    10 Amazing Idaho Cabins Near Yellowstone National Park

    Laura Ray
    April 02, 2023

    Our country’s first designated national park offers millions of acres of high-altitude wilderness in northwestern Wyoming, spilling over to Montana and Idaho. Situated atop a supervolcano, Yellowstone is full of fantastic geothermal features, from gushing geysers such as Old Faithful to scorching hot springs and gaseous mud pots. This super scenic getaway is also home to the largest concentration of mammals in the contiguous United States. This area offers outdoor activities year-round, from fishing in the summertime to snowmobiling in winter. Enjoy the fresh mountain air from one of these Yellowstone National Park cabin rentals in Idaho.

    Mountain View Lodge, Island Park$310/night avg

    Located in Island Park about 10 minutes from the west entrance of Yellowstone National Park, Mountain View Lodge is removed from the madness that is West Yellowstone. After a day of exploring, relax in the hot tub or sit around the campfire under the stars. Take in beautiful mountain views and keep an eye out for wildlife such as deer. Kids will love sleeping up in the loft. Toys, games, and books are also provided as well as a portable crib, play mat, and high chair. Binoculars, trail guides, and a high-resolution camera are available for guest use. 

    Unlike some other vacation rentals in the area, this well-stocked cabin does have A/C in case you get caught in a heat wave. Don’t worry about cleaning or taking out the trash here either — there’s a cleaning service for that.

    We stayed 4 nights at this property while visiting Yellowstone park. The property is only about 15 minutes from the park entrance and outside of West Yellowstone. The cabin was well taken care of and had all the amenities we needed. There was plenty of space for our family of 5. The kids loved staying up in the loft and having their own space. Having air conditioning was nice because there was a bit of a heat waive through the area. The cabin is near thr highway but it really don’t bother us much at all. We couldn’t hear any cars during the night. It didn’t impact the beautiful views and we saw wildlife all around with deer right outside our doorsteps.We were very pleased with the rental and lucky times have found it . We would definitely rent here again.
    Really enjoyed our stay at this cabin! Clean, well stocked, a little farther from West Yellowstone which was perfect for our family. Escaped some of the madness! The back porch, fireplace and view were perfect!
    I can’t believe how perfect this home was for our traveling group that included my 81 year old mom down to my 10 year old son. We had plenty of room to unwind and relax, an amazingly stocked kitchen to prepare meals (sharper knives than I have at home!), and a beautiful backyard full of wildflowers and birds!
    Very good location near west entrance of Yellowstone.
    This cabin was a perfect Base Camp for all of our adventures to Yellowstone, Grand Teton, and the surrounding Montana, Wyoming, and Idaho areas. It is a beautiful cabin, well stocked, roomy, comfortable, and CLEAN. We loved every minute of our stay and are sad to have to go home. Would definitely recommend!!

    Rivers Edge, Island Park$289/night avg

    Half an hour from Yellowstone, Rivers Edge is just steps away from Henrys Fork of the Snake River, which is renowned for its fly-fishing. In fact, this cozy cabin on the river is a fisherman’s dream as you can cast a line right from the backyard. There’s a propane grill so you can cook up your fresh catch. Take in river views from the swing on the back patio. This authentic log cabin was built over 100 years ago, but don’t worry, it has been beautifully remodeled since then! Sadly, no fires are allowed in the stone fireplace, but you can warm up in the hot tub!

    Beautiful cabin on the Henry River. We heard elk every night after the sun was down. A family of geese would fly in every night at sundown and stay in the shallow part of the river. Pretty cool! Just down the road is a nice Mexican restaurant, fire cooked pizza and icecream shop plus a small gas station. Your only 38 min from w yellowstone entrance. The cabin has huge windows facing the river. I would highly recommend this one

