Preserve Loft

Such a distinctive loft, that was surprisingly big - and delightful to boot. Place is ~20 miles/mins from Yellowstone west entrance, and hence easily accessible, Convenient grocery store, restaurant, gas station (and even ATV rentals) in walking distance. We loved every minute of it, the twin bedrooms, bathrooms, and roomy kitchen/living area and many windows bring light, air and a sense of expanse to the stay. Overall a modest set of needs provided, but comfortable. A couple of nits - (a) the bathroom mats need to be cleaned if not replaced; (b) the coffee kettle (still) does not work; (c) as another reviewer pointed out, the mouse trap is a concern though we didn't spot any mice during our 5-day stay. Jake was always responsive & a great host.

Overall this property was just fine. Pros: -Plenty of beds for our family of seven. -Two bathrooms was very nice. -The living room is spacious. -Smell is fresh and new. -The kids loved the triple bunk beds and slide. -Only 25 minutes from West Yellowstone. Cons: -The “play loft” is really just a very small space without room to even sit up—no playing happening there! -The barn door style bathroom door slammed our fingers multiple times because of the location of the handle as it slid closed. -The kitchen could use some more items—at least a fresh sponge! -The dishwasher pretty much does nothing to clean the dishes. -There was a set mousetrap very close to the edge of one of the beds…disconcerting on all accounts. -Some linens/towels were very worn and stained. -Our name was not on the door as we were told it would be, so we were a bit confused about which property was ours. (Note: it’s above a garage.) -Although this property has AC, it’s not central, so there’s no AC in the two bedrooms.

We enjoyed our stay here. Check-in was tricky, but the management was very helpful when we couldn’t figure out its location. The unit is above a garage in the lodging area. The kids loved the bunk beds! The living room is comfortable for a family of five to enjoy. It was nice to have two bathrooms.
