Cozy Cabin, Convenient Location

Overall, this cabin is exactly what we were looking for. Central Island Park location is great, it's nice to have to a restaurant and bar, as well as convenience store, all in walking distance. Check in was easy and Casey is friendly. Remodel of interior is well done, and the two bathrooms are nice when you have more than a couple people in. Overall great stay, Island Park is gorgeous. My only, only complaint, and was unanimous amongst the 4 of us, is that the beds are really not very comfortable. New mattresses would make a huge difference in the comfort of the cabin.

Good, but could have been better.

Surprised to find no clothes closet or dressers. Had to live out of suitcases for a week. Mentioned this to the check-in people and they informed me that this cabin was not a long term, but just an overnight stay property. Found this disappointing. Simple things need to be taken care of like: The BBQ is new, but no steak knives, no cookie sheet for biscuits, etc, and only 2 cereal spoons an odd assortment of plates and bowls.......kind of lacking in many ways. Also, biggest complaint: My bed squeeked the entire stay, was lumpy and very uncomfortable, and told the check-in people that the ice maker did not work. No one came by to check it out. But we still managed to have a good time.

Adequate for overnight

Overall lodging was OK. Could use a little warmth. Pretty stark on the inside. Way to expensive for what you get. Probably will not stay here again.

A great cabin!

We couldn't stay long enough! The cabin was exactly as described and even though only 3 of the 8 of us eneded up staying here it was really fun. We went to the on site bar, we grilled our dinner, we walked down by the river, and we loved the beautiful interior living space. We got up super early to leave tho and wish we could have stayed much longer. We hope to make a family trip back to Yosemite and stay here again! It was only 20 minutes away.

Great property

This property was clean and comfortable for 4 adults and 4 children. The property backs up to a beautiful stream that we would walk beside in the evenings—if you go in July bring mosquito repellent. We had a great time!

Frustrating and disappointing

We were very frustrated to find that there was no WiFi and many of the outlets did not work in the kitchen/dining and living area. There was a ceiling outlet with bare wires that is unacceptable for the price paid. It was disappointing to find there was no washer or dryer. Even more disappointing was that when trying to make contact with the phone # provided after making the reservation there was never any response to our inquiry. The facility itself was a great location and had available space for many to enjoy the accommodations had they been functioning. This was not our first experience with VRBO but definitely was the worst.

Fantastic cabin not too far from West Yellowstone

The check in process was smooth and the staff was very friendly. The cabin itself was great. Very clean, seemed brand new on the inside. On the property is a full restaurant and convenience store which are both a short walking distance from the cabin. I would absolutely rent this place again next time my family passes through.

Great short stay cabin

Very clean! Nice cabin-it met our needs. But we found outlets not working in the kitchen-there was a hair dryer but it would not work after plugging it in to many outlets! If you plan to do some cooking here the grill worked great but no large bowls or ovenware. Very quiet! Beautiful location!
