The property was great! It looks much smaller from the outside. Once you get inside, there is a lot of space. They left snacks and notes. We played games that were in the house. The beds were comfortable. The owner was very responsive and accommodating. Would recommend.
We needed a place to hold Thanksgiving dinner with our adult college kids. This location worked so well. Lots of space for everyone and the kitchen was well stocked to allow for the cooking to happen. Very clean and nicely furnished.
Very nice Home. The yard and surroundings are perfect. I was able to meet the Host. Very nice people very down to earth and made sure I had everything I needed.
We loved our stay and plan to come back again! Here's our top 10 things we loved about this place:
1. How peaceful the yard is with plenty of seating, a pond and even a swing a grown-up can swing on!
2. The master shower with shampoo, conditioner & body wash that smelled & felt so nice! It is a walk in and has a bench you could sit on if needed for your shower. Loved the shower!
3. The kitchen had everything you needed-even an Insta Pot and Crock Pot.
4. The sweet bowl of treats & letter welcoming us!
5. The board/card games they had that we had so much fun playing.
6. Taking walks in the neighborhood. We even saw a deer in the front yard!
7. Washer & Dryer with detergent & dryer sheets.
8. So close to BYUI, yet you felt that you were miles away.
9. Communication with Lora was so fast!
10. The comfort of the whole house- so much room. Loved the antiques everywhere!
Thanks for a wonderful stay!!!
House was great and well stocked. Incredibly clean and comfortable. Lora was a great hostess and was always very responsive to our questions. Highly recommended!
Lots of room. Very comfortable and clean. Easy check in. Many amenities. When the tree row is not leafed out, the sound from Hwy 20 can be heard. Nice beds. Upgraded master bedroom and bath. Wifi dropped out once. Nice smart TV's in every room.
Other VRBO's that we've booked have had the bare essentials provided. Not only is the property immaculately taken care of, but they've provided much more. Each time I needed something - it was there! We felt like VIP's - welcome and wanted from the minute we walked through the door.
Plenty of room to spread out, beds very comfortable, and my husband almost decided to move in he was so taken with the heated tile floors in the master bedroom. My only disappointment was not realizing they had a hotel waffle maker in the cupboard! How fun is that!!!
If you stay here - you won't be disappointed. We love the rural surroundings, but we were only 6 minutes from town and everything going on there. The best of both worlds.
We were in Idaho to celebrate Christmas with family. When we arrived, the outside was festively decorated, there was fresh snow, and we immediately felt at home. The pictures don’t capture the size of this home! The primary suite and bathroom are spacious and tucked away from the other bedrooms. Perfect place to stay with kids or extended family. We appreciated the snacks and thoughtful gift from the property owner. Highly recommend!
The house clean, quiet and has all the needs for a family to stay.

Our stay was perfect. The property was close enough to where we needed to be but in a nice quiet rural setting. The house had absolutely everything we needed. There were different areas so our whole group could be together or get a little privacy when wanted. Our hostess, Lora was perfectly helpful without being intrusive. I would definitely stay again.
Everything we hoped for! We were checking out family history in the area. It was located in a central location for activities in Rexburg, Idaho Falls, and Ririe. We would do our travel investigations and go back to put all the pieces together and rest. The layout of the home is perfect for different families, or for children and adults. There are three different conversation areas and lots of board games. We didn’t use the water toys or get in the pond, but we enjoyed looking at it and feeling peaceful on the property. The hosts are on site and most helpful as needed and protective of your privacy the rest of the time. It is well-stocked with anything you might need to bake or cook or play. We loved the whole experience!

This place is beautiful! We wish we could spend more time here. I think we’ll plan another trip here so we can. The home is nice and clean. The beds are comfortable and we had everything we needed plus a few nice touches left by the owners.

Such a wonderful spot. Super clean and well-appointed. If you’re headed to the Tetons, this is a perfect stay!
Quiet country home appeal! The home is tastefully decorated in antique and country style. It was easy to locate and a short drive to both Yellowstone National Park and Grand Teton National Park. We truly enjoyed our visit and the comfortable accommodations.
This VRBO stay was incredible! The owners were so wonderful and helpful. Communication was very clear and they were so willing to help us with anything we needed. The property was absolutely gorgeous and so was the house. The entire stay was excellent and if I could have stayed longer I would have! I highly recommend this wonderful owner and rental. Great location, and amazing place to relax and enjoy time with your friends and family.
Booking and communication was quick and easy. House was
decorated with really fun antiques. It was very clean and comfortable! A great place for last minute Thanksgiving plans. Hostess was impeccable with a welcome gift basket! All around 5 stars!
