Other Things to Note:

What to bring with you!- You're coming to a wilderness area to vacation and if you plan your vacation well you will have a positive experience. In the summertime May and through the middle of June can tend to be cooler early morning and toward the evening hours. Make sure to bring a jacket and long pants you can change into when needed. Bring a pair of tie up shoes to protect your feet. Shoes likes flip flops or sandals will not protect your feet when you are out exploring. Layering your clothing is a good idea and then if your too warm you can take off clothing as needed. At least this way when departing your cabin early morning to go site seeing you will have what you need with you. July and August are pretty warm and you should still bring a light jacket. The rest of the year you will want to bring heavier jackets and long underwear, snow suits etc. You will need to bring your private toiletries like bar soap and shampoo as we do not provide this for you. Cabins are equipped with everything else you should need except food of course. Snow tires and four-wheel-drive are recommended for traveling in Eastern Idaho during the winter. Road conditions can change quickly, and even well-traveled highways are occasionally closed by blizzards or high winds. Before setting out, check the Transportation Department's website or call 511 for an automated, up-to-the-minute status of all thoroughfares. Wise motorists will also carry emergency gear (shovel, snack bars, water, blankets) in their vehicles to be ready for any contingency. Coming Snowmobiling? A reminder to anyone traveling back country areas whether skiing, snowmobiling or hiking: Remember the time of year, exercising all back country cautions. Take necessary equipment and survival gear when venturing into the back country. If you have a GPS and cell phone, be sure to take them with you, but do not rely on them entirely for a safe rescue if you find yourself in trouble or stranded. Cell phones should be kept close to your body & turned off to keep the battery full, so it's not searching for a signal & running the battery down. Avalanche Transceivers and equipment, knowing what the avalanche conditions are, and knowing skills to save lives are a must for everyone entering back country riding or traveling. Plan ahead. Make sure you know the area you are going into before heading into it. If you find yourself in trouble, stop, take a look around you, and do not go any further. The further you go the more complicated and dangerous it is to get yourself to safety, also making rescue efforts more difficult and dangerous. Make mental notes in relation to any physical features or landmarks that would assist in your rescue. Make a plan, stick to your plan, narrow the riding area, & most of all...let someone know WHERE you are planning to go!

If guests have any questions or concerns during their stay, Please call or text, we do not monitor Airbnb messages late in the evening or early morning.

Great rustic decor in the room. There is a nice loop of a road to walk your dog on. It's a quiet area- most guests are gone all day to Yellowstone Park. It is convenient to the Mack's Inn area.

The cabin was perfect for our weekend getaway to Yellowstone. It was clean and had everything we needed. It was perfect for our dog, too, with lots of room outside to roam and a place for a walk. The kitchen heater did not work during our stay and the bedroom heater wouldn’t come on our second evening there. We will start again!

Great property for Yellowstone stay

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Bear Cave #1. We spent long days at Yellowstone national park, and it was nice to come back to a comfortable condo. We cook our breakfast and dinner, so having a fully stocked kitchen sold us on staying here. Highly recommend staying here to others.

Bear Cabin Experience

The cabin is on the small side but enough for two people. It's true to the pictures and to the description. I love the pine wood. I wish the location was closer to Yellowstone National Park. It is a 30 minutes drive to the entrance of YNP. Overall, our stay was pleasant.

Rustic Decor Bear Cave

This property was very nicely decorated - bear pictures, great looking bedding, etc. The property has a gravel road around the interior which is good to walk your dog on (about a 15 minute walk). There are a few other small individual rental cabins on the property but it is still a very quiet place to stay. We were there for a week and saw very few people- felt like we had the place to ourselves. You can rent horses just down the street (five minutes away).

Small cabin

I knew it would be small but I guess too small for me and my husband but it was cute. We tried to contact the owner about what to do with the garbage because the bin was not where it was supposed to be so unfortunately we had to leave our garbage inside. I tried twice to contact the owners with no call back.

Our stay was AWESOME! The cabin was perfect for us two and our dog. Only had two issues, the Storm door slams shut and the left burner on the gas grill did not work. We were still able to grill 2 ribeyes on the right side. We would definitely stay here again.

Nice

Very clean and well stocked. Easy to find. We booked here for our visit to Yellowstone. It is a little far. The area is not much to look at but nice for the price.

Cozy, quiet and clean

Very nice, with everything we needed. Seamless check in through vrbo, never even saw property management while we were there. Wish the place was closer to Yellowstone but it was as advertised as about 30 minutes or so. Lots of outdoor family activities available, state park resort atmosphere.
