About the host

Hosted by Chad

Host profile image
We are excited to share our little piece of history. The thought of this being one of the orignial stage coach stations in the area, the stories told and experienced on this site inspired us to purchase the property and make it a place of refuge for all. We have put in significant time and effort and will continue to do so to make it amazing. We sure hope you enjoy it, and feel free to reach out if you have any issues that pop up.

Why they chose this property

We chose this neighborhood because it was away from the busy central Island Park. It is quiet, on it's own mountain side that overlooks Henry's Lake. We feel like we have the best of both worlds with quiet yet accessible as well a gorgeous views of the local terrain.

What makes this property unique

This cabin is shaded really well by large old pines as well as several aspens and additional pines on the property. The unique sound of wind blowing through the aspens is a not only our favorite cabin sound but also the scenery of the white bark against bright green leaves is striking. It's calming as it seems there is always a gently breeze to rustle the leaves as well as add extra cooling effect to the cabin. The cabin currently sits on a double lot and so the extra space to move about is an added feature with fire pit and lots of parking.
