Great winter getaway
As first timers to the true West - this location was central for all things winter… skiing, snowmobiling and sight seeing were a simple car ride away. Although there are 8-10 homes on the street - we were the only occupied cabin all week. Great scenery!

Christmas Vacation and birthday
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The house was the perfect size for our family of 5. We had a 9 year old with us and she enjoyed sledding down the hill. Even the adults managed to take a turn or 2. The cabin was very well stocked and thanks to a grocery delivery made on Christmas Eve when never had to eat out. We just can’t say enough about the location, view, amenities, etc. we highly recommend this cabin.

Sibling Reunion - Yellowstone and Tetons
We loved our family reunion and stay near Henry's Lake. The place was perfect for our group of 9, the setting was gorgeous.We made it to Yellowstone three times, and spent one day hiking in the Tetons. The drive to the Tetons was more than two hours, making for a long day but it was well worth it! Walking and exploring around the property was nice in the early evening.

Dream Cabin
As soon as you enter this lovely cabin you see that the owners have thought of everything to make your stay wonderful. The beds are very comfortable, the showers are great, the kitchen is well equipped. They are generous in supplying you with towels, shampoos, lotions, laundry pods, spices and baking supplies, and even a little candy jar with treats. The living room and upstairs balcony have comfortable chairs and sofas for relaxing. The cabin is in an incredible wooded setting with lovely views from the oversized windows. There is a deck off the front of the house to enjoy the peace and quiet of this incredible setting. It is about 20-30 minutes from the Yellowstone National Park entrance. We visited the Park every day of our stay. I would highly recommend this cabin if you are planning a trip to Yellowstone. It is everything you would want in a cabin in the woods. Adorable!!

Great Time
All in all the property was a great place for our family vacation. If I was to make any suggestions it would be to check the light fixtures and make sure that they all work and/or good bulb in them and secondly, I would’ve appreciated if there had been some more mowed space between the cabin and the woods

Thanks for your review! We appreciate the feedback. The area doesn’t lend itself to much of a “lawn” and we’ve elected to enjoy the native wildflowers in lieu of a more traditional lawn space. We hope you enjoyed the fire pit and accessed the few hundred thousand acres of national forest behind the home to explore. There are several trails just beyond the house that are a fun hike for kids and adults alike. Please come visit us again soon!

Peaceful Escape
We enjoyed our stay in the woods near Henry’s Lake. The cabin was relaxing, interesting, and comfortable. We visited Yellowstone with the cabin as a home base. I enjoyed having my morning coffee on the deck with the strong smell of pine in the air and the sounds of distant cattle lowing. Our children enjoyed the loft. Hope to stay again sometime soon.

An Enchanting Woodland Retreat at Yellowstone's Doorstep
I cannot recommend this cabin enough! Tucked amidst the woods, this delightful abode was a perfect fit for my family of six. It’s within 30 minutes of Yellowstone's West Entrance and has many conveniences within a short drive. The cabin itself felt like a home away from home, providing all the amenities we needed while surrounded by rustic charm. We thoroughly enjoyed the spacious layout and the comfortable beds, ensuring a restful night after a day of adventure. There is even a working ranch that hosts a Rodeo Dinner Show within walking distance! One of the most memorable experiences was a morning spent on the back porch, sipping our coffee and watching deer casually saunter through the property while listening to the many chirping birds and smelling that cool, fresh pine-scented mountain air. It was like living in our own National Geographic special. In summary, if you're seeking a tranquil escape with a dash of the unique, look no further than this cabin. Five stars doesn't do it justice - it's a Yellowstone gem!

Amazing Family Cabin Right by West Ye
My family (my husband, me, 3 year old, and 1 year old) stayed at the cabin with my inlaws for a week, and we were so impressed with our stay. The layout was perfect, especially the loft with the TV and kids toys. Everything we needed was provided at the cabin, including booster seats, coolers, bear spray, all kitchen supplies, etc. We would definitely stay here again and can't give it a high enough rating.

