Our family rented this house and the one next to it for a week to celebrate my father's 90th birthday. He had said last year that he would love to visit Yellowstone one more time, having brought us children here more than 50 years ago and visiting once again more than 10 years ago. This location was ideal for visiting the park, but was also close to so many other family activities. We could have stayed another week! The house had everything we needed for our stay. The hot tub was a hit with young and old alike, especially after the snow we experienced on our first day. We definitely felt at home and would recommend the house to other families.
We had a great time on our trip to Yellowstone. The Cozy Bear Lodge was conveniently located about 10 minutes from the west Yellowstone entrance, making it easy to come and go. We had 9 people, 6 adults and 3 kids, stay at the house and there was plenty of room. Everyone enjoyed the game room and hot tub at the end of the day. The house had many dry goods, and condiments already there that we didnât need to buy which was helpful. Rand gave us great restaurant recommendations in town as well. Highly recommend!
We had a great stay, comments from the entire family was it was a great atmosphere for our vacation to Yellowstone. We had clear communication with the owner.
The property owner Rand was excellent to work with. The home was very clean and someone had clearly put a good deal of thought into preparing it for guests. The home had everything we needed to have an enjoyable stay. We will recommend the home to others and use again ourselves in the future.
The property had plenty of room for our group of 9 people. While the downstairs and Master showers
were on the tight side, The kitchen worked well. We enjoyed our stay at this property.
Property was clean and had everything we needed. Kids absolutely loved the game room and the many televisions to watch what they wanted for the few times we were not out on our scheduled activities.
The cabin was the perfect place for our family gathering and Yellowstone snow coach tour. It was clean, well-equipped, and nicely designed. The location is quiet, but not isolated, close to the highway, and large windows have beautiful views. We especially enjoyed the hot tub and foosball table and had a wonderful stay!
We were super pleased with our stay at Cozy Bear! It was everything we expected and more. It was very convenient for Yellowstone and we were able to relax with plenty of room in the house in the evenings. We also rented side by sides from Island Park Rental and explored some of the area around the cabin and lake. It was just as beautiful as Yellowstone! We would love to come back and stay to explore even more if life permits! Thank you!!!
We had such a fabulous time Rand and Sonia were wonderful, the owners. Your cozy bear home is so cozy and so beautifully decorated. It was so well equip. If we make it back to Yellowstone, we will definitely stay here again.
Property was just what we needed. Convenient to West Gate of Yellowstone NP which is best gate for access to the whole park. Well appointed kitchen. Clean. Comfortable beds. Hot tub great for relaxing after busy day hiking around Yellowstone. Convenient also to town of West Yellowstone. Washer and dryer great for doing laundry. Rand was easy to communicate with and responsive to our only minor problem. Would recommend it to any family visiting Yellowstone area.
We loved staying at the Cozy Bear! Very clean, lots of space for our whole family, and great location! Very close to West Yellowstone. The kids loved the game room downstairs and the hot tub! Thank you for everything!
Giving a rating of 4 because the inside of the house was immaculate but outside needed cleaned up a little (didnât give a good first impression when we pulled up). Kitchen and laundry room were very well-stocked. Plenty of room to hang out with the family and all of the bedrooms were perfect. The house was not far from Yellowstone entrance and was close vicinity to the little town which we enjoyed shopping and had a few very good meals. Also enjoyed the family-owned rodeo that was close to the house.
P.S. we knew there wasnât air conditioning but whole house air would be a plus since the main floor was pretty warm.
Our family of six adults absolutely loved our time at Cozy Cabin In the Woods. It was huge with a separate bedroom for each family member, plenty of bathrooms and lots to do. We grilled out every night followed by bonfires and then family games - Mom and Dad ruled the foosball table! Don't worry about the location if planning to visit YNP - it works great. So much better than staying in West Yellowstone. We were out the door everyday at 6:30am and no problem getting easily into the park and to our main events each day - Lamar Valley, Canyon, and OF. The hosts are great with communication and promptness for requests - we need another propane tank. If planning for a group trip to YNP - this is your "home"!
The property owner was very responsive to all inquiries. This location was the cleanest property we have ever rented. House was perfectly suited to our family (ages 7 to 77!â
Thought we would use this location to go back into Yellowstone but we found many things in Island Park area that our family enjoyed including the Bear and Wolf reserve, rodeos, horseback riding, ATV rentals, and fishing! Canât go wrong with property!
The Cozy Bear Home was PERFECT for our family of nine (7 adults and 2 tweens). The layout afforded each family personal space while allowing for family gatherings in the great room and game room. The kids enjoyed the amenities provided in the lower level game room. The hot tub was perfect for the adults and kids after a long day hiking. The proximity to Yellowstone was a plus! In addition, this may be the MOST well stocked of any vacation rental we have stayed at. The owners thought of EVERYTHING! Our Thanks to the owners for a Perfectly Cozy getaway.
We loved that everyone had a king or queen bed to sleep in.
Kitchen was, as most said, on the small side but it worked and gave us some cozy times and some laughter. We used the bedroom with the bunk beds as our pantry.
The place was well equipped with supplies and household appliances. Rand was very responsive to questions and request. Everyone who stopped by, was friendly and came to the door to let us know they were on the property.
Loved that it was close to the entrance to Yellowstone!
The host was phenomenal! He always responded quickly and went above and beyond! They had all the things available such as plenty of paper towels, garbage bags, coffee filters, seasoning, detergent, etc. The house was perfect for our family of 8 adults with 4 bunks to spare! We will be back and will book with Cozy Bear again!
Overall the place was very nice. Very well stocked for all items. The only thing we needed to bring was our food and drink. Plenty of room for the kids to play and for the adults to have some alone time. It was in quiet area and close to Yellowstone.
