WOW. There truly aren't any equals for this property near West Yellowstone. If you'd like to be based in this area and Life of Riley Lodge is available, take it!! The location was stunning; it was such a treat to have the lake there (with a full complement of kayaks, canoes, etc!). The house was immaculate and fully stocked with kitchen tools, puzzles board games, beach towels, gym equipment, you name it! Our delightful host even left concession-style candy to enjoy with movie nights! Speaking of which, a huge part of the joy of this home comes with its attentive and caring owner, Sarah. I spoke with Sarah multiple times on the phone beforehand, and she thoughtfully designed a full Yellowstone itinerary for our family; even making us a customized website! It was truly like hiring a boutique travel concierge service. She was also very responsive; when I misjudged the time it would take to arrive at the cabin and showed up 1.5hrs early with melting ice cream in the summer heat, she was gracious enough to let us in early. Overall, we can't recommend Life of Riley Lodge as a home base more strongly. One of the highlights of our family vacation!
