Beautiful log home overlooking Henrys Lake and 13 Miles to West Yellowstone!
We are so excited to offer this large, beautifully decorated 4 bedroom (and an additional loft with queen bed) 4 bathroom full log home that accommodates 12 with room to spare. Completely stocked kitchen and game room supplied with playing cards, poker chips, board games, books, children's games and puzzles to entertain everyone.
Large wrap around decks with beautiful views in every direction. Outside there is a large wood campfire area for roasting s’mores. There is also a large back deck with bbq grill and two picnic tables to seat everyone.
The area can get hot in July/August and our home is among the 3% of vacation rentals in the area that offer air conditioning! Also, most area rental agreements require that you drop off all your trash at a landfill that is about a 1/2 hour drive each way, we do it for you as part of your rental! The home was completely renovated in early 2019.
Please read the 5 star reviews and do not hesitate to book this beautiful new cabin. Please also ask any questions as I (Nancy) am happy to answer them all. I am also happy to help plan your vacation in any way, just let me know how I can help!

We thoroughly enjoyed our time in Island Park - as we adventured through Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Parks. The house is lovely - and very comfortable for our party of 10.
Place is beautiful with a great location. The beds are comfortable. Host is responsive and helpful. My family had an amazing time while staying here!!!!
Property was well kept, clean and accommodating! Easy to find and access from West Yellowstone. Only reason for not giving 5 stars all around was location was closer to other houses, an RV park and a busy highway, which was not quite what I was expecting (thought was more secluded). Otherwise, beautiful house that fit our family plus grandparents with plenty of space to stretch out!
The house is beautiful! Lovely decor, comfortable beds and furniture, nice location. Easy to get to the Park. Nancy has been very thoughtful of what people need and want when staying in a rental, we were very impressed. And she was very easy to contact when we had a question. We ate at Madison Crossing in West Yellowstone and Lakeside Lodge and Restaurant south of the rental near Island Park. Both with great service and food. Wouldn't hesitate to stay again if we ever get back.
Home was a wonderful location for easy entrance to West Yellowstone. Home is older but charming. Enjoyed our stay with 4 grandchildren and their parents- 8 of us. Owner very responsive to questions and information about the area.
We absolutely loved our stay at this beautiful log home. The owners are amazing, they were available to assist in every way to make our trip the very best possible. The attention to detail was everywhere. An incredibly spacious home, yet cozy and comfortable for the entire family. The location is excellent for spending the day in Yellowstone. I would highly recommend this wonderful place for a memorable Yellowstone vacation!!!
This property was absolutely what our group of 8 friends needed. After each day in the Park, we came “home” to a beautifully decorated cozy cabin with tons of space for all of us to spread out and enjoy ourselves. Our host Nancy was responsive to our questions and our every need was met…even down to a wine frig!!
Had an excellent week long stay. Cabin comfortably slept 7 adults and 2 children. Plenty of place to spread out and not be right on top of each other. 15 minutes from the west entrance to Yellowstone and close enough to Teton to make it a day trip. Would definitely stay again.
We had 3 generations with us on our Yellowstone vacation. The cabin was decorated to perfection and was well equipped with everything needed for a fun and relaxing extended vacation. The host’s were very accommodating and were able to give us some great ideas on things to do and places to see. The location made it simple to navigate all the must sees of both Island Park and Yellowstone. The cabin was great and provided a great experience for us all!
The house was in a perfect location to Yellowstone, fishing, trails, and lots of fun restaurants and activities. The view was spectacular! Highly recommend!!
The lodge is beautiful. Everything was spotless and everything you could need was provided. It is located very near Yellowstone National Park. Nancy is a great hostess. She is very accessible and knowledgeable. We would stay here anytime we are in the area.
The home was very cleaned, well stocked, and communication with our host was great. We had two small children and the baby gates were set, high chair and toys available. The size of the home and quiet spaces were a hit for our family.
