We had a great time at the Little Chalet cabin. Perfect spot for us as we love to be out in the wilderness. The cabin was just a short distance from everything we wanted to see while on our vacation. We are already talking about going back but next time renting both cabins and having our extended family come out too.

Over all it was good. A few things to think about tools for the grill. Lights above the kitchen sink that work. And a place to hang towels to dry.Keeping the grass mowed around the fire pit or change the area around the fire pit to gravel.

Thank you for your feedback. We’re glad to hear that overall you had a good stay. We did want to clarify a few items for future guests: grill tools are provided in the kitchen drawer, the lights above the kitchen sink are fully operational and controlled by a dimmer switch, and the chalet has both a towel bar and a clothes dryer available for drying towels. Regarding the fire pit area, the Little Chalet is located in a natural forest setting, not a landscaped grassy yard. The surrounding area is intentionally maintained as a mountain forest rather than mowed like a lawn, which is part of the natural Island Park experience. We were not contacted during the stay about any of these concerns. Had we been, we would have been happy to help locate the grill tools, explain the dimmer switch, or point out the available towel-drying options. We’re always just a message away and appreciate the opportunity to clarify these details for future guests.

Perfect Island Park stay for my wife and I

Fly fishing the world famous Henry’s Fork is our favorite thing to do and it was a short drive from the cabin. There are many other amazing fisheries within a very short drive. The cabin was very comfortable and it was supplied with everything we needed. The jacuzzi was very nice after being out all day hiking and fishing. I would definitely recommend staying here.

We recently stayed here and overall had a great time. The location is excellent, very peaceful, and it's a convenient base for exploring the area. The hot tub was perfect after a long day of adventures, and we had a blast using the backyard zip line after making a small repair to get it working.There were a few things future guests should know. The staircase is quite narrow, and the loft sleeping area has a very low ceiling, which made getting in and out of bed a bit uncomfortable. The bathroom sink would frequently run out of water while in use, and the pull out sofa bed in the living room is small and not very comfortable for sleeping.Also, be sure to bring your own coffee, sugar, and creamer, as these were not provided.Overall, we enjoyed our stay and appreciated the peaceful setting and outdoor amenities. With a few improvements, this property could provide an even better guest experience.

This is definitely a little cabin in the forest. The owners were very responsive to a few hiccups at the beginning of our stay, and problems were remedied by the next day, which I really appreciated. The property itself is well equipped and does include a personal hot tub. I would like to add the couch/bed is not a queen, more a full and would have been more comfortable with a thicker pad or air mattress. The couch does convert to a bed but remains a bit lumpy due to this. Nevertheless my teen son was comfortable enough. It is well stocked with appliances. Check in and check out was easy

The Little Chalet in the Forest

Overall, we were satisfied with our stay. The cabin appeared to be recently updated and was very attractive however it seemed more geared for younger guests rather than us senior citizens. The main floor was poorly lighted; we actually had to use the wall-mounted TV for additional lighting. This cabin is very close to the Big Chalet. The difference between the two when booking wasn’t as clear as I thought it should be. My original intention was to rent the Big Chalet and found out later it was the Little Chalet. Oh well, my mistake. The hot tub was not working when we arrived but the owner made the extra effort to repair it into the wee hours of the morning! It was very pleasant but not as private as I had hoped. All the appliances were practically new and worked well. The main bedroom is upstairs but a bit of a challenge to get into the bed due to the closeness to the ceiling. One must climb over the footboard to get in bed. The stairway is narrow; another challenge for seniors, but manageable. All told it was satisfactory. Suggestions: Some repairs to the deck are needed. Add a couple lamps on the main floor. Lastly, a nice cushioned chair for the upstairs bedroom would be nice. I would recommend the Little Chalet to younger friends with no hesitation, but caution older folk to beware of the minor drawbacks I listed above.

Perfect get-away

Our Little Chalet was exactly that - but so much more. We had everything we needed there - all in a very efficient set-up. It is adorable inside. We loved being able to cook our meals - thus saving us money. The kitchen had it all - dishwasher, toaster/oven, microwave, plus all the pots and pans, etc. you need. The outdoor grill was great to have, too. The sleeping situation worked out perfectly for our family of 4. The Chalet is in a beautiful area and so it was really the perfect get-away. We all loved it!

We wanted to get out of the touristy areas of yellowstone, but still be close to it and the Little Chalet was the perfect location. The cabin was cozy and perfect for us two. We loved the scenery and everything this cabin had to offer!

Fantastic cabin in excellent location.

The Little Chalet was such a wonderful little cabin. The cabin is in an excellent location and is easily accessible both from the main highway and the many walking, biking, hiking, or off-roading trails in the area. The owners are wonderful people who were extremely helpful. Every question or concern we had was promptly responded too, and the information was 100% accurate each time. We enjoyed horseback riding and kayaking during our trip, but honestly we spent the largest part of our visit out and about on the many, many riding trails nearby. Unfortunately we didn’t get to do any fishing, hot tubbing, or campfires (burn bans were in place) but there is a hot tub on the property, a wonderful little fire pit as well, and access to the river is literally within a mile of the property (you can also drive to one of the lakes nearby or go below the damn and fish, all within just a few minutes of the cabin). The cabin is wonderfully appointed with everything that you will need to enjoy your stay. The Instant hot water heater made showering and meal preparation a breeze (shuffling a 12 and 14 yo can be a pain). The kitchen, bath, and loft have wonderful furnishings, the countertops were a pleasant surprise in both the kitchen and bath as well, and the cabinets were full of everything you could need to prepare and serve your meals. I could go on and on about the property, but my best advice is to take a visit for yourself and enjoy the Little Chalet for yourself. I know my wife and I will definitely be going back, hopefully we will get to enjoy more of what the cabin has to offer next time, but even if we just repeat every aspect of our trip, I am sure we will leave with a smile on our faces just again.

Great Stay for Yellowstone

Great little cabin to stay while visiting Yellowstone. West Yellowstone is just 25 minutes away and it’s a very scenic drive. We enjoyed the hot tub after each day of hiking. There is also a cool river kayaking place 4 minutes away which was very fun.

Awesome Cabin

This cabin in such a gem. It was a wonderful spot to stay outside the crowds of the park. It is small but has everything you need to make your stay relaxing. This inside of the cabin is super cozy. The deck outside it wonderful for relaxing in the afternoons, we ate every dinner outside. The bbq grill was in good working order which was great for easy meals outside. The highlight was probably the hot tub! Our kids loved relaxing in it at night and it was in a great spot right on the deck and protected from wind and rain. Teara was a very kind and helpful host. She has a lot of knowledge about the area and you can tell the chalet is a place she really loves and takes care of well for others to enjoy.

Wonderful Little Cabin

The owners, Teara and Andy, have put a lot of thought into this cabin to maximize the space and help you have a good experience. The pine interior is cozy rustic and yet also modern with plenty of amenities. The owners go above and beyond also were very responsive when we had a couple of questions. The property is half an hour from West Yellowstone and the park entrance along an easy stretch of highway. There also are beautiful state parks on the Idaho side nearby that we recommend visitors check out. We highly recommend this property and we plan to contact the owners about their places if we’re back in the area to visit again.

Wonderful place! Exceeded our expectations!

My husband and I, with our little one, stayed here for a few nights in August and had an amazing time. We loved eating bbq out on the deck and letting our little one run around. The cabin was pretty easy to baby/toddler proof. We loved how it felt secluded and that we had our own space. The location is close to Big Springs and about 30mins away from Mesa Falls and Harriman State Park which is totally worth the drive. It was a very cozy place to stay and just the vacation we needed. Thank you!
