About this property

Porch lined cabin nestled in the Pines for lazy summer days

Welcome to our favorite summer family destination! Visiting Island Park was an annual summer activity in our family growing up and we are happy to have the opportunity to share our love of this beautiful country with others. Our cabin is amid the most enjoyable parts of Island Park: feeding the fish at Big Springs and the friendly hike to Johnny Sack's Cabin; floating the Henry's Fork (Big Springs) down to Mack's Inn; drives up to Sawtell Peak to view the surrounding area, playing by the reservoir, 4-wheel riding the trails; fishing on Henry's Lake; and close proximity to West Yellowstone (25 miles), Quake Lake (38 miles), Virginia City (82 miles), Mesa Falls (27 miles). The possibilities are endless!

When you drive up to our cabin, it's set back from the road and is nestled in the pine trees. You will first notice the covered front porch that lets you enjoy the peaceful beauty of the area. We have a campfire, swings, and picnic table that can all be viewed from the porch. For those of you that want to grill outside there is a bbq grill (please do not leave unattended). You'll enter into an open floor plan kitchen, dining area, and spacious living room. Your eyes will be immediately drawn to our cozy propane fireplace and unique barn wood lined wall. This cabin sleeps 6 with 2 queen beds and option of 1 queen hide-a-bed or aero-bed queen blow up air mattress that will maintain its air if left plugged in at night.

Kitchen: The kitchen is equipped with all of the necessary appliances and utensils for you to prepare your meals. We have everything from fridge, oven, microwave, coffee maker, pots, pans, casserole dishes, crockpot, toaster, electric griddle, blender, utensils, cups, mugs, cutting boards, knifes, dish towels, heat pads... Our only complaint is that dishes have to be hand washed with provided dish soap.

Living Room: The living room has a love seat with foot rest, recliner, hide-a-bed couch, over stuffed chair and foot rest, family made redwood coffee table, 2 pine end tables, 48 inch smart tv with YouTube TV or login to any of your streaming subscriptions (NO cable or satellite), and entertainment stand with Blu-ray player and bluetooth stereo to play your own tunes through while playing a fun game of cards. Ceiling mounted fan helps circulate the cool air provided by the outside temperature. There is No Air-conditioning!!!

From the living room into the hallway is where you will find 1 full bathroom, 1 bedroom, and 1 master bedroom with 1/2 bath and laundry.
Full Bathroom: This bathroom contains a large vanity with plenty of room to store your toiletries, an additional stand with storage, and wall mount for easy access to our clean, white, soft, plump towels. A full walk in shower with built in seat was recently added.

Bedroom: This bedroom is beautifully lined with one pine covered wall that matches the pine headrest, pine night stand, and pine dresser. The queen bed has soft white sheets, one fleece blanket, and comforter to match all temperature levels. Two pillows are provided. This bedroom has two small screen covered windows that help circulate the air when the ceiling fan is going.

Master Bedroom: This bedroom is also beautifully lined with one pine covered wall that matches the pine bed frame, night stands, dresser, and armoire (inside is one queen aero-bed blow-up mattress to use as a alternative to the hide-a-bed. It will maintain its air if left plugged in at night). The queen bed is covered with soft white sheets, fleece blanket, and quilt. Two pillows are provided. There's also two screen lined windows and ceiling fan. There's a large spacious closet, rocking chair, and ironing board with iron. The 1/2 bath is also supplied with the same soft, plush towels. Inside the bathroom partition is the stacking washer and dryer.

Additional Things Provided: Bedding is provided for the queen hide-a-bed or air mattress (sheets, fleece blanket, comforter, 2 pillows).

Peaceful
The cabin was beautiful, very clean and had everything needed to relax. Kitchen included everything needed to prepare food. Host was responsive and accomodating. Cabin was in a nice location and was near store and a coypke of restaurants as well as Big Springs. Two new cabins are being built on either side of the cabin, however there were no disturbances from the construction during our stay. Accuracy of listing rating a little lower as the photos of the listing do not indicate how close the cabins under construction are. Once the new cabins are complete, the listed cabin will not be quite as private as shown in the picture. We thouroughly enjoyed our time at the cabin and could not have asked for a more beautiful place.

Excellent cabin in Excellent Location
John was super responsive with our one and only issue (WiFi password), and the cabin is exactly as described. As always IP was exceptional, but this time was even more relaxing than past experiences thanks to the Balmer family cabin and all of the amenities! Thanks so much John.
