Other Things to Note:
What to bring with you!- You're coming to a wilderness area to vacation and if you plan your vacation well you will have a positive experience. In the summertime May and through the middle of June can tend to be cooler early morning and toward the evening hours. Make sure to bring a jacket and long pants you can change into when needed. Bring a pair of tie up shoes to protect your feet. Shoes likes flip flops or sandals will not protect your feet when you are out exploring. Layering your clothing is a good idea and then if your too warm you can take off clothing as needed. At least this way when departing your cabin early morning to go site seeing you will have what you need with you. July and August are pretty warm and you should still bring a light jacket. The rest of the year you will want to bring heavier jackets and long underwear, snow suits etc. You will need to bring your private toiletries like bar soap and shampoo as we do not provide this for you. Cabins are equipped with everything else you should need except food of course. Snow tires and four-wheel-drive are recommended for traveling in Eastern Idaho during the winter. Road conditions can change quickly, and even well-traveled highways are occasionally closed by blizzards or high winds. Before setting out, check the Transportation Department's website or call 511 for an automated, up-to-the-minute status of all thoroughfares. Wise motorists will also carry emergency gear (shovel, snack bars, water, blankets) in their vehicles to be ready for any contingency. Coming Snowmobiling? A reminder to anyone traveling back country areas whether skiing, snowmobiling or hiking: Remember the time of year, exercising all back country cautions. Take necessary equipment and survival gear when venturing into the back country. If you have a GPS and cell phone, be sure to take them with you, but do not rely on them entirely for a safe rescue if you find yourself in trouble or stranded. Cell phones should be kept close to your body & turned off to keep the battery full, so it's not searching for a signal & running the battery down. Avalanche Transceivers and equipment, knowing what the avalanche conditions are, and knowing skills to save lives are a must for everyone entering back country riding or traveling. Plan ahead. Make sure you know the area you are going into before heading into it. If you find yourself in trouble, stop, take a look around you, and do not go any further. The further you go the more complicated and dangerous it is to get yourself to safety, also making rescue efforts more difficult and dangerous. Make mental notes in relation to any physical features or landmarks that would assist in your rescue. Make a plan, stick to your plan, narrow the riding area, & most of all...let someone know WHERE you are planning to go!

Great Family Reunion Cabin
We at a great time at this cabin! We had a lot of people and everyone had a bed! The kitchen had everything that we needed, the back yard is big and spacious, and being on the lake was awesome! The kids fished and swam off the dock and had a great time! This is definitely a cabin we will rent again for our family reunion!

Family vacation
Overall things were fantastic. A few things had some issues upon arrival which the office manager worked to resolve. Only thing that would have been better was if a better timeline for resolution was provided but I'm not sure the handyman/repair service gave the office a good timeframe. Kind of spent a day waiting around for him to show up -- which wasn't terrible as the cabin is great and right on the lake.

Everyone loved this home and location and voted to come back!
This property made spreading out as an extended family so easy and enjoyable. From infants to grandparents, everyone’s needs were met. We don’t have a motorized boat but our kayaks and other floatation devices made the proximity to the water perfect. The kitchen was well outfitted for large groups and the extra fridge in the garage was extremely helpful!! The play set was clutch for our little children and the lawn near the water provided ample space for games. We even saw an eagle land in the water right in front of the home and scoop out a fish. Honestly, it was such a wonderful home and location, well thought out for large groups! We’ll definitely put this Island Park home in our vacation rotation. As recommended on the website—remember the insect repellent.
