This is a great cabin in a great location, and the owner is incredible to work with. I highly recommend and plan on booking again. Island park is beautiful enough, but this place just made it that much better.
We had a mini family reunion and all met at this cabin. It is a beautiful cabin in a great location. We were about 45 min from Yellowstone, and went to fish and paddleboard in one of the nearby lakes. The cabin has many amenities and their was a grocery store not far for little things we needed. The host was amazing, very quick to reply when needed. I highly recommend this cabin and host!
Property was organized neatly. Directions on what is expected of you. We traveled to Yellowstone daily and returned each evening. State parks and horseback riding available within minutes. Played ping pong each night. Tv and internet worked great during storms. Did not regret staying here as I have regrets on other places in the past.
Overall great stay at this cabin. Whole family enjoyed our time here, everything about the cabin and all it included/had to offer, and the area we were in. Clean, spacious, and nice/communicative host. Would recommend and stay here again in future for another trip to Yellowstone.
We had 8 of us staying here for a family vacation to Yellowstone. This cabin was perfect! It is located in a great location and was lovely. We enjoyed the firepit and hot tub, as well. Communicating with Lana was easy and she gave a lot of ideas for things to do and places to go. She was an unexpected boon to our vacation. We also had a little hiccup with the hot tub heating and she had someone come out to fix it in short order. If we ever are back out that way, we would totally stay here again in a heartbeat!! I think her family's vacation home has inspired my brother to build one possibly. We, truly, enjoyed staying here!!
First when we drove up to the cabin, there is a single wide trailer right on the corner. And next door there is a trailer that is trashed and demolished just laying there in the road. You walk into the front door and you run right into a ping pong table that you have to walk around. Thereâs no air conditioning and in the upper 80âs it gets really hot and stuffy during the day. And at night itâs hot upstairs even with the windows and fans going. The ceiling fan in the living room only stays on low and there is no other fans downstairs. We called and asked for some fans to be delivered and the host responded by telling us to open the windows and we would be fine. That did not help. The windows in the living room were fixed so no circulation in the main area. Plus you have to pay to take the trash off. You have to pay to the dump down the road. Not happy with our stay
We loved this cabin. Everyone loved the hot tub and the table tennis. The host was great. She promptly responded when I emailed with questions. We spend most of our time boating on the lake. Such a nice cabin to come back to!
Maybe I'm too critical - read below for good and bad
Giving this place a generous 4 stars. Honest review now.
Plenty of room for our crew of 8 people. Kitchen was well-appointed (less commonly had a flat-top griddle, waffle-maker, insta-pot, and slow-cooker) as well as most spices, and even had coffee. There was a cooler supplied for day trips as well.
Many of the knives were not sharp. Beds were comfortable except the top bunk, but my 5 year old didn't complain. Couldn't figure out how to turn up the heat on the hot tub until the last day (LOL). I will mention that the road to the cabin is unpaved (because our friend's car rental was not supposed to drive on unpaved roads - oh well), but the driveway is, and could fit probably 4 cars or more. There is not enough room in the laundry room-bathroom. There were barely enough towels and washcloths for all of us. We had to wash laundry nearly every day and you cannot fully open the dryer door - this is my biggest peeve about the place. It hits the sink cabinet on the opposing wall. We could not find a spigot to top off the water on the hot tub or rinse things off outside. The living room is comfortable for resting in the evenings - really nice reclining sofas. The ping pong table was great for downtime. There is a small backyard area with a firepit which the boys enjoyed building fires. The front door keypad was a little finicky at times. Yellowstone was closed to flooding while we were there which was a huge bummer. We tried to make the most of it, and found other things to do in the area like rent ATVs (many trails all around), Grand Teton NP, Mesa Falls, Craters of the Moon, Grizzly and Wolf Discovery Center. Harriman State Park was gorgeous and would be a fantastic place for fly-fishing and they have horseback riding there. Would I stay here again? End of the day, I felt the place was overpriced. I could buy 4700 Hotwheels cars for my boys. The flooding happened within just a couple days of our stay so there was no getting our deposit back or our friends canceling their flights. Next time to Yellowstone we will probably take an RV for just my family. We drove all the way from NC to stay here.
