Perfect location!

This cabin was perfect for our family Christmas! We had 6 grandkids and 7 adults. All adults/couples had their own bedrooms and the 4 older grandkids loved the loft where they each had their own bed! The kitchen has all of the supplies needed. The location of the cabin is spectacular! The view from the cabin to the river is beautiful- especially when there is so much snow! We had snow mobiles delivered and rode right from the driveway to the snowmobiling trails. We used the outdoor fire pit several times during the week. The best week!

OUR YELLOWSTONE ADVENTURE

It met our needs perfectly. The home was well stocked and decorated. We really enjoyed our stay. The only small thing to mention was that the grassy area could have been better manicured. Also, we used the pack n play, however it was missing the mattress pad. Lastly, it was difficult to get all of us showered and then wash and dry all the towels and get out the door by 11am. So we washed one load of towels and put them in the dryer. Then we left the rest of the towels on the floor by the washing machine. I hope this was okay. Mainly, we had a wonderful time. Thank you for sharing your home with us. The Bruin Family

Island Park Reservoir cabin

The house has been renovated inside and was very clean and usable. The outside and grounds were a bit unkempt. There was roof underlay without overlying shingle across the porch roof and one of the photos with kind of a living area is actually just storage under the deck. That being said I think the price is competitive for the area and these weren't major issues during our stay.

Everything we wanted it to be!

My family of 10 just returned in July from a week at this wonderful cabin. The pictures don't really do it justice. We really enjoyed the wonderful deck out back. It does have a gate that closes, so that's nice for toddlers and pets as well. There were plenty of beds for everyone to sleep comfortably. The beds were actually very nice to sleep in. There were plenty of extra blankets around for lounging. We took our surf boat and our fishing boat too. Having the private dock and close by boat launch was great. The kitchen had almost everything I needed to keep up with all the hungry appetites. There's an instapot and large stock pots as well as a crock pot that was hiding in a lower cupboard. The showers and toilets worked great, which is always a good thing when renting a VRBO. :) There were pleanty of towels for our large crew as well. Beware though, you are out in the mountains and little critters such as spiders do make their way into the cabin. Keri was always great at commnication when I had a question. We will definately be coming back in the future to stay here!

We will be back!

The house and location was great! Having a private dock is amazing but the location was even better since it is a low traffic area. The house also had kayaks which my kids loved using. The house was clean and anytime we needed anything the host was on top of communicating with us. We would definitely stay there again.

Great for a large group!

What a wonderful cabin! We had 8 adults and 6 children with plenty of room. Very nicely decorated. Great view of the lake; boat rental was available nearby. We rented pontoon boat and tube. Great fun! Fishing was great as well. Very peaceful and serene. The host always answered any questions I had very quickly. We will always remember this amazing vacation!

We really enjoyed our stay, it was everything we expected and more, it was delivered just as explained. We stayed in the winter and was great but the summer would be equal to or better based on the views and water so near the property.

October 2021 Get Away

The property was great! It was situated right on Henry's Fork River. Although, it snowed approximately 4" - 6" while we were there, we still had plenty to do. The location is great to serve as a "base camp" for all of your adventures (i.e. Yellowstone, Fly Fishing, etc.) The property owners were great and super responsive to my questions.

A little get away cabin

We had a great time at the Island Park cabin. The scenery was amazing and close enough for us to explore Yellowstone a bit. The cabin was nice and cozy once we figured out where to turn on the furnace and chimney. We are considering coming back in the summer!

Cabin getaway

This is a cute cabin right off the river. This is the first time I have been dissapointed in a VRBO. when you are paying what we were you expect a first class stay. This cabin is cute but it was not clean, the towels were cheap, the grounds were messy, the roof leaked and every morning at 7 am there were power tools and hammering going on .. even though the rules state quiet time is until 8am. All of this would have been fine if we had been warned before hand and were offered a discounted rate .We still had a good time with the kayaks and canoes but this was not what we were expecting.

Fun Getaway Spot

We loved staying here on our family vacation. The view was awesome and loved being right next to the river. The deck definitely needs to be fixed/replaced. The boards move with almost every step. It was supplied with almost everything we needed. We brought our own paper plates, paper bowls, plastic cups, and plastic silverware and we were so glad we did cause everything there was glassware. So not only did it save us on dishes but saved us from worrying about one of them getting broken. Overall it's a fun, nice place to getaway. We would definitely go back again.

Cute cabin but needs a good cleaning!

This is an old cabin that has had some nice modern upgrades. Plenty of towels were provides and it was really nice to have a wash machine and dryer. Nice open concept in the kitchen and living room with views of the water. Toilet paper, paper towels, garbage bags and laundry supplies were provided. The cabin needs a serious cleaning!! Be sure to bring slippers or an extra pair of shoes because your feet or socks will get black from the dirty floors. The kitchen drawers and cupboards had crumbs in them. The oven was disgustingly gross. The refrigerator and freezer where dirty. A canoe and kayaks were provided but no life jackets. The bathroom did not have a curtain on the window - lucky (or unlucky :-) ) neighbor gets a good view. The large deck was great but kinda sketchy - very uneven, some loose boards and if you look at the deck foundation you'll see a very crude construction job. The location is great and the area was pretty quiet while we were there.

Island Park Gem

This property was amazing. I took my family of 10 to explore Yellowstone and the surrounding areas. The house was very well laid out with plenty of room for everyone to be comfortable. Enjoyed our coffee in the morning on a very large deck overlooking the beautiful Snake River, did a lot of fishing (and catching 3 rainbow trout that were about 15”!) of the dock and used the kayaks and a canoe to explore the river. The house is situated not far from the highway but you feel like you’re in a world of your own. It was very quiet and peaceful. We will be visiting again and would absolutely stay here! Not only was the property wonderful, but the owners were too. All questions I had were answered in a timely fashion and we were completely prepared for our stay!
