Great memories were made with my family at Mountain Shores Lodge!
Our whole family of 19 people loved our stay. So many wonderful memories were made by all. The view of the lake and mountains from the porch were incredible! Plenty of room for all of us. The short walk to the lake was great as we took turns on the wave runners we rented for a day. The kitchen was very well stocked with supplies which made is very convenient. The large kitchen table is beautiful! The Hot tub was a big hit. Having the garage to store our things was very helpful. Thank you for having the washer & dryer for our convenience and 2 refrigerators. Sharie was a fantastic host and responded to any questions or needs we had. Highly recommend staying at Mountain Shores Lodge!

It was absolutely beautiful, comfortable, and scenic. The kitchen is well stocked with all amenities. Our kids and grandkids had a blast. The laundry room was equipped with two washers and two dryers. This was great for the eleven people staying. Only 20 minutes from the West Entrance gate of Yellowstone.
