Peace and serenity abound in this 3000 square foot hand crafted log home. Situated on the only golf course in Island Park .This three bedroom two bath home boasts wood carvings on the banisters and elk horn railings, 12-14 inch Douglas fir logs, and has been recently updated with solid surface counter tops, stainless steel appliances and new carpet throughout.

No matter what your interests or time of year, there is something for everyone, with world class fishing, rafting, hiking and sightseeing, and over five hundred miles of groomed snowmobile trails literally starting right outside the property's boundary. Best of all this home is 20 miles from the West entrance to Yellowstone National Park . Open to wheeled traffic in the summer months and snow coaches and snowmobiles in the winter months. Please check their website for access to the park as they do close for a short period between seasons.

The Resort is one of the only paved developments in the area with constant maintenance and snow removal which translates to true year round access ,which is a big plus in this area, where show accumulations in the winter can be considerable,and in the summer it translates to no dusty roads from 4-wheelers .

About The Owner

My wife Debbie and I live in Island Park year round .We have always dreamed of living in the mountains and two years ago we were able to realize that dream. Island Park is one of the most unique places in North America. At the beginning of the Rocky Mountains, the scenery year round is unparalleled for natural beauty and wildlife viewing fishing ,snowmobiling ,and sightseeing are world class and a bonus is the friendly people you'll meet here.

The Owner purchased this cabin in 1994
Why The Owner chose Island Park

We built this home and so we are the original owners of the home . We have two homes here in Island Park and can only live in one, so we rent this one from time to time and let our children stay in it when they come to visit. We wouldn't live anywhere else. We love it here!

What makes this cabin unique

Peace and quiet, fishing in the summer, snow mobiling in the winter, and wildlife viewing year-round.Year round . Our home is is one of the only paved communities in Island Park and that translates into easy acces in the winter and summer and a dust free area in the the summer which may not sound like much ,but is a graet plus when everyone jump on their fourwheeler and goes tooling in the summer months.

We just returned from a stay in this lovely home and found it to be a most pleasant experience. It is very convenient to everything and the owner was so gracious and did everything possible to make us comfortable. The house is in excellent condition, well furnished with new appliances and very comfortable. We have rented several times in Island Park and this was one of our best experiences. I would highly recommend this property.

Words alone cannot describe the wonderful experience our family shared at Doug & Deb's cabin in Idaho. The peaceful relaxed atmosphere of the cabin provided a retreat for reconnecting with each other during our stay. The owners gave us valuable information and actively participated in helping us get the most of our stay with their advice on how to and what to see in the area.
The accommodations are quite comfortable and truly an experience in themselves. The pictures don't do the reality of being in this home true justice. It is well maintained and we found the place to be spotless and well stocked with kitchen/dining appliances and dinnerware. A very good set of basic items to get you going until you can get to the store (paper towels, bath tissue, etc...) were provided. Also the owners close (but not intrusive) proximity to the cabin is helpful if you encounter any kind of problem. There were 6 of us staying in the cabin (all adults) and we found the spaciousness more than adequate to allow us our own private spots to relax, read, watch tv, etc. without feeling we were crowded.
We very seldom repeat a trip to a vacation location, but are considering a return during the winter season to do some snow mobile excursions into the vast area surrounding the location.
I would highly recommend this property to anyone looking to enjoy being with each other or their family or friends, or just wanting a vacation that you don't need a few days off to recover from vacation once you return home.
Our thanks to Doug & Deb for helping to provide us with a lifetime of memories and stories to share.
Owner's Response: Thanks for your kind words ,Deb and I enjoy meeting our guests when we can and take great pride in our beautiful home and by helping people accelerate their learning curve about this one of a kind magical place , called " The Yellowstone " . It was a pleasure having you in our home and hope to see you again soon,Doug

Great stay! Beautiful cabin! Thanks Doug & Debbie for a comfortable stay and your wonderful recommendations. The description was "spot on." Big Spring, just down the road, was a gorgeous and enchanting place. We had breakfast at the Running Bear in West Yellowstone after leaving North Forty and found some of the best eggs and pancakes we've ever had, anywhere. Why doesn't everyone make their eggs like that? We also took Doug's suggestion and spent the next night in Thermopolis, the biggest hot spring in the world, and stayed at the Days Inn (they accept dogs) right in the hot spring park, where they happen to have the best prime rib anywhere.

Trip home for a family reunion

5 of 5
Submitted: August 26, 2011 Stayed: August 2011
We stayed here in August, 2011 and had a great time. This is a great cabin, it is very spacious, clean, well maintained and very well equipped and decorated. The cabin has a nice wood stove that would be great for winter visits. There is a nice deck with a gas grill for those of you how like to grill outside. We rented the cabin during a family reunion and hosted several large dinners during the week and had plenty od room for everyone.

The cabin is situated close to West Yellowstone (about 20 minute drive). There are several resturaunts close to the cabin, grocery stores are also near by.
