Map & Owner's Profile
Secluded Lakefront Log Cabin - Fishing & Wildlife Paradise!
Year Purchased: 2001
Why the Owner Chose Island Park
Our secluded vacation property, with close proximity to Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Parks, is only a 75 minute drive from our home in Idaho Falls, and offered year round recreation opportunity for our family. Swimming, canoeing, fishing and outdoor fires under the stars in the summer, Fall colors and 4 wheeling in the sand dunes adjacent to the lake, and early winter ice skating, and when the snow gets deep great cross country skiing and snow mobiling and the enjoyment of a wood stove.
The Unique Benefits at this Lakefront Log Cabin
Peace, quiet, fires outside and inside, barbecue on the deck and dutch oven cooking, great fishing, wildlife variety from frogs, beavers, trumpeteer swans, birds of all varieties including bald eagles, moose, deer, to a sighting of a wolf.
Owner's Map of Island Park
Having grown up on a lake in northern Minnesota, when Burt Butler moved from North Carolina to Idaho in 1993 to work for the state court system, one of his dreams was to find secluded lakefront property that his four children could enjoy, and ultimately build a cabin that Diane could consider a comfortable second home. That dream came true in 1998 when Burt and Diane Butler found a unique secluded lakefront property on a peninsula with a gentle shoreline and spectacular fishing with no motor boats allowed on the lake. In the Fall of 2001 the elegant and rustic cabin was started and finished in June 2002.

8-25-02 Your cabin is wonderful- exactly the "R & R" we were looking for. We wish we would have had more time to spend on the lake and just relaxing on the deck. A relaxing way to end two & a half weeks on the road exploring. Thanks so much.

We want you to know what a great time we had last week in your charming cabin by this wonderful lake. We definitely hope that we can come back some time. Our week exceeded all expectations. By the end of the week, we even caught several fish.
