Crimson Meadow | 20 Min to Yellowstone + Fire Pit

20 minutes from Yellowstone. A world away from the crowds. Crimson Meadow is a cozy 2-bedroom Island Park cabin surrounded by wide-open land and peaceful Idaho scenery. Spend your days exploring Yellowstone, fishing, hiking, or getting out on the water, then come home to grill dinner on the deck and settle in around the fire pit. Inside, a full kitchen, comfortable living space, queen bedroom, and second full bedroom make it an easy home base for couples, small families, or friends.

20MINUTES FROM YELLOWSTONE. A WORLD AWAY FROM THE CROWDS.

Welcome to Crimson Meadow — a cozy little Island Park cabin surrounded by open land, fresh mountain air, and plenty of room to slow down.

Yellowstone’s West Entrance is about 20 minutes away, making this an easy home base for days spent chasing waterfalls, watching wildlife, wandering geothermal boardwalks, and seeing just how much of the park you can fit into one trip.

Then you get to leave the crowds behind.

Come home, fire up the grill, eat dinner outside, and settle around the fire pit as the evening gets quiet.

Crimson Meadow isn’t oversized or overdone. It’s comfortable, private, and refreshingly simple — exactly what you want after a big day outside.

THE CABIN

Inside, the cabin has a warm, classic feel with everything you need for an easy stay.

The living room gives you a comfortable place to relax after a day of exploring, while the full kitchen makes breakfast before Yellowstone and dinner at home simple.

Gather around the dining table, put your feet up, and make yourself at home.

Sleeping arrangements:

Bedroom 1 — Queen bed
Bedroom 2 — Queen bed
Living room — Full sofa bed

2 bedrooms | 1 full bathroom

The setup works especially well for couples, a small family, or a few friends looking for a quieter alternative to staying right in West Yellowstone.

YELLOWSTONE, JUST DOWN THE ROAD

For most guests, Yellowstone is the reason for the trip — and Crimson Meadow puts you wonderfully close.

Leave early for wildlife watching. Spend the afternoon around Old Faithful and Grand Prismatic. Find a trail, stop at a waterfall, or pack a lunch and follow the road until something catches your eye.

With the West Entrance about 20 minutes away, you can spend more time inside the park and less time getting there.

And when the day is done, you have your own quiet place in Island Park waiting for you.

EVENINGS OUTSIDE

This is when Crimson Meadow really settles in.

Step onto the deck, throw something on the grill, and enjoy dinner outside while the light fades across the open landscape.

Later, move over to the fire pit.

Bring the marshmallows. Pull up a chair. Stay out a little longer than you planned.

With wide-open skies and far fewer city lights, Island Park evenings have a way of becoming part of the vacation too.

Fire pit use is subject to local fire restrictions.

EXPLORE ISLAND PARK

Yellowstone may be the headline, but there’s plenty to explore without entering the park.

Spend a day fishing the Henrys Fork, head toward Henrys Lake or Island Park Reservoir, paddle, hike, ride nearby trails, or visit local favorites like Big Springs, Johnny Sack Cabin, and Mesa Falls.

And if your ideal vacation includes one completely unscheduled afternoon

We support that too.

Sleep in. Make breakfast. Sit outside. Read a book. Let the day happen.

CRIMSON MEADOW

Some trips need a packed itinerary.

Others just need a good place to come home to.

Crimson Meadow gives you both — Yellowstone close enough for big adventure days, and a quiet little cabin where evenings can be as simple as dinner outside, a fire after dark, and nowhere else you need to be.
