Decide to try Island Park for our annual winter getaway with our friends. The house was as advertised and we had plenty of room for games and puzzles and lots of snow for toys. The accessory unit above the garage was a bonus and was perfect for the teen girls. Would stay here again!

"Luxury Cabin" may be an understatement; we visited the area in December during the arctic blast that hit the US, getting down to -40º one night, the area lost power for 2hrs, but the cabin is so well built we never felt cold. Our group had nine adults, and two couples brought their kids, four total, ages 9-14. We never felt cramped, there is plenty of space if you want privacy, and common areas are large enough for everyone to gather. Even though the winter storm hampered some of our plans to ride snowmobiles in the area, we still had a great time playing ping-pong tournaments in the heated garage, board games, and puzzles; it was the perfect chance for friends to catch up. We also made it over to Yellowstone. A few folks had been to Yellowstone before, and all of them said it was like visiting a different park, a "winter wonderland." I can't say enough about how functional and beautiful this cabin is; they even had Christmas lights up! I gave 5 stars on all aspects of this property; I wish I could give more for "communication" Sonia was on top of everything and very responsive at crazy hours of the night. Thank you for a lifetime of memories! We will be back! James

Our two families had a wonderful stay. The house is super comfortable, clean, and relaxing! The main sitting area and kitchen are large enough for multiple families to stretch out. We had a small communication issue with an incorrect gate code at the very beginning, but all got worked out OK. Ping-pong and foosball balls were gone, which was disappointing for the kids. However, we made great use of the tetherball, spa, and barbecue which were all great. As others have said, the kitchen was very well equipped, with plenty of cookware, utensils, and dishware. The neighborhood is well spread out between houses and remarkably quiet. This is definitely a place to get away from the hustle and bustle of city or suburban life. We would stay here again.

This was a wonderful home and property. The extra space in the garage gave the older children their own area. The views bring a sense of peace. My only wish is that it was a bit closer to the west gait of Yellowstone as that was the goal of our trip, but it is not a deal breaker.

Easy to rent and was provided with a list of nearby attractions.

We had an excellent family trip. We would make 3 small suggestions. we only found one dishcloth for doing dishes, dinner plates would not fit in the dishwasher (need smaller ones) and dishwasher pull outs didn't stay in when open. Also, some issues with windows and screens. we couldn't open them because of no screens and a couple of windows didn't stay open. i hope we left things as we found them, we had a wonderful vacation.

Extremely beautiful house. decent view of the mountains. Clean and everything needed for cooking. Not as remote as we thought it would be.

We had Grandma, Grandpa, their 4 adult children and 5 grandsons (ages 9 to15). This property provided everything we could have hoped for. We enjoyed the hot tub, fire pit, gas grill, and of course the full kitchen. I could go on and on, but you get the idea... everything we could have wished for was provided. Thank you

We had a great time. The house is beautiful and everything we hoped for. A great place to stay!

With the exception of the long (2miles) very rough gravel road, the house was very nice. Any and all amenities were available, we did have some issues which I will discuss with the Host privately. But over all a great experience. Conveniently located between Yellowstone and Grand Teton, the Mesa Falls are well worth the trip. The biggest concern with the house is conversations in kitchen are amplified the bedrooms above (just FYI) and no closet for the master bedroom. Overall, would stay there again if opportunity developed..

Had everything we needed for the week. Great space and beautiful place. Would highly recommend!

This place has beautiful views of the mountains and flatlands and was perfect for our group. We had adults ranging from 19-41 as well as a couple smaller kids (7&10) and a teenager. The house provided enough space (and restrooms) to allow the privacy and showers needed for that many people. The kitchen and pantry are one of the most well equipped that I’ve seen in any VRBO. We also used the tether ball often with the younger kids. The hot tub and volley ball court are also exclusive to the property. We would have used them more but we spent most of our time in Yellowstone and the Tetons. The property is located fairly close to both parks. There are also several other smaller attractions around the property that are very worth while. The road is very long and gravel, but not difficult at all, any vehicle should be able to drive it. We saw an elk and several pronghorn from our cabin windows during our stay. The views are expansive and sunrises and sunsets are unforgettable. We would definitely book here again and would definitely recommend a stay here.

This home was absolutely perfect!! Plenty of space for our group. The house had everything we could possibly need. Very close to Yellowstone West entrance. Definitely the most memorable trip we have ever had! Sonia was very accommodating and stayed in touch to make sure we had everything we needed.

Excellent communication with property manager. Everything was well stocked & maintained.

Great property. All it was advertised to be. Would stay there again.

We enjoyed the deck, hot tub and all of the bedrooms, the kitchen and there was lots for the kids to do. The water pressure when showering was terrible if anyone was using any other type of water which was very annoying. We were slightly disappointed with the state of the volleyball court (weeds everywhere, not maintained).

Very spacious. Plenty of room for all 18 of us. The surrounding area was perfect! Walked to the beach, close enough to Yellowstone. Couldn't have asked for a better house! The manager was very kind and helpful. Even acquiring a stroller fory grandson! Lifetime memories were made!

Loved it..

The cabin was perfect for our needs. Not too far from West Yellowstone! Cabin was clean and comfortable. Communicated with Sonja several times. All was taken care of!

We had an amazing stay in this beautiful home. There was plenty of space for everybody in our group. The kitchen is very well stocked, there is plenty on linens and two washers/dryers. The beds are super comfy and there is plenty of space inside and out to relax and hang out with family and friends. Yellowstone is an easy drive. We went horseback riding and then attended the local rodeo at Creekside Trails, which was a great time. The access to the park and lake within the community where the property was located was wonderful. I would highly recommend this property!

We had a great week visiting Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Parks while calling Papa Bears Cabinour home base for the week. It worked out perfectly for our family! The cabin was well equipped and the kitchen was stocked with cooking essentials. The reason for rating the cleanliness a 3 out of 5 was due to some oversights by the cleaning crew. Sonia was very responsive and apologetic for the inconvenience. I am certain she has addressed. I highly recommend Papa Bears Cabin for your family adventure!

The location was perfect - especially since we had a boat. We had family from four separate households there for the family reunion. We gather every year and this is - by far - the best experience we've had. The amenities were high-end and well apportioned. What could make it better? I guess another bathroom, as there are four bedrooms and only one bathroom in the upstairs area. (I mean, if I was to pick something...) There was a heat wave while we were there, so while it did cool down considerably at night, it was pretty hot in the house the majority of the time. Another suggestion might be to have some box fans so that we can improve the air circulation. But this was not the major take-away. The volleyball court was amazing. We attempted to use the hot-tub and the straps to lock it down were inoperable and we couldn't get it up to our desired heat. But, as I said, it was already pretty hot - ha! But that might be something to look into prior to cooler weather. The trash had not been emptied (in the cans in the garage) upon arrival, but the owner answered my quick call and had it addressed immediately so we never had an issue with trash pile-up. It is clear that a lot of love and care has gone into providing this location for VRBO. All of us - from age 11 to age 83 - agreed that it was the best we've had in the past five years. Bravo!
