A great stay near the Buffalo River.

Warm and cozy, even on a late September rainy day. Just feet from a trail that you can walk for miles. The river and meadows are just a short distance, full of wildlife, deer, bear and moose although all we saw were cows.

Beds weren't great, location was

We stayed here for 6 nights with my family of 5. The good: 1. It is close to Yellowstone, Island Park Reservoir, Henry's Lake, and Hebgen Lake. 2. Cabin has lots of books, DVDs, and the kitchen is well stocked. 3. Quiet subdivision with some trees for privacy and walking distance to the Buffalo River. The bad: 1. Mattresses are old and we all had trouble sleeping. Many mornings we woke up stiff and sore. Even my high school son. We did everything we could to make the beds tolerable adding blankets, pillows, etc. Nothing helped. 2. The key pad and front door locks are a nightmare. It took several minutes each day to lock/unlock the doors. The keys just fall out of the lockbox and one day they fell under the porch. That was fun climbing under there to retrieve them. PLEASE get a better lockbox and upgrade the door locks. 3. The house is pretty old and not made very well. When someone is on the second floor it is very loud and squeaky. 4. There is too much furniture for the space. The couch has recliners but you can't put them out without moving the coffee table, which then takes up most of the living space. 5. The bathroom was not clean. There was orange mold in the shower. Overall, a good place to stay, just not sure we would go back because of the lack of sleep.

Ok but needs better cleaning and updating

Cute cabin. When I booked this it said there was a dishwasher and washer. As time went on they both were taken off as apparently broken. The day before we were advised of a "possible" water contamination. Upon checking into it more they didn't feel our cabin was an issue but we should use caution with drinking and teeth brushing. We used bottled water for drinking and brushing. According to the guest book, someone checked out the day we arrived. There was a good amount of dust in the cabin. In the upstairs where our teenage grandchildren stayed there was enough dust to see your finger swipes. With COVID still happening and the new variant getting worse, it was a bit unsettling. With the dishwasher not working I made sure to hand wash any dishes we used prior to using them. As far as the cabin itself went, we loved the area and layout of the cabin. However given we are still in pandemic mode, I would have liked clean bedspreads and pillows. When we departed all we were asked to do was strip the sheets. I'm "guessing" that means the bed spreads would not be washed??? The many decorative pillows on the beds did not look clean. Other than that we loved our stay! Hopefully these suggestions will help with future stays.

Buffalo River R&R!

Our stay was perfect! From the location to the cabin itself- from the contents of the kitchen to the decor- we found ourselves a "home away from home!" My only comment is that prior to arrival I had asked about the grill and was told that it was a gas grill and propane would be provided. Upon arrival, we found that the grill was charcoal. Just want you to know so you have the right info!

Out of the Hustle

This is a great alternative to West Yellowstone. If you like to be away from the hustle and bustle of a gateway city to Yellowstone this is a great cabin. About 30 minutes from the west entrance to Yellowstone for us it was PERFECT! The cabin was wonderful. Just about anything we needed was there. It's super quiet, just the way I like it. We ate at Connie's one night and Lake Side Lodge a couple nights, both were good. My friend and I would both highly recommend this property.

Very nice Island Park stay

Great location and convenient for Island Park activities. Some OHV traffic close by, but not intrusive. Very happy with the cabin, only complaints are that the washer/dryer was out of order and the dishwasher didn’t work properly (perhaps hard water issues?). These are advertised for the property which is why I dropped the rating a bit.

Perfect trip

This cabin is in a great location close to a lot of activities but it is out in the trees enough to feel like you have a private mountain cabin. It was spacious enough for our family of 6 (kids ranging from 7-14) and included everything we needed for an easy trip (stocked kitchen, bathroom, bedding) All we needed was food, clothes, and toiletries. Cabin was clean and ready for our arrival and when I had a question about our arrival I got a quick reply to my text. Great first experience using Vrbo. Thanks!
