About this property

Forest Haven, a Cozy Cabin, 30 Minutes from Yellowstone!

Look no further, this really is the ULTIMATE cabin for your summer or winter vacation! In November 2010, we purchased this lovely, smoke-free, cabin (built June 2010) in beautiful Island Park, Idaho. It's just a 30 minute drive to Yellowstone National Park, but that's only the beginning.

Located in the center of the Island Park area you have access to fishing, wildlife viewing, and snowmobiling/four wheeling right from the front door. We have plenty of off street parking for your toys.

We have really gone above and beyond and have spared no expense to make our cabin an exceptional place to stay while offering an incredible value for your money!

Our cabin has a fully stocked kitchen with convenient appliances, including a full size washer & dryer inside the unit. You can relax with our gas stove, roomy bathrooms and attractive furnishings. Smoking is not allowed.

We have a king-sized bed in the master bedroom with an extra comfy pillow top mattress, a queen-sized bed in the upstairs bedroom, and two more queens and a twin in the loft. There is also a pullout couch in the living room downstairs. The dining room table is large and can accommodate up to 9. There is a "full" bathroom downstairs and a very roomy "3/4" bathroom upstairs with a shower, but no tub.

The cabin is stocked with everything that will make your stay comfortable and fun! We have a total of 2 TVs with DVD players (a 46' flat screen in the living room, and a smaller t.v. in the upstairs 'kids corner'.) We also provide a selection of movies for the whole family. The summer of 2012 we added Direct t.v. and internet service. Cell phone coverage is available. We do not have air conditioning, but in the hottest of months if you open the windows after sunset, the mountain breezes will quickly leave you comfortably cool.

Your kids will love the books, board games and toys we provide. After a long day of having fun, you are welcome to use the gas grill on our patio, and make S'mores, sing campfires songs, and tell ghost stories around the fire pit.

Great place to stay for a family! It was clean and we enjoyed the scenery! The only thing was it was really hot during the nights even with the windows open especially upstairs, fans would make a huge difference. We really enjoyed this stay! Thank you!

The only thing we would change was being able to change the thermostat. It cooled down nicely with the windows open but it took all night for it to cool down. But this was such a fun cabin and fit our needs perfectly. Thank you

Relaxing and Perfect Getaway

We LOVED this property. It was a wonderful reset between camping adventures with a great kitchen and access to laundry. The house was well stocked and hosted a fantastic set of games for the family. Our most loved feature was the guest book which hosts a hide and seek treasure hunt that has been going on between guests for years.Great stay!!!

Beautiful cabin!

The cabin was very nice and extremely clean. The layout was ideal for multiple people. The stairs were not very steep for my elderly mom. The cabin was the perfect location for our vacation to Yellowstone. I would highly recommend this cabin to family and friends.

About the host

Hosted by Regina Eliason

Host profile image
My husband and I are from Utah. We have one daughter and an English Bulldog. I am a stay at home mom who enjoys photography, knitting, and digital scrapbooking.

Why they chose this property

Our family loves to snowmobile, fish, ride 4 wheelers, hike, and camp. We also LOVE Yellowstone. After our third trip in one summer to the area, we decided we should buy a cabin so we can have a comfy place to stay each and every time we visit Island Park.

What makes this property unique

Our cabin was built in 2010. It has a fully stocked kitchen, complete with dishwasher, microwave and coffee pot. Full size washer and dryer are on site and ready to use. TV and DVD player in the living room, and also in the loft for the little ones. A DVD library, bean bag chairs, toys, and games, even a high chair and pack-n-play style crib. Doorstep access to MILES of trails (some say 400 miles, some say 600 miles... when we ride them ALL, we'll let you know for sure.) Trails are groomed for snowmobiling in winter, and accessible to four wheeling in summer. Many cross country skiing, snowshoeing and hiking trails are nearby. Over 50 awesome fishing holes, and rivers for the fisherman. Wildlife, such as swans, moose, deer, and other critters abound. Only 30 minutes from Yellowstone National Park for even more wildlife viewing. Smoking is not allowed.
This really is the ULTIMATE cabin rental!
