A Perfect Getaway Near Yellowstone!

We had an incredible stay at couldn’t have asked for a better experience. From the moment we arrived, everything exceeded our expectations. The cabin was immaculate—clean, spacious, and beautifully designed both inside and out. It had a warm, cozy atmosphere that made us feel right at home.It was extremely well stocked with everything we needed—kitchen essentials, comfortable linens, and even thoughtful extras that made our stay more enjoyable and convenient.One of the biggest highlights was the host. Communication was excellent throughout, and they truly went above and beyond to make sure we had a memorable trip. They provided fantastic recommendations for local restaurants, along with perfectly planned routes that helped us make the most of our time in the park without feeling rushed.We couldn’t recommend this place more—it was the perfect home base for exploring Yellowstone and surrounding areas. We’re already dreaming about coming back!

Perfection

I cannot say enough good things about this cabin! Hands down the most well equipped kitchen in a VRBO I've ever stayed in. The cabin is wonderfully furnished and comfy with a cabin feel you'd expect in this area. Owners are quick to respond to any questions or concerns you might have. It's close to the West Entrance of Yellowstone and the shopping/ restaurant selection is decent in West Yellowstone, the Wild West Pizzaria and Saloon was our favorite hands down.

Yellowstone Getaway

Our group of six had a very comfortable and cozy stay at Aspen Getaway! Communication with the hosts was great, check in was very easy, and the property was easy to find. 20 mins from Yellowstone West Entrance and downtown West Yellowstone. The beds were very comfortable and there was plenty of dinner ware for all. We would come back and stay in a heartbeat!

Great place to stay.

Even, though this was a great get away, it was still centrally located to Yellowstone, Grand Tetons, the Mesa Scenic Byway, and Henry Forks and Snake River. The accommodations were just right, upgraded and renovated kitchen with everything you might need. Would live to come back.

We stayed here for our three day visit to the Yellowstone National Park. It was an easy drive to the park. With all the rooms and space available, the home is perfect for a family vacation. Communication with the owner was excellent.

About Gary and ChaRee Preston - Property Manager
ChaRee has managed this property for years and takes great pride in making sure your visit is special.

About Greg and Lisa McAlister - Owners
We purchased this home in September 2017. Greg grew up in Texas but I grew up in Gardiner, MT (the north entrance of the park). Buying this wonderful home in Island Park is almost coming home for me! We currently live in the central valley of California and look forward to lots of great summer adventures in Island Park.

Why they chose this property

Besides the house itself, we love the abundance of trails in the area, closeness to Henry's Lake and are over the moon to be so close to Yellowstone. No matter where I have travelled, my heart has always belonged to Yellowstone and Greg has grown to feel the same.
