About this property

Beautiful cabin nestled in the whispering Aspens of Island Park, Idaho. 5 STAR!

We're excited for summer, 2026! We've added a beautiful new cedar pergola off the back of the lodge, with table and chairs for you to enjoy the quiet and serenity of the wooded back yard. Beautiful, serene, wooded, private area, all for your enjoyment ! The property is located at 4787 Pinon Street, just off Highway 20, West on Redrock Road, 1/4 mile, then turn south on Pinon Street, 1st home on your right, in the Aspen Ridge Subdivision, only 17 miles from Yellowstone National Park! The main floor has a ping pong table, foosball table, big screen TV with Dish Network with Prime and Netflix. Just outside the sliding glass door is where the forest begins. Upstairs off the main bedroom you can sit outside on the porch and enjoy a cookie and cup of coffee surrounded by the beauty of nature. Enjoy an evening outside at the fire pit cooking hot dogs and roasting marshmallows. A small fridge, and a large, microwave oven, toaster/convection oven, hot plate, coffee pot and an outdoor bar-b-q, are all provided for your use in the main level kitchenette . Upstairs you will find 2 bedrooms, one with a queen bed, and the other with a queen and a king bed. On this floor is also the bathroom with a walk-in shower. *** Not a shared rental, all of this is included in your stay at the lodge.

Guided fly fishing trips can be arranged through the property owner, my son and I guide for Eagle Ridge Ranch. Private waters or the famed ‘Henrys Lake’ are close by if a guided fly fishing trip is on your agenda. Call 505-250-7078 to book a fly fishing trip to Henrys Lake or private waters. We specialize in teaching new fly fishers, and have all the gear ready for your use.

“Moose is Loose Lodge” t-shirts, caps, hoodies, stocking caps and jackets are for sale at the lodge.

All guests staying at the lodge are given special discounts on beautiful wildlife paintings that are placed on the walls of the lodge. Tamara, your host, is an accomplished artist that shares her art throughout the lodge.

We take an extraordinary effort to make sure your stay at our lodge is an experience of a lifetime. From the fresh baked cookies on arrival to the meticulous detail in cleanliness, we aim to please!

Four years of making the lodge available and 99.5% of our guests have given our lodge a 5 STAR RATING!

Book early! We filled all of our dates last year and hope to see you at the lodge this summer!

We had a wonderful stay at this unique and comfortable cabin. The space was originally the owner's "man cave," and it has been thoughtfully transformed into a warm and inviting guest retreat. The downstairs gathering area was perfect for relaxing after our adventures, with foosball, ping pong, a large dining table, a great TV/lounge space, and a beautiful porch to enjoy the surroundings.The beds were exceptionally comfortable, and the cabin was clean, well-equipped, and full of character. One of our favorite parts was seeing the personal touches throughout the space—photos and memorabilia celebrating a lifetime of fishing, hunting, and outdoor adventures.The hosts were incredibly kind and welcoming. They went above and beyond by bringing us bear spray for our Yellowstone trip and even took the time to show us a moose and her calf on the property. Their hospitality made our stay truly special.If you're looking for a comfortable, unique place to stay with wonderful hosts, we highly recommend it. We left with great memories and would gladly stay again.

About the host

Hosted by kevin or tamara skenandore

Host profile image
Tammy and I have owned property here on Aspen Ridge for 35 years. We own a larger cabin right next to our guest/rental cabin they we decided to put on the rental market. We are here to make your stay as restful and enjoyable as possible. The "Moose is Loose Lodge' is located in one of the most beautiful, peaceful, serene area's of Island Park, Idaho. Tam and I are retired and spend a lot of our time landscaping and beautifying our property. You will find the cabin extremely clean and well maintained for your enjoyment.

Why they chose this property

The property is located in the heart of some of the most beautiful country in Island Park, Idaho. If you have questions on where to hike, what to see in or out of the park, we have lived in this area for many years and would be glad to share some ideas for your biking, hiking, rafting, fishing and exploration.

Recently, three young adults from throughout the U.S. decided to meet up at the Moose is Loose Lodge and do some hiking in Yellowstone. They are frequent travelers, and they told us on several occasions that this was the best VRBO they had ever stayed at. On their review they said, "my friends and I couldn't stop talking about how great this VRBO is."

Many guests come with the idea of full days exploring in the park, only to find the lodge so comfortable and the area so fun and relaxing, that they tend to spend a significant time just hanging out at the lodge. Many of the comments in our guest book say this has been their favorite VRBO stay! Playing ping pong, watching movies with the family, roasting marshmallows or seeing the moose up close and personal are favorites!

Tam and I pride ourselves in having the lodge extremely clean and comfortable for our guests.

What makes this property unique

You'll love the swing out back to read a book or just enjoy nature. The moose frequent the cabin area quite often, and it's not uncommon to see them standing outside the back window, eating the fire weed. This isn't one of a bunch of small cabins for rent, you will find it a very peaceful, and relaxing environment.
