This property was perfect for our stay. It had the space and accommodations we needed while still feeling cozy and private. It had full amenities, tons of great information about the area, and lots of charm. We loved our stay here.
Wonder cabin on the lake. We loved our visit! So peaceful. The kitchen was very well stocked with pots pans, spices, etc. Appliances were nice and new.
This place is a quiet slice of home by the river, birds landing on the water and fish jumping as you sit and drink coffee on the deck outside in the morning. The inside of the house is clean and well maintained and beautifully wood finished and decorated with the outdoorsman in mind. There is everything you should need inside. If we were to visit the area again would definitely stay here again!!!!

Great family vacation!
The cabin was very comfortable inside and we enjoyed using the outdoor fire pit for roasting hot dogs and s'mores, and playing games in the large grassy yard. We visited Yellowstone, took a float trip and did some fly fishing. We had a very relaxing family vacation with 7 adults and 2 kids, ages 3 and 7. We enjoyed playing games, doing puzzles, and watching movies when just hanging out at the cabin. It was quiet and we enjoyed seeing the osprey circle and dive for dinner on the water.

Beautiful cabin, great location
We stayed in the cabin for 3 nights. Its located on a beautiful, private portion of Henry's Fork. We spent a great amount of time out on the dock fishing. Caught over 10 fish! Hardly saw any neighbors, and even enjoyed the off-and-on again rain showers throughout our stay. The home was extremely welcoming. Only a 45 minute drive to West Yellowstone, and plenty to explore close by. Considering the other rentals in Island Park, the price for this particular cabin is a bit high. Other than that, we were very pleased.

Our Yearly Vacation w/Grandkids
Everything was as advertised on the website. We had a great stay with the cabin being the jumping off point for access to Yellowstone and Island Park areas. The only setback was the weather. It was in the high 90's so we didn't get to really see much in regards to the wildlife in the Park but we did get to watch as a Bald Eagle and Osprey catch fish just off the pier from the cabin. Grandkids loved the location, especially the "stuffed" animals inside the cabin.

wonderful. at the waterfront, peaceful.
much space for at least 6 people, individually furnished, well equipped kitchen, everything clean. Great outside sitting area, large lawn, gas Barbecue. Very beautiful waterfront views, birdwatching, saw a moose 600 yds away from the house. And only about 30 mins. to Yellowstone, while all shopping is possible nearby, although expensive. And wonderful things to see and do without having to go to Yellowstone. Great hiking, canoeing, fishing. Henry's Lake and Fork, Mesa falls, Red Rock Natural Reserve... Very good advance information by the manager, unrestricted recommendation.

Wonderful
Its a wonderful Cabin wich is nice and furnished with a detailed flair. Everything you need is there. To get there, don't follow your navi, it will lead you to forest roads. We had a great time. We tried fishing with fly-rods for 2 days and didn't catch a fish. Then we bought a normal rod from the gas station store for only 20$ and we catched 5 fish on one day.

My family had a wonderful time at this Island Park cabin. Very peaceful, lots of fun things to do in the local area. We rented ATVs to explore the many off road trails in the area. Rented a pontoon boat for a day on the reservoir. Floated down the river on a tube at Big Springs. And took a day trip to Yellowstone. The yard at this cabin is plenty big for family games, barbecues, and just hanging out for a peaceful afternoon. Our only disappointment was that the river was low for our July visit, so we couldn't use the dock for fishing and boating from the property.

Island Park
We were so excited to stay there! From the pictures of the boy fishing off of the dock and the kayaker. We drove up and went straight out to the back of the cabin.......huge disappointment! The water in the river/lake was maybe 2 ft deep, and that was out in the very middle. The rest was dry (or very deep mud). We had talked a ton with the other family staying with us about all of the fishing and kayaking the kids would be doing. We know that this isn't something the owners or management company ha control over, but maybe someone should have warned us? I am sure they worried that people would cancel or ask for refunds. We would have asked for a discounted rate! There were also a ton of earwigs by the front door and in the laundry room. We were constantly stepping not on them on the way in and out.
On a good note, the rest of the cabin was nice. We enjoyed our stay, and found other things to do.
If we were guaranteed a time with water and no earwigs, I think we may try it out again!

Unfortunately this year has been one of the hardest we have ever experienced. The Island Park Reservoir is the main source of water for our neighboring communities farmers and due to the extremely low snow pack over the last couple of winters the water supply has taken a HUGE hit. The water levels dropping this low was an unexpected and unwelcome experience this summer, but alas we cannot control Mother Nature.
We do appreciate you staying with us and hope that the cabin itself was all you had hoped for. As for our visiting bugs, they were taken care of with some Home Defense!
Beautiful Cabin, clean, well equipped. When booking be careful about the time of year and the water levels. We are here in the end of August and the river is not usable, that was the main draw. I understand that is out of the owners control and I should have looked into hat but it should be mentioned in the description. Still a great peaceful spot.

