  • Harriman State Park in Idaho is just outside Yellowstone's border. We rented the bunkhouse with eight (!) other families for a weekend of hiking, mountain biking, and Nerf battles. Plus, a whole lot of eating. There are also a couple yurts and smaller cabins for rent.

Absolutely loved that place! Close enough to Yellowstone National Park to see the park, and far enough away that we could get out of the crowds of the town of West Yellowstone. Gave us the feeling of cabin style home without being too far from a gas station and food. It was GREAT!
