Island Park Cabin Near Yellowstone sleeps 5-6The Big Chalet – Cozy, Comfortable, Close to YellowstoneIf you’re looking for a clean, comfortable forest chalet — not luxury, not modern showroom vibes — just a solid, cozy Idaho stay close to Yellowstone, this could be a great fit.The Big Chalet sits at the end of a quiet road on an acre lot surrounded by national forest. It shares the property with the Little Chalet next door, so while it feels peaceful and tucked away, you may see other guests coming and going.Inside you’ll find two queen beds (one in the main bedroom and one upstairs) plus a sleeper sofa in the living room. It works well for small to medium families who want space to spread out after a full day exploring.The kitchen is stocked with the essentials: gas stove, oven, microwave, refrigerator, dishwasher, coffee maker, cookware, and dishes. There’s a full bathroom near the main bedroom and a half bath with washer and dryer on the main level. The living room has hardwood floors and comfortable seating to relax at the end of the day.We do have fiber WiFi, which is a big plus in Island Park and works well for streaming or remote work.Outside is where this place really shines. The back deck wraps around much of the chalet and overlooks the trees. There’s a fire pit below (please follow current fire restrictions). Nights are quiet, and the stars are usually incredible.The river is a 5-minute walk or less from the chalet, depending on your pace. While the property is not directly on the river, it’s very close and easy to access for cooling off, floating, or launching nearby. You can float toward Mack’s Inn or simply enjoy the shoreline. Bring your own tubes or rent in town — we’re happy to share recommendations.Yellowstone’s West Entrance is typically 25–35 minutes away depending on traffic. Johnny Sacks Cabin is also just a short drive.A Few Important Notes (so expectations are clear):• This is a forest chalet — you may see pine needles, bugs, wildlife, or dust from the woods. We clean thoroughly, but nature is part of staying in the trees.• The Big Chalet and Little Chalet sit side by side on the property.• There is one large driveway that comfortably fits two vehicles.• No trailer hook-ups (we cannot provide water or power to trailers).• Cell service can be spotty depending on your carrier.• A simple rental agreement is required after booking (Airbnb-approved).• An Airbnb-approved refundable security deposit hold is also required. It works like a hotel hold and is released after our cleaning team confirms there is no damage or missing items.These policies help us take care of the home and keep it affordable and available for families visiting Island Park.If you’re looking for luxury finishes and resort amenities, this may not be the right fit.If you want coffee on the deck, river access just down the road, Yellowstone days, and a comfortable, honest place to land at night — you’ll likely love The Big Chalet.We’re nearby and available by text if you need anything.