Comfortable cabin with many amenities.
We received a recommendation on this cabin from a friend whose family stayed there the previous year. We booked it a year in advance and were not disappointed. The cabin was clean and comfortable and fully stocked with everything needed to prepare meals. All we had to do was bring our food. It made a great jumping off point to West Yellowstone and Yellowstone Park, as well as area attractions in Island Park. Though Island Park reservoir was low, it did not detract from our family enjoying the cabin. Cool nights and comfortable days. We will use VRBO again when our family picks its next vacation destination.

A RIVER IN YOUR BACKYARD!!
We arrived in the afternoon of July 4th, 2016 to a beautiful view - right out the back of the cabin! We sat out on the back porch every morning and evening watching the birds on the river. The cabin has plenty of outdoor furniture. Our family of 5, including 3 boys (ages 16, 13 & 10), enjoyed the large, well-maintained property and the many amenities the cabin offered. We spent the days fishing, picnicking, off-roading, hiking and canoeing around IP, then returned every evening to fish right off our private dock. We BBQ'd and roasted hot dogs/smores in the fire-pit. The boys played foosball, board games and watched 4 seasons of "Top Gear" on Netflex after sundowns. Although the cabin has plenty of puzzles, we brought our own and worked it one cozy, rainy day. Unfortunately, we dropped a few pieces through the deck and were unable to retrieve them. There is a large library of DVDs and an Atari console. My husband and I were happy to hear the boys were unable to connect it properly, as we hoped to leave video games back in California.
The cabin was extremely clean and stocked with everything one could possible need. The interior is warm, cozy, and obviously well-loved by her owners. The description is accurate and I would definitely recommend this property to friends and relatives. The cost is fair, if not lower than one would expect. I gave a 4 instead of a 5 star for a couple of things with regards to the river; both of which our out of the owners control. I've been coming to IP for over 45 years and understand its water is at the mercy of Mother Nature. The river was not at 100%. There is about 15 feet of exposed rocky shoreline we had to venture over to get to the dock. Minor, but the reason I mention it is because of the pic of the little boy fishing on the dock is not reflective of the water level we experienced July 4 - 11, 2016. Also, the watercraft was loud and took away from the beauty and pristine. They created large wakes that splashed over the dock. We didn't see any wildlife, other than birds, and I'm convinced it's because of the boats. For boat owners, the ramp is a convenient couple doors down.
I could not end this review without mentioning the property manager, Shawna. She is fabulous! She is extremely quick to reply and went over and beyond what was asked of her. I had a question before we arrived and did not expect an answer for days. Not only did she get right back with me, but she snapped a photo along with her reply.

perfect place to relax by the Snake river
We very much enjoyed staying here during our 3 nights stay in late June. The back yard is big enough for our kids to play and enjoy the smore making at the fire pit. the house is equipped with lots of things for us to cook our own meal. There are lots of videos and games for kids. I like the Keurig coffee machine that makes me good coffee like at home. the owner is very quick in response to my text message. I received from the owner an information pack by post in 3+ weeks before my trip, it is very well prepared. We feel this place very warm and special to us and will love to come back.

Great cabin, great price
The cabin was great and comfortably fit 9 people 6 adults and 3 kids. Each child wanted their own bed and with the pullout sofa there are 5 beds in the house that left us one short, however the couch was so comfortable the remaining child slept just fine on it. The water level in the reservoir was perfect for our stay in mid to late June however we were told that it gets severely depleted later in the season due to local farmers. The water on a windless day is completely still, this means there is a lot of plant growth and also a fair amount of mosquitoes, with citronella candles and bug repellent they left us alone, without we were practically a buffet for them. We left additional trip ideas in the visitors log if anyone is interested in venturing out.

Convenient, clean, roomy, but cozy
The house is spacious and very clean. It had everything we needed. The written directions were helpful. There was a binder in the cabin with a thoughtful note and useful information. We were greeted with a gift of smore ingredients which was very sweet. Me and my family really enjoyed our stay.

Beauty - Ultimate experience
The best view we had recently. Dock, awesome backyard and enough space and nice lake view.
The cabin was clean, easily accessible and not too far from the stores. Decent cell phone signals.
Really good place to stay with kids.
Reason for 4 stars - Really slow wifi. We rented the cabin for 3 nights. After second night we completely lost connectivity.

RENTING IT FOR THE THIRD TIME:)
We love this house. The location is perfect for our families to get together. Our married daughters drive in from Bozeman and Pocatello. We drive from Jackson Hole. The house has EVERYTHING. Shawna is a wonderful Property Manager and takes very good care of us. We are hoping to rent the house next summer for a week to enjoy water activities. Rancho McCrea is off the beaten track in Island Park. Much more enjoyable than Bill's Island, especially on the weekends. Rent it..........you won't regret it.
