We are sharing our family cabin in Island Park. Our cabin is 18 miles from the west entrance of Yellowstone National Park, but only a few miles as the crow flies. Island Park is the same ecosystem as Yellowstone. The area is heavily wooded, there are lots of rivers, ponds, and lakes (with blue ribbon fishing), lots of animals (e.g., moose, grizzly and black bears, elk, bald eagles, coyotes, and if you get really lucky you might see a wolf!), and 100's of miles of recreation trails. You can snowmobile or ride your UTV/ATV right from the cabin. Henry's Lake for fishing or recreating is a five-minute drive, and Island Park Reservoir is about 15 minutes. Harriman State Park is only 30 minutes to the south. Big Springs, where you can feed the biggest trout you've ever seen, is only a few miles. The drive to Mesa Falls (~30 miles) might be the most beautiful you haven't yet experienced, and the falls themselves are spectacular and easily accessible to anyone.

We love to cut s'mores in our fire pit, grill tasty meat, and sit on the master balcony and listen to all the sounds at night. We love visiting Yellowstone, but we often choose to ride our side by side (we can usually cover about 100 miles/day without ever traversing the same road). The recreation trails in Island Park are meticulously maintained.

A few highlights:
-18 miles to Yellowstone National Park
-4 miles to the Yellowstone Playhouse
-World class fishing in, literally, every direction
-Private master balcony on the top level and a large wrap around deck on the main level (with outdoor furniture on each)
-Fully equipped kitchen
-BBQ, propane provided
-Fire pit
-TV and Roku
-Fast fiber Internet
-Washer and Dryer
-Dishwasher

The cabin is laid out as follows. The main level has a large family room with a TV and two built-in desks, a dining area with a table large enough to seat 8 adults, the kitchen, and a full bathroom (bathtub and shower). The top level has two bedrooms and a sleeping loft. The master bathroom is in the master bedroom and has a shower (no tub). The master bedroom has a queen bed. The second bedroom has a double bed. The sleeping loft has four double beds (two double over double bunk beds). All the bed frames were handmade out of wood harvested from our own property here in Island Park.

Our cabin is a delight, and people have loved staying. We deliberately keep our prices on the lower end of what people charge for comparable properties in the area. We are new to VRBO but long-time super hosts on another listing site.

    We enjoyed our stay this cabin. It was decorated nicely, very clean and comfortable. From the pictures we thought it would be more secluded but it was still in a nice neighborhood. The only negatives were the washer was very off balance and the dryer was not vented outside which may be why it takes so long to dry clothes. We ended up going to a laundromat after this happened. Texted the manager with these issues the next morning as it was late when we were doing the laundry and did not hear back for a couple of hours. We were supposed to report any issues immediately and we did. No one came to check out the issue while we were there as far as we know. Overall the stay was enjoyable and close to West Yellowstone.

    This worked well for our trip to Yellowstone National Park with our 4 grandchildren. It was very easy to work with Mike who gave us good ideas about the area.

    Comfortable accommodations for the 5 adults in our family. We enjoyed the big dining room table for family meals and the firepit. We drove daily to the west entrance of Yellowstone Natl Park for great sightseeing and hiking.

    Excellent facility, everything as advertised, very clean.. Only minor complaint is microwave oven is very small for a facility that can sleep 8. Property manager very knowledgeable of the area and responded to our one request promptly. Would highly recommend this facility. Worked out very well for access to Yellowstone National Park.
