An excellent property and home for a large group! We stayed here for a family reunion and loved the spacious kitchen, the bunk room, and the grounds where the children played outside for hours. This home had everything we needed. And the hosts were very responsive. The home is remote but we enjoyed the beauty of the scenery and the privacy.

great get away

We really enjoyed staying up on the old dry farm area that my wife's family grew up on. We were able to get four generations of family together in one place and enjoy my mother in law's 80th birthday as a group. The house lived up to all of our expectations and we may make this an annual get together. The house was clean and spacious with no traffic noise, no mosquitos, and very little dust.

Another great stay! We have now used this venue two years in a row to host an annual moms' retreat. It's beautiful and functional. We love the venue and the host. Highly recommend for large groups. It's nice to have a variety of sleeping options available for our attendees including some private rooms.

OUTSTANDING STAY AT MOSS AVERY LOSGE

This is a beautiful property that accomidated our familygroup of 16 people perfectly! 4 of our family members were seniors and had no issues moving around. Fun activities such as pool table and ping pong to occupy the little ones. Plenty of space for everyone. Katherine was amazing to work with and had great communication. They even had a welcome gift of potatos waiting for us. I would highly reccommend this property to anyone of any age. Beautiful home with a beautiful view

Great for big, loud families

The location of this place is great. You have quiet farm land around. There are big, open spaces throughout the home and outside. Plenty of room for everyone to stretch out and not be on top of each other. The home is well maintained and no one complained about the amenities. This was ideal for a family reunion with a big and energetic family.

Family Reunion #14

We loved the property in the beautiful farmland of Eastern Idaho. Many took daily walks up the gravel road. Plenty of beds for all of us and common areas were large enough for all to gather. Kitchen had everything we needed to fix our meals. Double ovens and fridges were awesome. We enjoyed the fire pit and the hot tub. We made several trips to the Lovebird Grocery in Ririe where there had everything we had forgotten and treated our grandkids to some hand dipped ice cream. We spent a day at Heise Hot Springs, golfing, eating pizza and enjoying the pools. We enjoyed a musical at the new Center Stage Theater in Idaho Falls and took a drive to Falls Creek Falls and Palisades Reservoir Sunday afternoon. Great family reunion with plenty to do at the house and in the area.

Ideal Retreat Venue

This venue was so beautiful. Many beds and bathrooms and large gathering spaces makes it perfect for a retreat. The kitchen was the most functional and pleasant to cook I of any rental I’ve used. The kitchen had everything we anticipated other than coffee. There are two coffee pots which is helpful to accommodate a large group. I assumed there would be provided coffee which is on me. It was a simple fix. The place was super clean. The large windows let in tons of light during the day and provide a beautiful background to whatever you are doing. It’s in a beautiful place and being able to see that from inside was a delight. As expected, the large dining room is loud when full. Katherine was helpful with answers to my questions before booking and after check-in. All the policies were clearly written and easy to follow. They provide plenty of towels for a large group. We loved having access to a hot tub! Check-in and check-out were a breeze.

Great Large Space

This was the perfect place for our large family. The house was inviting, and Katherine was a great host. Our stay was blessed with a snowstorm which made it a bit difficult to access the property but a someone with a small plow came and cleared the road. They even cleared the large driveway on the property. We aren't sure who did plowing but we were sure grateful for their service. Thank you for the memories.

Peaceful and spacious

This property was perfect for our large group. Most of us felt tranquility as soon as we turned onto Moss Avery Road. The setting was beautiful with all the fall colors and plenty of grass to play on. The home was large, clean, inviting and comfortable. Most importantly, there was a bed for everyone and room to gather in multiple common rooms. Other properties that sleep large groups are lacking in the kitchen and dining areas, but not this place. This home made sense because there was a seat for all during meals and enough fridge space for feeding a crowd. The hot tub was even warm upon arrival so we could start relaxing right away.

Beautiful secluded location for a church retreat!

There was so much room to have a large group. The sleeping arrangements were perfect as they have 26 beds in the house. The kitchen/dining area was a great place for everyone eating at the same time. Yet we had a good-sized room for holding our Bible talks. The firepit area was wonderful and roomy. It was a very quiet setting with no neighbors and you could talk walks up the road in the beautiful farm country. Definitely a place to keep in mind for future retreats. Thanks, Katherine, for being such a great hostess and working with us!

Amazing Family Reunion

We LOVED the Moss Avery Lodge. IT was the PERFECT location for a family reunion. Katherine is an amazing host. She responds quickly and looks for ways to make it the best experience possible. We decided to do the zip line with less than 24 hours notice and it worked out. The accommodations were perfect for our group of 32. The double oven, double fridge, 2 dishwashers, 2 clothes dryers and dryers made the life portion so easy. The kitchen eating area is large and spacious for lots of time together eating and playing games. The large split yard was perfect for many games of ultimate frisbee on one side and badminton on the other. Note of caution - gopher holes and prickly weeds add to the fun and experience. It was perfect to watch the stars during the Perseus meteor shower. The little woods behind the house was the perfect exploring area and place for a fairy garden. The location is secluded but not isolated which is wonderful. 10 miles to the grocery store in Ririe, 40 miles to Jackson Hole, 50 miles to Teton National Park, 60 miles to Hoback Junction for whitewater rafting and 70 miles to Yellowstone offers up pretty much whatever option you want. TOTALLY RECOMMEND for large groups.

We all loved staying in this beautiful home. It had plenty of room for us which was a group of 23. It had a huge kitchen and dinning area where we could all eat together. Our grandchildren loved the huge yard and fire pit for smores. It was so spacious with plenty of beds and many bathrooms. The host was great to communicate with even though there wasn't much need to communicate with them. We would definitely rent this place again.!
