Yellowstone National Park - a short beautiful drive awaits you from our home to the best park in the US! Take 287 south for about 70 miles to the park's west entrance. Yellowstone is the classic national park, featuring iconic sites such as Old Faithful and the planet's biggest concentration of geysers. Be sure to see the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone and the Mammoth Hot Springs Area, a hotbed of constantly changing geothermal formations. See grizzly bears, bison, elk and wolves and fly fish inside the park (a real treat!)

Big Fun! Drive to Four Corners from our home, then head south to Big Sky Resort, an all-season playground with four mountains. If there's snow, ski snowboard, sled, snowshoe, or skate. In warmer weather, go ziplining, hike Lone Mountain, jump on the bungee trampoline, or scale the climbing wall.

Spent christmas with daughter that lives in Ennis
It was perfect in every way. Conversation with Andy (owner) was easy. His response was very quick. We went there to spend xmas with our daughter who lives in Ennis. We had christmas on christmas eve with her and husband. The house was clean and very comfy! Andy and his son came to the property, he showed me his train car he will be restoring. My Dad had a Kaboose in the yard, we had something in common. We looked at several locations to spend xmas in Montana, could not be happier with the entire process. Extremely happy with our decision to stay at this property. if there was a negative, it was the drive from Pittsburg New Hampshire to Ennis Montana. That was our choice!! Would definitely contact Andy to stay again, no doubt probably will in the future.

Wonderful Stay!
This was a lovely place to stay where we got to see lots of wildlife around! Antelope galore and moose sightings by Ennis Lake! Our 4 legged partner in crime loved the property and being able to play fetch in the yard everyday! He also loved watching the horses across the street from the front door! Andy was super responsive before booking, after booking and upon arriving. Quickly answered questions and was available for anything we needed! The only ”downfall” to this place is there is no privacy between the master bedroom and the door to go downstairs or to the main bathroom. If your staying with a group of close friends or family like we were this won’t be a big problem! The location is super convenient to be far enough away from a lot of activities if you crave quietness but is a short ride away from in town where there are lots of good places to eat and explore.

Great Trip. Would have gone 5 on cleanliness but there were a lot of moths. It is the country so I understood that going in.. Other than that it was amazing

About the host

Hosted by Andy Bergman

Host profile image
Vicky and I live in Sugar Land, TX (a suburb of Houston). We got married in 2015 and have been visiting Montana ever since! We call it the "most beautiful place on earth!"

Why they chose this property

We chose this home because we fell in love with the town of Ennis, the mountain views and the rustic inside! This home felt like Montana to us and provided the space we were looking for (plus our son is starting Montana State in the fall and we wanted to follow him!)

What makes this property unique

The deck views! Sunrise over the mountains on the back deck and sunset over the mountains on the front deck!
