Great place!

This cabin was perfect for our visit to Yellowstone. It's 20 minutes from the west entrance and is located in a quiet area. It's bigger than it looks in the pictures and had plenty of room for our group of 4 adults and 3 kids. It was clean, and the kitchen had all the pots/pans/gadgets we needed (though the toaster was pretty finicky). It reminded us a lot of our own cabin, so we felt right at home!

Great escape from reality

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this fabulous cabin surrounded by amazing landscapes and the beauty of nature. If you are looking for an escape from the stresses of everyday life, look no further! I especially enjoyed seeing the moose who visited the neighborhood one morning during our stay. We’ll absolutely be back!

Amazing trip

The cabin was comfortable, well outfitted, great water pressure and coyotes and owls at night. Rumors of a moose family which we stalked but didn't find. Loved it.

Beautiful cabin. Quiet area. Saw moose the very 1st morning right along side of the cabin. Beds were comfortable and we had everything we needed. If we could have changed anything it would be that it would be closer to West Yellowstone. We would definitely stay there again

Great Stay

Wonderful stay, great distance from Yellowstone. The house had everything we needed. Everything was very clean. We also enjoyed Marvin the Moose who would come visit the yard most night. It was so fun to sit on the porch and just watch Him. Would stay here again.

West Yellowstone vaca

The house was really nice and perfectly met the needs of our group. My dad enjoyed the porch and we all appreciated the serene and quiet area. You could hear some highway noises but I slept with any open window and was not disturbed.We made a few meals at the house and found the kitchen and grill user friendly with the exception of a cheese grater. LOL Kudos to the owners for a pleasant stay.

Childhood friend reunion

We were very happy with our stay as everything was just perfect… There was plenty of room for the 5 of us. It was very clean and cozy. Great instructions on how to get there and lock code entry was easy. We stayed for three nights, but wished we had many more…The beds were comfortable and the house was very well stocked. it was close enough to Yellowstone, but not too close. It was located in a great neighborhood that we would walk every morning and evening to wind down from our long days in Yellowstone. We were left with a nice goodie bag which was super thoughtful of our wonderful host. The dill pickle mustard was a big hit! Thank you for a fantastic stay.

West Yellowstone.

Property was perfect, the washer and dryer were a godsend for halfway through our trip. The cabin was perfect size and if there was something missing I’m not sure what. The only thing that might be improved was the lighting over the mirrors in the bathrooms., since there is no natural light in bathrooms. Distance from park wasn’t bad. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Very Charming Cabin

Very charming cabin. Very clean. Any questions with the manager were effortless and answered quickly. The quiet location gave us the perfect solitude we were seeking after our long days exploring the local areas and parks. We rode sxs and explored the area, explored Yellowstone, Grand Tetons etc. West Yellowstonenwas a quick drive away. Also loved the options that Island Park offered us just down the road like grocery, fuel and restaurants. The beds are very comfy and shower heads are AMAZING. Great location if you are looking for a place to unwind out of the hustle and bustle. I would definitely stay again.

Perfect stay for Yellowstone

Great property! Great location about 20 minutes from West Yellowstone. Very well stocked kitchen. House was perfect for our family of 6. Good communication from the hosts. My girls would have liked a mirror in the guest room with two beds (helpful when you have teen girls)! The bath towels, while "fluffy", tended to have a slight "musty" smell when they got damp...only noticeable for those in our group sensitive to smells; not that they weren't clean, just something that happens to towels overtime/with lots of use and it's probably time for replacements. Only issue we had was we had to be on the road very early on our checkout day... according to the check out policy, to avoid an extra fee, all the towels had to be fully laundered. So that meant no one could shower in the morning and we had to use paper towels for brushing teeth, cleaning up in the kitchen etc. in the morning. But all in all, we loved the place and would most definitely stay here again! Highly recommend!

About the host

Hosted by Shawna

Host profile image
We have been experiencing the Island Park and West Yellowstone area since the early 90s. Nikki & Bill enjoy fishing, boating, hunting, snowmobiling, hiking and x-country skiing. We love the area and all the recreational opportunities available right out your door!

Why they chose this property

We decided on Island Park due to the location and recreation potential. We live in central Montana and for a quick drive we can experience all the mountains have to offer. It is centrally located between family and friends making the location even more desirable. We also have friends who are full time residents Island Park and West Yellowstone who we visit and recreate with regularly. We finally decided to have a home to call our own when we are in the neighborhood.

What makes this property unique

This cabin is “Just Right” it is large enough to accommodate us and friends or family but not so large that we lose the cabin feeling. It includes all the comforts of home in a fantastic setting. The Aspen Ridge location is off of the main path so it is a great place to kick back after our day of recreating or catch the morning sun to plan the day ahead.
It is located close to all the fishing hot spots if you feel like wetting a fly, both Henry’s Fork and the Madison are close and fishing in Yellowstone Park is a hop skip and a jump away. When we lake fish, Henry’s lake or Hebgen Lake are both good options. The cabin is located in the Aspen Ridge Subdivision where the proximity to public lands access is fantastic. You can choose your sport by your mood in the morning. Perfect!
Bill and Nikki have chosen Moose Crossing Vacation Rentals to manage their cabin and ensure the happiness of their guests. Shawna and Rhonda are a small property management company and we take great pride in our rental cabins. We strive to make sure that the cabin is clean and comfortable for all of our guests. We appreciate you choosing our cabin for your vacation memories and hope that you arrive at a vacation cabin, but by the time you leave it feels like home.