    We rented this property to stay in while our family got married in Idaho. The house is so beautifully done and has everything you could need! The location is prime and Idaho is stunningly beautiful. We had 0 complaints and loved the house and our stay so much! Hopefully we will be able to visit again soon!!!!
    Beautiful house and property. Eight of us stayed and had plenty of room. It was farther from Yellowstone than expected but the house made up for the drive. Would definitely stay again.
    We were pleasantly surprised by how great this place is. As a regular user of vacation rentals, I can say that it’s one of the best planned and staged places I have ever stayed. The surrounding area is so beautiful that we didn’t want to leave every morning. Thank you Royce and Elise for making sure it had everything we needed and checking in to make sure all was going well. I hope to be back some day.
    I have married kids and kids still at home. This house was perfect for all of us. As every room is a master suite, each little family had their own space. And my wife and I still got the real master bed room. The windows and views were awesome. We spent a lot of time just soaking in the views inside the beautiful house and outside at the wonderful Teton mountian range. The house was equipped with everything we need to cook, clean, live in for an awesome Easter weekend. Things we loved. All the bathrooms. The mud room for setting it all down and moving in and out of this place. The views.Games for kids. The hot tub while snowing. Things I didn’t love:This place is brand new. There wasn’t grass yet. Was worried about mud. But it snowed 2 feet the next day so it wasn’t a problem. I am sure the grass is coming.

    The bison meadows lodge is amazing !
    This was the quintessential mountain home. It was so well-appointed, comfortable, & close to West Yellowstone. A fantastic place to unwind after a day in the park or just to relax for a day or two.
    Very clean. Owner was super responsive. Nice little extras that we could use like a cooler and a digital camera. Not far from the west entrance to Yellowstone at all. Overall a great time!
    I really liked the place and the interior of this Vrbo, loved the time we stayed here. Thank you!The only issue is the trash earlier wasn’t taken out and the hot tub side was stinking.The overall experience was amazing and everyone loved the place!
    We had the best time staying at this cabin! Loved the location and proximity to Yellowstone!

    The kitchen was incredibly well stocked, and the whole family enjoyed our stay immensely.
    The house was just as listed on VRBO. The kitchen was wonderfully stocked with plenty of serving ware. My only suggestion would be to add some handrails in the main floor bathrooms and may even suggest mentioning that the main floor bathrooms have tubs and not walk-in showers. We would definitely recommend this house.
    Such a beautiful and spacious cabin! Plenty of room and in a great location. Only 15 min from the West entrance of Yellowstone National park. Owners were very nice and easy to communicate with. Extremely pleased with our stay and hope to be back!
    House was clean and very well appointed. It had everything we needed for a wonderful stay. Highly recommend.
    We had 4 couples in our group and everyone enjoyed the accommodations! I’m the cook for the group and I was impressed with the well-stocked kitchen! The house is near Yellowstone National Park. The deck is perfect for coffee in the morning. The birds are singing and you feel secluded. We would highly recommend this house. Book it. You won’t regret it.

    We stayed with a group of 9- 6 adults and 3 kids and had the best time!! We saw two moose in the back yard, 50 feet away. We rented ATVs and drove all around island park. We grilled out, had a fire, looked at the stars. It was the perfect place for my in-laws very first trip outside of their home state! Brent & Candice were great hosts, we will stay here again for sure!
    Cabin offered a great central location for our trip. It was close enough to West Yellowstone that you could grab breakfast or dinner as you started or ended your day.
    We had some issues with the internet, I worked with the owners and they help me resolve it fairly quickly. You have to stream at this rental, there is no TV service. Other than that we loved absolutely everything about the rental. The views were awesome and the property was very relaxing after spending a day in the park
    Great cabin close to the entrance of West Yellowstone Park. Views of Henry Lake. Very well stocked cabin. Very clean. Fantastic bunk house with the property. We even saw a moose with her calf on our first morning there.
    The location is perfect for anyone that wants to relax yet still convenient to West Yellowstone. The view from the deck with a cup coffee and sweatshirt in the cool mornings was the perfect start to every morning. The end of day sitting at the fire pit making s’mores and seeing all the stars was amazing. The kitchen was well equipped with dishware, pot/pans, utensils etc. Perhaps we were lucky bc it was end of season but things like sandwich bags, Saran wrap, foil were all there. Even firewood and lighter fluid was available. Having two separate full bathrooms in the main house was so nice. Also equipped with hotel sized amenities shampoo/conditioner/bath wash/lotion. Plus some full size ones (left from previous guests). My kids loved the game cabinet. I think we played all the card games. Candice was so kind and prompt with any communications. I loved the note board in the foyer. We used it everyday… I am buying one for my own home ☺️ Thank you for sharing your slice of paradise. We hope to return again.
