Enjoyed my stay at this Island Park Cabin with Hot Tub

Ahh, rest and relaxation! I had the opportunity to stay in the Summerwind Cabin, located in Island Park, ID. Island Park is a great destination near Yellowstone National Park for everything from hiking and fishing, to snowmobiling and cross country skiing.
Summerwind Cabin had everything a bear needs for a great vacation. It is a quiet location among a forest of pine trees, within walking distance to the Island Park Reservoir. The cabin is very spacious and includes a full kitchen, comfortable living room, laundry room, 2 bathrooms, and enough beds for the whole family. The deck is a huge plus with dining table and hot tub for hours of outdoor enjoyment. The cabin even comes with a canoe to take out on the water. For those who want to stay indoors, the TV offers dozens of channels.
If you’re feeling adventurous, head out on the nearby ATV trails, go for a hike to Mesa Falls, or spend a day boating and fishing at Henry’s Lake State Park just a few miles away. My favorite part of the trip was the close proximity to West Yellowstone and the national park, so I could easily go visit my wildlife kin. Island Park is the perfect home base for exploring the park because you can return to peace and quiet after a day at the popular tourist spots like Old Faithful.
Thank you Summerwind Cabin for an enjoyable and relaxing stay!

Map & Owner's Profile
Cozy Cabin- Walking Distance to the River
Year Purchased: 2003
Why the Owner Chose Island Park
Island Park is the best of the Yellowstone area without all the tourists. All of my cabins have large lots surrounded by trees for a private and peaceful vacation. There is great hiking and fishing in the summer and incredible snowmobiling and cross country skiing in the winter. There is also a golf course if you want to hit a few balls in the summer. Harriman State Park is close by with the best hiking and cross country ski trails in Eastern Idaho.
The Unique Benefits at this Cabin
We like to paddle in the canoe in the Island Park resevoir. We also take our speed boat out and go fishing and waterskiing. This cabin is full log construction and really has the cozy cabin in the mountains feel to it. After playing on the water it's nice to throw a steak on the grill (or a fish if we were lucky that day), and then relax in the hot tub. In the winter, sometimes it's just nice to watch the snow fall while you read a book by the fireplace, or go sledding or cross country skiing.
Comfortable newer log cabin on the corner of G st and 3rd St , walking distance to the river.

Our family thought this place was perfect! The owner has thought of everything to make your stay comfortable, extra blankets and pillows, etc. The wifi connection worked great, important for me as I'm in online college. The kids liked taking the canoe down to the river and paddling around and making smores in the big firepit. The location was great, far enough off the highway to be quiet, but still close to Yellowstone. We will be back next summer to make more great family memories.

My wife and I took our first trip to Island Park and were happy to stumble upon this property. However, from these pictures, you can't tell that there is a house directly behind the property and houses on each side of the property. It's not as secluded as it appears. Also, upon arrival, the hot tub was out of order (although got fixed) and we had to clean all the dishes before using them. Not sure what the cleaning fee is used for, especially since the owner requires you to throw your trash away at the dump on your way out of town. After contacting the owner with a request for compensation for the inconvenience (strictly out of principle) I heard no response.
Owner response:I wish I could make everybody happy all the time in this business, but unfortunately that is not possible. Cleaning staff noticed the hot tub heater wasn't working properly. The tub was hot but not as hot as normal. This was noticed while cleaning two hours prior to his arrival The repair man was dispatched on a very expensive after hour service call. I wanted to do all I could for his group to have a hot tub functioning properly. I did the best I could for this client as a vacation rental owner. Nowhere in my advertising do I say this cabin is "secluded" Yes, the photos show the exterior of the cabin to it's best advantage. That is the goal of advertising photos. This cabin sits on a 1/2 acre heavily wooded lot. My cabins are CLEAN. The clients before and after him didn't mention dirty dishes? There is no garbage service in Island Park. NIck agreed to remove his garbage upon departure in his rental contract. What does removal of garbage have to do with the extremely hard work that cleaning ladies do? The cabin had to be cleaned after his departure, that is why he was charged a cleaning fee. This client asked for half of his rental payment to be refunded! The hot tub was available on the first night and he used it on the second night. The cabin was clean and ready for his family. I didn't respond to his refund request because I was on my own vacation when his email came in. I only saw it yesterday evening.

We where a group of 4 50+ guy staying at the cabin for 5 days. We enjoyed the cozy and well equipped setting. Dipping in the hot tub after a long hike in the Yellowstone was an evening delight!

Our family wanted to get out of the city to spend some quality time together before my oldest son left home. The cabin was easy to get to and beautifully located by the Island Park Reservoir. It was clean and spacious for our family of 8. The kitchen was fully stocked with whatever we needed to make meals, plenty of towels were provided, and all linens were fresh and clean. We had a wonderful stay and it was an easy drive into West Yellowstone and the park. The only one negative was that due to the holiday stay, the dump was closed and we had to haul our garbage into the city before we could get rid of it.