What an amazing home! Everything about it was picture perfect. We loved the abundance of space, the cozy and comfortable decor, and the view of the wide open spaces. We couldn’t have asked for more. It was a perfect location for visiting Yellowstone. Thank you to the wonderful host for creating such a beautiful environment our stay!
Ideal location for West Yellowstone and all the activities in Island Park. Nancy and Rees are the best host! Cabin was stocked with everything you need. They left detailed list of recommended things to do and hit it out the park! Everything we did was recommended by them and it was absolutely great!
The house is very clean and well maintained. The kitchen includes most of cooking utensils other than rice cooker :-). Nancy responds our questions very quickly. Overall very positive experience and everyone enjoys the house. Thanks!!
Nancy's place is a wonderful hub for anyone looking to explore Yellowstone, Henry's Lake, or any of the surrounding scenery. And although it's a wonderful gateway home to the park, the house itself is worth the price of admission! The home has lots of thoughtful touches and amenities, from a game room, to kid-oriented books and toys, to an outdoor firepit. It's also great for large families, as the # of bedrooms and bathrooms ensures that everyone can have their own space. The view is even better in person than it is in the pictures--can't recommend this home enough!
Everyone in our party raved about how perfect this cabin was. The rooms were so comfortable, kitchen was well equipped for us ( we were on motorcycles ). I only wish we could’ve stayed a couple more nights. The host stayed in touch with us the whole time leading up to our stay regarding the flooding at Yellowstone and was very helpful. The ride from west Yellowstone to the cabin is about 12 mins and very easy. Recommend to everyone!!!!!
Not only did Nancy make us feel like we were family right away, the home was just as it was pictured. It was decorated lovely and felt cozy and inviting. It was fully stocked with anything we needed, she thought of everything. Nancy provided us with information about the area and was available for any questions that we had. It was truly a blessing to stay in such an amazing home away from home. The home is also conveniently located to many adventures. We can’t wait for our next journey out west, we would gladly stay here again.
Let’s just say I can’t wait to go back. This was so relaxing, it accommodated my whole family comfortably. Everyone had there own space and bathroom which made getting ready easy to start our day. It’s really close to the Yellowstone entrance so getting into the park took no time at all. We found so much to do in this area wether to go to the park or hang out and do things locally.
Nancy has everything you need there for a wonderful vacation and made it so welcoming. Highly recommend for your next vacation it doesn’t disappoint.
Great for families, 14 miles from west yellowstone
We were a group of 2 families with kids and grand parents and the cabin was equipped for all ages. Enjoyed the Spacious 4 bedrooms and clean attached bathrooms well stocked with towels and toiletries. Kitchen was beautifully decorated and had everything we needed for cooking meals. Wifi was good throughout. The most stellar part for us was the stargazing from the wrap around deck, making smores around the firepit and the beautiful sunset view! 15 to 20 mins from West yellowstone entrance gate, there are no grocery stores or restaurants around the cabin, so remember to grab on your way back from West yellowstone.

About the host
Hosted by Nancy Rumsey
We bought our first cabin on Henrys Lake in 2014 and have been working hard ever since to create unique and comfortable property's to share with visitors from around the world. Rees owns his own commercial hardwood flooring company and I have been buying/renovating and decorating homes for the past 20 years. SaNora Lodge is beautiful, undergoing a complete renovation from September 2018 to May of 2019 and most recently an additional dining room/family room addition in 2025. Named for the two sweetest grand babies to every come to earth.... Sam and Nora.
Why they chose this property
Rees always teases (complains and grumbles) that "It's never done"... I always say "that's not true" but when this bank owned log home came on the market and just needed a lot of love, I knew "It's never done" was happening one more time. One more labor of love and we are so excited to share this one with you.
What makes this property unique
13 miles to West Yellowstone and away from the tourists and crowds.
Walking distance to the new Henry's Lake dinner theater.
Minutes to world class fly fishing on Henry's Lake and all of the amazing adventures Idaho offers as well.
