Me and my wife went on a trip to Yellowstone and found this lodge on-line by luck. I have to say we were more then satisfied not only with the room but the hospitality better then we could ever ask for. We personally would like to thank the staff at Ponds Lodge and would highly recommend anybody to give this... more

The new cabins (do not agree to stay in the old cabins!!) on this property are beautiful, generous in size and well thought out. The kitchen is great for serving large groups and these cabins would make an excellent base camp for any outdoor adventure you could dream up for the area. The customer service is greatly lacking though. When... more

We have only left home for Christmas one other time and it was so much fun we had the opportunity to go with some extended family to Ponds Lodge. We had a great time. The Duplex we stayed in was easy to get in and out of with our trucks and 4place snowmobile trailers. The personnel in the Lodge were... more

We arrived on Christmas eve day at our duplex at Ponds. Everything was clean, warm and very inviting. Decor was tastefully done, but not overdone. Kitchen was clean and well stocked. That night it snowed 3 ft of the most beautiful light powder that Idaho has ever seen! Perfect conditions for a stay centered around snowmobiling. Epic powder, bluebird skies,... more

We took our small children on a trip to Yellowstone and surrounding areas. Ponds lodge was perfect for families. The restaurant is open for breakfast, lunch and dinner and has choices that my kids enjoyed and a great selection for my wife and me. The kids played in the Buffalo River which was a few steps from our cabin. It... more

The cabin we stayed in was brand new, modern, and clean. We were there for a snowmobile trip and enjoyed Pond's Lodge and our accomodations thoroughly. We expected cabins to be like the ones the other reviewers complained about. Our group is not yuppies so we didn't care, we were there to recreate, and the accomodations are secondary, so we... more

Worst place I have ever stayed. Cabins were being demolished but they were renting them out until right before bulldoozing them down. When I complained they refused to make it right. There were safety hazards and black mold in the shower. Even though they are building new cabins, I suggest never doing business with people who would let someone stay... more

None of these cabins are being rented anymore because they have all been sold. This particular review was written by a woman who had the option to stay in a new cabin and chose not too because of the price difference. Since her stay we have added more brand new cabins, a smoker in the restaurant and a day spa....

Rustic? What a joke. Its no wonder the Pond's Lodge's website doesn't actually show photos of the cabins. They know that no one would stay if it did. Rustic usually means minimalistic water and power. Rustic here means not fit for human use. We attempted to stay in cabin #4, but ran for the hills very quickly. The cabin itself... more

Management response from
PondsOwner, Owner

Upon arrival of these particular guests, there was clear understanding that they preferred to stay in a less expensive, older cabin. All conditions were communicated. Also, they brought 2 large dogs with them (unannounced) and when asked to pay the pet deposit after staying in the cabin for 3 days with no complaints, became unreasonable. The older cabins have all...
