The home is incredibly inviting with its double wrap around porches and French doors. Upon arrival we found a very thoughtful welcome package and helpful note to help us learn the ins and outs of the house and property. We were delighted and impressed, but this was just the start of our wonderful experience with the owners.
Traci and Joe were incredibly responsive and attentive to our needs, both before arrival and during our stay. They were a great team setting up and executing our horseback riding excursions and made sure everyone had a great time. Most riders were beginners, but Joe provided a wealth of knowledge about the horses and the area itself. When we rented ATVs from a place in town, Traci quickly offered up helmets for the children when the rental place did not have enough. She also made time to come show the children the coolest swarming ant hill and rock cliffs and cave near the house to explore.
The house was exactly what we wanted and needed for a party of 15. Not only was everything clean; the views were breathtaking, the kitchen was stocked with all of the necessities we needed to cook and bake (and most importantly, caffeinate), the beds were comfortable, there was never a wait to do laundry with two huge washers and dryers (a bonus that laundry supplies were provided), and it was honestly just a gorgeous house inside and out.
We loved that the bedrooms were very roomy, and that every single bedroom had French doors leading out to the wrap around porches. We were also excited to find outdoor dining set up on the porch so we could dine together and enjoy the view. There is also a very nice walk that is less than a mile to a lookout from the property overlooking the mountains and countryside. It is perfect to do alone if you need a quiet and picturesque place to reflect, or to enjoy as a group for something to do right there on the property.
Dubois is a small town with SO MUCH to offer. We did the float trip on the Wind River, enjoyed the Military Museum, rented ATVs, went horseback riding, and hit up the Friday night rodeo. Plus we set out on all day excursions to Yellowstone and the Grand Tetons since they were a short drive away.
We highly recommend this town, this house, and these hosts.
