Other Things to Note:

What to bring with you!- You're coming to a wilderness area to vacation and if you plan your vacation well you will have a positive experience. In the summertime May and through the middle of June can tend to be cooler early morning and toward the evening hours. Make sure to bring a jacket and long pants you can change into when needed. Bring a pair of tie up shoes to protect your feet. Shoes likes flip flops or sandals will not protect your feet when you are out exploring. Layering your clothing is a good idea and then if your too warm you can take off clothing as needed. At least this way when departing your cabin early morning to go site seeing you will have what you need with you. July and August are pretty warm and you should still bring a light jacket. The rest of the year you will want to bring heavier jackets and long underwear, snow suits etc. You will need to bring your private toiletries like bar soap and shampoo as we do not provide this for you. Cabins are equipped with everything else you should need except food of course. Snow tires and four-wheel-drive are recommended for traveling in Eastern Idaho during the winter. Road conditions can change quickly, and even well-traveled highways are occasionally closed by blizzards or high winds. Before setting out, check the Transportation Department's website or call 511 for an automated, up-to-the-minute status of all thoroughfares. Wise motorists will also carry emergency gear (shovel, snack bars, water, blankets) in their vehicles to be ready for any contingency. Coming Snowmobiling? A reminder to anyone traveling back country areas whether skiing, snowmobiling or hiking: Remember the time of year, exercising all back country cautions. Take necessary equipment and survival gear when venturing into the back country. If you have a GPS and cell phone, be sure to take them with you, but do not rely on them entirely for a safe rescue if you find yourself in trouble or stranded. Cell phones should be kept close to your body & turned off to keep the battery full, so it's not searching for a signal & running the battery down. Avalanche Transceivers and equipment, knowing what the avalanche conditions are, and knowing skills to save lives are a must for everyone entering back country riding or traveling. Plan ahead. Make sure you know the area you are going into before heading into it. If you find yourself in trouble, stop, take a look around you, and do not go any further. The further you go the more complicated and dangerous it is to get yourself to safety, also making rescue efforts more difficult and dangerous. Make mental notes in relation to any physical features or landmarks that would assist in your rescue. Make a plan, stick to your plan, narrow the riding area, & most of all...let someone know WHERE you are planning to go!

The house couldn’t have been more perfect for our large family. It was well equipped, clean and large enough you could “escape “ the crowd. Our only real complaint were the mattresses on all of the beds, springs coming through, rolling into the middle. May be time to invest in mattresses!!

Amazing! We loved this property!!

This was an amazing property for our large family of 24 / 2 families of 6, 2 families of 3 and 3 families of 2 - PLENTY of room for all to sleep, chill and eat!! Speaking of eating, this property is fully stocked with all you need to cook a meal!! SO MANY small appliances I can’t even list them all, SO MANY utensils, plates, cups etc etc etc. This property was more than ready for a large group like this, with pool/hot tub towels, and had more bath towels than I’ve ever seen!! The pool table was a huge hit for the kids and adults and the large sitting areas were amazing and fit us all! What a wonderful place to stay!! CORE MEMORIES WERE MADE FOR SURE!!

We had a great time. Close to Yellowstone, close to horse riding, close to the water for boating activities. Bring your own food because it is not close to a grocery store and limited to restaurants.

Just enough off the beaten path to give it a rustic feel; we enjoyed the heavily wooded lot. Everyone was pleased with the hot tub, fire pit, upstairs deck and comfy sitting area. Well-stocked kitchen and plenty of bath towels. Would definitely recommend!

Great family trip

This is our second stay at this great Island Park cabin. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The cabin is huge and laid out well to accommodate togetherness and downtime. There are 2 full size washers and driers, 2 refrigerator/freezers and plenty of parking for our 6 cars and a boat. The hot tub got a lot of use as did the fire pit(bring you own firewood). It’s about 30 minutes away from the park. We had to buy more paper towels. Soap for the shower, shampoo, conditioner are not provided.

Incredible!

Exactly what we were hoping for. Beautiful LARGE and spacious cabin for 24 people. Met all of our needs…hot tub, kitchen was stacked, grill, fire pit etc. Remote area…we had moose in our yard!! But a quick drive to town for gas/groceries and lots to do. Great pizza/ice cream parlor right on the Snake River. 30 min drive to West Yellowstone Cabin was clean, comfortable and owners were wonderful. Great communication. We will be back!!

Home was very roomy for our group of 10. Several cooks in the group found the kitchen to be very well stocked. Convienient to West entrance of Yellowstone. Having 2 stacked washer/dryer's was great for our group in the middle of our trip. The rental rate was very reasonable for the size of the property! We always appreciate people sharing their home! Several suggestions for the owners -label the thermostates we were not sure which controled what -some seating on the side porch by the gas grill would be nice -the "fire pit" area was not very inviting , no seating and was overgrown with weeds in the area. It could be a much nicer spot and a real focal spot on cool nights. -several lamps had missing or burned out light bulbs having some spares would have been good ,don't mind replacing them. -the hand rail at entrance needs to be replaced one side was missing and both have rotten wood. We arrive after dark and the railing was a safety hazard. Again thanks for sharing your home. Jim

Comfortable stay at Northstar

Well stocked kitchen, very helpful as we were cooking. Evenings did get warm tho. We used box fans around to help circulate, esp while cooking. Loft was too warm to utilize. We wished for more bathrooms downstairs, but we managed. Loved the dual washer and dryer, super. We thought location and offering was good for the price and would stay again.

Fantastic cabin in a fantastic location

This house was absolutely perfect for our stay. Spacious, well kept, clean and well stocked in a great location. Right on the edge of the woods and near the river, it was a great location to feel like you were secluded and enjoy the beautiful country, we even saw a moose out of the living room window! On top of our planned Yellowstone adventures we really enjoyed the hot tub, fire ring, pool table and just hanging out at the house. The kitchen was probably the best stocked of any rental I've ever stayed in. And it was super convenient to have two washers and dryers for a group of our size. Highly recommend!
