About this property

Bean's Lodge, sleep 9, fully equip near WYellowstone, easy access to all spots

Bean's Bighorn Lodge is a great gathering spot which is fully equipped for your wonderful memory packed vacation in the heart of Island Park's most beautiful scenery. The views are fabulous from this beautiful cabin with wrap-around deck located 11miles/15 minutes from the West entrance to Yellowstone National Park. The Continental Divide is only 1.5 miles away with trail heads in several directions.

Be sure to drive to Mesa Falls for a view of natures wonder in falls that are truly inspiring. Then continue to Jackson with views of the Tetons from the Western side across fields of wheat, alfalfa and more. This makes a great day trip.

Jackson's Hole is a historic and fun western town with old town feel and cultural attractions and eateries. Teton National Park is a short drive with majestic views of the Teton mountain peaks and Jenny's lake at the base. Take a ferry across the lake to the beautiful falls and picnic area. At the end of the day on the way back to the cabin, stop at the famous Bar J Ranch for a western style chuck-wagon dinner and show. Reservations are recommended/required.

Enjoy the sunrise with your favorite beverage from the large peaceful, private deck overlooking fabulous views from an unblemished panorama.

Bring your food and toys and prepare to be wowed with the cabin and surrounding country. Great place to gather and for exploring Yellowstone National Park, Jackson's Hole, quaint Ennis, fishing, boating, hiking, rafting, biking, 4-wheeling, sight-seeing and horse-back riding in summer months.

Great location terrible host. Stay away from the exceptional rating.

The house is beautiful and the location is unbeatable. This was a last minute booking. I asked to book for 2 days and the host sent me the confirmation for a day. I again asked him that the booking states only one day and he stated that everything is good and I should go ahead and book. I wanted to paste the screenshots of the messages only if Vrbo allowed me to. I checked in only to realize that the house has only one bedroom to use and all other beds were on the top floor in the open in the same space. The one bedroom had the smell of a dead rodent and so could not be used. I politely brought this up to the host and asked if we could use the bedrooms in the basement that were kept off limits which is only mentioned in the information booklet in the house( I had checked in very late at night so mentioned this the next day). The host offered me to either leave the same day or he offered a discount which I never asked for. I just had to spend another night so I opted to stay without asking him to give me the discount he had offered. He then started calling and messaging me stating that my booking was a scam and I should leave his house immediately. Checkout process is another story. Be ready to wash and dry all the towels before checkout at 10 AM. This host turned out to be a nightmare. People come to your house to relax and not to entertain your calls or to be stressed about washing the towels (4 at a time). Never again. Cannot add more due to word limit.

Yellowstone Vacation

Overall a decent place with a great proximity to Yellowstone’s west entrance. Clean cabin, host was responsive when asked questions. Price was about average for the area. A couple things not advertised in the listing, the cabin is close to a major highway and road noise is definitely present. The host left a note explaining they may occupy the basement during the stay for remodeling purposes. This was a little unsettling and did cause some sleepless nights. Likely would not return..

The reality is better than the photos. I love how organized and clean the property was. Not far from the West Entrance to Yellowstone, this was the perfect place to kick back after a day of sight seeing, hiking, and general adventuring.

Great little cabin close to West Yellowstone!

We loved this cabin! My husband and I brought our three sons ages 19, 16 and 12, as well as our oldest son’s girlfriend, and there was plenty of space for everyone! Super clean, good communication with the owner and easy access to West Yellowstone, Big Sky and Jackson. We are from the south, so I have to mention for my other southerners that they don’t have central A/C out west, but just open some windows and you’re good to go! Would definitely stay there again!

Convenient but away from the crowd

Overall nice place. Easy to get to and close enough to West Yellowstone and the west park entrance where it wasn’t a hassle. Everything was as advertised. Trying to figure out the light and fan switches was not super intuitive, but that’s a minor issue. One of the 2 couches probably needs to go unless you like hyper soft seating. Beds were very comfortable. Would stay again.

beautiful property

This is a really lovely property set up for a family to really enjoy themselves! It had a lovely open kitchen and living area so the whole family was together the entire time! There was a snafu with getting the front door code and the communication was delayed, but they more than were accommodating once we got everything figured out so it only impacted the communication rating for the stay - we would happily use this property again and likely will!

Perfect stay

We wanted a place close to Yellowstone that had a "homey" feel. This was PERFECT. Well stocked, great location, excellent views. Home cooked meals every night, got up early every day to tour the park. After each long day, this place was so relaxing. The "jacuzzi" tubs were something we looked forward to!

Amazing

The pictures don't do the proprty justice. The inside is just as amazing as the views outside. We were all comfortable and alot of space. We were a close enough drive between the parks and no issues. Our 15 yr old granddaughter and her friend got to see a different part of the country which we will always be thankful for. Contact with the owners was fast. If you have this opportunity, take it. You will not be disappointed.

Great property for families

This property was exactly as expected from the description. It was comfortable and well stocked for all of our needs. It was close enough to Yellowstone to easily go back and forth. My only suggestion is that the address on the property itself be lit up somehow. We arrived in the dark and boy was it dark! Once we knew where the cabin was located this didn’t matter though. We enjoyed a wonderful stay!

About the host

Hosted by Barry & Sue Bean

Host profile image
We live in Layton Utah but love to spend our time in Island Park and love the mountains so enjoy sharing our home with you. We are retired military and were stationed in SoCal/San Diego.

Why they chose this property

We love the area and especially the accessibility of this cabin with the great views and quiet. Our favorite thing to do is just relax and enjoy the peace with the great view. Visiting the local attractions are a one of a kind tour. No place like Yellowstone for outdoor life and wildlife viewing.

What makes this property unique

Sitting on the deck with a cup of cocoa/coffee watching the sun illuminate the hills across the valley is just. . .serene. Watching the wildlife cross the valley floor is wonderful and somehow just right. The neighbors are great and willing to help and stop for a cup.
