Notes:

- Some homes in Island Park area may experience slight water discoloration due to naturally occurring iron content in the well water, which is common for the region. The water is safe to use and consume; however, some guests prefer bottled water for drinking during their stay, which is a common personal preference.

- The cabin does not have air conditioning, but it stays naturally cool throughout the summer thanks to its shaded pine setting, thick cabin walls, and ceiling fans in the bedrooms and loft.

- Lazy Dawg Cabin is open seasonally from summer through fall and closes during the winter/spring months due to weather and road conditions.

We had all of the amenities (refrigerator, pots/pans, glasses, plates, silverware, WiFi, TV, soap, towels, washer/dryer, 1 1/2 bathrooms, etc.) and it was pet friendly. It was 30 minutes from the West entry to Yellowstone National Park, and we were able to visit the Grand Tetons after we departed. We could have used more coffee K-cups with three of four adults drinking coffee. I might mention that all sleeping rooms are upstairs and beware of wildlife; especially at night (two of our party saw a grizzly bear run across the road in front of their vehicle).

Beautiful Cabin home- Gateway to YellowstoneWe are a family of 5 who have traveled to visit more than 40 National Parks. We stayed here (for a week) in Island Park so that we could visit Yellowstone and the Grand Tetons with our 3 teenaged sons and our black lab dog. This beautiful cabin home sits inside the Targhee National Forest and is an ideal location for visiting Yellowstone (30 min. away). It is also a wonderful area for also visiting Henry Lake, fishing, boating, kayaking and hiking. It’s an outdoor jackpot area! One of favorite things was enjoying coffee on the raised deck and looking out into the forest and listening to the birds in the morning. This home was a serene, well-equipped home where a family can fix meals (kitchen well-stocked with pans, dishes, utensils, grill, Keurig coffee maker etc) and rest in beautifully furnished cabin. They have thought of all your needs. We were impressed with our host, Jake’s excellent communication, responsiveness and courtesy- some of the best we have encountered in all our cross country travels. We would stay here again without hesitation! The Kliber Family

Very clean and nice. Easy to find and easy to get in to. Was thoroughly enjoyed, a quiet place in the trees. Had our mother in law with us though and she (as a heavier person) did not enjoy the bed in the bedroom. Said she sunk in and it was too soft. And I'm glad as a pillow snob that I brought my own. Something to consider. We would stay in the same place next time we go without her.
