“The restaurant has an amazing breakfast! We had biscuits and gravy with the pine breakfast. The sausage gravy was absolutely divine, homemade biscuits and don't forget the thick cut bacon ? Trish was very friendly and fun to talk to. Do yourself a favor and stop for breakfast.”
“Timmy and Thomas were kind and professional. We enjoyed our 4 hour adventure. We saw moose, otter, bald eagle, swan and baby ducks. Enjoyed our peaceful river trip. Visiting from NC!”

“We recently stayed here for a week. It was quiet, clean, and furnished all amenities we needed. 2 bed/ 2 bath, full kitchen, large tv in the living area with Directv and the capabilities to login in and stream any services you subscribe to. The WIFI worked great, even when I needed to remotely connect to my work computer through my laptop with no lagging.
Electric fireplace in the living room was nice when we returned back and the evenings were chilly. There is a small grocery store that had everything we needed, and they also sell gasoline so you can fuel up before heading to the area National Parks. They're is also a nice playground area, a pool and an actives area with games (we didn't use any of those services).
The wwst entrance to YNP is about 20 minutes away. Island Park is a beautiful area. We would definitely stay here again. It is a bit dated, as others mentioned, but everything was clean and in good working order. I'm a bit dated myself, so that didn't matter to us. The savings and convenience for us was what mattered since we planned our trip kind of last minute.”
“Henry’s Fork Lodge is without a doubt the best restaurant I’ve been to in the Mountain West. The food is consistently delicious, interesting, and superbly executed, the service is warm and professional, and the lodge itself is beautifully designed and appointed with outstanding views of the Henry’s Fork.”
