Our family of 8 (hubby & me with our 3 adult children and their 1s) had a wonderful time in Yellowstone. Nancy's place was perfect. Easily accessible to all activities (park, ATVing, boat/kayak/canoe rentals). The home is so spacious and perfectly appointed. Highly recommend!!
We loved this house. Location was great, and gave us good access to restaurants in both Island Park and West Yellowstone. The layout was great, beds comfortable, and honestly was our favorite place we stayed this year on vacation.
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.
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!
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!!!!
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.
This property was absolutely what our group of 8 friends needed. After each day in the Park, we came âhomeâ 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 metâŠeven down to a wine frig!!
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!!!
The house was immaculately clean, warm and comforting. The views were terrific and we enjoyed seeing the sunsets over the mountains. The house was beautifully decorated and supplied with everything that you could possibly need. We had a couple of simple questions during our stay and Nancy replied almost immediately. The beds were extremely comfortable and we all slept very well. The West Gate of Yellowstone is 15-20 minutes away. I would highly recommend this beautiful home to anyone visiting Yellowstone and the surrounding area.
We loved the location. About 15-20 minutes outside of West Yellowstone (depending on traffic), with Henrys Lake State Park across the highway (hwy 20).
The home itself is definitely not the standard rental. Very nice inside and out. Great deck (goes around the whole house, with excellent western/sunset view). The wooden cabin feel was great.
The layout works well, with 3 bedrooms at ground floor (2 bathrooms), 1 bedroom second ("main" with kitchen, deck is on this level) floor (one bathroom), and the loft ("third" floor) has 1 bedroom (one bathroom).
The host seem to be available whenever we called to asked questions and was very helpful.
Everyone who stayed with us (for family reunion) had a great time and really liked the place.
One thing to note is that the temperature in the house varies quite a bit depending on which floor you are on.; i.e., first floor is "cold" as all the cold air seems to just goes right down there, while second floor is just perfect, and loft can get hot, but with the windows and fans, you get good cross breeze. This is not a big deal because we spend most of our time on the "main" (2nd) floor, which is very comfortable, and you can easily regulate the temperature with either the air cond or just opening the windows to allow air flow.
Overall, would definitely rent this place again if we are in the area. We highly recommend this place!
We found Nancyâs cabin looking for a place to stay around West Yellowstone on our motorcycle trip. The views of Henryâs Lake are absolutely gorgeous from the house, especially from the expansive wraparound deck. This cabin really stands out from the crowd in just how accommodating it is⊠plenty of seating, a well-organized kitchen that actually has the utensils you need, a large grill that actually works complete with a full tank of propane, quality artwork throughout, very comfortable beds, etc., etc. It is apparent in everything that this is a well cared-for home, especially the attention to detail given in the cleaning.
Nancy is very attentive as well, making sure we had everything we need, and was quick to ship us back in the mail a few items that we had forgotten there.
Thank you Nancy, we would definitely stay here again!
We stayed for 3 nights at this house. We had an amazing time. Nancy is a great host. The house was spacious. The children had an amazing time playing games. Nancy had left all the essential food supplies and amenities in the kitchen. We had a fun time eating on deck and star gazing at night. We did s'mores also. Nancy had left firewood by the side of the fireplace. Directions to the house were easy. We had no trouble finding the house. Check-in and check-out processes were smooth.
I would give 3 suggestions.
Please make the check-out time at 11 AM. I know that the house requires cleaning and preparation for the next guest but it would help if check-out time is extended by 1 hour, especially with large groups like us with young kids.
Also, I would suggest having small utensils if food needs to be cooked for 1-2 people only. We had plenty of large utensils but sometimes only 1-2 people wanted to eat and large utensils had to be used for cooking for 1-2 people.
Also, please provide a rice cooker if possible.
Otherwise, the house was perfect. We would stay again and would recommend it.
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 hostâs 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!
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.
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.
Very beautiful home. Lots of room to spread out. Decor was fantastic. Views from the front deck overlooking Henry Lake were great. Nancy has lots of information for her guests regarding things to do in the area. Would definitely stay here again if in the area. Would highly recommend.
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!!
My family and I stayed in this cabin during our Yellowstone National Park trip. The cabin is ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL. Every room is impeccably decorated and you immediately feel right at home. The location is perfect if youâre planning a trip to Yellowstone. The owners are amazing and easy to communicate with. This is a 5 star property that I would highly recommend to everyone I come in contact with!!! Iâm so happy I got to experience this beautiful cabin with the amazing views!
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.
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.
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.
