Our stay at Henry's Hatch Cabin was great. The property manager was great to work with. Even when a crazy storm blew in one night and gave us some minor issues they were quick to respond and fix it.

Location is conveniently located near restaurants, gas and grocery store. Located within 1/2 and hour to the west Yellowstone entrance. Rooms were clean, fully-stocked beautiful kitchen. Liked that they had a s’mores kit and some firewood for the fire pit. Rooms tended to get warm during the night though even though thermostat dial was set to 60 on lower level floor. Family didn’t see a thermostat in upper bedrooms? Overall, clean and family friendly house as there was a swing set, volleyball net and games outside :) house is set further in the property and the Mountain View and crisp air outside made it pleasant!

It makes us so happy knowing your family was able to relax, play, and take in those mountain views and fresh Island Park air. 🌲✨ We also appreciate your note about the bedrooms getting warm—we’ll be looking into ways to make the upstairs temperature more comfortable for future guests.

We’d love to welcome you and your family back anytime for another memorable trip to Yellowstone! 🐻💛

The house was incredible. Although,I thought the house had Central A/C, everything worked out just fine. it was cool enough (early Sept) at night to crack the window and run the fan in the downstairs bedroom. the living room had a portable air conditioner, So that was nice to have while hanging out at the house. The bathroom master bath was beautiful. Great job on the remodel. We had everything we needed in the Kitchen during our 4 day stay.

Great spot for family

We had a great stay here. Everything has been remodeled/updated. High end kitchen had everything we could need. Rooms were comfortable and everything was very clean. We enjoyed cooking out on the grill and sitting out by the fire pit. The kids enjoyed the playground equipment. Only about a 25 min drive to the west entrance of Yellowstone. Small (busy) grocery store across the road had a good selection if you need any staples while there. Hosts were very responsive and helpful!! Would recommend to anyone!

The house and fire pit were awesome. Glad no one was in the other house as you share a common area. I did not see this listed on the Vrbo listing. Only real problem we had was with obtaining some of the amenities listed. Internet and TV out most of the time we were there.

James, it was nice meeting your family. It is listed that you share the outside common area with the other home on the property. I am sorry you weren’t aware of this. Also, it is unfortunate that we have had to learn the hard way that we have to monitor the outdoor games for theft etc. As for the internet, what a strange week it was.

We had a rental in W. Yellowstone get cancelled last minute due to water damage. I believe no more than a couple weeks before we flew out... We found this property, and are beyond thankful that we did. The house is immaculate, well decorated, and felt like home each day coming back from the park. Randy and Lisa were wonderful hosts. Accommodating, kind, and a pleasure to speak with. Don't overlook what Idaho has to offer! Mesa Falls, horseback rides at Harriman State Park, Henrys Lake State Park, and more. Very easy scenic drive to Grand Teton. Do yourself a favor and book a stay here. You won't regret it!

The Cub House

The Cub House is a beautifully designed repurposed barn/cabin in a quiet neighborhood that provided us (a retired couple from NH) with five star accommodations during our exploration of Yellowstone National Park and the surrounding area in late May 2023. It is conveniently located in Island Park, ID just 75 minutes Northeast of Idaho Falls, ID via Route 20 and 30 minutes South of the West Yellowstone, MT entrance to Yellowstone National Park. We were the first guests to stay at the Cub House following recent enhancements to the property. The ground floor features a fully equipped kitchen with premium appliances, granite countertops, dining area, remote work space, living room with gas stove/heater, master bedroom with a gas wall fireplace and en suite bathroom, an additional half-bath, and a full size washer/dryer. The second floor has two bedrooms (total three beds) and a bathroom with shower. An outdoor gas grill, fire pit, fiberoptic cable internet and wide screen televisions are also provided. A small grocery store, coffee shop, restaurants, the Flat Ranch Nature Preserve, Henry’s Lake, the Island Park Reservoir, Harriman State Park and hiking trails are all within walking distance or short drives from the Cub House. The hosts, Lisa, Randy and Brenda, were readily available by phone/text/email for any questions about the property or the local area. The ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Cub House will be our first choice for accommodations for our next trip to the area.

A Family Vacation at Cub House

Pros: Location relative to Yellowstone and nearby lakes is great. Lots of outdoor activities in area. Property interior is well done and kept. The VRBO listing was not clear that some amenities are by request, so we arrived to no travel crib or high chair but host quickly responded and resolved. Thanks! Cons: a) window shade in room with double beds is not blackout and with no curtains were unable to make room dark for kids to sleep well with long summer daylight. b) outdoor amenities and space are shared with a property that holds ~30 people. We figured we missed this detail but re-read VRBO and Casago property descriptions,etc and cannot find it. Shared amenities are just outside Cub House so when space is in use it’s more disruptive to guests of Cub House than other property. While there are two fire pits, guests of the other property used one adjacent to the Cub House til midnight. We had windows open to cool rooms in the evening but were forced to close them due to the smoke, making it uncomfortably warm for sleeping. The large group was often using everything in the evening making it difficult for us to use the space. They also left garbage at fire pit, did not place items back after use, and their children pulled the horseshoe stakes out of the ground and threw them. We feel more clarity could be provided to future guests by explicitly outlining shared outdoor amenities and space in the property description. Having this understanding upfront would have been a plus.

This house was beautiful and perfect for us. It was super clean, very quiet and comforable. It's close to town and all the services. We had a trailer with a 4-wheeler and float boat and their was plenty of room to turn around and to store our bikes and boat in the garage when we weren't using them. We would absolutely stay again!!
