Love, Love, Love the Pond House
We stayed at the Pond House for three nights in August to attend That Famous Preston Night Rodeo, soo a quick 10 minute drive to Idaho. Everything at the house was perfect for the 17 members of our family ranging from our baby to our 89 year old grandma. Comfortable, roomy and loaded with everything to cook dinner to playing on the swing set in the back yard. We will definitely reserve a gain!!

Wonderful Historic Home
This beautiful historic home was a wonderful place to stay for our annual family reunion. Comfortable, with plenty of options for entertainment for both young and old. Spacious yard for outdoor activities, and plenty of parking space. We prepared several meals in the kitchen and it was well-stocked with most of the appliances and utensils we needed. The host was most gracious and communication was A+. I would highly recommend!

Fantastic get away
Loved the home. The home is historic and really neat to stay in such an old home. That said it was updated with all the conveniences and it really was so comfortable to stay in. Tons of space. I really appreciated the fenced yard for my little kids to play in. The owner was fantastic to keep me updated on community events and anything about the house. Definitely recommend.

Stunning Historic Gem! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Our stay at this historic house was nothing short of magical! From the moment we stepped through the door, we were transported back in time while still enjoying modern comforts. The attention to detail in preserving the original architecture and decor was impressive. Each room felt like a step into a different era, yet maintained a cozy and welcoming atmosphere. The amenities were top-notch, from the fully equipped kitchen to the claw footed tub. We spent evenings relaxing and soaking in the ambiance of the beautiful lands surrounding the home. The location was perfect, our hosts were incredibly accommodating to our family during before, during and after our stay. Overall, our stay exceeded all expectations, and we cannot wait to return for another memorable experience. Thank you for sharing this treasure with us!

Fantastic Stay!
Booked our stay for thanksgiving at the Pond House and was not disappointed! They had quick and helpful communication and the pictures do not do it justice. It is a gorgeously restored home that was perfect for our large family to enjoy the holiday. Games, air hockey and laser tag kept the kiddos occupied for hours. There was a large family area that was perfect for our family. Kitchen was fully equipped for all our thanksgiving needs even down to the smoker for our Turkey. Would definitely want to stay again in the future. Could not recommend enough!