Our family group of 12 stayed for Presidentâs wknd to snowmobile. We absolutely loved this cabin with so much room! The large loft upstairs was amazing! And the bedrooms upstairs were perfect for the two small families that were with us. A clean working hot tub was greatly appreciated. This cabin has a warm homey feel to it! And there was ample cookware for all our needs which is a nice change, even finding a griddle, which came in so handy. We needed cinnamon, which no one had remembered, and this cabin had some lol. Small thing, but most rentals donât have those little things. Ample towels and lots of blankets and bedding for our big group was a plus. And we loved that each bedroom had its own heat source too. This is an exceptional rental for sure!!
Great way to experience the beauty of Island Park winters. Great options for sleeping many. Warm and cozy ambience. Hot tub was a nice addition.
We visited following a huge storm so plows were behind, leaving us stuck attempting the driveway. Manager was great at resolving concerns and offering solutions.
Everything we needed for family vacation to Yellowstone/Tetons
Property was clean/welcoming when we arrived for our 8-day family (7) vacation to Yellowstone/Tetons. Best things: kitchen table seating 8 to eat/play games together, hot tub to use when we returned from a day's outing, well furnished kitchen and extra room so we weren't in each others way. It was close enough to get to Yellowstone/Tetons each day. Host Lana was responsive to questions.
We stayed here for our bucket list trip to Yellowstone. This cabin was nicer then expected and not too far from Yellowstoneâs west entrance. It had everything we needed and then some. The family loved the ping pong table and hot tub. The furniture in the living room was comfortable to lounge on after our long days at the park. I highly recommend this cabin.
Our family had a wonderful time in Island Park. The cabin was well stocked with kitchen supplies and towels. It had everything we needed. We had a great time exploring the area and Yellowstone.
Everything went smoothly, totally enjoyed our stay. Cabin is beautiful, family friendly and hot tub was lots of fun. Kitchen is well stocked had everything we needed including large pans. We couldâve used another set of queen size sheets for a bed we made up on the futon.
An amazing cabin, tons of space, loved the hot tub
We stayed here for a week in August 2020. It was a crazy year with lots of canceled vacation plans. We decided to be socially distant in Idaho. This cabin had everything we needed. The kids loved the Ping Pong table. We soaked in the hot tub every night after long days exploring the area. The grill was great for steaks and burgers. The beds were nice. Loved the animal mounts throughout the house. Definately felt like a hunting cabin.
You could tell that this area was all about ATV's and snowmobiles. Yellowstone was approximately 40 minutes away. Jackson was around 2 hours. Make sure you take time to explore Mesa Falls. WOW! It's a hidden gem that would make the front cover of any photo book.
We only had 6 people and I can see how this cabin can easily pile in a lot more. The nearest Walmart is just over an hour away, so I'd recommend getting groceries prior to arriving. The store in West Yellowstone is pretty expensive (2X on everything). The owner provided great communication. It's a cabin full of great memories. Go add a couple of your own.
Owner requested for us to phone when we arrived for entry info to get in cabin. Phone call not returned my husband was able to locate key so we did get in to the cabin. Next day owner did text that she forgot to give entry information. When I explain the dishwasher had not been empty and the towels where not washed. She stated she had been there and left the cabin that way. When I pay a 225.00 cleaning fee I expect it to be clean when I arrive and not to start my trip completing someone else work. But the cabin is beautiful and the area amazing just more attention to details and easier entry to the cabin would have made it perfect.
We loved this cabin! There was plenty of room for everyone. The location was perfect for exploring Island Park as well as touring Yellowstone. The ping pong table, hot tub, fire pit and grill rounded out the package nicely!
The host was excellent! The cabin was exactly as described. I loved the detailed instructions about how to operate the heat as we definitely needed it. It was very cold during our stay. I would definitely recommend this place and hope to stay here in the future. We are hoping to make this an annual trip and will consider this place first every time!
