Great stay in Yellowstone
Our family had a fabulous time on our trip to Yellowstone. This home worked very well for the 12 of us (5 couples, one 12 yo and one single). We had fun every night playing games in the spacious dining area. We also grilled a few night on the back porch. The lower roof on the porch was not an issue for us. The kitchen was well stocked with spices and staples. It was unseasonably warm when we were there, so the loft sleeping are was not as cool as desired, but there was a fan to help circulate the air. Kristina was VERY prompt responding to the minor issues that we encountered. The house is about 25 min drive from the W. Yellowstone entrance. We definitely stay here again.

Lots of beds, house is in need of repair
There were plenty of beds and room for 8 people. The house is is need of repair. - We had a bat flying around the kitchen on the first night. Had to shoo it out the door with a spatula. - All the decks have sagged significantly - to the point where you can't open the back door going from the kitchen to the BBQ. This made getting to the grill rather cumbersome every night. If you're not careful, you'll hit your face on the door when it binds up on the roof and doesn't open fully. - Most of the floor mats upstairs were soaked upon arrival (kitchen, main bathroom, downstairs bathroom). - The toilet upstairs wobbles around on the floor. The seat is also not attached well, so you slide off. That toiled also had trouble shutting off - we had to open the lid and make sure the flap sealed almost every flush. - The air hockey table didn't work - seems like the power cord was busted.

Hi Chris, I am glad you enjoyed your vacation in island park and Yellowstone. First, I am sorry a bat flew into the house when you and your party left the doors and windows open. The cabin is in the woods and bats are attracted to light they will fly in when the doors and windows are left open. In addition, the backdoor opens and closes fine, you are the first guest that has struggled with operating it. In regards to the back deck, the snow weight this year sunk it in about 1 to 2 inches but is still fully usable. It is going to be repaired/replaced in August. Again we have received no complaints about this from any guests about the deck and everyone has been happy and understanding. Third, the Air Hockey table works fine…Again this is an operator error. There is a switch under the table that you had to switch on and off nothing had to do with the plug. If you would have asked, I would have told you how to use it. You mentioned the toilet it has recently been replaced and is brand new. Thanks Kindly Kristina

This cabin is deep in the woods with nothing but pine trees all around. Lots of balcony space all around. Beautiful quiet setting. Only two people in our group but a very nice place to stay. Well away from the crowds of Yellowstone which is what we were looking for.

Family gathering
We loved the house! We had 5 adults and 5 kids, ages 3 - 13. It was not far to Yellowstone, which was our destination for the weekend. I asked my grandkids what they liked best about the mini vacation and they all said the house. None of us were ready to leave. We would definitely stay again.

Everything was as pictured online. Winters are rough in this part of the country and it showed on the roads to the property. Other than that it was a great choice to stay.

Island Park Cabin
This was an amazing place to stay. With our large family along with small children there was so much room that we all had room to have our own space and not have kids on top of us the whole time. I would recommend this place to anyone!!

Large family visiting Yellowstone
The property worked perfectly for our large family. We filled every bed and most people found the beds quite comfortable. It was nice having common areas on each floor so we could spread out when desired. There were plenty of dishes, cookware and utensils. It was easy access to Yellowstone. We saw a fox and deer in the yard. We did have a small bat visit in the cabin which added some fun excitement. We were able to shoo it out the door pretty easily. A very fun time was had by all.

Beautiful Island Park Location
My family loved our stay at this cabin. It is in a beautiful location, surrounded by tall trees. We loved watching for the "neighborhood" moose (we counted 3), fox and even salamanders and toads. Anytime we had a question or concern, the hosts were very quick to respond to our needs. Thanks for the great stay!

Cozy cabin
We had a wonderful time in this cozy cabin. We cooked several meals in this well stocked kitchen. My grown children appreciated the sofa and tv spaces on each level for individual down time. Kids gates were provided so littles don't fall down steps.

There was 20 of us and we all enjoyed our stay. We saw moose right down the road from the house. The only bad thing was the road going to the house was in terrible shape.

Fantastic Yellowstone Stay
We chose this cabin as our home base for our Yellowstone trip. It snowed and rained during a good portion of our stay. Several family members commented that they were happy just spending time in the cabin relaxing. I loved the fact that there were 4 levels and plenty of space for all of us to spread out. The cabin was well stocked with just about everything we needed. We had a fantastic time.

Family reunion
After a year and 1/2 of our family not being together due to COVID we chose this cabin for our 9 day trip to Yellowstone and the Grand Tetons. Our family of 20 of all ages enjoyed our stay very much. The basement area was great for 10 kids to hang out. The location was great for access to the west Yellowstone entrance, the town of west Yellowstone and the beautiful surrounding area of island park Idaho that offers many wonderful activities. The washer and dryer were amazing as was the full sized fridges in the kitchen and laundry room! Our questions were answered in a very timely and efficient manner by the property manager Kristine not only during our stay but answered all our questions months before as we were planning our trip. As an example, we had a visiting bat in the loft and Kristine sent some people to remove it three toilets and two showers was definitely tricky for 20 but we made it work. Seating 20 at one meal was also tricky but we managed as well. Overall, a very nice experiez

Great homebase for exploring
A modest, comfortable cabin in a wooded setting. It does not have many bells and whistles but has everything you need, including lots of beds. The exterior could use some TLC to make it a bit more comfortable to hang outside on the decks. Fantastic location with easy access to Yellowstone (25 min) and Grand Teton (2-2.5 hr). Plenty of closer by things to do and see as well. Recommend to outdoor enthusiasts that plan to spend lots of time outdoors exploring the area.

Excellent stay
Our family stayed here 4 nights during our recent trip to Yellowstone. We are so glad we decided to drive the extra 1/2 hour to stay here. It was so worth it. The house was exactly perfect for our large group of 11. Everything we needed and tons of very oversized plush towels!!! We highly recommend this rental

Our kids had so much fun inside the cabin playing air hockey as well as the outside! We utilized the fire pit and the swings and the kids loved exploring in the trees! We played cards at the table and had a lot of fun!
