We had a great time. Close to Yellowstone, close to horse riding, close to the water for boating activities. Bring your own food because it is not close to a grocery store and limited to restaurants.

Incredible!
Exactly what we were hoping for. Beautiful LARGE and spacious cabin for 24 people. Met all of our needs…hot tub, kitchen was stacked, grill, fire pit etc. Remote area…we had moose in our yard!! But a quick drive to town for gas/groceries and lots to do. Great pizza/ice cream parlor right on the Snake River. 30 min drive to West Yellowstone Cabin was clean, comfortable and owners were wonderful. Great communication. We will be back!!

Just enough off the beaten path to give it a rustic feel; we enjoyed the heavily wooded lot. Everyone was pleased with the hot tub, fire pit, upstairs deck and comfy sitting area. Well-stocked kitchen and plenty of bath towels. Would definitely recommend!

Thank you for the feedback. The mattresses were bought new and less than a few years old. We have had our maintenance crews over to the property multiple times before and after your stay. We were unable to find all of these nails... We never once heard of this issue during your stay. If we could get more information regarding that concern that would be helpful. -IP Reservations

Home was very roomy for our group of 10. Several cooks in the group found the kitchen to be very well stocked. Convienient to West entrance of Yellowstone. Having 2 stacked washer/dryer's was great for our group in the middle of our trip. The rental rate was very reasonable for the size of the property! We always appreciate people sharing their home! Several suggestions for the owners -label the thermostates we were not sure which controled what -some seating on the side porch by the gas grill would be nice -the "fire pit" area was not very inviting , no seating and was overgrown with weeds in the area. It could be a much nicer spot and a real focal spot on cool nights. -several lamps had missing or burned out light bulbs having some spares would have been good ,don't mind replacing them. -the hand rail at entrance needs to be replaced one side was missing and both have rotten wood. We arrive after dark and the railing was a safety hazard. Again thanks for sharing your home. Jim

Comfortable stay at Northstar
Well stocked kitchen, very helpful as we were cooking. Evenings did get warm tho. We used box fans around to help circulate, esp while cooking. Loft was too warm to utilize. We wished for more bathrooms downstairs, but we managed. Loved the dual washer and dryer, super. We thought location and offering was good for the price and would stay again.

Fantastic cabin in a fantastic location
This house was absolutely perfect for our stay. Spacious, well kept, clean and well stocked in a great location. Right on the edge of the woods and near the river, it was a great location to feel like you were secluded and enjoy the beautiful country, we even saw a moose out of the living room window! On top of our planned Yellowstone adventures we really enjoyed the hot tub, fire ring, pool table and just hanging out at the house. The kitchen was probably the best stocked of any rental I've ever stayed in. And it was super convenient to have two washers and dryers for a group of our size. Highly recommend!

Disappointed Considering the Price
The house was clean and comfortable for our family of 13. However, we were disappointed that the fireplace did not work, the coffee maker was broken, and we had to boil our drinking water. The drinking water was not the owner's fault, but we were not warned about the the unsanitary water until two days before we arrived and no discount was offered for the lack of clean water.

Lovely, roomy home in the pines. It had 3 levels, 2 full-sized refrigerators, hot tub and 3 family gathering areas. The interior is beautifully done although the exterior could use a little tlc. Especially the handrails which are broken and full of splinters. We had a great time in this cabin.

This is a lovely cabin! The layout is great! Well stocked with kitchen equipment and dishes. The double washers and dryers and refrigerators were wonderful! We enjoyed the hot tub after a long day of exploring Yellowstone. The kids named the upper loft their secret hideout and enjoyed hanging out up there! Couches were very comfortable! Bathroom layouts were perfect for several people getting ready at one time. We enjoyed our stay here very much!

The lodge was beautiful. So well built and so beautiful. I wanted to stay for more days. We had 7 bedrooms and plenty of space to gather and talk. The extra refrigerator in the kitchen was a great surprise and we happily used it all three days. The hot water never ran out regardless of how many people showered at the same time. This is a wonderful rental.

The house was nice in a semi secluded area close to the river and other activities.
We enjoyed our stay at Island Park and the house. The kitchen had pretty much everything we needed except for a pizza cutter. We were there the end of June and it was getting hot it would have been nice if the house had air conditioning or at least screens on all the windows so they could be opened in the evening. The house is well supplied with towels even towels for the hot tub. There is a beautiful open loft. The only problem with that is when the kids were watching TV and playing in the loft the adults couldn't hear themselves down in the living room (by the fireplace). In fact the kids could hear us and not the TV. The house is full of beautiful wood on the ceiling the floors and the walls, I believe this makes the acoustics louder. The basement area was nice and very cool as in cold. There is a pool table and a TV and a big bean bag thing and no other furniture in the TV area. The basement bedrooms are nice they have heaters in them for those who get too cold. But there's plenty of blankets, we didn't use the heaters. There is also a beautiful wrap around porch the kids enjoyed running around. This is also where the hot tub is. We enjoyed our stay very much and plan to stay here again.

Perfect cabin in the woods
We loved our stay at this cabin. It is far enough away from the roads to feel secluded but close enough to be very accessible. Our family group of 19 people has stayed in Island park for a winter retreat for several years at another cabin. For the 2020 get together, the cabin we usually stayed at was not available so we found this one and it is an instant favorite. Everyone loved the hot tub and the pool table. The kitchen is spacious with lots of counter space. The built in bar seating was fantastic. The kids also loved the loft. The river is a short walk from the cabin and in the winter time the trumpeter swans are close by. Very serene to listen to the honks of the swans in otherwise complete silence. Two washing machines and driers is a very nice touch with so many people. There is a convenient store just 5 minutes away or a nice little grocery store less than 15 minutes away. There is also a great drive thru soda/coffe shop that has amazing treats only 5 minutes from the cabin. We loved our stay and hope to be back for our next get together.