Great HQ for Yellowstone Vacation
This is a beautiful cabin located off a dirt road near the Targhee National Forest. You can see one house but it the other three sides are heavily wooded (at least in June). It was very quiet and peaceful. It is 35 minutes from the West Yellowstone entrance and then at least another hour to the main attractions. The cabin has a well-stocked kitchen and we used the grill. The camp fire ring was also nice and we had a couple of fire during our stay. There is a new grocery store in Island Park- Sam Patch Co. that has all the essentials including fresh produce. There are also two kid friendly restaurants in Island Park at Mack’s Inn- Cafe Sabor is Mexican cuisine and the Parlor has brick oven pizzas and ice cream. Would stay here again if I came back to the area!

There were 5 adults and we all loved the cabin! It was (as others have stated) extremely well stocked! This is by NO means a deal breaker, it is just something to be aware of so that you can plan accordingly on the day you depart; be aware of the fact that if you have to check out early (to catch a flight, etc.), and do not have morning hours until 10 am to complete the check-out list, you need to plan your time wisely. The expectation is that you do 2 loads of laundry through the washing machine, and that is not a small amount of time - especially when it is sheets you can't do the night before because you have to sleep on them, and towels you also may need in the morning. If you run a load of towels late the night before, they definitely need extra time in the dryer so they are dry before you cycle the next load in. Plan ahead. The cleaning fee is not small, so having to do this, in addition to other tasks, can certainly be frustrating. I understand the desire to maximize profit and get the next visitors in the same day, and also understand that if we had had the luxury of hanging around until 10 it would have been easier. Otherwise, we had zero issues, zero complaints, loved the space, the decor, enjoyed looking through the books about Yellowstone and the area, loved exploring the trails out through the back (cannot remember the name of the park land back there), and the drive to the West Yellowstone entrance is easy and short. We would absolutely rent here again!

HI Rebecca, Thanks so much for sharing your vacation experience with us. You may have missed the check out list item that states up front "if time permits, we would appreciate the head start" to the cleaning items. Our home is off the beaten path, as you know, and so our cleaner has to get a start on the laundry to get it dry in time for the next guests. It isn't about the profits, just the size of the home, quantity of laundry and hours in a day to get it all washed and dried. If you come and visit us again, just give us a heads up on your early morning departure and we can see if our cleaner can make arrangements to get laundry done at home or see if we can put a gap day in there instead. Thanks again!

Great Place for a Yellowstone Adventure!
The cabin was a fantastic spot for our Yellowstone area adventures in and outside of the park. We stayed with two kids, ages 10 and 13, and they loved the upper level bedrooms and eagles nest! And we enjoyed the separation and privacy of the lower level main bedroom. The location is great for park access through West Yellowstone, as well as the horseback riding and ziplining we did nearby. As many have mentioned, the kitchen is very well-stocked, with numerous spices and other items. We enjoyed cooking several meals here and dining outside on the deck. I think we also set a family record for consecutive nights of s'mores at the fire ring! Overall a great spot for our family Yellowstone vacation!

A Little Slice of Heaven
This beautiful home was even better than described. It’s cozy, super clean and has every amenity you could want. The location is perfect. 25 minutes to the gates of Yellowstone. We bought groceries at Food Roundup in West Yellowstone and cooked every meal in the fabulous kitchen. They supply all the spices, plenty of condiments and every cooking tool you’ll need. We even made some chili in the crockpot while visiting the park. We enjoyed the firepit and the deck. It was so peaceful and quiet you could hear the wolves howling at night. We saw a doe and her two babies right by the firepit. The teens loved the big screen tv. It was nice to have a washer and dryer too. Communication was outstanding! Thank you for sharing your beautiful home with us. We didn’t want to leave! We will definitely be back next time we visit. This place is seriously a little slice of heaven.

Beautiful Cabin in the Woods
This cabin was a perfect size for our family. The kitchen is stocked with everything you need to cook, season, and serve your meals. Loved having the bbq and fire pit too! The upstairs living area was perfect for our daughter to play and relax while we cooked dinner and unpacked/repacked from our adventures. It had a bunch of toys for her, as well as a TV with lots of movies to choose from. We saw lots of wild life while visiting, including deer a few days right on the property. We were glad that the cabin came with beer spray to use if needed as that is necessary to bring with on hikes anywhere in the area. We did “meet” a momma grizzly and her two cubs on a hike in Yellowstone and we were very glad to have that with us, just in case. Thank you for letting us stay at your beautiful cabin. We had a great trip:)

The cabin was private, peaceful and beautiful. It was well-stocked with all the staples and there was even bear spray for us to use on our hikes in Teton and Yellowstone. We saw a female moose with her calf on the road back to the cabin and even some elk one day along the road. Overall, it was a relaxing and fun place to get away. I highly recommend staying here!

