About this property

Gateway To Yellowstone Park And Outdoor Adventure. FREE internet and cleaning.

Escape to the Cozy Cabin, a charming retreat nestled on over half an acre of treed land, offering ample parking for your cars, trailers, ATVs, and snowmobiles. Step inside through the spacious mudroom, where you can shed your adventure gear and utilize the full-size washer and dryer.

The well-appointed kitchen, featuring a new microwave and induction range with oven/air fryer combo (updated for the 2022 season), flows into the open living and dining area. Unwind on the plush sofa, wrapped in a cozy blanket, as you enjoy the warmth of the fireplace or watch a movie.

The Cozy Cabin comfortably sleeps up to 10 guests across four bedrooms, each equipped with its own heater for personalized comfort. Two bedrooms are conveniently located off the living room, while two more await upstairs. Fresh linens adorn the beds, with spares available in the first-floor linen closet. One upstairs bedroom opens onto a large covered porch with a table and benches, perfect for enjoying the serene surroundings. The other, dubbed the "Cub's Den," delights kids with two bunk beds, a TV, and a DVD player—granting you some well-deserved peace and quiet. A fold-out bed in the living room sofa provides additional sleeping space.

Stay connected with complimentary high-speed internet (100+ Mbps). Two bathrooms, one fully remodeled for the 2021 season, offer showers, toilets, and sinks, stocked with fresh towels—extras are available in the linen closet. The fully equipped kitchen includes cooking essentials and select spices, while a propane BBQ grill awaits outside. Gather around the fire pit, encircled by trees and log benches, for memorable evenings under the stars (just bring your own firewood and food).

Adventure beckons beyond the doorstep. The West Entrance to Yellowstone National Park is a scenic 30-minute drive away. Ride ATVs or snowmobiles directly from the driveway, embarking on journeys of any length—even over Two Top Mountain to West Yellowstone, Montana. Fishing, boating, kayaking, and canoeing are just minutes away, with several restaurants and a grocery store in town for convenience or a night of "Eating Out"—our favorite recipe!

Explore boundless outdoor pursuits, all within a short drive from the Cozy Cabin, your perfect home base for an unforgettable getaway. Check out our YouTube channel for a closer look: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC3ED0-3WhM3dRMTITiVD3RA

Cabin in the Woods

Cozy Family Stay

We stayed here so that our young kids would have room to run around and have their own room, as well as a kitchen and outdoor space. It was the perfect spot! The kids absolutely loved the bunk bed room (which was full of toys they were so excited to play with.) The kitchen was very well stocked with any utensils and pans you’d need, and the grill and fire pit outside made it a great place to hang out! The beds were very comfortable, as well.

Beautiful location, a little small

While there are 4 bedrooms, there are only 3 full size beds and the other is a bunk room. We had two couples and two singles, and one had to sleep in the bottom bed of a bunk, which was very small. Other than that, we loved our stay. The main living area is great for eating, board games, and movies, and the location is very nice and pretty.

Idaho Fun

Property well located for visiting Yellowstone (our primary purpose) and fishing. House was clean except for trash from previous renters that was not removed. Also grill was dirty. House is furnished well and is close to a good market, that except for early in the week was very well stocked. It is a comfortable cabin and I would definitely stay there again. Additionally, the owners were great to work and communicate with.

Perfect Cozy Cabin

This cabin is in a quiet and cozy forest neighborhood, with lots of privacy and great outdoor space! Close to Yellowstone, and the town of Island Park which has mostly everything you will need for a stay. The house was well stocked and very clean, and we liked the individual touches that went into decorating each of the rooms!

A Beautiful Stay in the Mountains by Yellowstone

We booked this cabin because of its closeness to Yellowstone National Park. It was clean, comfortable, and nestled in a forest. Having two bathrooms helped as we had 8 people staying. We lit a campfire with the firewood that was neatly stacked by the owners. It was the perfect end to our spectacular visit to Yellowstone. We would definitely stay there, again.

About the host

Hosted by Jamie & Mike Schiltknecht

Host profile image
We are a family of three, live in rural Montana and enjoy outdoor activities all year long. Unfortunately we have full time jobs and don't get to enjoy our Cabin as much as we would like.

Why they chose this property

The Cozy Cabin is located on a short dead end street that is not on the main highway, but not far from it, there is hardly any traffic and it feels like you're away from it all. But you're still close to it all. As snowmobilers it allows us to access trails right from the cabin, we don't have to load up and trailer out, we just get on the snowmobile right here and go up or down the road to access trails and enjoy the best Snowmobiling with hundreds of miles of trails. We like to go ice fishing and do full moon snowshoe walks. We usually spent time here in the winter when we can get away.

What makes this property unique

Nicely decorated cabin with each bedroom decorated unique. This is not a commercial unit, this is our Cozy Cabin and it will make you feel like your are at the "Cozy Cabin". And with 3 decks around the cabin, each with a table, and a fire pit in the front yard, you can choose a different place for dinner every day. The cabin is located on a dead end road and has hardly any traffic at all. So no noise, and kid's can play outdoors. We have free high speed internet 100+Mbps available for you. Also we do not charge a cleaning fee! And we only ask you to remove garbage in excess of 2 bags. Most other rentals will charge a fee and ask you to remove garbage from the property. The State of Idaho requires VRBO to collect the applicable sales and lodging taxes. Also we are registered with the County and comply with all requirements for transient rental and pass the required inspections every other year without any issues.
