Welcome to Don’t Pet the Buffalo! Your Yellowstone home base where the adventure starts the minute you arrive.
Spend the day exploring Yellowstone’s geysers, waterfalls, and wildlife, then come back to your own mountain getaway. Fire up the BBQ, soak in the hot tub, gather around the fire pit, and swap stories about everything you saw that day. This is the kind of place where the whole family can relax, reconnect, and make memories.
The main floor has 3 bedrooms and 2 full bathrooms. Two bedrooms feature queen beds and closets, with a TV in one. The third is a fun kid-friendly bunk room. You’ll also find the fully equipped kitchen, dining area, comfortable living room, and laundry all on the main level.
The upstairs loft adds two more queen beds, making room for the whole crew. Please note that the stairs to the loft are narrow and steep.
And Yellowstone isn't the only adventure! Float the Snake River, explore Big Springs, cast a fly on the Henry’s Fork, hit the ATV trails in summer, or snowmobile miles of trails in winter. There’s always another adventure waiting.
Come for Yellowstone. Stay for everything that makes Island Park special. And whatever you do…Don’t Pet the Buffalo.

Beautiful, comfortable place to stay. Beds are Comfortable, hot tub on site was good. The only thing that is wrong is that the house is not handicapped accessible, so if you are disabled like me it is hard to get up the stairs to the front door. There needs to be handicaped rails on the stairs, and an wheelchair ramp. We were very impressed with the property and would recommend it for your stay in the Yellowstone area.
