Amazing

The house was beautiful and big enough for my family reunion. Each family got their own room, RV spot, or camped out on the lawn. The AC kept us cool and their ice machine kept us hydrated. Everyone loved the pool table and pickle ball. The pond was fun in the heat of afternoon. And plenty of fun things to do close by. The hosts were absolutely fantastic. They were quick with communication and easy to work with. Definitely giving this experience 5 stars. The only downside (which wasn’t a big deal) was the beds. A few mattresses were new style, but most were old style. A little bouncy. My guess is that they are slowly upgrading them.

The “CopperTop” was the perfect location for our family reunion. It’s just a few miles from our home, and as my wife and I were hosting this year, the convenient location was such a plus!The house itself easily contained our group of just over 30. The dining area is huge, and being adjacent to the kitchen and the outdoor cooking area made meals so easy. We also held a dance there and it was perfect for line dancing and all the other crazy dance styles our grandkids embraced!There were bathrooms everywhere, which is a real plus, and everyone had their own beds, with room to spare.Our hosts (owners), Craig and Virginia, were so responsive to every need and question we had. When they learned ahead of time that we have a handicapped daughter in a wheelchair, they purchased a futon bed so she could stay on the main floor, with easy access to dining and other activities. They have done so much to make this place fun for everyone! From the swimming hole to the outdoor courts (basketball, tennis, pickleball, etc.), to the trampoline for the younger kids, there was always something to do for everyone! I saw Virginia yesterday when I picked up some items left by family and told her the next time it’s our turn to host our reunion, CopperTop is at the top of our list!

So perfect!

We loved this property! There were 40 of us for our family reunion and it was SO perfect!! Plenty of place to eat together, tons of fun things outside for little kids to adults to do, and lots of beds!! Because it isn’t brand new I didn’t stress as much about the kids being kids! The lenders were so darling too! We would FOR SURE book this place again!!

Tons of fun

We had 20 teenagers there and they loved the property. The house was on the older side of things but very comfortable and not scared to walk in the house. The hosts did everything right. Great amenities from kitchen, pool table to court and outdoor cooking. We would stay there again no issues.

Great Amenities!

We had a family reunion with all ages during our stay, and I think our favorite was the snow cone machine, ice machine, volleyball net, playground, and the large 5-foot griddle. They gave us a tour of the property right as we arrived, and we felt comfortable right from the start. This is a great place to hold a family reunion (probably also because of its seven bathrooms.) We would come again in a heartbeat.

Perfect Reunion place

we LOVED our stay. We knew it wouldn't necessarily be fancy or luxury due to the lower price, but we were so grateful to find a place in a better budget for us that could accommodate our large family. The yard is so perfect for the kids to roam and play. I would suggest bringing your own shower soap as well as towels if you like nicer towels. Overall, Wonderful people, wonderful stay!

Family reunion

This was our second stay in this property. And the owner and the property did not disappoint us. It was an excellent location for the daily family reunion activities we had planned. Everyone had a good time. And the facilities were wonderful when the occasional thunderstorm would roll through. We give this property our highest recommendation.

Great place for family reunion!!

Plenty of space for sleeping, food prep and serving, as well as plenty of things to do on site (we didn't even have time for everything!) And we loved that it was so near other things to do off-site as well. We got a lot of use out of the sport court! Had it been a little warmer on our last full day, we would have made better use out of the pond. Craig made sure we knew he just was just a call away if we needed anything. The ropes course at BYU-Idaho was a hit--a must do if there are teens or young adults wanting a challenge! Thanks Craig and Virginia, our family loved our time there! P.S. I personally loved going to sleep to the distant sound of the hay baler--just like when I was growing up :-)

Great extended family place

There were lots of things for everyone. The littlier kids loved bouncing on the trampoline all the time and playing in the sand pit and playgym. The adults and older kids loved the new pickleball/basketball court and the volleyball net. The swings were a nice place to sit and visit while keeping an eye on everyone. We loved the big eating room where we could all sit down together. Definitely a place we would love to go back to.

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, sportcourt with adjustable net for volleyball, pickleball, (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.
