Amazing home right on the Madison. We came in for a family vacation and it was perfect for all of our needs. They went above and beyond stocking the house with everything you could possibly need. The beds were VERY comfortable and the kitchen was very well stocked. The welcome basket was also a nice surprise. Would recommend to any family looking for a super cozy getaway.

Thank you! This not one of our top 5 vrbo, this was our # 1. If we could give a higher rating we would.It's a little out side of west yellowstone but we drove by the most beautiful lake and river ( which ran behind the cabin) worth the drive. Yall thought of every little thing we could have needed and provided it all to us. Everything!!! If we come back to this area we WILL stay here. It felt like home. Our kids and grandkids enjoyed it as well. We have a fisherman in the grandkids, he was in heaven. We have one who doesn't like vacations and on the last day he was making plans for next year. This is in part thanks to how easy and pleasant yall made it for us. Again thank you, thank you so much

Amazing place

The caddis shack was a suprisingly spacious house right on the Madison river. The view of the sunset from the back porch was breath taking. Getting to Yellowstone was a breeze and every local I talked to seemed to have nothing but good things to say about the owners. I would definitely stay here again.

Best Week Ever!

Staying at the Caddis Shack was incredible. The property is beautiful and the house is perfect--all the touches of home and make sure you save time to utilize the game room as it led to hours of fun for us! We couldn't have asked for a better week and this property is one we feel very fortunate to have been able to book and stay at. Thank you Samantha and Randy for sharing your beautiful home with us.

Great family stay

Our family had a great week at Caddis Shack. We all agreed this was the best vacation house we have stayed at. The hosts really set the experience apart by making you feel more like family than unknown guests. They thought of everything and the house is very well appointed. We spent our days visiting Yellowstone and evenings enjoying the river while we prepared dinners. Thank you Samantha for opening up your home to us!

Family Time

Our family group of 9 spent a week at Chaddis Shack. Our sons ages 15 to 26 enjoyed fishing in the river. Our whole group visited, YNP, West Yellowstone, Tetons. We hiked Sheep Lake trail. We enjoyed the fire pit, big dinners and the game room. Perfect time to relax and reconnect.

This was such an amazing property. The homeowners thought of everything. It was so well kept and clean. They provided so many things to help you feel right a home and enjoy your stay. They were great with communication before and during our stay. The river was so peaceful and calming. We would love to return to the property and we would recommend this property to anyone looking to enjoy a Yellowstone adventure.

Breathtaking

We had a blast, fished the Madison, went to Yellowstone, went horseback riding, shot fully automatic guns in West Yellowstone and enjoyed the house. We had 4 adults and 4 teens. There was something for everyone. The owner of the property was amazing and literally thought of everything. A trip of a lifetime!

Amazing family vacation in a beautiful home!!

The Caddis Shack is a beautiful log home right on the Madison River. The owners have thought of every detail from binoculars and the Audubon Field Guide to Birds, to toddler plates and cups to the most comfortable beds. We barbqued and ate on the deck almost every night but we had a difficult time reading the books we brought because we kept staring at amazing view! Randy and Sam's suggestions for places to eat and river guides were spot on. Our son was fly fishing like a pro by the end of the trip (thanks to Madison River Outfitters and Rick Welle)! We didn't want to leave so We have already booked our trip for next year!!

An amazing vacation with breathtaking scenery.

We had an amazing time here. Great location for fishing. My sons fished most of the week and caught a lot of trout. I'm somewhat of a germaphobe and can have a hard time relaxing at vacation homes, but I did not have that problem here. The house was very clean. We all enjoyed snacking of the basket of goodies that was left for us, especially after traveling all day. It was a sweet gesture. Randy and Samantha were easy to work with and were always quick to answer any questions we had. We look forward to coming back again one day!

Seriously? Seriously!

The owners of this property put in SO MUCH care and attention to this house and our experience there. So many details to make your stay a good one are done right. Not to overstate things, but ALL of the details! And it's exceptionally clean. It's clear they have stayed at many vacation rental properties and applied all of the things they saw and liked to their own property. If you are considering staying at this property, just pull the trigger. You won't be disappointed!

We had an absolutely fantastic stay at this property. The attention to detail throughout the home was top notch. Everything was incredibly well thought out and beautifully maintained. The kitchen was one of the best stocked we have ever experienced, with modern appliances and everything we needed to cook and enjoy meals as a family.From extra linens to helpful labels and thoughtful touches in every room, it is clear the hosts truly care about making the stay comfortable and seamless. The home had a welcoming feel from the moment we arrived and was spotless throughout.Communication was also fantastic—quick, clear, and helpful every step of the way. The hosts went above and beyond, answering all of our questions and even helping us plan parts of our vacation. We felt supported from booking through checkout.We would not hesitate to book again. This place really sets the standard for what a vacation rental should be.
