What a view!

We stayed for four nights at this gorgeous home that contains everything you could possibly need. Four spacious and cosy bedrooms. Easy access to West Yellowstone town and West Yellowstone entrance into the park. Don't miss Mack's Inn Playhouse just 5 minutes down the road. Good fun and great prime rib. This house is truly a gem.

Beautifully decorated and appointed home overlooking a spectacular mountain lake vista. Location was great for our daily visits to Yellowstone. Beds were very comfortable and everyone appreciated their own ensuite bathrooms. We viewed moose, pronghorn and sand hill cranes from the deck. Wonderful stay!

Very comfortable, rustic lake, well appointed home. We stayed here while exploring West Yellowstone. House was clean, beds comfortable, bathrooms well outfitted. The location was great and lake views magnificent. Earthquake Lake and Virginia City also easy to get to from this spot.

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!

More than just a view…

If we could rate the overall experience, it would be more than a 10/10. The cabin was absolutely gorgeous with breathtaking views. It was “Yellowstone” from the horse bridle toilet paper holder to the antler fixture lights. The hosts are available if you need anything. We saw many moose, a fox and deer.

First Trip Out West

Great cabin for a large group. View of Henry's Lake is spectacular. Loved sitting on the balcony in the evenings and watching the sun set. Individual bathrooms for privacy and lots of space throughout the cabin to be separate from the large group when needed. Well decorated throughout.

Simply Fantastic.

Our family vacation was wonderful and this home played a huge role. Each day we looked forward to getting “home” to eat and relax. It was located centrally to our activities (Visiting Yellowstone Park; Fly Fishing; horseback riding and spending time in West Yellowstone. Nancy and Reec were excellent hosts and we had everything we needed to make our stay comfortable.

Perfect place to stay

This was a full family trip. The entire family, 17-85 years old, loved the house. You couldn’t ask for nicer hosts. They were overly accommodating from fishing poles to a step stool for use of family that was having a hard time getting up into van. The home was a perfect location to venture into Yellowstone, a trip to Jackson, or any of the surrounding areas. We had deer visiting the back yard almost every morning, and 3 moose about every other evening that visited across the street. Would recommend 10 outta 10.

Amazing vacation home

We were visiting from Hawaii and had a wonderful vacation in this beautiful home. We used it as our home base for trips into Yellowstone and it was perfect. The home is gorgeous and perfectly laid out so that there are places to gather and places to have your own space. Our kids actually cried when it was time to leave because they loved it so much, as did we. We will absolutely stay here again when we return and couldn’t have been more pleased with the entire experience. Simply amazing.

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.
