Katherine was a lifesaver to work with. We had a couple issues with VRBO when we changed our nights from 5 down to 4 and Katherine was so good to keep in close touch with us to make sure it all worked out. She checked in with me multiple times to make sure we didn’t have any more questions. The home is beautiful, clean and spacious. The grounds have a large grassy area to play and plenty of things to entertain everyone. The rolling hills make this home a peaceful retreat that makes you want to return.

An excellent property and home for a large group! We stayed here for a family reunion and loved the spacious kitchen, the bunk room, and the grounds where the children played outside for hours. This home had everything we needed. And the hosts were very responsive. The home is remote but we enjoyed the beauty of the scenery and the privacy.

great get away

We really enjoyed staying up on the old dry farm area that my wife's family grew up on. We were able to get four generations of family together in one place and enjoy my mother in law's 80th birthday as a group. The house lived up to all of our expectations and we may make this an annual get together. The house was clean and spacious with no traffic noise, no mosquitos, and very little dust.

Another great stay! We have now used this venue two years in a row to host an annual moms' retreat. It's beautiful and functional. We love the venue and the host. Highly recommend for large groups. It's nice to have a variety of sleeping options available for our attendees including some private rooms.

Great for big, loud families

The location of this place is great. You have quiet farm land around. There are big, open spaces throughout the home and outside. Plenty of room for everyone to stretch out and not be on top of each other. The home is well maintained and no one complained about the amenities. This was ideal for a family reunion with a big and energetic family.

Can’t wait for next time!!

We loved this place. Quiet, peaceful, beautiful, perfect for our family. We went on walks in the morning, weather was perfect. We used the fire pit outside to cook hot dogs and marshmallows. We loved the big grassy area in front of the house for family games. Downstairs was very cool so we could play ping pong or Pool when we needed to cool down. The kitchen is amazing for large groups. Definitely somewhere we hope to see again.

The property was very nice with comfortable bedrooms and a well-equipped kitchen. Our only complaint was that the big open room had so much of a sound echo that we had a difficult time hearing one another. We thought perhaps they could put some carpeting on the walls or ceiling to absorb some of the sound. We appreciated the big box of Idaho potatoes they left us as a favor. It was a good experience overall, and I would rent it again.

Awesome Property! Great for big gatherings!!!

This property and the managers are amazing! We had a big family gathering and the house and property fit us all very well. We loved the setting out in the country and the property was big enough to go outside and play all day long, or sit around in the dining room and play games, or play a pool tournament, or hot tub, or sit by the firepit, or... it just goes on. The house is totally renovated and laid out amazing. Plenty of big spaces for large groups, but also plenty of beds and bathrooms. It was also nice to be so close to Idaho Falls so if you forget something you can run into town and get it. Can't say enough good things about this trip. We will definitely be booking here again!

OUTSTANDING STAY AT MOSS AVERY LOSGE

This is a beautiful property that accomidated our familygroup of 16 people perfectly! 4 of our family members were seniors and had no issues moving around. Fun activities such as pool table and ping pong to occupy the little ones. Plenty of space for everyone. Katherine was amazing to work with and had great communication. They even had a welcome gift of potatos waiting for us. I would highly reccommend this property to anyone of any age. Beautiful home with a beautiful view

Family Reunion #14

We loved the property in the beautiful farmland of Eastern Idaho. Many took daily walks up the gravel road. Plenty of beds for all of us and common areas were large enough for all to gather. Kitchen had everything we needed to fix our meals. Double ovens and fridges were awesome. We enjoyed the fire pit and the hot tub. We made several trips to the Lovebird Grocery in Ririe where there had everything we had forgotten and treated our grandkids to some hand dipped ice cream. We spent a day at Heise Hot Springs, golfing, eating pizza and enjoying the pools. We enjoyed a musical at the new Center Stage Theater in Idaho Falls and took a drive to Falls Creek Falls and Palisades Reservoir Sunday afternoon. Great family reunion with plenty to do at the house and in the area.

Ideal Retreat Venue

This venue was so beautiful. Many beds and bathrooms and large gathering spaces makes it perfect for a retreat. The kitchen was the most functional and pleasant to cook I of any rental I’ve used. The kitchen had everything we anticipated other than coffee. There are two coffee pots which is helpful to accommodate a large group. I assumed there would be provided coffee which is on me. It was a simple fix. The place was super clean. The large windows let in tons of light during the day and provide a beautiful background to whatever you are doing. It’s in a beautiful place and being able to see that from inside was a delight. As expected, the large dining room is loud when full. Katherine was helpful with answers to my questions before booking and after check-in. All the policies were clearly written and easy to follow. They provide plenty of towels for a large group. We loved having access to a hot tub! Check-in and check-out were a breeze.

Our visit was for a family reunion and birthday celebrations. Our father is 90 years old and uses a wheelchair for mobility. The ramp into the dining area of the home was a good angle and well maintained. The home also provided a covered outside area accessible to someone in a wheelchair. The kitchen had all cooking tools needed. Towels, bedding and beds were comfortable.Katherine, the host, was very accommodating and met all our special requests, which made our time at the home even more special.The fire pit was wonderful and we created exceptional s'mores.
