Large Cabin in Island Park

This was a great day for our family! It has plenty of bedrooms and lots of space! It's only a 15 minute drive from the main highway. The cabin is very well decorated. The bedroom above the garage is great to provide space for another family and the ping pong and foosball tables in the garage was a great space for activity without disrupting the group in the main house. We used the hot tub and the fire pit. Overall I would definitely stay here again!

Fantastic Family Vacation Home

Property was perfect. Property Manager was extremely helpful and responsive. The amenities were excellent and the kitchen was the most well-equipped we have stayed at. The location of the home is a positive and a little bit of a drawback in that the isolation of the home is a real plus, but it is a long drive (but not a hard drive) to the park. The gated community, the views and local wildlife were each a plus. It was a great family-friendly house.

Family Get-Away

The beautiful, roomy property housed our entire family-Grandparents, Children, partners, and grandchildren comfortably. There was so much to keep kids of all ages entertained! We enjoyed paddle-boarding on the beautiful cold) lake. The cabin was well stocked for cooking and baking. Yellowstone was close and easy to get to. The scenery was a spectacular backdrop for family photos. The owners were easy to communicate with and very responsive. We enjoyed our visit 1000%. My highest recommendation for fun family time!

summer getaway

Very inviting and cozy house! We really enjoyed our stay. The cabin has things to do for everyone. Ping pong, volleyball, you can sit in the hot tub, play charades, and my boys loved the suite out over the garage. Nasser the owner was amazing to work with. We had a couple issues that he went out of his way to make sure they got resolved as quickly as possible. I will definitely stay here again.

Family trip to Yellowstone and GTNP

Sonia was a great host, timely communication and the property was exactly as described. There are amenities at the home, it was clean, and functional. The cabin was our home base for a family trip to Yellowstone and GTNP, the drive to the West Yellowstone was about 45 minutes, there was a grocery store about 15 minutes away and a handful of restaurants.

Family Yellowstone adventure

Perfect house in every way! Gave the young adult parents so many options. Staying up late to have volleyball and ping pong games! Not to far from the West entrance to Yellowstone. We would leave early to see the vast beauty of Yellowstone and even made It to the majestic Tetons. Bedroom accommodations nice w the bunk room and the large suite over the garage. Lastly, Sonia the owner could not have been any more helpful. My daughter and SIL were traveling cross country for their next military post so this was the perfect spot to take a break before continuing to WA. Thank you for the memories! ❤️

Perfect location for YNP & Tetons

We absolutely loved the Papa Bear Cabin! Our group ranged in ages from 19.5 to 50 and all had a great time. The young adults utilized the volleyball area and ping pong while the older adults relaxed in the fabulous hot tub under the almost full moon. The home has everything you need to be comfortable and if you have little ones they have items for them too! We visited Yellowstone National Park twice, the Tetons, golf in Big Sky, horseback riding with Double P and then again with Eagle View Range (just up the road), rented RTV with Island Park Rentals, ate at Angler’s Inn, got drinks from Soda Co (just up the main road) many times and still had plenty we could do if we stayed longer. We saw four moose in Island Park and a grizzly in YNP. This home is the perfect location! Our host was wonderful! She is quick to respond and so very helpful!! Thank you for making our son’s graduation trip wonderful!

Winter Wonderland!

"Luxury Cabin" may be an understatement; we visited the area in December during the arctic blast that hit the US, getting down to -40º one night, the area lost power for 2hrs, but the cabin is so well built we never felt cold. Our group had nine adults, and two couples brought their kids, four total, ages 9-14. We never felt cramped, there is plenty of space if you want privacy, and common areas are large enough for everyone to gather. Even though the winter storm hampered some of our plans to ride snowmobiles in the area, we still had a great time playing ping-pong tournaments in the heated garage, board games, and puzzles; it was the perfect chance for friends to catch up. We also made it over to Yellowstone. A few folks had been to Yellowstone before, and all of them said it was like visiting a different park, a "winter wonderland." I can't say enough about how functional and beautiful this cabin is; they even had Christmas lights up! I gave 5 stars on all aspects of this property; I wish I could give more for "communication" Sonia was on top of everything and very responsive at crazy hours of the night. Thank you for a lifetime of memories! We will be back! James

Gorgeous house!

Our two families had a wonderful stay. The house is super comfortable, clean, and relaxing! The main sitting area and kitchen are large enough for multiple families to stretch out. We had a small communication issue with an incorrect gate code at the very beginning, but all got worked out OK. Ping-pong and foosball balls were gone, which was disappointing for the kids. However, we made great use of the tetherball, spa, and barbecue which were all great. As others have said, the kitchen was very well equipped, with plenty of cookware, utensils, and dishware. The neighborhood is well spread out between houses and remarkably quiet. This is definitely a place to get away from the hustle and bustle of city or suburban life. We would stay here again.

Stay in Island Park

This was a wonderful home and property. The extra space in the garage gave the older children their own area. The views bring a sense of peace. My only wish is that it was a bit closer to the west gait of Yellowstone as that was the goal of our trip, but it is not a deal breaker.

I live in Utah with my active family but love escaping to Island Park. I have been coming to Island Park since I was a child and learned to waterski on the reservoir. I am excited to share this piece of heaven with you!

Why they chose this property

We never tire of exploring Island Park, Idaho and recently fell in love with and purchased Papa Bears Cabin. It is a fabulous location, secluded, walking distance to Island Park reservoir and just a short drive to amazing outdoor adventure; Yellowstone Park, rafting down Big Spring river, fishing, wildlife photography and more! It is the best place on earth.

What makes this property unique

Yellowstone National Park, water skiing on Island Park Reservoir, snowmobiling, mountain biking, hiking, fishing, hunting, site seeing and many more...especially peace of mind.