Great Experience in a winter wonderland!
We had an amazing time at this property. The location was nearly perfectly centered between Bozeman and Jackson, WY - which allowed for lots of excursions within driving distance for a day trip. Island Park is a winter playground with amazing views, wildlife and plenty of snow to work with. The house itself was perfect. Some might complain that the TV was upstairs, but we actually found it led to a lot more relaxation to just sit and talk, leaving the weight of the world upstairs in the loft. Our only complaint would be there were several light bulbs out throughout the house and we couldn’t find proper replacements. Also, the WiFi became congested with 7 devices churning at different points during the day. I would recommend upgrading the Wi-Fi experience for those who might want to stay at the cabin to work during the day. All in all, we loved our stay and would like to come back when the snow is gone to experience what the region has to offer!

Hi Joseph, Thanks for your nice review and for staying at our home. One of the best parts of the cabin is its beauty and isolation, which also means, unfortunately, limited options for our internet. We are at our max speed available for the region, but fiber optic is on its way in the next year we are told. Until then, we can offer a reliable network, but it just can't always support more than 7 devices which we hope works for most of our guests. We would love for you to come back in the summer so you can explore all the other amazing adventures the region has to offer. Thanks!

The cabin is comfortable and clean with everything you need. Be aware that there is only the tv in the loft. (I didn’t mind but we had teens that were grumbling.) The location is 20 minutes from West Yellowstone and we heard this was the best entrance for Tshirt shopping and restaurants. There is also a small grocery store in West Yellowstone or get your groceries as you drive into Ennius if you are coming from Bozeman. We did see a red fox and a young moose on Red Rock Rd near the cabin so keep your eyes open. We had a great time!

Thanks for visiting our home. With so many guests choosing to bring devices, the one TV has proven to be sufficient for most. The TV room is nicely separated which allows guests with kids to send them upstairs when the adults can have space downstairs. With so many of our guests spending time out and about, it hasn't come up as a downside, but we will put that on the list of possible ways to improve our home. Thanks again!

The kitchen was fully stocked with pots, pans, and all the essentials needed to cook meals. Beautiful views. A great place to stay when visiting Yellowstone. It was about a 25-30 minute drive there.

Great Property and Location
The mountains were calling - and we went! This property is ideally situated if your plan, like ours, was to visit both Yellowstone and the Grand Tetons (I would also encourage you to drive the hour north to Ennis, Virginia City, and Nevada City)! There were 7 of us and the cabin never felt crowded; ideally sized really. The 2nd and 3rd bedrooms were a little on the small size and could use some more storage but we made due. Overall, the cabin was very clean and well kept. A few light bulbs needed replacing but, in the bigger scheme, that's really very minor. The cabin is located about a half-hour from West Yellowstone but that was never a problem for us; we actually preferred this quieter location as it felt removed from that tourist-y town. As a bonus the cabin is remarkably close to the Meadow Vue Ranch rodeo which was a lot of fun. Highly recommended; would rent again.

We had a great snowmobiling trip at this cabin, we don't like to stay in hotels or in town with all the hustle and bustle. Staying at this cabin was a nice getaway, plenty of room and amenities. My only caution would be if you have bigger trailer (longer than 24ft) it would be difficult to get up the driveway and get turned around.

Wonderful house in a beautiful location
This house is located in a beautiful neighborhood only 30 minutes from West Yellowstone. The house is big enough for everyone to spread out and a couple of rooms to congregate as a group. The kitchen has all the tools you need and is well stocked. Our only issue was the 10:00 checkout time and the numerous chores you are asked to do before you leave (two loads of laundry, empty trash, start dishwasher, turn down heat) in addition to the cleaning fee. My suggestion would be to have a later checkout time if these are the things you want completed before your guests leave. Otherwise, the place is a great place for summer and winter activities for a family.

The check out list does note "if time permits, we appreciate the help with these few tasks". If time doesn't permit, then that's ok too. TUrning down the heat though is pretty imperative. After one guest left the house at 85 in every room, it seemed like something to point out to all guests.
