Heaven

Our family stayed at the R Ranch for 4 days in late Sept. We all fell in love with it. As first time visitors to the area it was exactly what we were looking for. The decor was amazing and every room was special. The cabin was Cozy and very well supplied. The views are fabulous! We went out exploring every day and came back to a glass of wine on the deck. Out of all the places we stayed between ID, Jackson Hole and Gardiner MT ...this place was our favorite. Thank you!

Simply Fantastic.

Our family vacation was wonderful and this home played a huge role. Each day we looked forward to getting “home” to eat and relax. It was located centrally to our activities (Visiting Yellowstone Park; Fly Fishing; horseback riding and spending time in West Yellowstone. Nancy and Reec were excellent hosts and we had everything we needed to make our stay comfortable.

Beautiful

What a beautiful home! The view was spectacular, and the house was carefully decorated and very comfortable. It was the perfect place for a group of friends to stay and enjoy Yellowstone and the surrounding area.

Lovely Lake Property

Very comfortable, rustic lake, well appointed home. We stayed here while exploring West Yellowstone. House was clean, beds comfortable, bathrooms well outfitted. The location was great and lake views magnificent. Earthquake Lake and Virginia City also easy to get to from this spot.

About the host

Hosted by Nancy Rumsey

We bought our first cabin on Henry's Lake in 2014 and have been working hard since to renovate log homes (Rees and I work together and do all the renovations) and offer them as amazing vacation rentals. Rees owns his own commercial hardwood flooring company and I have been buying/renovating and decorating homes for the past 15 years. When we bought this home I just knew it needed a Ranch feeling and a taste of the American West.

Why they chose this property

Rees always teases (complains and grumbles) that "It's never done"... I always say "that's not true" but... "It's never done" happened one more time (for the third time). So here's to Rees. R RANCH. One more huge labor of love and we are so excited to share this one with you. So to answer, why this property? Because, it's amazing and you will not find a better view anywhere.
