Perfect for large groups
We had such a great time staying in this enormous, unique, immaculate house! The large yard, pickleball & volleyball court, and the swings and playground were a hit.

Daughters Wedding Reception
Stayed in the house for 10 days and held our daughter's wedding reception there. Craig and Virginia were amazing hosts and very helpful. Couldn't have asked for nicer people to rent from. The house and property were better than we expected, and the event was amazing. Close enough to Yellowstone and Island Park that we could travel every day to see the sights. Golf down the street, sports court was great, overall, an amazing trip. Thank you Craig and Virginia for making our daughter's wedding something we will never forget. Hopefully we can make it back up to stay with you!!!

Family Reunion
We had 24individyals. And every one of us had a great time. Great amenities and lots of space to enjoy being together and not smashed in. We hope to visit again someday. Downsides: No conditioners for hair in the showers. Windows were very difficult to open. There was no way to block the wind from blowing out the industrial sized outdoor griddle top.

About the host

Hosted by Craig L Porter

Host profile image
We were fortunate to acquire this property on 20 acres when our five boys were young. They learned how to work by moving pipe in the field and had lots of fun roaming the river bottoms and jumping their bikes into the pond. When they grew up and flew the nest we decided to convert our home into a family reunion center so others could benefit from the ability of the property to accommodate large gatherings - and there will always be room for the boys and their growing families to come and visit!

Why they chose this property

Plenty of room for your toy haulers and trailers.

What makes this property unique

Plenty of on-property activities available (kids playset, large swing, firepit, volleyball (lit at night), basketball, country pond, pool table, etc.

Convenient for daytrips to Yellowstone, Tetons, St. Anthony Sand Dunes, Bear World, family river float (life vests or tubes is all that is needed - map included in Welcome guide), etc.
