Very good

Everything was really clean. The cabin was so cute and had everything you needed. It’s in a very quiet neighborhood and not too far from Yellowstone. We loved how it was decorated. Crystal was excellent at responding to any questions we had. I would definitely recommend this cabin.

Too basic for the price
Our stay at this VRBO was fine. Everything about it was fair. The kitchen was beyond basic, no thrills about it. If you have kids, beware, the addition bedroom entrance is outside the house. Lastly, when we initially entered the home, it smelled like cigarettes and there were used cigarettes outside on the ground, after we aired the house out, the smell went away.
n logement rustique au calme
Your Comments Le logement n'est pas pas suffisamment équipe: pas de table et chaises à l'extérieur. Pas de table pour 4 à l'intérieur. Pas assez d'ustensiles cuisine. 2eme chambre uniquement depuis l'extérieur du logement sans toilette. Trop bas de plafond pour les grandes personnes.
The location is perfect, close to the lake and easy access to Yellowstone Park. We enjoyed being away from the crowds of Yellowstone /West Yellowstone. The only complaint - the bathroom window had no curtain so we had to create one with a towel and the oven was unusable due to a significant amount of grease.
Nice property has beautiful views and super close to the lake!

Needs updated desperately
The beds were clean and comfortable, but that's about all I can say that's good.
The refrigerator froze all of our food, including the eggs. The tray under the freezer had frozen dead earwigs and dirt inside it.
They ask you to remove your shoes upon entering and I have no idea why.
We could not drink the water, to be fair we were informed of that when we reserved the cabin.
They tell you to open the windows if it gets hot, but all the windows were painted shut, we couldn't have opened them if we needed to.
There is a problem with the downstairs TV remote, we had to put new batteries in it every day.
The right arm rest on the couch was broken and kept coming off.
We found dirty utensils in the drawer.
It was a last minute rental, so all in all we were thankful for an open cabin for our trip. But probably would not stay again, sadly. There was no curtain on the bathroom window, we had to hang a towel on the window for privacy.
This cabin has great potential to be comfortable with some upgrades.
It's too bad there is not at least a toilet upstairs, even a port a potty would have been better.
We had to go downstairs and outside then back in through the back door in the middle of the night to use the restroom. Not very conducive to being bear aware. If a bear was outside the cabin when we had to go down to use the restroom it quite possibly could have been disastrous. I hate to leave a bad review, but wanted to leave an honest one.

The property pictures were way out dated by approx 10 years. No water for drinking because of an Ecoli outbreak was not good most of the windows painted shut, tv did not work and after three e mails. No help at all. The place is just runned down and needs lots and lots of upgrades
It was nice!
We didnt stay there much - we went to Yellowstone, but it was exactly what we needed! We would come back again!
They do have clean towels and extra bedding. The extra bedding needed to be washed, but we brought extra.
Beautiful location drive there and back from Yellowstone was stunning. Cabin is cute. Worked for amount of people and location. The bad water was called out in the welcome email but it was not clear the risk it posed to our family and amount of work we would have to take up as guests. A neighbor stopped by and warned us to not drink the water at all and make sure everything was boiled. We went to the store twice to get cases of water and a big jug to cook with and make coffee and tea. So added expense added time. We cooked two meals there a day so that meant we were boiling water to clean our dishes. Added time...we brought our toddler and infant and their grandparents. We wanted to keep those vulnerable immune systems safe. That part was a bummer. The main floor beds mattress was supported by slats and my husband fell through goofing up his back. Easy fix I'm sure their maintenance people can take care of. The location is so pretty and functionality of the space generally worked. Just wish they would have called out the risk more of the water and just supplied us with the water so we didn't have to add it to our planning every day. Hopefully they get the wells all figured out and get better water so this just doesn't even have to be brought up.
This wad a great property. There is a nice kitchen. My children appreciated the separate bedroom area upstairs. The views from the cabin were beautiful and it is located relatively close to Yellowstone but not so close that you are right on top of your neighbor. My family enjoyed staying here and wish we booked the cabin longer.
Great scenery, close to west Yellowstone, but with the pricing on VRBO, it is VERY overpriced. 2 night stay, which isn't a full 2 nights - over $700? Too pricey for what it is.
I went from being a little scared and expecting the worst to being overly excited, thankful and grateful for this location. I couldn't believe how excellent the location was, the day to day household belongings supplied and the custom bonfire pit. I will be going out of my way to recommend and request this location to all and for myself.

PARK RANGER CABIN
House is very dusty and for people who have sensitivity to dust will find it hard to enjoy your stay. There is lots of clutter around the house. Well equipped kitchen comfortable living room, just dusty as hell. Medicine cabinet had someone's things in it and it looked to be there for some time. We didn't use the cabinet. The area is sooo pretty and really quiet. great location.
The cabin was clean and convenient. About 30 minutes (23 miles) from Yellowstone west entrance and immediately on a state park woth a lake. Cool birds in the area but many mosquitos. Be aware it's very small, with a tiny bathroom, so fine for 1 person, cramped for 2, impossible for 3.

Outdated but convenient
Great location for west yellowstone! Beautiful view of the mountains and Henery Lake. We arrived in the dark and it was very had to see because there are no outdoor lights. It took minutes to get the front door open. The deadbolt and door knob are outdated. You cannot remove the key before opening the door. Spider webs were all over in the main bedroom and a wasp on the window seal with visible dust. The fan/light in the main bedroom was missing the cord for the light, so we were never able to use the light other than the small lamp. The ceiling fan/light in the living room was missing the fan cord, so we could not change the fan speed. Half the windows did not open. If they did open, it was difficult to do so. It was hot in the upstairs room throughout the night and the window is small. There was no curtain on the window in the bathroom.
There is plenty of bedding and the blankets were nice. The water pressure in the shower was good. Plenty of towels. We never used the kitchen, but seems to be a large supplies of stuff
We really enjoyed our stay at the cabin! Exactly as we expected. There was no dishwasher but not a problem for us. A great location to the West Yellowstone park entrance. The mosquitoes were out with a vengeance but didn't get inside because of the double door feature.
We will probably be back!
I could not help but wake up feeling refreshed and revitalized in the cool summer morning air at Henry’s Lake. The mountains in the background added to the picturesque stay! Well worth the trip!
