This cabin was great. All appliances were very good. The location was great just about 20 minutes to the west entrance to Yellowstone. It was very easy to contact the managers with some questions we had. We would highly recommend this cabin.

Thanks for the great review. So happy you enjoyed your stay. It was a pleasure having you stay with us and hope you will come back again! Appreciate you!
My husband and I stayed at this property with another couple. The cabin was perfect! It was clean, comfortable, and well stocked with all the basics, excellent cookware, everything we could possibly need. It was close enough to the west entrance of YNP for daily visits, but far enough away from the “touristy” areas so it was quiet and peaceful. We were all extremely pleased with every aspect of this cabin. We would definitely stay here again!

This cabin was so great! It is so beautiful, and comfortable and had so many amenities that made our visit perfect! We loved the layout, with 4 bed/2 bath. There are plenty of dishes and a full kitchen! The cabin host was very easy to get a hold of, and we really felt like it was home for our 4 day visit! The cabin was clean and inviting! We will definitely be back next time!

Even, though this was a great get away, it was still centrally located to Yellowstone, Grand Tetons, the Mesa Scenic Byway, and Henry Forks and Snake River.
The accommodations were just right, upgraded and renovated kitchen with everything you might need.
Would live to come back.

We enjoyed our stay at the Watering Hole. The cabin was clean, comfortable, and well maintained. It had everything we needed for a great stay. We especially liked that it was close to Yellowstone NP. I would highly recommend it to my family and friends.

Thanks so much for coming back and staying with us. A returning guest is the nicest compliment a host can get!! We look forward to seeing you again soon. Lisa and Greg
This cute cabin was Even better than described- it was beautiful and had everything we needed. The hosts went above and beyond to provide us area recommendations and left little extras for us at the house to make our stay seamless. Only caution to others is the stairs to upstairs bedrooms are very steep, especially for little ones. The hosts were kind and set up baby gates on the outside porch though. The drive to west Yellowstone was an easy 20 mins. Would definitely recommend and would stay here again.

About Gary and ChaRee Preston - Property Manager ChaRee has managed this property for years and takes great pride in making sure your visit is special.
About Greg and Lisa McAlister - Owners We purchased this home in September 2017. Greg grew up in Texas but I grew up in Gardiner, MT (the north entrance of the park). Buying this wonderful home in Island Park is almost coming home for me! We currently live in the central valley of California and look forward to lots of great summer adventures in Island Park.
Why they chose this property
Besides the house itself, we love the abundance of trails in the area, closeness to Henry's Lake and are over the moon to be so close to Yellowstone. No matter where I have travelled, my heart has always belonged to Yellowstone and Greg has grown to feel the same.
