Start your Yellowstone National Park or Island Park adventure at Bear Paw Lodge. Enjoy a 'perfect cabin-in-the-woods' experience, and feel at home the moment you walk in. Rustic charm meets modern comfort and amenities in this charming bear-themed cabin, thoughtfully designed for comfort and relaxation. It's a great place to unwind after a day of adventure. Approx. 34 minutes from the West Yellowstone entrance, and centrally located to all that Island Park offers.

Arrive to the freshness of crisp mountain air, and enjoy the privacy and shade provided by the towering pines and aspen trees heavily scattered around this ideal woodland retreat. This charming, fully remodeled, 1,200-square-foot, cabin greets you with a log exterior, bear shutters and generous covered front and back porches. The front door leads you into an open living space with 2-story vaulted ceilings and exposed wood beams over a kitchen, dining area, and family room.

Gather and prepare meals in a fully-equipped kitchen that is generously stocked with coffee, cream and sweeteners, tea, a large spice/seasoning selection, basic condiments, and everything needed to create meals on-site. Dine and sip beverages at the kitchen island barstools. Share meals and play games at the dining table, or at the outdoor picnic table, shaded from afternoon sun.

Don't forget to freeze some ice packs to throw into a cooler for tomorrow's adventures. We provide both on-site, as a convenience...along with loaner bear spray, portable camp chairs, fishing gear, first aid, and little extras, in case you forget something.

Relax in the cozy family room, centered around a modern propane fireplace and Smart TV - a perfect spot to unwind and relax after a day of exploring and adventure. Take in forest views from the large picture window, and enjoy the newly installed AC.

Sleep comfortably in a main floor master suite with a king-size bed, featuring premium pillows and linens, and an ensuite bathroom. The master is tucked in the back of the cabin, offering privacy from the living area. Settle in with a late night movie on the Smart TV. Store your items away in the closet and dresser...plenty of space to make your own during your stay.

Discover the spacious sleeping loft where kids, and adults alike, will enjoy two queen beds, a closet, dresser and 1/2 bath.

All bedrooms are fashioned with AC, room-darkening curtains, portable fans, easily accessible power and USB ports for electronics on nightstands, and extra pillows and blankets.

Enjoy the convenience of 2-full and 1-half baths so you're not fighting for shower or potty time. There are 2 full baths on the main floor, and a small, but convenient, half bath in the loft. Enjoy a closet full of premium bath sheet-size towels, hand towels, make-up washcloths, body wash, shampoo and conditioner, toilet paper, etc.

New for 2025! Bear Paw 'Cub' House arcade area. The Cub House is an on-property entertainment space, separate from the cabin...a great place to unwind or to send the kids so you can get some much-needed quiet and relaxation. Enjoy a professional arcade cocktail machine with 412 classic games, Smart TV, darts, etc.

Immerse yourself in nature with the outdoor spaces and amenities available for your use, including covered front and back decks with seating. Enjoy a peaceful morning cup of coffee (provided), chat with friends and family, or prepare meals on the propane grill. You may encounter a visit from the squirrels, fox, song birds, moose, elk and deer that call our neighborhood home. Occasional mountain rainstorms are common, and grilling meals under cover is a plus. Enjoy meals at the picnic table, which is shaded in the evening, and a perfect spot for dinner outside.

Create memories as you warm up on a cool mountain night around the fire pit out back. Roast marshmallows or cook dinner over the open flame (you can find marshmallow roasting/hotdog sticks in the kitchen, a S'more station, and FREE firewood on site). Oversize, comfortable stacking chairs (with cup holders and lumbar support) are available for your use around the fire pit.
