The cabin was very clean and large enough comfortably facilitate my entire family. Very close to Yellowstone park! Island Park is a beautiful location. We also enjoyed the all day ATV rental.
Our family had a great time at this property. When the power went out, the host communicated with us and solved the problem quickly. Would definitely recommend staying at the property.
A relaxing and beautiful cabin! Plenty of space - including a basement with movie room, 2 bunk beds, and bathroom. Loved making s’mores in the fire pit! We will be back!!

Fabulous Memorial Weekend
We had the best time at this cabin. It was absolutely beautiful, inside and out. We couldn't have found a better place to have all of our family together for the Memorial Day Weekend. Thanks for the perfect time. We will definitely stay here again. Whispering Pines is a must stay. Happy from Pocatello, Idaho.

Beautiful House
We loved the house, the furnishings and surroundings, and the location. It was well stocked with everything we needed. Working with the owners was great, and we were helped with info on the area and every question answered. The only down side was that we were unable to use one of the bathrooms!
Nice place, a few maintenance issues that need addressed. Couldn't figure out how to get theater to work, but oh well. Beautiful home in a beautiful area.
The property was nice but needs some updates like new carpeting, working smoke detectors, working fireplaces, upstairs shower control valve is broken, and working lights and outlets in master bedroom.
This place was great! Plenty of space for our family. Lots of closet, cupboard, bathroom, drawer space for everything! The "movie room" downstairs - so much fun - we all had a night of "just dance" competitions with lots of giggles. The firepit was wonderful for cooking hobo dinners and s'mores one night. We went a short distance to a place called Lake side for dinner one night - and went back the next to play in the water, use the water trampolines, rent boats and jet skis.
It was perfect perfect perfect - would stay again - for sure!

Beautiful cabin
This cabin was BEAUTIFUL! It was within walking distance to the lake (made for beautiful sunrises and sunsets). Scenic views around every corner, and just a quick 35 minute drive to West Yellowstone. The cabin was loaded with amenities and most everything you could absolutely need when staying for a few days or more. It was such a warm and inviting home none of us were ready to leave after 6 days. The owners, Jennie and Paul were great they answered any questions within minutes no matter the time of day. They definitely went above and beyond to make this trip one for the books for my family. I HIGHLY recommend staying here you will not regret it!
We fell in love with your cabin! The location, the beautiful island setting in the midst of thick forest made it the perfect location for our family! From the moment we walked through the front door, the decor, spacious bedrooms and large gathering rooms provided a comfortable setting for our large family (8 adults and 8 children)! The cabin was immaculate and its location allowed us to enjoy days in Yellowstone as well as days at the cabin. We created lasting memories with our grandchildren making smores around the fire pit. It felt like home. We even shared the space with a mama moose and her two young ones! Thank you for sharing your beautiful cabin!
We had a great time at this property. It’s on a beautiful island, covered in pine trees. A true cabin experience. Plenty of space for 10 people, with an extra, unused bed. We loved the fire pit out back and the kids loved roasting s’mores at night. The indoor fireplaces were toasty and the kitchen was equipped with everything we needed. We accidentally left a North Face winter coat and the owner, Jennie, mailed it to us, free of charge! The owners were so easy to work with and fantastic! There were even mints on the pillows when we arrived... big hit with the kids! Thank you for a great experience!
While tagged as a "cabin" the property is actually a generously sized home. Our party of nine enjoyed the stay very much. We were there two days - commuting the easy distance into the park and loving the comfort that awaited us after a long day. We had take out pizza one night from a local eatery and cooked one night. The beautiful kitchen is well equipped with all the basics. It was a pleasure to prepare a meal there and we had ample space around the large dining table. Our friends were dazzled by the night sky as there is no light pollution. The owners were pleasant and easy to communicate with. It's an absolutely lovely home that we will reserve again when we next visit the park.
We had an enjoyable stay. Other than some trouble with key cards and the smoke detectors going off one night (no fire) everything was great. The hosts were very easy to reach with our questions, problems! We would recommend it!
The cabin is beautiful and just as depicted. It comfortably sleeps 6 adults and the 4 full bathrooms are a definite plus. Unfortunately, the check in instructions and process were completely wrong - no lock box on the gate entering the gated community so therefore no access key. Every couple had to call the property manager to have the gate opened. There was one access key inside the house as indicated; however, there were three couples needing either a code that worked or an access key so we could do exploring on our own. The ignition switch on the grill did not work and we had to go purchase a fire stick in order to use the grill. There were only 3 dishwasher soap pods and we also had to go purchase pods for the remainder of our stay there. Lastly, the night stands in two of the bedrooms were so dusty you could write your name on them and had to be cleaned before we could comfortably stay in the rooms. It seems that the property managers are doing a poor job of maintaining this lovely cabin for visitors.
