Cozy, inviting log cabin near U.S. 20 on the way to Island Park and Yellowstone

A two-story log cabin just off U.S. 20 on the way to Island Park, 30 minutes away, and Yellowstone, one hour away. Rexburg is a short 20 minute drive to the south.
This four-bedroom 1.5 bath cabin is surrounded by several acres of land and trees near the Fall River Canal & Chester Canal. Fishing is excellent in the Fall River and Snake River which are just minutes from the cabin. The St. Anthony Sand dunes are only 20 minutes from the cabin for those who want to stay and play on the dunes. There is space to park your trailer on the property. Bring your bikes and ride the back roads in the area and take in the view along the way.
Updated with modern conveniences with the feel of a cabin in the country. The cabin can accommodate up to eight people. The outdoor space includes two decks, deck furniture, and a rock fire pit near the house for an evening of relaxation by the fire. In this beautiful rural setting you will be able to sit out at night and gaze at the stars and enjoy the peace and serenity of this country setting.

Peaceful

I wish we could have stayed a little longer to utilize the firepit and outdoor area. It was nice to unplug for a bit with that back to basics home feel. No wifi, but excellent phone reception. A lot of history and character in the house. A few of our family members had a rough sleep in a few of the beds, but with recliners available it was great! Host had great communication and helped us when a few in our party had some struggles with the lock. Great host! Peaceful location

Great Little Cabin

This was a perfect place for our fishing trip. Location was great and the property is tucked away just enough, but convenient to the main highway for quick access. Would absolutely stay here again.

New family tradition!

This will be a new regular tradition for us! The proximity to so much within an hour's drive meant great day trips and a comfortable place to rest afterward. We loved it!

Intimate Homestead

A cute cabin right off the highway that had plenty of room for our family. We loved our stay and felt at home. There is only one bathroom with a shower so plan accordingly with multiple people. We’ll stay here again!

Fishing Trip

This property was in a great location for privacy and central for the river access of the Henry's Fork below Ashton. The history of the property was really cool!

Fantastic stay

This place is clean, comfortable, and perfect for our family. We enjoyed the 4 rooms, and the living space where we could relax and play games together. It’s well maintained and the cabin is quite impressive. It’s a beautiful little spot easily accessible off the highway, but far enough for some peace and quiet. The whole yard and area around was beautiful with the lilac hedge and giant trees. We will definitely make this place a yearly tradition. Thanks

Chester Cabin

Nice place. Would have been nice to know that there isn’t any WIFI and that TV only has dvd option. Also, it would be nice if there was a coffee machine and ice trays.

Fun weekend

The cabin was great! Cute, vintage and very quiet. Everything was just as advertised. It was a little farther from Yellowstone than we had hoped but that is on us for not figuring it out sooner.

The cabin had a very homey feel, the quilts were beautiful. Bright, clean, and cheery. Nice to have kitchenware and laundry access. The two toilets were not secured to the floor, both had wedges placed underneath which moved with usage of toilet.

Perfect Cabin for Family Fun

The cabin was very clean and comfortable for our family which included 6 adults. The four bedrooms allowed us space you spread out. Opening the windows and turning on the fans kept everyone cool and comfortable. Having a bath and a half was very convenient. We made our meals in the kitchen or on the grill outside. (Dave’s Jubilee Market in Ashton had everything we needed.). We enjoyed making s’mores in the fire pit. One of our daughters entertained us by playing the piano. Some enjoyed playing cards at kitchen table and everyone loved gazing at the stars in the night sky. We visited Mesa Falls, Yellowstone National Park, and the Grand Tetons. The drive was not far and we looked forward to going back to the cabin each day. Communication with the manager was easy and he quickly responded to my mesaages. We very much enjoyed reading the book about the history of this house and meeting two of the family members was an unexpected highlight of stay at the cabin. Although we live over 25 hours away our family is hoping to return to this cabin in a couple of years. We spent quality family time relaxing and enjoying each other’s company. I highly recommend you stay at the cabin.

About the host

Hosted by Gordon Howard

Host profile image
Our family was raised in this cabin and we are exited to share the cabin with others so they can experience the beautiful scenery and peaceful setting we enjoyed growing up there. Our dad and his family built the cabin themselves on the family farm that has been in the family for over 100 years.

Why they chose this property

The cabin sits in a quite, rural area with plenty of space between the cabin and the neighbors. From the cabin you have a beautiful view of the mountains, ranches and farms that are in the area. The Chester and Fall River Canal run through the property and often you will spot wildlife on the around the cabin.

What makes this property unique

This cabin is part of the family farm that has been in the family for 3 generations. The cabin was built by the Howard family and they were the only family to live in the cabin.
