Notes

What to bring with you!- You're coming to a wilderness area to vacation and if you plan your vacation well you will have a positive experience. In the summertime May and through the middle of June can tend to be cooler early morning and toward the evening hours. Make sure to bring a jacket and long pants you can change into when needed. Bring a pair of tie up shoes to protect your feet. Shoes likes flip flops or sandals will not protect your feet when you are out exploring. Layering your clothing is a good idea and then if your too warm you can take off clothing as needed. At least this way when departing your cabin early morning to go site seeing you will have what you need with you. July and August are pretty warm and you should still bring a light jacket. The rest of the year you will want to bring heavier jackets and long underwear, snow suits etc. You will need to bring your private toiletries like bar soap and shampoo as we do not provide this for you. Cabins are equipped with everything else you should need except food of course. Snow tires and four-wheel-drive are recommended for traveling in Eastern Idaho during the winter. Road conditions can change quickly, and even well-traveled highways are occasionally closed by blizzards or high winds. Before setting out, check the Transportation Department's website or call 511 for an automated, up-to-the-minute status of all thoroughfares. Wise motorists will also carry emergency gear (shovel, snack bars, water, blankets) in their vehicles to be ready for any contingency. Coming Snowmobiling? A reminder to anyone traveling back country areas whether skiing, snowmobiling or hiking: Remember the time of year, exercising all back country cautions. Take necessary equipment and survival gear when venturing into the back country. If you have a GPS and cell phone, be sure to take them with you, but do not rely on them entirely for a safe rescue if you find yourself in trouble or stranded. Cell phones should be kept close to your body & turned off to keep the battery full, so it's not searching for a signal & running the battery down. Avalanche Transceivers and equipment, knowing what the avalanche conditions are, and knowing skills to save lives are a must for everyone entering back country riding or traveling. Plan ahead. Make sure you know the area you are going into before heading into it. If you find yourself in trouble, stop, take a look around you, and do not go any further. The further you go the more complicated and dangerous it is to get yourself to safety, also making rescue efforts more difficult and dangerous. Make mental notes in relation to any physical features or landmarks that would assist in your rescue. Make a plan, stick to your plan, narrow the riding area, & most of all...let someone know WHERE you are planning to go!

Great base for exploring Yellowstone NP


by on 07/17/2023 00:00:00
This small, over-garage A-frame cabin met all of our needs, which were a comfortable place to stay with the ability to cook breakfast while spending all day in the parks. The queen size bed was comfortable, and the other reviews were right: because there are only two windows on the east and west sides, the cabin is a bit dark. But we did not care because it was only for breakfast and sleeping. We had a bit of a struggle with the AC, as we couldn't figure out how to turn it on, and once we did, we couldn't adjust the temp and were afraid to turn it off because we worried that we couldn't turn it on again. (And yes, AC was necessary...it was getting into the 80s during the day, and the apartment was stuffy and hot when we first arrived, and the bedroom was still hot every night when we got back even with the AC running.) We ended up spending our awake time in the apt in the bedroom instead of the living area because of the temperature difference between the rooms. But again, we did not care because this was simply the home base to explore the park. It was about 20 min from the house to the west entrance. Also the google maps app took us right to the house, so the driving directions + the app worked out great for us.

Nice and very quiet. We slept with the windows open and slept like babies.




 







Great couple's cabin for Yellowstone access!


by on 07/08/2022 00:00:00
We had a great time here. The kitchen and washer/dryer access were super convenient. The drive to West Yellowstone and the park was easy each morning. One thing to keep in mind is if you are tall, the sloped ceilings in some parts of the cabin might be a slight challenge. The lake and mountains were beautiful!
