Timbers at Island Park

I liked everything about the place. It was very clean, very comfortable, had everything needed, and was conveniently located with just a 30-minute drive to the west entrance of Yellowstone Park. There is a food store and a gas station right next to the complex.

I liked everything.

We stayed at Timbers for 4 days, using it as a base to explore Yellowstone. It was almost a 30 minute drive to the West Yellowstone entrance, but was worth it. We used the pickleball court located at the adjacent golf club for a very nominal fee and ate at Connie’s 3 nights in a row…delicious! The fireplace had no flames, but was a nice addition. Driving a Tesla, we used the 110 outlet in the parking area and it added about 10% during the night. Coffee wasn’t available until 9:00 a.m. so we bought coffee in town most days.

Checking out on our last day, we were surprised the lady at the front desk (owner?) was not more friendly and appreciative of our stay.

We love how cozy this place is. Staff is very friendly and accommodating.

It was clean and served its purpose. Having said that, it was not the unit specified on booking.com. It was on the second floor, smaller and the bathroom set up was different. The reason I chose this booking was the fact that it was shown to be on the ground floor with a bathroom attached to the bedroom. Due to medical reasons, the ground floor was preferred, as navigating the stairs were difficult.

The staff were borderline rude and extremely impersonal. The family, who were checking in ahead of us, were from France, based on the passports l glimpsed in their hands. my husband and I could clearly see that they were having difficulty understanding the directions and check-in information. The check-in lady clearly did not pick up on that or didn’t care. We had difficulty and we speak English. One instruction, was when leaving, to leave your garbage on the corner of the parking lot. But there are signs everywhere that this was Bear country. The receptionist didn’t welcome us, ask where we were coming from or if it was our first trip to Idaho, etc. She just complained that tomorrow was her Friday and she was working 12 hours a day. I’ve had friendlier service from a government agency or at the DMV. Also, the place was in need of maintenance, especially painting and fixing of broken steps. clearly understaffed. Absolutely no resort feeling.
