Family Yellowstone adventure

Perfect house in every way! Gave the young adult parents so many options. Staying up late to have volleyball and ping pong games! Not to far from the West entrance to Yellowstone. We would leave early to see the vast beauty of Yellowstone and even made It to the majestic Tetons. Bedroom accommodations nice w the bunk room and the large suite over the garage. Lastly, Sonia the owner could not have been any more helpful. My daughter and SIL were traveling cross country for their next military post so this was the perfect spot to take a break before continuing to WA. Thank you for the memories! ❤️

Perfect location for YNP & Tetons

We absolutely loved the Papa Bear Cabin! Our group ranged in ages from 19.5 to 50 and all had a great time. The young adults utilized the volleyball area and ping pong while the older adults relaxed in the fabulous hot tub under the almost full moon. The home has everything you need to be comfortable and if you have little ones they have items for them too! We visited Yellowstone National Park twice, the Tetons, golf in Big Sky, horseback riding with Double P and then again with Eagle View Range (just up the road), rented RTV with Island Park Rentals, ate at Angler’s Inn, got drinks from Soda Co (just up the main road) many times and still had plenty we could do if we stayed longer. We saw four moose in Island Park and a grizzly in YNP. This home is the perfect location! Our host was wonderful! She is quick to respond and so very helpful!! Thank you for making our son’s graduation trip wonderful!

Awesome Yellowstone Vacation

Great trip. West Yellowstone in about 30 Minutes and to the Grand Loop in an hour. Horse stable for trail rides are right down the road. Fishing close by in the lake and nearby rivers. Great home with plenty of room and activities. Really a great spot!

upscale cabin living

Our family had a great time staying at this homey but upscale cabin. The views, the closeness to Yellowstone, the amenities of the home all provided the perfect family getaway. I would add Stoddard Mill Pond to the list of possible places to visit as a kids fishing pond. It was close and free.

Great location!

The hostess has provided us with the incorrect code to get through the gate. We didn't get a reply to our plea for help until our stay was over. We had to get the code from another resident after being stuck for a while. Hostess was apologetic, but was unavailable, nonetheless.

So much room for annual guys trip!

The property was amazing! It was a great space to come back and relax in after a long day in the snow. Clean, very comfortable. The host was easy to communicate with, The house is farther from town than we’ve ever stayed, but peaceful and so much better than a hotel! Thank you so much!

Annual Winter Trip

Decide to try Island Park for our annual winter getaway with our friends. The house was as advertised and we had plenty of room for games and puzzles and lots of snow for toys. The accessory unit above the garage was a bonus and was perfect for the teen girls. Would stay here again!

Winter Wonderland!

"Luxury Cabin" may be an understatement; we visited the area in December during the arctic blast that hit the US, getting down to -40º one night, the area lost power for 2hrs, but the cabin is so well built we never felt cold. Our group had nine adults, and two couples brought their kids, four total, ages 9-14. We never felt cramped, there is plenty of space if you want privacy, and common areas are large enough for everyone to gather. Even though the winter storm hampered some of our plans to ride snowmobiles in the area, we still had a great time playing ping-pong tournaments in the heated garage, board games, and puzzles; it was the perfect chance for friends to catch up. We also made it over to Yellowstone. A few folks had been to Yellowstone before, and all of them said it was like visiting a different park, a "winter wonderland." I can't say enough about how functional and beautiful this cabin is; they even had Christmas lights up! I gave 5 stars on all aspects of this property; I wish I could give more for "communication" Sonia was on top of everything and very responsive at crazy hours of the night. Thank you for a lifetime of memories! We will be back! James

Gorgeous house!

Our two families had a wonderful stay. The house is super comfortable, clean, and relaxing! The main sitting area and kitchen are large enough for multiple families to stretch out. We had a small communication issue with an incorrect gate code at the very beginning, but all got worked out OK. Ping-pong and foosball balls were gone, which was disappointing for the kids. However, we made great use of the tetherball, spa, and barbecue which were all great. As others have said, the kitchen was very well equipped, with plenty of cookware, utensils, and dishware. The neighborhood is well spread out between houses and remarkably quiet. This is definitely a place to get away from the hustle and bustle of city or suburban life. We would stay here again.

Stay in Island Park

This was a wonderful home and property. The extra space in the garage gave the older children their own area. The views bring a sense of peace. My only wish is that it was a bit closer to the west gait of Yellowstone as that was the goal of our trip, but it is not a deal breaker.

Cramer family vacation

We had an excellent family trip. We would make 3 small suggestions. we only found one dishcloth for doing dishes, dinner plates would not fit in the dishwasher (need smaller ones) and dishwasher pull outs didn't stay in when open. Also, some issues with windows and screens. we couldn't open them because of no screens and a couple of windows didn't stay open. i hope we left things as we found them, we had a wonderful vacation.

Family Vacation to Yellowstone NP

We had Grandma, Grandpa, their 4 adult children and 5 grandsons (ages 9 to15). This property provided everything we could have hoped for. We enjoyed the hot tub, fire pit, gas grill, and of course the full kitchen. I could go on and on, but you get the idea... everything we could have wished for was provided. Thank you

Very Pretty Cabin and scenery

With the exception of the long (2miles) very rough gravel road, the house was very nice. Any and all amenities were available, we did have some issues which I will discuss with the Host privately. But over all a great experience. Conveniently located between Yellowstone and Grand Teton, the Mesa Falls are well worth the trip. The biggest concern with the house is conversations in kitchen are amplified the bedrooms above (just FYI) and no closet for the master bedroom. Overall, would stay there again if opportunity developed..

Perfect Location

This place has beautiful views of the mountains and flatlands and was perfect for our group. We had adults ranging from 19-41 as well as a couple smaller kids (7&10) and a teenager. The house provided enough space (and restrooms) to allow the privacy and showers needed for that many people. The kitchen and pantry are one of the most well equipped that I’ve seen in any VRBO. We also used the tether ball often with the younger kids. The hot tub and volley ball court are also exclusive to the property. We would have used them more but we spent most of our time in Yellowstone and the Tetons. The property is located fairly close to both parks. There are also several other smaller attractions around the property that are very worth while. The road is very long and gravel, but not difficult at all, any vehicle should be able to drive it. We saw an elk and several pronghorn from our cabin windows during our stay. The views are expansive and sunrises and sunsets are unforgettable. We would definitely book here again and would definitely recommend a stay here.
