This all-wood retreat features an indoor fireplace, shelves of books and games, and warm, inviting spaces to unwind after a day outdoors. Relax on the porch, grill on the BBQ or Blackstone, and gather around the backyard fire pit - you might even spot a moose wondering nearby! Step into a classic log cabin filled with warmth and charm. Nearly every surface is natural wood, creating that true mountain-cabin feel. Curl up by the crackling electric fireplace with a hot drink, flip through a good book, or enjoy game nights in the cozy living area. The kitchen is stocked with essentials for cooking, and the bedrooms offer peaceful sleep after a day in Yellowstone. Whether you\`re winding down inside or getting fresh mountain air outdoors, Grinning Bear is all about slowing down and savoring nature. Sleeping Arrangements: 3 Bedrooms | 3 Beds | Sleeps 6 Bedroom 1: King Bed Bedroom 2: Queen Bed Bedroom 3: Queen Bed Features: \- Fireplace & rustic cabin interior \- Lots of books & family games \- Fully stocked kitchen \- Peaceful forest setting amongst nature \- Smart TV \- BBQ & Blackstone grill \- Outdoor wood-burning fire pit Guests will have private access to the entire cabin & outdoor fire pit during their stay. The two closest major airports are Bozeman, MT and Idaho Falls, Idaho. There is also a small West Yellowstone Airport. Please note there is no central air conditioning, however there is a portable unit in the primary bedroom. \*Roads are maintained but the wind and snow in the fall, winter and Spring can be unpredictable. We HIGHLY recommend an AWD vehicle in the winter and shoulder months. Note: Some homes in this area may experience a slight discoloration in the water due to naturally high iron content—this is normal for the region. This home is equipped with a water filtration system, including a softener, a sediment filter, a UV light, and a carbon filter. Some guests choose to use bottled water for drinking during their stay in Island Park, which is totally fine and a common preference. ## Property amenities ### Internet - Available in the cabin: Free WiFi ### Parking and transportation - Car recommended - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Ice maker - Microwave - Oven - Refrigerator - Spices - Stovetop - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 1 bathroom - Hair dryer - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Fireplace ### Entertainment - Books - Games - Smart TV ### Outdoor areas - Barbecue grill - Firepit ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoking not allowed ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - First aid kit - Fire extinguisher ## Similar properties ![Outdoor dining](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/101000000/100450000/100443800/100443769/1cae7ad0.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Lakefront,Firepit,Grill,Kayaks,Private Dock,20m Yellowstone,Sleeps 6, Henry's Hatch Cabin Island Park - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Free WiFi 9.8 Exceptional 8 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-01-05&endDate=2026-01-06&selected=100443769&PinnedHotelID=100443769&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Exterior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/39000000/38270000/38261500/38261497/6923326b.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Balcony, 20 min to Yellowstone, Sled/ATV Spot Island Park - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Pet friendly 8.0 Very good 9 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-01-05&endDate=2026-01-06&selected=38261497&PinnedHotelID=38261497&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Property grounds](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/56000000/55080000/55078200/55078123/7cd414ab.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Cabin in the Woods.

