About this property

Lakefront cabin with private dock and fire pit - Hidden Bear Cabin

Hidden Bear Cabin is a cozy lakefront getaway with a private dock that sits on the calm, inviting waters of Island Park Reservoir. The house is located high in the Rocky Mountains on a gated Island that features a common lodge for guest use. The cabin is fully equipped with everything you need, has a full kitchen, coffee maker, toaster, you name it. Outside the cabin is a fire pit & dining area, plenty of seating and beautiful views. Yellowstone National Park is just a short 40 minute drive away.

The main floor of this beautiful two story cabin features a bedroom with a queen bed and a shared bathroom. This floor also houses a full-sized kitchen, large dining room table and a spacious family room with a fireplace, TV and plenty of room for gathering with the whole family.

The loft is the perfect space for the kids to sleep. It has 2 queen beds for that fun sleepover type feel and a full bathroom just for the kids. Here there is also a love seat for relaxing and reading a book and a beautiful view of the lake.

Guests will have access to the entire house with a private fire pit and outdoor areas but will share access of the dock with the house next door which can also be rented as a pair for getting multiple groups together. Look for the listing titled "Bunk House Cabin" for availability and pricing. Guests will also have access to the Lake Side Lodge which is for community use. Here you'll also be able to find rentals for the lake and a full service restaurant and bar.

I give my guests space but I live in the area year around and am available when needed.

This cabin is sure to fulfill your dreams of lakeside living in the Rockies. Enjoy boating, fishing and the endless network of ATV trails that you can access right from the cabin. Yellowstone National Park is a 40 minute drive through beautiful country and is a must see on your vacation to Island Park. Located on the calm, inviting Island Park Reservoir waters with Blue Ribbon fishing just down the way and a semi private beach and dock right out the back door, it doesn't get better than this.

Guests will need their own transportation to get to the cabin and around the area as there are no public transportation or ride share services available in the area. There is free on-site parking.

NOTE: This property sits on the cove side of the Island, and later in the summer the water level can drop and recede based on previous snow levels and use. There is free wifi but note that there is not cable TV available at the cabin. Cable TV is available at the Lakeside Lodge. Cell phones do work at the cabin should you need them. There is no A/C.

When we arrived there is a shared lock box with other guests who didn’t return it so we had to contact and wait 45 minutes to get in and the security guard said no way he was letting us in so that was rather inconvenient. The grill was dirty and out of propane so we had to run back to town to get it filled. No grilling utensils either. The upstairs shower had a big glob of hair in it and there was sex lubricant under the main bed which was rather gross. Overall it was really enjoyable just a few oversights. We’d use it again

Perfect cabin on the waterfront

It was a quick trip, but the cabin was perfect for our needs. We especially loved being right on the water. And communication was top-notch!

Cozy Lake Front Cabin

Cabin and property is beautiful. The cabin decor has a nice cozy feel. Enjoyed the fire pit and saw a lot of stars in sky. Communication with the host was excellent. We will definitely be back.

Wonderful stay near Yellowstone, about 45 minutes away. 10 minutes off the main road. Very secluded & safe with keyed entry. Communication was confusing, there are 3 different phone numbers for contact. Great communication once I got the right #. TV listing is incorrect & was very disappointing, there is no cable or satellite. The DVD player was jammed, leaving us with only VHS. House is clean, nice & cozy. Tons of supplies! We have never stayed somewhere as well stocked! Lake was great to fish & sunbathe at. There is no central air or heat, but the temperature was perfect in June. The fireplace heats the house well & there are portable heaters as well. Would highly recommend this house!

Out of the way retreat

Yes, it's a couple of miles off the main stretch, but what a reward at the end. A cozy cabin on the lake with access to kayaks. A perfect place to get away from it all, yet close enough to Yellowstone for more adventure.

Our stay at the Lakefront Cabin at Island Park was absolutely wonderful! The cabin is in a stunning location with beautiful lake views and a peaceful atmosphere that made it the perfect place to relax. The location is ideal, with easy access to nearby attractions, outdoor activities, and everything Island Park has to offer.The cabin was well-equipped with great amenities that made our stay comfortable and enjoyable. We especially appreciated how thoughtfully everything was set up, making it feel like a home away from home.The hospitality from the host was truly exceptional. They were welcoming, responsive, and went above and beyond to ensure we had everything we needed. Their kindness and attention to detail made a great stay even better.The only small suggestion for improvement would be updating the kitchen and bathroom abinets. Some of the drawers and cupboard doors don't open and close properly, which can be a little frustrating. Aside from that minor issue, everything else was perfect.Thank you for sharing your beautiful cabin with us—we had an amazing stay and would gladly return!

Amazing!

Great cabin! 45 minute drive to Yellowstone, but it’s worth it! Right on the lake. Fire pit, cornhole, kayaks, canoe, games, and all the kitchen necessities! My boys wanted to stay longer!

Dream location

We loved this place!! My family did not want to leave. We played in the water, had a private dock, access to kayaks/canoes/ and life jackets. Cornhole game and fire pit. Breathtaking views. Definitely will be returning.

The cabin itself was great. We didn’t know until we got there that the water level was so low our private dock was sitting on the dirt. Our fishing trip didn’t turn out the way we thought. But it was still a great time.

Unfortunately lower water levels like that can happen so late in the season. I'm glad you still enjoyed the cabin.

Vi var to par der boede i The Hidden Bear Cabin. Det kan varmt anbefales til andre. Især hvis man har behov for virkelig at slappe af fra stress og jag. Hytten indbyder til hygge og ro. Der er fine bekvemmeligheder, og stort set alle apparater virker (dog ikke tv, dvd osv, men det er jo heller ikke derfor man tager på ferie) Naturen er fantastisk allerede fra du træder ud af døren, og især hvis du ønsker at udforske Yelowstone, Teton eller andre storslåede naturreservater.Om aftenen grillede vi på den store grill på terrassen, og hyggede os til sent. Vejret i begyndelsen af september var så fint og varmt at vi kunne være udenfor til sent. Til sidst sad vi ved bålstedet og kiggede på stjerner i den smukke aften/nat himmel. Vi vil sent glemme dette ophold - simpelthen et fantastisk dejligt sted!
