Gateway to Everything! Island Park / Yellowstone / Tetons / Dunes / Fishing

Gateway to Island Park and Yellowstone — with a quieter base and typically easier winter driving than deeper into Island Park. This entire 4-bedroom, 3-bath home sleeps 12 on about 5 acres (1 acre manicured).
You’re on the Island Park Caldera / North Snake River Valley corridor: fish the Henrys Fork, explore Mesa Falls, and day-trip into Yellowstone and Grand Targhee. This is a drive-to getaway stay with room to spread out — not a walk-to-the-strip cabin.
THE SPACE
• Entire home · 4 bedrooms · 3 bathrooms · sleeps 12
• About 5 acres with outdoor play space
• Master suite with balcony and jetted tub
• Mountain, lake, and Snake River Valley views

• Open kitchen with new appliances and dining for 10
• Living room with leather couch, sectional, stone fireplace, and vaulted ceilings

Great base for Yellowstone adventure

We enjoyed our stay here. Host was very responsive and helpful, and the house had plenty of room and a good layout for our large family to stay. It's about 45 minutes to West Yellowstone, and we spent several days enjoying the forest, animals and attractions nearby. Check in and check out were simple and easy, and we had a great time. Would 100% recommend!

Amazing winter getaway!

This was an incredible family-friendly winter wonderland! The house was spacious but also cozy and inviting. The hosts respond quickly to questions and check-in was easy. There was great information about the area provided as well. There were many options of where to sleep. The bedding was new and comfortable. There were also games and puzzles available. The large dining table provided plenty of room for all to participate together! I would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it! I woukd love to stay in the summer months as well!

Our stay in Fremont

Overall nice place. Could have used a little better cleaning in the bathrooms, but ok. The main issue we had for a few days was the main a/c wasn't working for the living room, kitchen, and 2 bedrooms. It did get up to 82 in the house a couple days. The manager suggested for us to open the windows and turn the fans on, which we had already done. on our last day there they did bring over a portable a/c to put i the living room. It was an overall ok stay, just wish we could have cooled the house a little better.

Perfect Place for Big Families

I met my Mom, Daughter-in-laws & Granddaughter for a girls trip and it was simply the perfect place for us! There was room for us to spread out & hang together. We enjoyed the view, the cozy vibe of the house & the distance to town (Ashton). One of our favorite parts about the house was the fact that those who slept downstairs couldn’t hear everything happening upstairs. And speaking of the upstairs, the early risers of the bunch could make coffee & chat with other early risers without waking those sleeping upstairs. Plus, all but one bed that we used was super comfortable. Unlike SO many other houses this house had a reasonable cleaning fee AND we didn’t have to do a ton prior to checking out. I feel so blessed that I have daughter-in-laws that want to spend time with me & that we had such a great place to stay! We will be staying again sometime.

Convenient and comfortable

It's a convenient stay close to West Yellowstone. If you are a group of 6+, you could save a plenty of money and time by staying here. Don't worry about driving back and forth everyday. 3 bathrooms in this house would help you cut down the getting ready time. I'd recommend this stay. Tip : Plan to check in before sunset as this is in fairly remote place.

Great outdoor space

This home has some real positive aspects to it! The outdoor space was great for a family with kids and the family area downstairs worked well for our large group. Unfortunately, I can not give this property a stellar review. The house and property we’re not well maintained at the time. There was no gas for the gas BBQ. The air conditioning unit is very small for a home that size and as a previous review stated, we could not get the remote controls to work in the living room. Nonetheless, this home is well priced and in a good location if you are looking to visit Yellowstone.

Paradise in Ashton

We don’t like staying near tourists, so this was perfect for a Yellowstone home base. Lots to do in the area. Quick drive to the West Entrance. Beautiful property with acres for littles to roam and explore. The house was plenty big enough for our family of 13. Beds for everyone. Just as the pictures show. Well stocked with everything we needed. Two drawbacks that are pretty minor: 1.) the kitchen disposal doesn’t work, and 2.) the A/C isn’t adequate for a house that size. With that said, it didn’t much matter because the positives of the house FAR outweigh the negatives. As far as communication with the owner, couldn’t have been better. We were given access code a week before our departure, and anytime I (or my adult kids) needed to contact Micah, he did so quickly. He went far and above to make us happy. Great family trip. The memories will last forever. Thank you so much for a wonderful experience!!

Beautiful homestead for family group

We arrived and found the home with a large quiet yard, complete with grill and firepit. We had several children staying who loved playing in the yard and treehouse and roasting marshmallows and hotdogs outside. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook nice family meals and there were plenty of clean beds and rooms for a large family group. I'm a runner and enjoyed early morning runs around the neighborhood, once again with beautiful views everywhere we went. We were able to get to Yellowstone and back easily every day of our trip and the house had great signals and wifi to help us plan our trip each day. One of our favorite features was the large common room/playroom complete with toys and bunkbeds. The cousins enjoyed having a sleepover in there every night and were easily entertained in the evenings by the toys available. I would absolutely recommend this home as a great value and location for a large family wanting a peaceful vacation off the beaten path.

Ashton, ID

This house is in a beautiful small town. We loved seeing miles and miles of wide open space and skies too. We also loved fishing close to the home at the Ashton Reservoir. Mesa falls was about a 30 minute drive and views of the Tetons were amazing. Also, West Yellowstone is only a short hour away. Our only complaints were that the grass was re seeded before we got there and no signs telling us to keep off the grass. Also, some bugs inside the home and the TV in the family room had no working remotes ( even with a change of batteries). But the home was beautiful and our stay was fun and good memories were made there. Thanks for letting us stay at your home.

Family stay early June 2019

Great location. Lots of open space outside that was well maintained. Great view of the river form the back. Lots of sleeping space inside. Bunk beds in the basement were great. Supplies were good with ample of amenities like towels, toilet paper, blankets, kitchen utensils, etc. Kids enjoyed playing on play set in the backyard. Cleaning crew could have done a better job. There were some food particles on the floor under the dinning table. Also there was construction on highway 20 operating with only 1 lane open that resulted in some time spent in traffic just at the point of turnoff for the street to the house. Overall it was a great experience for us and we would recommend this to others looking to stay in this area.
