About this property

Family Cabin Near Yellowstone National Park

Enjoy a fun family cabin near the West entrance to Yellowstone National Part and the fun town of West Yellowstone.
Perfect for family reunions or a fun get away with family and friends. The cabin is on a wooded acre of land for fun outside play.

The cabin has 4 bedrooms with either a queen or double bed in each. The 5th bedroom is a large loft that has 5 single beds along with a double bed. We have found that kids love to stay together in the loft and can be heard giggling and talking for hours. We have a pack and play along with a highchair in case you are traveling with an infant.

If you plan on cooking at the cabin, the kitchen is fully stocked with pots, pans, cooking utensils, eating utensils and place settings for 14. There are small appliances for you to use including, crock pots (large and small), hand mixer, blender, griddle, coffee maker and toaster in addition to a propane grill on the front deck. The cupboards have basic cooking supplies such as sugar, flour, salt baking soda and a variety of spices.

There is a game closet filled with games, puzzles, movies and children's toys in case of inclement weather or if you chose to spend a day around the cabin. The washer and Dryer are there for your use and detergent is provided along with an ironing board and iron.

You will have the entire cabin to yourselves when you book this property including the fun outdoor amenities. The fire pit is available for your use. Firewood is not provided but can be purchased locally. There is a picnic area with outdoor seating including a porch swing.

There are many squirrels and chipmunks at the cabin who love to eat peanuts. We will leave you a jar of peanuts in shells you can put along the top railing of the front porch. It is fun to watch them through the big windows as they enjoy a tasty treat. There are also birds of many varieties in Island Park. We have bird feeders hanging in the trees in front of the cabin. There are bird books to use as a reference so you can identify the different species that you see. From time to time we have seen fox, deer, antelope, Elk and occasionally a moose wonder by.

The cabin is in a wonderful location. The trout fishing on Henry's lake is some of the best in the world. Twenty miles to the North is the West entrance to Yellowstone National Park and the fun town of West Yellowstone where you can enjoy the Yellowstone Museum, IMAX theater, tons of souvenir shopping, and even take in a show at the Play-Mill Theater. Just 10 miles to the South is Mack's Inn where you can float the river or go to Big Springs where you can see the springs at the head of the snake river and view huge trout in crystal clear water. If you choose to eat out there are many good restaurants in both Island park and West Yellowstone.

There is no public transportation in the Island Park/West Yellowstone area. Personal vehicles are the best way to get around. Many people enjoy boating, 4-wheeling, hiking trails and even biking through the national parks. There are many rental shops in the area where you can rent everything from canoes and boats to ATV's and bikes.

Perfect!!
The cabin was perfect for our group of 9! The owners were so accommodating. The cabin had everything we needed plus some. The backyard was very peaceful. A quick 20 minute drive to West Yellowstone. It’s the perfect distance for feeling like you are secluded in the woods, but also not too far from restaurants, shops, and other activities. Would highly recommend!!

Yellowstone Family Vacation
The property was set up so well! Outdoor games, fire pit, games and blankets inside, and a well organized binder to answer any questions you might have. Trish was friendly and informative- a great host! It is a beautiful location. The kids loved exploring the property. And it was a great home base for our week in Yellowstone! Highly recommend!

Nice place, 30-minutes from West Yellowstone NP entrance.
My grandchildren loved this cabin in the woods! I wish it’d been 15-20 min. closer to the West Yellowstone entrance. It took nearly 25-30 min. driving time to get to the entrance to the Park.

Motorcycling Michiganders
Rode from Michigan on motorcycles with friends and needed a home base near Yellowstone. LOVED it! Great cabin for our group. Plenty of rooms and beds. We enjoyed making breakfasts and suppers in the fully stocked kitchen! Felt very relaxed after our long rides on the couches and recliners. It’ll probably be awhile til we’re out that way again but this cabin will be our first call!

About the host

Hosted by Tricia Snyder

Host profile image
I have been a RN for 35 years (Yikes! I'm old). I have worked mostly in Labor and Delivery. I am currently a clinical educator For Maternal Fetal Services. I have been married to my wonderful husband Kevin for 35 year! (I guess we are both old!). We have four children who are all grown and left us empty nesters!

Why they chose this property

My father built the Cabin in 1963! In the mid 70's he added an addition to the A-frame making it a modified A style. Although it is older than I am, it has remained in our family all these years and has been very loved and well cared for. My husband and I took over ownership after both my parents passed. Little by little we have updated and made improvements. The cabin recently got a new roof, new carpet, new mattresses, living room furniture and new kitchen equipment. The kitchen table is quite unique. My father built it in our garage out of 2X4's standing on end and then sanded down the rounded edges. It's super heavy and has remained in great shape along with having great personal meaning. We hope you love the cabin as much as we do!
