Enjoy a fun family cabin near the West entrance to Yellowstone National Part and the fun town of West Yellowstone.
Perfect for family reunions or a fun get away with family and friends. The cabin is on a wooded acre of land for fun outside play.
The cabin has 4 bedrooms with either a queen or double bed in each. The 5th bedroom is a large loft that has 5 single beds along with a double bed. We have found that kids love to stay together in the loft and can be heard giggling and talking for hours. We have a pack and play along with a highchair in case you are traveling with an infant.
If you plan on cooking at the cabin, the kitchen is fully stocked with pots, pans, cooking utensils, eating utensils and place settings for 14. There are small appliances for you to use including, crock pots (large and small), hand mixer, blender, griddle, coffee maker and toaster in addition to a propane grill on the front deck. The cupboards have basic cooking supplies such as sugar, flour, salt baking soda and a variety of spices.
There is a game closet filled with games, puzzles, movies and children's toys in case of inclement weather or if you chose to spend a day around the cabin. The washer and Dryer are there for your use and detergent is provided along with an ironing board and iron.
You will have the entire cabin to yourselves when you book this property including the fun outdoor amenities. The fire pit is available for your use. Firewood is not provided but can be purchased locally. There is a picnic area with outdoor seating including a porch swing.
There are many squirrels and chipmunks at the cabin who love to eat peanuts. We will leave you a jar of peanuts in shells you can put along the top railing of the front porch. It is fun to watch them through the big windows as they enjoy a tasty treat. There are also birds of many varieties in Island Park. We have bird feeders hanging in the trees in front of the cabin. There are bird books to use as a reference so you can identify the different species that you see. From time to time we have seen fox, deer, antelope, Elk and occasionally a moose wonder by.
The cabin is in a wonderful location. The trout fishing on Henry's lake is some of the best in the world. Twenty miles to the North is the West entrance to Yellowstone National Park and the fun town of West Yellowstone where you can enjoy the Yellowstone Museum, IMAX theater, tons of souvenir shopping, and even take in a show at the Play-Mill Theater. Just 10 miles to the South is Mack's Inn where you can float the river or go to Big Springs where you can see the springs at the head of the snake river and view huge trout in crystal clear water. If you choose to eat out there are many good restaurants in both Island park and West Yellowstone.
There is no public transportation in the Island Park/West Yellowstone area. Personal vehicles are the best way to get around. Many people enjoy boating, 4-wheeling, hiking trails and even biking through the national parks. There are many rental shops in the area where you can rent everything from canoes and boats to ATV's and bikes.
