The “R Ranch” is one of the most beautiful vrbo’s in the country! Nancy was an excellent host, super responsive and very welcoming. We walked into a well appointed, spectacularly decorated 4 br/4 bath home, complete with Outdoor deck, gas fire table and seating area for our group of 8 and more. The views from the deck were stunning! Such a great set up for 4 couples, just outside of Yellowstone. We’ll be back!

I would give this place 6 stars if I could! This was, without a doubt, the most beautiful place our family has stayed. We were talking about planning our trip back before we even left. The cabin is a short drive to Yellowstone, and the pictures of the views don’t do them justice! Nancy truly thought of everything. If you have the chance to stay here, you absolutely should!

This is a 100 star property!! The personal touches in the decor and the attention to detail in this property are the best we've ever experienced. Every bed and pillow was extremely comfortable. The furniture was not only comfortable but gorgeous as was every square inch of the decor. Nancy, the owner, is correct - there is no better view. The kitchen was so well stocked it was as if we hadn't left our own home. We didn't have to buy anything but fresh groceries. It even had a glass rinser!! She supplied multiple cans of bear spray, sunscreen, insect repellant, walkie talkies, beautiful perfume in every bathroom and even dental flossers. She had a huge assortment of games, cornhole, a pristine hot tub and huge hanging swings. Everything inside and out was absolutely perfect. The incredible enormous deck had more than enough beautiful, comfortable furniture for a large party. The glass fire pit table on the deck (and the fire pit area on the ground level) were greatly appreciated. Nancy was available at a second's notice (not that we actually needed her). You can see the labor of love that went into this property. What you see in the photos is very accurate. We feel privileged to have experienced this property. I know you will too!!

We wanted a cabin that accommodated 6 adults with a view and close to Yellowstone and the Grand Tetons National Parks. This cabin surpassed our expectations as did our hosts, Nancy and Rees. They went above and beyond to make our stay pleasant, enjoyable, and informed. I would highly recommend this property and we hope to return soon!

About the host

Hosted by Nancy Rumsey

Host profile image
We bought our first cabin on Henry's Lake in 2014 and have been working hard since to renovate log homes (Rees and I work together and do all the renovations) and offer them as amazing vacation rentals. Rees owns his own commercial hardwood flooring company and I have been buying/renovating and decorating homes for the past 15 years. When we bought this home I just knew it needed a Ranch feeling and a taste of the American West.

Why they chose this property

Rees always teases (complains and grumbles) that "It's never done"... I always say "that's not true" but... "It's never done" happened one more time (for the third time). So here's to Rees. R RANCH. One more huge labor of love and we are so excited to share this one with you. So to answer, why this property? Because, it's amazing and you will not find a better view anywhere.
