About this property
Cozy, Affordable Cabin- Only 20-25 minutes from Yellowstone!
Island park is currently under a burn ban. NO FIRE OF ANY TYPE ALLOWED.
The Waystone Cabin is located in the heart of Island Park (in the Mack's Inn area) and is just 20 miles from West Yellowstone and Yellowstone National Park.
The West entrance of Yellowstone is now open! It's a great time to visit the park with fewer people. We also completely sanitize and disinfect the cabin between each rental.
*Great for snowmobiles and winter getaways!
Now with new furniture for relaxing! New larger sectional sofa and two new recliners make the living space even better!
This cozy cabin is great for large parties and small gatherings alike. As you walk in the front door, you'll see a large kitchen fully equipped with everything you need to stay and be comfortable (including utensils, pots and pans, dishes, and a Keurig). In the middle of the kitchen is a large island that seats six, making it a perfect place to cook, eat, and talk.
Next is the living room. It features a huge sectional and a 65" HDTV with streaming options for a variety of shows and movies. There's also an additional seating area with a bookshelf full of books, games, and movies for your enjoyment.
The cabin also includes high-speed internet—with unlimited data! You can stream, surf, and watch to your heart's content. All included with rental!
Also on the main floor is a full bathroom (shower and bath -- shampoo and conditioner are always available) and a laundry/mud room with a washer and dryer. You can take off your boots and snow clothes here after a long day on the trails or wash your swimsuits after taking a dip or floating down the nearby Henry's Fork River (just a block away)!
As you walk up the stairs, you'll come to a second living area with a queen sofa bed and a second HDTV and a DVD player. This a great place for kids to take some quiet time while the adults lounge downstairs.
Upstairs there are four bedrooms: three queen beds and one king bed. There are also sleeping mats for younger kids to sleep on the floor.
There are both front and back decks and balconies off each room—perfect places to drink your morning coffee and watch for wildlife (we often see deer, moose, and birds, with occasional bear and fox sightings).
The cabin is on a full acre of land, keeping you secluded from the neighbors. But it's still within a two minute drive of a gas station/C-store. And Big Springs (a definite must if you're in the area) is just four miles away.

About the host
Hosted by Alex Mitton
The Waystone Cabin is owned by the Mitton family (there are 17 of us and counting!). We named the cabin after a place in our favorite book. (It's called The Name of the Wind and it's awesome. It's on the bookshelf if you have time to read while you're staying with us.)
After years of visiting and renting in Island Park ourselves, we finally decided to buy a permanent home. Because we've been renting for so long, we know what makes for a great stay and we've worked hard to make sure you have everything you need. And because we spend so much time here too, we take care of it so it's always clean and comfortable.