Feels secluded from big towns and a lot of neighbors. It's a little over an hours from Yellowstone entrance. There is a small bit of gravel to get to the house. Check-in was easy. They texted to make sure we had everything we need. Great experience, would definitely stay there again. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/9b1fbfcd-f720-4c8b-aeca-a4e000c9822b-1755367308850.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/a9c725cf-e545-4ac7-9569-310f10e4d378-1755367310356.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### tknights2009 Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2025 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Shooting Star Casino & Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Thief-River-Falls-Hotels-Shooting-Star-Casino-Hotel.h28874246.Hotel-Information) > > [Anglers Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Island-Park-Hotels-Anglers-Lodge.h1860670.Hotel-Information) > > [The Breakers Palm Beach](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Beach-Hotels-The-Breakers-Palm-Beach.h8479.Hotel-Information) > > [The Westin Desert Willow Villas, Palm Desert](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-The-Westin-Desert-Willow-Villas.h3304313.Hotel-Information) > > [Six Flags Great Escape Lodge & Indoor Waterpark](https://www.expedia.ca/Lake-George-Hotels-Six-Flags-Lodge-Indoor-Waterpark.h1385446.Hotel-Information) > > [Akwesasne Mohawk Casino Resort and Players Inn](https://www.expedia.ca/Hogansburg-Hotels-Akwesasne-Mohawk-Casino-Resort.h6009138.Hotel-Information) > > [Best Western Plus Kootenai River Inn Casino & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Bonners-Ferry-Hotels-Best-Western-Plus-Kootenai-River-Inn-Casino-Spa.h9006.Hotel-Information) > > [Bavarian Inn of Frankenmuth](https://www.expedia.ca/Saginaw-Hotels-Bavarian-Inn-Of-Frankenmuth.h9809515.Hotel-Information) > > [Tulalip Resort Casino](https://www.expedia.ca/Everett-Hotels-Tulalip-Resort-Casino.h2161524.Hotel-Information) > > [Triple Play Resort Hotel & Suites](https://www.expedia.ca/Coeur-DAlene-Hotels-Triple-Play-Resort-Hotel-Suites.h1287488.Hotel-Information) > > [Best Western Plus Ponderay Mountain Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Sandpoint-Hotels-Best-Western-Plus-Ponderay-Mountain-Lodge.h2745434.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton Waikoloa Village](https://www.expedia.ca/Waikoloa-Hotels-Hilton-Waikoloa-Village.h19640.Hotel-Information) > > [Hyatt Vacation Club at Desert Oasis](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-Welk-Resorts-Palm-Springs.h1140793.Hotel-Information) > > [Marriott's Shadow Ridge I-The Villages](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-Marriotts-Shadow-Ridge.h853695.Hotel-Information) > > [Ramada by Wyndham Coeur d'Alene](https://www.expedia.ca/Coeur-DAlene-Hotels-Ramada-By-Wyndham-Coeur-DAlene.h6724.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Ruby Ponderay/Sandpoint](https://www.expedia.ca/Sandpoint-Hotels-Hotel-Ruby-PonderaySandpoint.h116521.Hotel-Information) > > [Canad Inns Destination Center Grand Forks](https://www.expedia.ca/Grand-Forks-Hotels-Canad-Inns-Destination-Center-Grand-Forks.h1713856.Hotel-Information) > > [Sandpoint Hotel & Suites Downtown](https://www.expedia.ca/Sandpoint-Hotels-Cedar-Street-Hotel-And-Suites.h327119.Hotel-Information) > > [JW Marriott Desert Springs Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-JW-Marriott-Desert-Springs-Resort-Spa.h17123.Hotel-Information) > > [Stoneridge Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Coeur-DAlene-Hotels-Stoneridge-Resort.h64846607.Hotel-Information) > > [Angel Of The Winds Casino Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Everett-Hotels-Angel-Of-The-Winds-Casino-Resort.h9689970.Hotel-Information) > > [Semiahmoo Resort Golf & Spa, Trademark Collection by Wyndham](https://www.expedia.ca/Bellingham-Hotels-Semiahmoo-Resort-Golf-Spa.h13986.Hotel-Information) > > [Fairmont Orchid](https://www.expedia.ca/Kamuela-Hotels-Fairmont-Orchid.h25190.Hotel-Information) > > [Isla Bella Beach Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Marathon-Hotels-Isla-Bella-Beach-Resort-Spa.h24101706.Hotel-Information) > > [Best Western Plus Coeur d'Alene Inn](https://www.expedia.ca/Coeur-DAlene-Hotels-Best-Western-Plus-Coeur-DAlene-Inn.h25850.Hotel-Information) > > [C'mon Inn Hotel & Suites](https://www.expedia.ca/Grand-Forks-Hotels-Cmon-Inn-Hotel-Suites.h1510580.Hotel-Information) > > [Close to Silverwood, Cozy Cottage Farm in the woods, RV parking, with open space](https://www.expedia.ca/Coeur-DAlene-Hotels-Cozy-Cottage-Located-In-Beautiful-North-Idaho-5-Minutes-From-Silverwood.h54236789.Hotel-Information) > > [Darien Lake Lodge on the Lake ](https://www.expedia.ca/Corfu-Hotels-Darien-Lake-Lodge-On-The-Lake.h13279584.Hotel-Information) > > [The Brook at Turning Stone Resort Casino](https://www.expedia.ca/Utica-Hotels-Turning-Stone-Resort-And-Casino.h1684407.Hotel-Information)
