Fabulous Vacation Spot!

We just returned from a family vacation in this home and we couldn't be happier about the time we spent there! The house is very large and beautifully appointed in a style that perfectly suits the location on Hebgen Lake. In short, it had lots of "WOW" factor, which made it all the more fun as a vacation destination. We had 13 people (8 adults and 5 children) and there was more than enough room for everyone. As other guests have said, the pictures don't do justice to this great vacation home! The kitchen, master suite and living room were particularly amazing and the 10 foot tall grizzly bear in the foyer was the perfect touch for a mountain home! This was our first experience using VRBO.com, but I'm sure it won't be the last! The owners of this home made all the planning easy and the on-site caretakers were very friendly and helpful. The location near Yellowstone Park meant there was always plenty to see and do, but we also enjoyed just spending time at the house because the views from every room were spectacular and the house had plenty of amenities! I would highly recommend this spot to anyone, especially if you just want to "get away from it all"!

The family gathers annually for a destination vacation. This location and home far exceeded our expectations. The house was perfect for our group of 9, comfortable and open. Each room is very well appointed with all the amenities. It was clean and well stocked. The photos do not do it justice. The yard was perfect for the children to play ball, run, toss water balloons. In addition the view of the lake is magnificent and the children could walk down to fish. The owner was very helpful and responded to my e-mails promptly. Moreover, the caretakers were exceptionally kind and full of wonderful suggestions for activities in the area. We enjoyed several days in Yellowstone Park, spent a day whitewater rafting, and found the Wolf and Bear exhibit in West Yellowstone very educational in an entertaining manner. For children age 5-12, there is an opportunity to 'feed the bears' but you must sign up early the same day. Well worth it. For photographers, hikers, fishermen, nature lovers, it is a paradise. We highly recommend this property and hope to return again.

Wonderful location close to Yellowstone but away from the crowds

The cabin is spacious, immaculate, and beautiful. Hebgen lake is beautiful, somewhat secluded, yet conveniently close to West Yellowstone and the park entrance. The caretakers are friendly and very helpful. I can't imagine that we could have found a nicer place to rent in the West Yellowstone or Hebgen area. CHECK THIS ONE OUT before looking elsewhere!

A really great place for groups large and small

My family uses VRBO for most of our vacations. This home home truly beat our expectations. The home is situated in a very convenient area to all attractions. It was a wonderful place to call home after each afternoon exploring Yellowstone, the Tetons, and surrounding attractions. The appliances were all top of the line, and the home has everything you need for planning dinners. The caretakers of the property were super helpful and did a wonderful job managing the property on a day to day basis. We had a party of 10 (2 families), and their was plenty of room for the entire group to have personal space. After our trip, we discussed how much money we saved renting this property vs. rooms in Yellowstone; plus, rooms in Yellowstone would not have come close to comparing to the quality, space, and beauty of this home. The home has extended views of the lake from all front and side windows.......perfect!

Outstanding vacation home

This home is a wonderful place to spend a vacation with family and friends. The house is spectacular and very comfortable, and very well take care of by the owner and their care keeper. The kitchen is as well equipped and there is large storage for food and drinks. The house sits high above the highway giving unobstructed views of Lake Hebgen and the surrounding mountains and it is a short drive from West Yellowstone where there is good shopping for groceries and asundry items. Our family is eager to return for another wonderful vacation.

there was 10 of us ranging from 15 to 50, great place to stay, loved all the amenities, the large kitchen/dining area was great for all of us to eat and create meals. the caretaker was great with info on places to go, the tip on fishing was appreciated/9 rainbow trout and 1 brown. loved the dog, mattie and the resident fox. a day of site seeing made the hot tub a joy to use. i would stay at this property again. check out the earthquake center and ghost village up the road a few miles.

The Ultimate Montana experience!

Loved this property!!! We had a group of 12, age range 19 to 73. Kitchen was awesome, plenty of room for multiple cooks, Hot tub was a big draw after a long day of hiking. The view from this property is worth it's weight in gold. Another big plus for this house is it's big enough for you to get away from each other if necessary. I would recommend this property for any larger group. Pictures were accurate....but do not do either the view or the house justice. Both the owner and property caretaker were helpful. We would definitely consider booking again.

This was an outstanding vacation rental! There were 16 of us with 3 children 5-8yrs. The house is beautifully designed to accommodate large groups with serene, private bedrooms & spacious bathrooms. The social areas were perfect for us; plenty of room to move about - the kitchen extremely well equipped with a design to allow many people to cook & others to kibitz. The dining room allowed for all of us to eat together every night-what a treat! The house was really the success factor for our family gathering!
