This place is absolutely beautiful. The views are amazing & it was big enough for our family of 7. I loved that everyone had their own king size bed & private bath…no fighting over the master bc they were all master suites. AC would have been the only thing to make it more perfect but I don’t think anyone has air in this area.

The view really is fantastic! The house layout was great. Every room had their own bathroom and with so many places to relax, we all found our favorite. Whether it was reading on one of the swings, coffee on the deck or tucked away in the loft, there was just the right place to recharge and still soak in the awesomeness of the surroundings. Collectively, our only complaint would be we spent so much time out of the house - but I’ll never regret a minute we spent in Yellowstone, the Tetons or Big Sky. This part of the country is beyond amazing and the house was a really nice place to call home base. Extra stars for the walkie talkies, we used them every day! Thank for a great week.

The best equipped cabin I’ve ever stayed at!

Not only are the views, and the location is superb, but the host has truly thought of everything that you would need. She provided Bluetooth speakers, two way radios for Yellowstone Park, shared the best places to get groceries, and favorite hikes. One tip for my southerner friends who are traveling up north: central air is not a thing and should not be assumed. Even though it got to a high of 85 with no central air, the lack of humidity, and the constant breeze made the house so comfortable. There’s no way we could get away with that in Savannah.If you’re thinking about booking this, just do it! I’ll be one of the best decisions.

Great accommodations and hosts.

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!

It was located centrally to our activities (Visiting Yellowstone Park; Fly Fishing; horseback riding and spending time in West Yellowstone.

About the host

Hosted by Nancy Rumsey

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.
