Aspen Inn stay 6/1-6/8
Aspen Inn is a lovely well kept cabin in a sweet little community in a good location. Unfortunately we had to contact the host about the following problems: The neighboring house has a camera mounted outside their patio post facing the hot tub & grill deck which is not acceptable. There was an ant problem -large black ants in cabin & outside front door right corner. The hose was not connected and is too short to extinguish the fire-pit so we had to douse it by hand as required in the contract. Not keen on towels washed by former renters. Didn’t smell clean or fresh & were dry and scratchy. The dryer barely gets hot or stays hot with 4 towels in it. We spent 3 hrs cleaning & drying towels with tepid air which your contract required us to do to obtain refund. The dryer will not dry any amount of towels in a reasonable amount of time. Might need a service call to check the vent or the heating element. Propane tank #1 was left on so it was empty Propane tank #2 was only partially full. There was no cutting board so we bought one and left it there. 3 of 4 casement windows on the first floor bedrooms close but do not latch or lock. The host stated the owners were there before we arrived and their cleaning people did not clean it for us so why some things were missed. I think we were very understanding about all that during our stay. We had an issue with a refundable charge stated in the contract and online Vrbo terms which Vrbo took care of. Laurel

Super nice house.
Super nice house. Beautiful location and was well stocked. Hot tub was a great bonus. House is advertised without WiFi so we did know it in advance. Unfortunately one person in our party did have to work while on vacation so this was an inconvenience to them. Other issue was that we were required to wash our towels before we left. If I’m paying a $325 cleaning fee I don’t want to be washing towels. I also don’t want to be using towels that I don’t know if they were washed or not. Who knows what the previous renters did.

Cute cabin
Great cabin for two families with kids. Upstairs pool/ping pong table was a hit. Hot tub is very nice. Kitchen is well stocked with spices and kitchen necessities. Due to the boil order we brought a large water jug with dispenser which was handy to use at the kitchen sink. Host provided several bottles of water. We didn’t want to have to plan our last morning around washing and drying all the towels so we brought our own towels. Location 15-20 minutes from Yellowstone was perfect.

Pleasant stay
The house was clean, and easy access to Yellowstone. Everything we needed to stay comfortably. Enjoyed our stay very much. *Problem: E coli in water so we had to use bottled water and be very careful not to get water in mouths, which is hard to do with toddlers, and bathing. No WiFi , which is hard with our modern times.

Everything we needed
Cabin was wonderful. We had a baby. Manager provided a pack n play and high chair at our request. There was supposed to be an ice chest that wasnt there for some reason. We called her and she brought one over in 30 min. She was great to work with. Cabin is unpluged. Phones worked fine. Hot spot from phones worked slow at kitchen counter by fridge and on corner of downstairs left bedroom. We had a college student she was able to study in those spots. The baby was sick. Info book had number to nearby clinic. Very useful since we couldn't get google. The corner of the main road had great connection there. We would stop there on our way back to catch up on emails. I highly recommend this cabin. We have used vrbo for a long time. This is one of the best that we have stayed in. Beds were comfortable. I am used to a much softer mattress, yet i still slept great on their comfortable firm mattress. There are coffee shops in west with internet and the west chamber of commerce has public internet student used for test.

Great stay
We loved the cabin. Comfortable beds and great space for family. My teen loved the pool table. My only issue was the hot tub was cold the first night. We were able to use it the first morning but after hiking all day in the rain in Yellowstone and really looking forward to that hot tub it wasn’t warm yet so that was a bummer. However a mommy moose and her baby were walking around all four days we were there which was exciting and made up for that :) great communication from the host and we appreciated the water she provided. There is no Wi-Fi but there is a dvd player and they have some movies. If you have young kids I would maybe bring a couple of their favorite dvds along for evenings. We actually really liked that we couldn’t use the internet and had to unplug. Highly recommend!

Yellowstone for our 40th wedding anniversary.
Had a great time with our entire family. 6 adults , 1 child and a 11 month old baby. The property was very nice and clean. Our 1st day there we saw a Momma moose with her baby moose right out side the cabin. It was magical and exciting. We were only a short drive from the west entrance to Yellowstone so that made it easy to see the sights but be away from some of the Hussle. The cabin was clean and well stocked. Everything we needed to prepare our meals was there. There were also games to play and we all pitched in a built a puzzle through out the days that we were there. Hot tub was clean and enjoyable. The firepit was really nice and there was plenty of supplied wood to have a nice fire. The boys enjoyed the pool table and the girls were comfortable on the furniture with the views out side. Beds were comfortable and we all slept well. This was a great place to stay. We hope to be back some day soon.

A perfect place to explore Yellowstone
We had a wonderful stay at this property! The house is as shown except even nicer in real life. The wood inside is beautiful and it has nice new plush carpeted floors. Having 4 bedrooms was really nice for our group, much better than having to have a sofa bed or beds in the loft like some other places we looked at. We used the hot tub and fire pit every night and we also used the ping pong/pool table every night too. There was some discussion in reviews about internet. We loved not having internet and our phones did get a signal in the house (xfinity and T-Mobile). The park was close enough to easily get to each day and we also enjoyed exploring Island Park. I was thankful we chose a house at the far north end of Island Park because it definitely made access to the park easy. We didn’t see any moose this trip but we did have a young buck in the yard on our last day! I highly recommend this house and also visiting in October, it was so peaceful and we saw and did a lot more than we could have done if we had to fight summer crowds.
