Wonderful kayaking trips out of Mack's inn! The river is beautiful and if you go in the morning there aren't a lot of other people on the river. The staff are nice and helpful. They bus you upstream a few miles and you end on the shore at Mack's inn. If you are ever in island park then give it a go!

This review is for the raft & Kayak rentals! Payton and the staff was very helpful and friendly. They took their time explaining how things work and even gave info of some local places to check out. We had to reschedule our rental a few time and they were very accommodating. I recommend renting from them, just make sure you take your cooler, lots of sunblock and get ready to paddle but take it all in, it's beautiful! We rented kayaks & rafts, good times!

Rented a raft from Mack's, which was conveniently located 15 feet from our hotel SpringHill Suites. The price was more than I wanted to pay, even with 10% discount by showing hotel key, but when in Rome. I looked up other places, but their websites didn't answer all of my questions, and I wasn't in the mood to spend my vacation making phone calls and inquiring, so I just went with Mack's. Included in the price was a shuttle that drove us about 4 miles where our raft and we were dropped off. From there it was about 3 hours of travel down the river and back to Mack's. It

DO NOT STAY HERE THEY HAVE A BEDBUG INFESTATION!!
This was confirmed by maintenance and when I sent an email demanding my money back I received NO RESPONSE.
Also, they say their water was tested last month and is clean (despite e-coli warnings in every room) and my whole family who stayed here with me attending a wedding got sick.
DO NOT STAY HERE!!! YOU WILL GET SICK AND BE EATEN BY BEDBUGS!!!
See the photos I added for proof!!!

Cabin 47 needs some serious tlc. The yard has holes everywhere and there were two windows without curtains, one including the restroom window. There are two beds and a pull out that each have mattresses where you can feel every spring in the bed. The couch looks so dusty and old I was scared to sit on it. This place has a lot of potential, but really needs some work. Blinds for the windows would be great too.

Let's start with the good: Great location for exploring the surrounding areas, including Yellowstone, one of the most comfortable beds I've slept in, and a beautiful view of the river. The riverfront rooms are perfect for the area. It's a little rustic, but it makes sense when you take in where you are.
Now for the downside: The staff is nonexistent and impossible to get a hold of. They didn't have office hours, and when the guy was there, he was unfriendly and seemed genuinely bothered to be speaking to guests.

Stayed for a night after our Yellowstone trip. Place was 25 mins away from Yellowstone. It was easy to find Mack's Inn (right on highway). Front desk guys were friendly and check in was super quick. Cabin has rustic look but have all the required amenities like heater, freeze, microwave etc.
I would definitely recommend this place to anyone who does not expect Hilton/Hyatt in woods.

The only reason for two stars was the young man who took my family up to the drop off point was very intelligent and told us a lot about the area and the place. He was actually an optometrist from Florida working for the fun of it in the summer. The floating of the river is awesome it's gorgeous and amazing. However the fact the place takes no reservations and is first come first serve makes no sense to me. The most disorganized and convoluted way of running things I've ever seen. There may be a reason, I just couldn't figure it out the two hours I waited to get taken up the river

I would give zero stars if I could. Very disappointed. Although their website indicates open 7 days per week weather permitting- they are not. We drove about 2 hours on a Monday expecting to spend a beautiful day floating the Henrys Fork. What we found was a song that said closed today. We stopped in the office to inquire and were told they were closed because the college students were going back to school but to come back the next day. REALLY. I would suggest updating their website to suggest calling ahead towards the end of the season to verify they are open. From the women's lack of interest

I called ahead on our way back to our rental home from Yellowstone Park. We were about 10 minutes out, and when we arrived, had to wait an additional 35 minutes to receive our pizza. There were three young ladies working the kitchen and ice cream counter. One was taking orders, one was making the pizzas, and one was taking food to the guest rooms. We were told there was an oven not working with was why it was taking so long.
Once we received the pizza and were able to go back home to enjoy it, I thought it was good. I've had better, I've had worse.

Came here to rent a few rafts and canoes. What was a seemingly fun idea to go down the river turned into a miserable experience WAITING. We sat for three hours for the shuttles to pick us up. We eventually gave up after wasting hours of or lives. This rental service is the most inefficient operation. They are losing money and customers. Highly disappointed.

Stayed at the River Front Condos so I can't comment on the other accommodations. The condos are old and show it. The room had a few visitors (big creepy bugs). The beds were comfortable but the bedding dated the place. The bath was old and in need of remodeling. There was packing tape around the shower head to keep it from leaking. Molding was off the walls and bathtub. With that said, I have to remember this is a rustic place so you can't expect a fancy resort. Staff were very friendly and wanted to please. I would stay again but I would bring the bug spray. Also, riverfront

We were guests of other family members, so I can't comment on price or the reservation process.
We stayed in one of the riverfront "condo" rooms and, unfortunately, it wasn't very pleasant. The building is from the 1940s, and it shows! Our room was very dated and in need of some significant repairs. The floor in the bedroom not level, sinking down at least an inch as it approached the bathroom. Seems that it has been rotting as the result of water from some overflow? The biggest maintenance problem, though, was the buzzing insect that must have been trapped somewhere

Will and I were literally heading toward the creek without any paddles. Our wives were miles ahead of us, driving the car with the two canoes on top. We were following with lots of gear for our day to float fish "The Ranch", well known amongst fly fishers as nirvana.
Very quietly, but with a physical startling, Will said, "I forgot to load the paddles." And facing a one-hour return to the cabin, plus another hour to get back to where we were, we realized that we were screwed.
But not to worry. We would stop at a couple of rental places and rent paddles. Hmmmmm...
