We absolutely loved our stay in Island Park! The cabin was clean, comfortable, peaceful, and the perfect place to come back to after long days exploring Yellowstone and the surrounding area. The location was great! close enough to everything we wanted to see while still feeling tucked away and relaxing.We especially loved the hot tub after full days of hiking and sightseeing! The cabin had everything we needed and truly felt like a home away from home. We explored Old Faithful, Grand Prismatic, Mesa Falls, Harriman State Park, Big Springs, Quake Lake and so much more from here.Island Park ended up being one of our favorite parts of the trip, and this cabin was a big reason why. We made some amazing memories here and would absolutely stay again. Highly recommend!

Uncle Toms Cabin is nice but it’s very small. The stairwell to the upstairs is steep and narrow. This made getting luggage up the stairs a bit cumbersome. The downstairs bed is probably a double size bed that I couldn’t sleep in. Being 6’3”, 200 lbs it was too small for 2 people to sleep in comfortably. The pictures make the cabin look bigger than it is. The property is a bit overgrown and we encountered several snakes of the non-venomous variety. The cookware is old and the frying pans were pretty much unusable. The location is convenient, the cabin itself is clean and well maintained.

So sorry you didn't get the sleep you needed in our accurately listed queen bed. Our cabin borders a national forest. So our native grasses and flowers aren't mowed every week. Plus I am glad you got to see creatures that live in the forest. Uncle Tom's is listed at 960 square feet. Our small cabin allows families to come together not grow apart. We are proud of our cabin and the enjoyment it brings us and most of our guests.

Excellent, cozy cabin in a great location!

We adored our time at Uncle Tom’s Cabin! The cabin is well maintained and so clean and well stocked. We loved using the hot tub while star gazing! The location is perfect - close to so many wonderful things but still private. The beds were comfy! This cabin is charming and we hope to stay again!

This was a cozy cabin, and only 34 minutes from the West Entrance of Yellowstone! A moose came by the house both nights that we were there! I recommend staying here if you’re headed out to see Yellowstone. All the directions for cleaning up were very clear. Lovely stay.

Perfect for us

We had a wonderful time at Uncle Tom’s Cabin. We have been coming to Island Park for almost 5 years now staying at various rental properties. Uncle Tom’s Cabin was definitely our favorite so far. It was a wonderful stay for me and my girlfriend, and the perfect sized cabin and property. The hot tub was awesome and very well maintained.
