Forest Haven, a Cozy Cabin, 30 Minutes from Yellowstone!
About this cabin rental
Look no further, this really is the ULTIMATE cabin for your summer or winter vacation! In November 2010, we purchased this lovely, smoke-free, cabin (built June 2010) in beautiful Island Park, Idaho. It's just a 30 minute drive to Yellowstone National Park, but that's only the beginning. Located in the center of the Island Park area you have access to fishing, wildlife viewing, and snowmobiling/four wheeling right from the front door. We have plenty of off street parking for your toys. We have really gone above and beyond and have spared no expense to make our cabin an exceptional place to stay while offering an incredible value for your money! Our cabin has a fully stocked kitchen with convenient appliances, including a full size washer & dryer inside the unit. You can relax with our gas stove, roomy bathrooms and attractive furnishings. Smoking is not allowed. We have a king-sized bed in the master bedroom with an extra comfy pillow top mattress, a queen-sized bed in the upstairs bedroom, and two more queens and a twin in the loft. There is also a pullout couch in the living room downstairs. The dining room table is large and can accommodate up to 9. There is a "full" bathroom downstairs and a very roomy "3/4" bathroom upstairs with a shower, but no tub. The cabin is stocked with everything that will make your stay comfortable and fun! We have a total of 2 TVs with DVD players (a 46' flat screen in the living room, and a smaller t.v. in the upstairs 'kids corner'.) We also provide a selection of movies for the whole family. The summer of 2012 we added Direct t.v. and internet service. Cell phone coverage is available. We do not have air conditioning, but in the hottest of months if you open the windows after sunset, the mountain breezes will quickly leave you comfortably cool. Your kids will love the books, board games and toys we provide. After a long day of having fun, you are welcome to use the gas grill on our patio, and make S'mores, sing campfires songs, and tell ghost stories around the fire pit. *** Please note*** Posted on 8/15/2023 * The rental property is subject to an Idaho Department of Environmental Quality Boil Water Advisory, which is available to read at: https://www.deq.idaho.gov/deq-issues-boil-water-advisory-for-shotgun-north-and-shotgun-kickapoo-island-park-2/ * Water used for drinking, making ice, brushing teeth, washing dishes and preparing food needs to be boiled for at least one minute.

Property was very clean and well stocked. The lack of a lawn and weeds made it more difficult to walk our dogs. Biggest negative was the extensive check out procedure - we were asked to do all laundry and dishes before leaving which wasn’t possible with a 10 hour drive the day we checked out.

I booked this for my husband's 40th birthday. It was amazing. There were so many trails to ride near the cabin, the views were great and it was so quiet and peaceful. The kids loved the loft area! After a long day of riding it was so nice to come back, take a shower and sit on the front porch just listening to the birds. We are looking forward to coming back again.

The cabin was very nice and extremely clean. The layout was ideal for multiple people. The stairs were not very steep for my elderly mom. The cabin was the perfect location for our vacation to Yellowstone. I would highly recommend this cabin to family and friends.

The property was just as it was listed. It was clean and super cozy. We made the trip down from Washington chasing the snow, we were not disappointed. We brought our 30 foot enclosed snowmobile trailer which we were able to park right down the road at the snow park. We definitely enjoyed our time at Forest Haven and will be back next year.

Enjoyed everything the house and location had to offer. Home is comfortable, spacious, with lots of household supplies and kitchen supplies. Owner Regina was amazing to work with! Best place to stay for winter and snow activities. Close to west Yellowstone.

The cabin is well laid out for a group gathering, it has a nicely equipped kitchen and is located in a quiet, secluded neighborhood. The cabin is located such that it is an easy drive to West Yellowstone, Lakes Henry and Hebgen as well as Earthquake Lake.

The cabin was remote and quiet...a little further out from Yellowstone than expected and the entry road pretty rough, but overall good accommodations for two couples.

Forest Haven
Forest Haven was the perfect lodging for our vacation. My boys were so sad to leave. It was clean and comfortable. We loved everything about it, especially working with Regina. She was so helpful in helping us plan our vacation after the Yellowstone flood. We couldn’t have asked for a better host. We can’t wait to visit again.

Forest Haven had everything we needed for an easy and comfortable stay. The beds were great, the bathrooms clean and the kitchen well stocked. We appreciated the games for the rainy nights and the fire pit for a fun evening outdoors. It was very quiet and soothing after a our days in Yellowstone. All in all it was just what we wanted.

Nice cabin, but had issues
The cabin was very nice and clean. we first got there and couldn't connect to WIFI. Texted host and response was quick and they didn't know what the issue was. they said they would call internet provider in the morning and call me back. Never heard from them again. No wifi during our stay. So, we thought, okay, we'll watch some movies. they had a lot of DVDs available. The DVD player didn't work. So we thought okay, we'll watch the satellite TV that they have. There was no TBS, TLC, AMC, ABC, CBS, NBC, basically nothing but sports channels. So that was very disappointing.
Suggestion: get more reliable internet, new DVD player, offer Hulu, Netflix, cable. Then it would be a 5 star stay.

Everything was clean and worked (fridge, oven, etc)
Only thing was it was pretty hard to pull the 4 place snowmobile trailer into the driveway with a 4 door longbed truck.

Forest Haven was awesome. The place is really spacious, notably much bigger than it looks in the photos. It is in a nice location where you feel away from the city but not completely secluded. Would highly recommend staying here.

This cabin was awesome! The cabin was very clean when we got there and the whole family enjoyed the stay. Located 30 mins outside of Yellowstone, so we did a couple days in Yellowstone. Had a great time and will definitely go back.

This is the second time we have stayed at the property. Last time was in January for the snowmobiling. The cabin was clean again and fully stocked. We had hoped to spend more time outside but it rained for 2/3 of our trip. However we were grateful to be in the cozy cabin with plenty to do instead of our tent trailer. We highly recommend this property in summer and winter! Regina is great and very responsive.
