Our family of 6 adults had a wonderful experience at this cabin. The proximity to West Yellowstone was perfect for us. We enjoyed many activities including hiking, visiting Yellowstone National Park, and renting ATVs. The cabin was comfortable to come back to after long days out. The views of the lake from the deck are beautiful!
Wonderful,everything we needed was there. Just beautiful house and close to yellow stone
Key was easy ,kitchen tool was very good. Did have fans for upstairs. They worked great. The area was quiet. My grandson enjoyed the lake.

Liked: Check-in, communication, location
20 minutes from the West park entrance....great view of Lake Henry while sitting on the new wrap around deck breakfast and happy hour. Tank less water heater with hot water for all...we had 6 guests showering. Lots of supplied items in the kitchen.coffee...tea...sweetener...every appliance needed....pool table! Great fun for us!
Comfortable, beautiful and included everything we needed and then some! Although it is a bit of a drive to West Yellowstone, we highly recommend this beautiful property. Everything was perfect.
This property was wonderful! Only 15-20 min. outside the West Yellowstone entrance. It was cozy, comfortable and had great views of Lake Henry and the mountains. I would highly recommend it!
This house was in a perfect location. About 20 minutes from the west gate of Yellowstone. It was fully stocked with everything we needed. I was very impressed
The cabin was very well laid out. The rooms were very large and had big closets.
The view of the lake and mountains was amazing.
They had very modern Applicance's.
My brothers and I loved the place.

This was our first time to visit Yellowstone and our stay at this cabin at Henry’s Lake was just perfect. Beautiful views of Henry’s Lake and close to the West entrance to Yellowstone made it easy to visit the park each day. The cabin was very clean and stocked with what you need to take a picnic to the park each day. The host was always quick to respond with any questions. Would definitely recommend.
We had a great stay and it was perfect for what we needed. Cabin was exactly as described, check in was easy and Melodie was was quick to respond and answer any questions we had. Beautiful view of the lake from the porch and the cabin was well stocked with all of the basics you need. We spent most of our time in Yellowstone and it was an easy 20 minute drive to the entrance.
We would highly recommend this cabin to anyone we know wanting to go to Yellowstone.
Stayed in the area for a week of fly fishing. The cabin was perfect with a spectacular view overlooking the lake and snow peaked mountains. There was a disruption in water supply for the entire community, but the property owners went above and beyond to ensure that our vacation was not disrupted. You will not find more hospitable hosts anywhere!!!
The cabin was perfect. We were visiting Yellowstone with our adult children. The cabin was close enough for easy travel, yet far enough away to get away from the crowds. The cabin was clean and very well stocked. Very cozy with everything we needed. Gary and Melodie were great. We would definitely recommend to others and would stay there again if we were in the area!

Glad you liked our property. Was the negative rating of one star an accidental click? It sounded like you had a good experience with us and the cabin and enjoyed your stay. Perhaps you can review it and see if you can correct that if possible. But no worries, we are just glad you had a good trip. People will figure out we have a nice place when they actually read what you wrote.
Everything we needed and more. It's like we were house sitting for a friend. The back of the house is where the kitchen and family room are. From those rooms a french door and windows provide a spectacular view of the lake and mountains. Really special.
We loved this cabin. We were so happy so many things were there is was well stocked so all we needed was the groceries and we were set. It was all we wanted in a place. We spent all our time at the parks but did breakfast tgere every day and oacked a picnic lunch. Only megsyive is fireplace does not work.
We were really impressed with this house! It was in a perfect location for us to explore Yellowstone and the Grand Tetons. This house was fully stocked with just about anything you might need. I’ve never experienced that before with a rental. The views from the deck are picture worthy!! We would definitely stay here again!! I recommend it to anyone staying near West Yellowstone!
The cabin was nice and rustic. It was overrun by flying bugs and that seemed to be prevalent in the area. We were disappointed that we couldn’t sit outside for all the bugs everywhere, but I guess this is normal for the area. The cabin was fairly clean, but for the price we thought it should have been better.
We stayed from June 1-8. The view from this cabin is spectacular!! We had a wonderful time visiting Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Parks. At this time of year, we couldn’t sit outside because of the swarms of midge flies. But we didn’t have a ton of time to hang out on the deck so they didn’t bother us that much. You can still see the best view ever from inside the cabin.
What a great property! It was very comfortable for our party of 5 (parents, grandparents, and 5 year old child). The kitchen is well stocked. The water pressure is great in the showers. The deck has a great view of Henry's Lake and was our favorite place to enjoy a go-slow morning. There is some road noise from the highway below, but that didn't bother us and you can't hear that at all from inside the home. It is a 20 minute drive to Yellowstone's West Entrance, but very doable. We loved getting away from the busyness of West Yellowstone and arriving at our own quiet get-away. The neighborhood is VERY QUIET! And when we had a rainy day and decided to just stay in, there was plenty of space for everyone to do their thing...play games, read, nap, etc. Gary and Melodie were WONDERFUL to work with and extremely responsive--before and during our stay. We would highly recommend this property!

Couldn't be better!
Our family stayed for one week and we loved the cabin. The view was beautiful, the beds were insanely comfortable and it was like we were at home (only better!). It is less than 20 minutes to Yellowstone west gate so we were able to get to the park quickly and spend our time discovering the magnificence of Yellowstone but be able to relax at night. The kitchen is very well-equipped and it was nice to be able to do laundry as needed so we didn't have to over-pack. There are wild huckleberries in the hillside behind the cabin and the hummingbirds delighted us every day. The cabin had all the creature comforts to make our vacation stress-free. Melodie and Gary were the best. They answered all our questions in a timely manner ahead of our trip and when we arrived they were even more responsive to answer any questions we had. This cabin is ideal for people of all ages (we had young and elderly) and everyone was comfortable. Couldn't ask for anything better!

It is a very nice rustic log cabin which attracted me from the beginning. It is well located for fishing the rivers and streams around this area and is also ideally located for adventures in Yellowstone Park.
What makes this property unique
Superb location for fly fishing, hiking and all outdoor activities. Beautiful lake view from deck to enjoy while at home. Short drive (15 minutes) to West Yellowstone and Yellowstone National Park.
