One of the most serene and peaceful places we have stayed in decades!

Great communication with Manager, beautiful location along the Madison river, just a awesome relaxing cabin. You can just sit on porch or even inside on couch and look at the river and mountains and enjoy the serenity. Comfortable beds, lots of space to spread out, issues just text manager and she gets right back to you. Everything you would want in a place to stay along the Madison River.

Just taking it in!

What a beautiful place and location. We have stayed at several rentals and this rental is at the top of our list. Chris the property mgr is amazing! He responds immediately and is full of information in the area. The house It is very clean, comfortable and lots of little personal touches. The pantry items/extra supplies left from you and other renters helped a lot and was appreciated. We fished, went to Yellowstone, went to a rodeo and relaxed, when we were not fishing. Thank you again for allowing us to stay in your beautiful cabin!

Wow! Wow! Wow! This property, not just the house, was above great and spectacular, clean, so well planned, designed, constructed, decorated, and furnished. My sister and my 2 teenage grandchildren loved it. It was so clean!!! I just can't say enough good positive things about it. And the owner Christopher was so responsive and helpful during my planning and pre-trip, and the property manager Chelsie responded so quickly and "sweetly" when we couldn't get the coffee pot to work. At first I was put off that there was no tv on the main floor, but actually we were so busy and gone most of the day that we didn't miss it and was actually nice to unplug from the "world". There are a couple things to note but they are not complaints just reiterating what is noted on the property description: there is virtually no cell service at the house and you have to go to the rest area that is 8 miles up the road, it is a long way to west yellowstone and the park entrance - 35 miles takes longer than 35 minutes out here. Also, maps show 2 ways to get from wrst yellowstone to the property, take the one that goes through island park - it is much straighter and more scenic. About 30 minutes in the other direction from the house is Ennis and a not to miss restaurant The Continental Divide!!! We saw lots of boats and fishermen going down the river, pronghorn, magpies, robins, bluebird, and cedar waxwings. There was evidence of other animals but they didn't come by while we were there. Excellent!!!

Hi Julie, thank you for the excellent and helpful review. I’m glad you enjoyed your stay and hope you come back. Regarding the lack of cell service in rural Montana, I hope you found the high-speed fiber-optic-based WiFi and WiFi calling at the house to be useful. And, yes, GPS services typically list two primary ways back from West Yellowstone to the house—one towards (but not “to”) Island Park in Idaho and the one that I usually take up 191 and then across on 287 past Hebgen and Quake Lakes. Each has their scenic benefits. Thanks again for the feedback!

Breathtaking views and the home is so lovely!

We loved the home! The cabin was so Cozy and accommodating. We had such a excellent time! Mrs. Cynthia and her Husband Mr. Terry are so Kind! You won’t be disappointed! It is secluded and relaxation from the rest of this crazy world. Yellowstone is 60miles away. Ennis is 30. It’s the perfect spot to relax fish and enjoy the people or family you come with! Highly recommend!

Beautiful home well equipped and great location

Our family was very comfortable in this amazing property. Well maintained and excellent property manager communication. Disappointed in fire and fishing restrictions but no fault of the property of course. We also enjoyed the guest house next door for some extra privacy. Views are spectacular throughout the house. Younger children enjoyed playing in nicely manicure lawn out back and front.

Beautiful home and location!

My family and I enjoyed our week long stay here. The house was as pictured. The beds were comfortable. The kitchen was well stocked. The linens were all very nice as well as simple things like toilet paper and paper towels. The only downside was no air conditioning(which is not what we are used to coming from Texas). We ended up purchasing two box fans to help cool the house. We would stay here again during a different season. It does make a great base camp for day trips to Yellowstone, Bozeman, and of course fly fishing the Madison river.

Great place

This house is a great base of operations to fish the Madison, explore Yellowstone National Park and visit all of the small towns near by. The property manager was on the ball with any house issues that arose (and there were a few). The house is fully equipped for a great vacation and in a good location.
