Perfect family getaway

This was the perfect place for our family to gather. There are so many amenities to enjoy. We loved our time here. The kids loved the playground, trampoline, giant swing set, pond and sports court. The huge dining room and outdoor patio gives plenty of seating for mealtimes. The property is beautiful and peaceful.

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 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 location for a Family Reunion

This is a gorgeous property. The listing is great, but still does not do it justice. We had plenty of room for sleeping, games, meals, and just sitting around. The outdoor facilities are awesome. We spent hours playing and swimming in the pond. Everyone loved it. The courts and game chest were great for enjoying the rural area. It is very quiet and very relaxing. Everything is in great condition. The owners are onsite and available but never intrusive. They could not have been any more welcoming or gracious. The initial walk through was very complete and helpful. The pride in ownership came through and was very appreciated. Would definitely recommend this property and look forward to returning ourselves.

Enjoyable Reunion

We needed a place that would fit a lot of people. We really enjoyed the patio with the grill, we were able to feed everyone and have a nice place to visit. The hot tub was great as well. Just set your expectations on a country home and you should have a great visit.

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.

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.

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!

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.

All the amenities and a beautiful property. It does need updating, but everything is clean and rental rates are affordable. Downstairs is a little maze-like which made for some awkward situations--having to go through bathrooms to get to bedrooms. Overall really good.

Great space

Plenty of room, lots of fun things for the kids to do. We were there for four days and only left the property once, to go to a waterpark. The rest of the time we kept busy with the pickle ball court (brand new), trampoline, swing sets pool table and other on-site activities. Large kitchen and eating area with plenty of storage for our food. Owner was very responsive to inquiries and requests. Great guy.

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.
