Spacious nice home in a great location!

The stunning view from the home overlooks Hebgen lake and mountains. The hot tub is amazing after a long day of hiking and touring Yellowstone. There was plenty of room for our party of 10. The house is only 15 min from town for groceries and the park entrance. We saw Bison just down the street. Bucky, the house manager was very kind & helpful. Enjoy!

Fantastic Family Yellowstone Vacation

All was great- location to Yellowstone, large house, great hot tub as bonus, kitchen well equipped. (Only slight difference from apparent image is that there a highway between the house and the lake). Bucky was super friendly and responsive. Family gathering from all over US- all give it a double thumbs up.

Montana 50th Celebration

The property was everything that we expected and more. It was perfect for a group of 12, adults and kids. It is conveniently located to many attractions at Yellowstone, but yet still feels like we were in the mountains to ourselves. The cabin is well supplied with everything we needed except food, of course. Bucky, the caretaker, was very attentive, and helped us with everything that we needed. We would definitely stay at the property again if we ever get the chance.

First Montana Vacation

The property was great. Authentic Montana lodge feel with rustic decor. Lots of room. Property had everything we needed for our stay. Property Manager Bucky was outstanding in terms of responsiveness. He shared great info and advice on visiting Yellowstone, fishing, and local wildlife. Would book this property again.

Great family vacation rental!

This house exceeded my expectations. There were 8 of us aged 11 to 74. The rooms were large - the kitchen has 2 ovens, 2 microwaves, 2 dishwashers and 2 coffee pots. The hot tub was a family favorite every night. Bucky the caretaker was just a text away and was very responsive although we had little reason to text him ("Where did you say the toilet paper was?"). I would highly recommend this rental.

Responsiveness of Owner & Caretaker

Our family very much enjoyed staying at the Snider's place! The views of the Hebgen Lake are outstanding! The house is comfortable and spacious; plenty of space for our family of 16! Darryl Snider and Bucky, the caretaker, were so responsiveness no matter what the questions or needs were. And, the jacuzzi was so relaxing at the end of a sightseeing day and with a view to die for! Thank you!

Breathtaking views.

The house was perfect and Bucky the caretaker was wonderful and gave us great advice about our travels around Yellowstone. The only thing we can say is that the views from the house are more spectacular than you see on this listing. Having four full bathrooms was great for our large family group. Overall, it was an unforgettable trip at a wonderful property.

Amazing

If you want to have an amazing time experiencing yellowstone, Montana, or just getting away and being in a beautiful cabin/area, this place met all the marks. Buck is as hands off or on as you want him to be but he is always down or willing to help. If I'm ever back in the area I want to be at this location.

log cabin by the lake

Wonderful cabin, the milieu could only have been better if the fires in the west were not raging. Cabin was wonderful in the interior and accommodations were more than sufficient. Kitchen was stocked with everything we needed and was great for our group of 13. The only problem we had was no 'internet' but this is really the only issue we had, being so remote and it being down, they did not have enough time to get in the providers schedule, c'est la vie, we talked more, looked at our phones less, and watched a good bit of the Olympics. Last thing was the nearness to the Yellowstone entrance, 15 minute drive, and really a hop, skip and a jump from Big Sky and Bozeman.

Beautiful and spacious

This property was beautiful and had so much space for our extended family vacation - there were 11 of us in total and the space worked perfectly. The kids loved the home theater and we all loved the hot tub! The kitchen was huge and served as a great gathering spot for meals. We also loved the porch swing and spent our "happy hours" swinging and looking at the lake and mountains. We loved this cabin!

Dream Getaway

extremely comfortable, well equipped home only 15 miles from the west entrance of yellowstone. It is on the lake with stunning views and you can easily spend your time relaxing in and arund the house.It was hard for us to leave and visit the park because the home and the surroundings were so great. Bucky the caretaker lives on the property (in an annexe) and is very responsive and helpful. The wifi can be spotty but who needs the internet when you are surrounded by a piece of heaven. Will hopefully be back.

Great house, gorgeous location.

Family of 11 stayed here to celebrate Grandpa's 70th birthday!! This is s terrific house, huge!! Three generations here and room and privacy for all. Home is very comfortable and fully equipped with everything we could possibly need. We visited Yellowstone several times, Big Sky and had 2 lovely days doing water sports on the lake. Bucky the caretaker is terrific. Responded to questions immediately and very helpful. I would highly recommend this home. We are VRBO owners ourselves and have high expectations. All ours were met. Thank-you Darryl, Justin and Bucky!! Susan and Charles

PERFECT!

This Log Home was beautiful and well appointed. Great views of the lake and mountains from the decks and hot tub! Perfect location for launching daily fly fishing trips. We had eight fishermen and it worked out perfectly. Care taker on site if you needed him. Lakeview Restaurant within walking distance. Perfect! Would definitely go back!
