Welcoming and clean with all the amenities.
We had a wonderful experience. Steve and Betty were great and their home acomadated our large group beautifully. Highly recommend.
What an amazing stay at such a beautiful and well appointed home. We have stayed here many times and will continue to choose to stay there when we travel to Yellowstone again. The owners went out of their way to make us feel welcome.
The lodge was awesome! We stayed with four of us but this house could easily hold 16. Betty and her husband are fantastic people! We will be back to stay for sure! Thanks
The home is amazing and the view outstanding. We have been using VRBO for our family vacations for years and this property and the hosts are awesome!!!
House had everything you could possibly need. Betty was beyond gracious during our stay. Definitely recommend.

Amazing house and location
Our family had an extraordinary time here. The location was idyllic. The house was comfortable and incredibly well stocked. The owners are wonderful, responsive, and helpful. Our family has rented dozens of homes over the last 15 years, and this is probably our favorite. We hope to return soon!
We had a wonderful stay at this location. The hosts were very friendly and most helpful!The house had all, and more, we could have needed. It’s in a beautiful location. Convenient to West Yellowstone &Yellowstone park, and to other towns like Ennis. Beautiful fishing spots on the lake and nearby. Mother Nature did not
disappoint !
Awesome property for 15 people. Kitchen well equipped. Great Lake views. Betty communicates quickly for any questions. Definitely would stay here again if we we are visiting yellow stone again. 18 minutes to West Yellowstone park entrance .
This property was excellent! The home is clean and well maintained with perfect furnishings that were comfortable for everyone. Kitchen was so fun to cook in and also was well stocked. The views and sunsets are also simply stunning! The hosts Betty and Steve are super friendly, very accommodating, and just downright decent people. I would book this house again and would definitely recommend it!
The pics do not do this house justice!! Beautifully maintained had everything we needed and then some. The fire pit was a huge bonus....s’mores were had by all. The perfect location for so many activities. We rented a pontoon boat from the marina down the street and my dad caught some browns ❤️ Betty the owner gave us some great spots to check out! She is simply the best. This property is amazing and full of love!

Everything we hoped for in a family vacation!
A beautiful log cabin perfect for a family gathering. We had five adults and one child--perfect amount of space for us. Could easily handle many more guests. The home was perfect--waking up each morning to the views of Lake Hebgen and the mountain range. Weather was great the first week of June. Great place to spend the entire time away from home or to use as a base to visit Yellowstone or travel to Jackson Hole on a day trip. If you are lucky enough to reserve Steve and Betty's home you will have made your time in the area much more enjoyable!

Perfect Vacation
We rented this cabin when we visited Yellowstone in August. Our big group that included 3 families (6 kids and 6 adults) had a wonderful time at this beautiful and well kept place. After long days in Yellowstone which was easy 15 mins drive from the cabin, we were happy to come back "home" where we can enjoy barbecue on the porch, gorgeous sunsets, bonfire and s'mores, Kids loved running around on the well kept grass, play in the sand box and pet owners' dog Maggie. The house was well stack with everything that we needed from gourmet kitchen to beach towels. The place is PERFECT.

Family Get Together
There were 13 of us ranging in age from 3-66 years, 8 adults and 5 children. The home was spacious, clean, warmly decorated, and it felt like a home not a rental. The grounds were well manicured and complete with sandbox, horseshoes, firepit, and lots of safe area for the children to play and "get some enery out"! The views are spectacular and the owners, Betty & Steve, were friendly, warm, and gracious. We would all highly recommend this home to anyone planning a large family gathering in the Yellowstone area.

Betty and Steve, we staye...
Betty and Steve, we stayed at your beautiful home with our family the week of August 1st of 2009. Kevin Manes, our son-in-law, worked with you on our arrangements. Besides enjoying our family vacation at your cabin, we wanted to thank you for allowing us to stay with our motorhome on the cabin grounds. Thanks to you, we were able to spend precious moments with our children, grandchildren and then meet up with our friends in West Glacier. Thank you so much for everything.

Exceptional vacation!
Our family of ten had a wonderful stay at Betty and Steve's beautiful log home on Hebgen Lake. The house is perfectly set up for a large family gathering -- wonderful master suite on the top floor (with a great view of the lake, balcony, and hammock), and four comfortable bedrooms downstairs all connected to a spacious common room, which leads directly outside. We all love to cook, and we found the kitchen to be exceptional -- large, wonderfully stocked, and perfect for many chefs! It rained during our part of our week, but we enjoyed sitting in the beautiful living room with a roaring fire in the fireplace. The West Yellowstone airport is only 20 minutes away -- so very convenient. This is a perfect place for a wonderful and memorable family gathering!

Family Vacation
Our grown children wanted a family vacation instead of Christmas presents. This was a fantastic gift for everyone. The cabin was beautiful, large and fully equipped with everything you needed. There were 8 adults and 4 children (5 to 13). Plenty of room. The view of Hebgen Lake was breath taking. Not far from West Yellowstone and the entrance to the park.
Made a fire and had mountain pies for dinner and smores several night, celebrated my husbands 66th birthday, kids had large yard to run in. Would recommend this cabin for a fun and relaxing family vacation!

Family Get Together
Our family, 8 adults and 5 children, stayed in this beautiful home for one week. The home and surroundings were everything promised and only 16 miles to the West entrance of Yellowstone National Park. Each evening after a full day of sight seeing, we would come back to the house and enjoy the view from the porches as the children took advantage of the soft grassy lawn, sandbox, horseshoes, and firepit. The home was well stocked with linens, blankets and pillows, Having a washer and dryer was a plus, as well as having a beautiful gourmet kitchen and large outdoor gas grill to prepare our meals. I would recommend this home to any family planning a get together.
