Comfortable Cottage Perfect for Families near Yellowstone, Idaho

Cottage Close To Yellowstone

Welcome to our family-friendly retreat in the beautiful Yellowstone area!



Our cozy cottage is the perfect mountain getaway, with plenty of space for small families. It features two comfortable queen beds, a twin log bed, twin log bunk beds, and a pull-out sofa bed. The setting is simply enchanting, nestled on just under a quarter acre in a charming neighborhood on the edge of the national forest. You're only a block away from the river with a convenient boat launch.



The cottage boasts a small fenced backyard, complete with a picnic table, making it a great place to relax with your loved ones. You'll find a covered patio in the front and a fire pit in the backyard.



Inside, you'll discover a full bathroom with a bathtub, shower, toilet, and sink with a vanity mirror. The master bedroom is in the loft and offers brand-new luxury queen and twin beds, along with a small dresser and a clothes-hanging area. The second bedroom down the hallway features an equally comfortable luxury queen bed. Even in the loft, there's a toilet and sink for added convenience.



Our well-appointed kitchen includes an electric stove and oven, a microwave, a refrigerator, a countertop dishwasher, a 12-cup drip coffee maker, a Keurig, and more. A large full bathroom on the main floor also houses a washer and dryer. The living room is beautifully designed with new hardwood floors and features a super comfy leather chair and a brand new sofa sleeper that accommodates 1-2 guests. Although we have a cozy dining space for 2-4 people, there are also 5 TV trays available for convenient indoor dining, or you can choose to dine outdoors on the front porch or in the backyard near the fire pit, or at the new picnic table.



The surrounding forest offers numerous outdoor adventures, including hiking, river floating, ATV riding, and more. We provide a trails map, and we recommend downloading one to your smart device for convenience. The river is just a short 5-minute walk away, and nearby, you'll find the must-see Johnny Sacks Cabin, a popular tourist attraction.



For a day trip, Yellowstone National Park is a mere 35-minute drive away, offering hours of sightseeing and wildlife observation. If you're into geocaching, it's a fun activity on your way to various attractions.



While staying in the area, we suggest visiting the vibrant town of West Yellowstone for shopping and dining, especially during the summer season. Island Park has a multitude of hidden gems to explore, and we have plenty of fantastic local suggestions that many tourists often miss.



Feel free to reach out if you have any questions or need assistance. Our goal is to ensure you have a memorable and enjoyable stay.



Please note that we do allow up to two medium-sized dogs, but puppies are not allowed. The second dog incurs an additional fee of $50 per day. We request that dogs are never left unattended, both inside and outside the cottage. Keep in mind that national and state parks are not particularly pet-friendly, so we recommend adhering to regulations to ensure the safety of your pets and park wildlife.



We're here to assist you throughout your stay, so don't hesitate to reach out via text. Enjoy a short 5-minute walk to the river, ideal for cooling off or enjoying water activities, such as kayaking or boating. We often see moose, making it a special experience.



You'll find ample parking space for two vehicles, including trailers, boats, and ATVs. If you plan on hiking, we recommend carrying bear spray, water, and a camera for safety and capturing beautiful memories.



We welcome your well-behaved pets, but please follow the rules, such as not leaving them unattended, adhering to size and quantity limits, keeping them off furniture and bedding, and cleaning up after them. We want to ensure a peaceful and enjoyable stay for all guests, so excessive barking and disturbances must be avoided.



Explore the wonders of this fantastic location, and create lasting memories with your loved ones. We're here to make your stay enjoyable and hassle-free!
