Other Things to Note:

What to bring with you!- You're coming to a wilderness area to vacation and if you plan your vacation well you will have a positive experience. In the summertime May and through the middle of June can tend to be cooler early morning and toward the evening hours. Make sure to bring a jacket and long pants you can change into when needed. Bring a pair of tie up shoes to protect your feet. Shoes likes flip flops or sandals will not protect your feet when you are out exploring. Layering your clothing is a good idea and then if your too warm you can take off clothing as needed. At least this way when departing your cabin early morning to go site seeing you will have what you need with you. July and August are pretty warm and you should still bring a light jacket. The rest of the year you will want to bring heavier jackets and long underwear, snow suits etc. You will need to bring your private toiletries like bar soap and shampoo as we do not provide this for you. Cabins are equipped with everything else you should need except food of course. Snow tires and four-wheel-drive are recommended for traveling in Eastern Idaho during the winter. Road conditions can change quickly, and even well-traveled highways are occasionally closed by blizzards or high winds. Before setting out, check the Transportation Department's website or call 511 for an automated, up-to-the-minute status of all thoroughfares. Wise motorists will also carry emergency gear (shovel, snack bars, water, blankets) in their vehicles to be ready for any contingency. Coming Snowmobiling? A reminder to anyone traveling back country areas whether skiing, snowmobiling or hiking: Remember the time of year, exercising all back country cautions. Take necessary equipment and survival gear when venturing into the back country. If you have a GPS and cell phone, be sure to take them with you, but do not rely on them entirely for a safe rescue if you find yourself in trouble or stranded. Cell phones should be kept close to your body & turned off to keep the battery full, so it's not searching for a signal & running the battery down. Avalanche Transceivers and equipment, knowing what the avalanche conditions are, and knowing skills to save lives are a must for everyone entering back country riding or traveling. Plan ahead. Make sure you know the area you are going into before heading into it. If you find yourself in trouble, stop, take a look around you, and do not go any further. The further you go the more complicated and dangerous it is to get yourself to safety, also making rescue efforts more difficult and dangerous. Make mental notes in relation to any physical features or landmarks that would assist in your rescue. Make a plan, stick to your plan, narrow the riding area, & most of all...let someone know WHERE you are planning to go!



Interaction with Guests:

If guests have any questions or concerns during their stay, Please call or text, we do not monitor Airbnb messages late in the evening or early morning. Contact information is listed in our information that we send. Please do not hesitate to contact us if you have any questions, we're happy to help!

Peaceful Island Park cabin

We enjoyed our stay at the cabin. The cabin overall was very good. The kitchen was stocked with all the items one would think of needing to cook your own meals. If you can think of it, it is there. The bedrooms/beds were very nice and we slept very comfortable. The sofa bed was even nice. There were a couple of minor items on the cabin that are in need of repair but didn't affect our stay at all./ The area is very peaceful and quiet.

Yellowstone Trip

Overall this was a great place to stay for our trip to Yellowstone through the West entrance. It was about a 40 minute trip to enter the park, so depending on where you were going in the park the time varied from 1 1/2 hours or longer. This wasn’t an issue for us. The cabin was clean and comfortable. The kitchen was well stocked and the beds were comfortable. Kleenex and hair dryers would have been nice amenities. Overall, this was a great place to stay.

Family Friendly

We enjoyed our stay at this home. The kids had room to spread out and the place suited us well (we love to cook and were tired of meals on the road). It was a little bit of a drive to get to places but that was OK with us as we were on an exploring road trip. I appreciated the quiet retreat to the house each night.

Great place a little far from things

Everything was great about this place except for the location. It's accurate that it's about 35 minutes from the park entrance, but we found ourselves having to drive 90 minutes minimum to see anything inside Yellowstone. Clean place, great hot tub, lots of books of Mormon.

Cute family cabin

We loved this house! It was so cozy and comfortable! We went to Yellowstone while there and the drive was about 40 minutes to get there. It was nice to have a full kitchen and plenty of room, plus a hot tub to use after walking all day. Only complaint would be the blinds and curtains. A lot of blinds were missing and the curtains were hard to close each night. There was no sleeping in or getting dressed in our room upstairs because so many blinds were missing. We would definitely rent this place again, it’s perfect for families.

Great Cabin Retreat

Overall the Cabin was great for our group of friends. The only hassle we had to deal with was the boil water notice. We kind of wish we were told prior to booking the place since it was difficult to brush our teeth and cook with the water provided. I believe we were told about the water issue 2 days before our check in. The check in process was seamless as there was a key box outside which was nice. The cabin was great, really cozy. The only difficult part was we did cook all our meals so if I could recommend something, it would be for the host to just update some of the cooking utensils such as cooking spoons/pots/pans. But just a suggestion! The place was clean and we loved that there were several towels provided. The cabin is located a bit out of the city. There is a gas station that is near by but for larger grocery stores you will have to drive out a bit. But that was also kind of nice being out in the country side. Overall I would recommend this cabin to anyone looking for a nice retreat for a large gathering as it housed me and my group of friends comfortably over the Labor Day weekend!

Great Stay in Island Park

The place was very nice and as described-clean with kitchen amenities, soap, paper towels, toilet paper, dishwasher tabs, laundry detergent-which was very nice. The hot tub was awesome-we enjoyed getting in every night after being at Yellowstone. Only a 35 minute drive to West Yellowstone Entrance. We enjoyed our stay very much and would come back again when in the area.

Great base for Yellowstone trip

Great cabin that we enjoyed very much! Super clean with a list of sanitizing that was done. Kitchen is fully stocked with all the dishes/appliances you could possibly use. The living room furniture is super comfortable and the hot tub was great. It was just the two of us so we stayed downstairs but there’s tons of room for a large family with the upstairs. Very detailed instructions via email on getting there and getting the key made our arrival super easy. Only a few minor notes—no directions for the hot tub which would have been helpful, the last two roads are kind of rough and oddly enough no hair dryer. After leaving, I thought maybe there was one in the upstairs’ bathroom but I didn’t think to look. **Oh, and be sure to get gas in west Yellowstone or before going to Island Park—gas there is like 60¢ higher per gallon for some reason.**
