We had an incredible time staying here for our family reunion. There are a lot of ATV trails you can get to straight from the property and Yellowstone was also very easy to get to. The cabin was stocked well with everything we needed, was very comfortable and we would definitely come back again!

Nice Stay

It is a good place to stay with a large group, however the beds weren't that great and one of the room + bath was in the garage separately. Other than it was good.

Awesome Yellowstone Vacation

Great trip. West Yellowstone in about 30 Minutes and to the Grand Loop in an hour. Horse stable for trail rides are right down the road. Fishing close by in the lake and nearby rivers. Great home with plenty of room and activities. Really a great spot!

upscale cabin living

Our family had a great time staying at this homey but upscale cabin. The views, the closeness to Yellowstone, the amenities of the home all provided the perfect family getaway. I would add Stoddard Mill Pond to the list of possible places to visit as a kids fishing pond. It was close and free.

The property was amazing! It was a great space to come back and relax in after a long day in the snow. Clean, very comfortable. The host was easy to communicate with, The house is farther from town than we’ve ever stayed, but peaceful and so much better than a hotel! Thank you so much!

Decide to try Island Park for our annual winter getaway with our friends. The house was as advertised and we had plenty of room for games and puzzles and lots of snow for toys. The accessory unit above the garage was a bonus and was perfect for the teen girls. Would 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.
