Important Health Notice for our 2023 Vacation Rental Guests:
There is currently a “boil water order" from the State of Idaho for the community well water supplied to this home (see below) however you will not need to boil any tap water if you use the drinking water we have provided to all of our rental guests. The owner has provided a 5-gallon water dispenser in the kitchen (with several full 5-gallon refill bottles always on site) of high quality, pure drinking water bottled and delivered by the Culligan company, for our guests to use for drinking, food preparation, washing dishes, making ice and brushing teeth.

It is safe to bathe in the tap water, but do not ingest it. Sanitary dish washing is easy, by putting the dishwasher on the sanitation cycle, which uses a high temperature setting, and using "heated dry”. Any items that don’t fit in the dishwasher can be washed in hot soapy drinking water in the sink for 30 seconds, then rinsed with the drinking water. (All soaps that you’ll need are provided for you at this home.) We recommend that laundry should be done at the hot setting.

This protocol (recommended by the Idaho Dept. of Environmental Quality) has been used successfully and safely by thousands of people in situations such as this. We have had a full schedule of rental groups (since the problem was detected in May 2023) that have all used these protocols without any health issues, and have enjoyed their 2023 vacations here.

Here are the details of the “boil water order” as stated by the State of Idaho:
The rental property is subject to an Idaho Department of Environmental Boil Water Order, which is available to read at : https://www.deq.idaho.gov/deq-issues-boil-water-order-for-goose-bay-estates-aspen-ridge-subdivision-valley-view-subdivision-and-shotgun-cherokee-subdivision-island-park/

Water used for drinking, making ice, brushing teeth, washing dishes, and preparing food must be boiled for at least one minute. Using bottled water is an acceptable alternative.

Henry’s Lake Haven is a brand new vacation rental cabin that's in a perfect location for enjoying Yellowstone Park, Henry’s Lake State Park, and all of the amazing outdoor activities available in Island Park, Idaho! This 1325 sq. ft., 3 bedroom / 2 bath cabin sleeps 6 comfortably and is only 18 miles from the west entrance of Yellowstone Park, a scenic drive that takes less than 20 minutes. It’s also only a quarter mile from Henry’s Lake State Park, a world class trout fishing lake. Enjoy several miles of hiking trails in the park with a trailhead just a short distance from the house.
Tucked down a dirt road in a quiet neighborhood, Henry’s Lake Haven is a wonderful place to relax and look for wildlife. The views from the front of this house are spectacular and encompass small wetlands, Henry’s lake, and Black mountain. The very large 580 sq. ft. deck is a perfect spot to sit with family and friends. Fox kits play in the yard in spring. Sandhill cranes, bald eagles, pelicans, gulls, ducks, osprey, and bluebirds are often flying overhead. Moose and swans are seasonally seen. If it gets a bit buggy out relax indoors on comfortable couches with screened windows and beautiful views.
The entire family will enjoy this location. The area has an abundance of wildlife and depending on the season you may see antelope, elk, bear, moose, and many other varieties of animals. Lake access is walking distance (park pass may be required) and you can fish from the shore. Hiking trails bring you to the slough, where trumpeter swans nest in the spring. The park has a boat launch if you bring your own boat or you can rent one from several places nearby. The lake is known for incredible trophy sized trout and has cutthroat, cut-bow, and brookies. Excellent stream fishing can also be found in the nearby Henry's Fork and Madison rivers.
Inside, the tasteful decor is inviting. The furniture is comfortable. The great room contains a spacious and well-equipped cook’s kitchen, a dining table that seats 6, and a living area with a cozy gas fireplace, leather furniture, and a 65" TV. The comfortable master bedroom has a king size bed and an adjoining bathroom with a large shower and separate tub. Two other bedrooms have queen size beds and there is a second full bathroom. Fast WIFI allows you to stream video from Netflix, Amazon, YouTube and more, using your accounts to the TV.
If you’re looking for a comfortable home base for exploring Yellowstone and enjoying the great outdoors with your entire family, you’ll love our Haven!
There are lots of other day trips to choose from, including Teton National Park, Mesa Falls, Harriman State Park, the Red Rocks Lakes nature preserve (a bird watchers dream), and more. Enjoy horseback riding, whitewater or scenic rafting, boating, fishing and hiking.
