Getting Around:

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!

    Stayed here for three nights four days. Love the easy self check-in. Finding the location was pretty easy too. The convenience of being not too far from West Yellowstone is a huge plus for me.The view from the backyard is beautiful when you walk up to the lake, just to see it. The cabin is nice and cozy, has a full kitchen, which I loved. The bed was very comfortable to sleep in as well as a bedding. I went during spring however we were experiencing winter temperatures, I am from Miami so anything below 60° is cold lol. The bedding kept us nice and warm. There’s easy instructions for checkout on what you need to do prior to leaving the property. Also, very convenient to communicate with the staff via the Expedia app. The family in the main cabin had left some garbage outside, I addressed it with the staff via the Expedia app, and the trash left outside was addressed immediately. I love the convenience of being able to message on the app and communicate. I highly recommend this place. I will say the shower feels a little small, but you definitely have a lot of room. My favorite part was how quiet it is and you’re able to sleep with no disturbances, I am a light sleeper so this is very important to me.

    My husband & I stayed here 7 nights and had the best experience! Very clean, the kitchen and bathroom have everything you need, it is located in one of the most beautiful areas! I loved the short walk to the lake in the am with my coffee! Very good location if you’re traveling into Yellowstone and want a peaceful stay in nature! It is a cozy cabin! One note is if you are tall you may not like how low parts of the ceiling are. My husband is 5’6 and I would say that is the limit. Other than that I highly recommend staying here! Thank you Cool Hand Luke’s for an amazing adventure!!! Julie and Dave from California

    Needed a good dusting, cobwebs in corners of door frames. Stairway is terrible dark in daytime just dangerous at night. Listing said we would have use of garage and there were trailers parked in it. People opening the garage late in the evening, not the garbage people!!

    The place had a nicely equipped kitchen and a nice bedroom. It lacked a good sitting area to watch TV and relax. The TV was not working our entire stay. The manager never got it working. It would have been nice to have an outdoor sitting area and fire pit. The interior was very dark. A better choice would have been lighter woodwork to

    Bed was wobly and a little hard but fixed that by buying more pillows. WiFi is super slow when it works but there’s cell service. Renters of the main house (not this listing) can open the garage below at any time, which we didn’t know when it opened while we were there the first night. Location is pretty great though.

    We enjoyed our stay. Only objection is that someone opened the garage door before 8AM on two different occasions and the garage is directly below the bedroom.

    Everything here was top notch! We were very impressed with the decor and also all of the amenities supplied! The kitchen was stocked with cookware, utensils and cleaning supplies! The bed linens smelled clean and fresh! Bathroom was supplied with multiple towels for each of us and our choice of soaps and shampoos. We had access to a washer and dryer and detergents were supplied as well. We had internet password supplied for our Wifi service! This is located on a residential street which worked well for us to get our daily runs in while on vacation. Well manicured lawn which gives a great first impression! We would definitely recommend this Vrbo and would love to stay again sometime while visiting Yellowstone National Park.

    I wish I could give this zero stars. We had originally booked this property to stay at on our honeymoon but that didn’t happen. We walked in and started looking around and fount cobwebs everywhere, the ceiling fan in the bedroom had a good half inch of dust on it and the floors were disgusting and not been cleaned in a long time. There were even mouse droppings in one of the window sills. The property management company and vrbo were not helpful in the least bit either. Avoid this place and the property management company at all costs. We ended up leaving the property and staying somewhere else because we were having trouble breathing within 15 minute of being inside the property.
