was to the entrance of Yellowstone.

Family Reunion

We had a wonderful time at the McDonald family lodge. The views were breathtaking and the lodge had everything that we needed for our family. The kids enjoyed the trampoline, rock climbing wall, and indoor basketball hoops. We took walks down to the horses and enjoyed the creek running through the property. The drive to Yellowstone was about 30 minutes and the road to the house was as stated in the description. We would highly recommend the lodge and we hope to return.

Family trip to Yellowstone

Our family traveled from all over to meet for 1 week and enjoy Yellowstone. The pictures of the house looked great but when we arrived we were amazed. What a truly amazing house inside and out. The road in is a little rough but well worth it. The beds were comfortable and the heated floor in the master bath was special. Wonderful family trip. Also the extra play equipment for the kids made everyone happy

Beautiful lodge!

We enjoyed staying in this lodge with our whole family of 14! The house had plenty of room, beautiful views and plenty of things for the kids to do both inside and out!! We loved staying here and that it was private and although off the beaten path, still close to things to do! This lodge has all the things though, so you don’t feel like you have to leave!
