Did Not Want to Leave

This place is unbelievable. From the bedrooms to the bathrooms to the kitchen. Extraordinary. The hot tub was nice. The game room was the best of the entire place. We had so much fun there. Listening to the river roll by our cabin was so peaceful.

True oasis out in the country

Enjoyed the game room, fishing, firepit, river, and kitchen, and rooms. A private property that you probably don’t ever need to leave, but is close to great adventures and activities that might make you leave.

Beautiful house and grounds. Can’t say enough about how the kids loved it, they were sad to leave. Moose visited a couple nights which was a hit. Really a great place to relax and the gated drive way with bridge over the river really created a sense of seclusion. Hoping to come back..

Incredible Cabin Retreat

I stayed at the Cabin with my family and it was absolutely wonderful. The hosts’ attention to detail was impeccable and everything was thought of. The entire place was spotless and everything we needed was provided like soaps, towels, extra blankets, etc. would highly recommend this place for anyone considering it for a family retreat.

Beautiful Large Log Cabin in Nature's Natural Setting

When we were not visiting West Yellowstone National Park, Jackson Hole and the wonderful scenery of Idaho our five grandchildren enjoyed the "gym". They played ping pong, air hockey and basketball. The wooded island setting with trails is truly beautiful. We enjoyed the hot tub most every evening after our daily sightseeing. This was the most completely stocked VRBO we have ever rented. All ten of us (5 adults and 5 children) were completely satisfied.

Perfect Retreat

We stayed here the night before and following my son's wedding in Idaho Falls and had a family/friends dinner out on the back lawn. The large island in the kitchen was the perfect buffet table. It was such a beautiful, peaceful setting. I wish we had more time to sit and enjoy the river...I guess we just need to go back

Great family rental for a group!

This was a great rental for our small family but could have hosted a whole group with big bedrooms and lots of beds on either side of the house. Everything was clean and the property was nice and private surrounded by wildlife (we saw a mama moose and baby) in the river surrounding the property so that was a treat. Close enough in to town to get things you need but far enough out to feel like a cabin in the woods a bit. Beds were comfortable and bathrooms and kitchen were stocked and updated and clean. Host was so nice and responsive to work with...would definitely return!
