We loved the house and the location! The kitchen was well stocked and we had no problems. Any questions we had were answered quickly. We hope to be able to return sometime!

From the moment we walked thru the door, we felt ourselves relaxing. The house was bigger than what we really needed for the two of us. We ended up being able to spread out our stuff and do some laundry after driving for a few days. The house is extremely clean and well appointed with small touches to make us feel at home. Beautiful bedrooms, comfy sitting rooms, fluffy bath towels, and a kitchen that had everything we needed for our four night stay. Even games and books to keep us busy on our down day. And the views! Don’t forget your binoculars as we saw a herd of elk wandering over the ridge. The mule deer came by each morning and evening to feed nearby, so did some birds. (Quail maybe?) The owners live on the property so if we needed anything, the response was quick while giving us our privacy. Close by to Yellowstone National Park or wandering thru old downtown Bozeman or Livingston. So much to do in the area and it was nice to be in the middle of all of it!

We enjoyed our stay in Pray. House was very clean and was stocked with everything we needed. Jean was very kind and met us when we arrived and explained what we needed to know. Thanks for the great welcome and the Huckleberry and Blueberry were an adorable addition!

The only gripe I have about our stay was that we didn't stay longer. First, the location is perfect. We were and hour from Bozeman airport, 20 minutes from Livingston for groceries and shopping, and about an hour from the north Yellowstone gate.
The home is spacious, well-stocked, and quiet - perfect for our family of 4. The little touches were what I enjoyed the most. The plush towels (most VRBOs have cheap, scratchy towels). The welcome note. The nice knives (my wife LOVED those). The stack of brochures for Yellowstone and more.
It added up to the perfect getaway adventure to enjoy the mountains. I only wish we had more time!

My husband and I booked their lovely place for us and our parents for our week trip to Yellowstone. Upon arrival Jean came over and introduced herself and was so helpful even lending us coolers to use for the week! Their home is situated in such a peaceful area with gorgeous panoramic views! We were able to sit out on the deck and watch mule deer and their babies frolic. Mark was very knowledgeable about the areas and very helpful on recommendations for hikes and sites to see. We really enjoyed getting to meet these two, they are just as kind as could be! The home has so much helpful info and books for your many adventures, and anything else you could possibly need. We hated to leave! Thanks again for having us Georgians!!

Jean and Mark are wonderful hosts, and their home is absolutely perfect! Clean, comfortable and with every amenity you could need. Conveniently located, making it an easy trip from Bozeman, and just a short (and amazingly beautiful) drive to Yellowstone's north entrance. We will most certainly be back!

Located in Paradise Valley the house was in a nicely secluded area within reasonable distance to Yellowstone National Park, hot springs, trailheads, fishing & some good restaurants. The town of Livingston was only 15 minutes down the road for shopping & supplies. The mountain ranges are a spectacular view which we would sit on the rear deck & enjoy each evening. The house was ideal for our crew of adults & was quite spacious, neat & clean. We had a chance to talk to Jean & Mark the owners who were friendly & accommodating. I would book this Vrbo in a heartbeat again if I was to return to Montana.

Excellent 4 day stay at this well maintained and equipped home! The hosts live on property and greeted us when we arrived. They were quick to respond to any questions before our stay which helped our vacation planning. Note central AC is not typical in the area and this home has 2 large window units in the main rooms, but not bedrooms.

The moment we arrived inside the home we felt cozy safe and welcomed ! Besides the amazing views of the mountains when we woke up the next morning, the location of this home felt centrally located well between north entrance of Yellowstone and airport. The spacious house had plenty of room for six of us and everyone had their own bed. The kitchen was filled with all the tools we needed to cook our meals each night. Jean and Mark interactions were warm and friendly. Definitely staying here again .

The home was perfect!! Easy directions to find the location and upon arrival it was as if we were welcomed home. It was well equipped, comfortable and spotless. Our host, Jean, answered our questions quickly and gave us some tips for things to see and do. The views were breathtaking and the neighborhood was so peaceful. Only heard the wind gently blowing or an occasional cow lowing. One of the best vacations!

Mountain Get Away
Everything about our time in Montana and Yellowstone was lovely. The experience of booking with Mark and Jean was great from start to finish. They were kind and helpful with any questions or guidance we needed and their response time was always prompt. The home was well equipped with everything we needed to be able to cook and enjoy the area. We had plenty of room to spread out with our party of 5. The quiet mornings on the deck drinking coffee and watching the sun come up over the mountains was a personal favorite. Mule deer frequented the property and were always fun to see. We took the entirely scenic drive to the west entrance to Yellowstone and saw the multiple different vistas and wildlife the Park has to offer! Gorgeous. We also traveled several times to nearby Gardiner to kayak the Yellowstone river through Yellowstone rafting co. and thoroughly enjoyed horseback riding at Hells a Roaring. We spent one evening at a rodeo in Three Forks and went to the Grizzly Encounter in Bozeman, which was so informative. Even though the closer north entrance of Yellowstone was closed due to the recent flooding, we found so much to do in the area and absolutely loved the views from the property. We fell in love with Montana and would absolutely love to stay here again. ❤️ The Mero Family

A great location, amazing views and fantastic accommodations
Jean and Mark were fantastic hosts and everything we needed was at this home. They anticipated every need and were very responsive to any questions we had. They live near by but respected our privacy and we’re willing to interact with us when we were coming and going in our car. The bedrooms and bathrooms were great for our family of 5. The kitchen had everything we needed and the grill was a nice addition. The deck off the back of the house was perfect for early morning nature views and eating breakfast before leaving for a hike. We would come back again without hesitation. In fact we offered to be house sitters if they needed the help!!! If you want a great experience this is the place to stay.

The house was far bigger than we had expected. It was amazingly comfortable, and easy to enjoy. The hosts were excellent, they greeted us upon arrival even though it was late in the evening. They even made sure that we had good directions to depart with.
