Just getting away from the hassle of life

Awesome location. Clean and very comfortable.

We had a large extended family group and the sleeping arrangements were perfect. The house is large and clean and has everything you need to enjoy a stay in Island Park/Yellostone.

Sheryl is a fantastic host! She was wonderful at communicating from the very beginning when we first booked it. We booked this cabin for a family reunion. We were also able to book the private two bedroom cabin right next to it for the grandparents to stay in. That was a very nice arrangement! Sheryl looked into every question I asked, including if she knew where any good day-use spots would be where we could play in the water. Although she didn't know off-hand she looked into it and got back to me in a matter of days. I am impressed with how she took care to look into the details to ensure we had a great stay. As a side note, the place she recommended and that we ultimately went to was: Lakeside Lodge Resort. Our group loved playing on their shore with their day use pass, which included access to their bounce houses, play set and water trampolines. The kids loved it! It was a great lake day! Unfortunately, this area is experiencing a large volume of what the Yellowstone Rangers called, "Buffalo Gnats". In Yellowstone they informed us that there was an inordinate amount of them, and that the female gnats would bite at the hairline. So due to things outside of the hosts control, this cabin unfortunately has them and has them bad. From what we could tell, they were in the drains. More and more would come out of the drains as the day progressed. We talked with a few people in the area and multiple cabins are experiencing this problem. We messaged Sheryl about them and she came after the first night with bleach and bleached the drains. By the second night, our kids were getting bit and she came the next day and cleaned out every drain, in an effort to address the gnats. Unfortunately, it will probably need much more attention to fully eradicate this gnat infestation. Sheryl left the second day and gave us instructions to contact her if the gnats persisted, and while they did, the adults also came down with a 24 stomach flu... and we kind of just dealt with the gnats. Without the gnats, this cabin/lodge is amazing! It totally fits all of our needs and can host a large family gathering. With the gnats, it made coming home to relax difficult. We would constantly have gnats in our faces in the evenings. Ultimately, from what I've been told, there is an unusual amount this year, but if bugs are an issue for you (as they were for some people in our party) there are a lot and you might consider a tent as there are no drains for the gnats to live in.
