Lakefront with private dock & fire pit - Bunk House Cabin

This beautiful lakefront getaway offers guests an amazing experience with incredible scenery just 40 minutes from Yellowstone National Park. There are 2 bedrooms and a large loft/play area for the kids. The cabin features a full kitchen with with plates, coffee maker, toaster, dishwasher, microwave etc. If you prefer not to cook while on vacation, Lakeside Lodge is a full service restaurant and bar just minutes away. The lodge also offers a wide array of rentals for playing on and off the water.

The main floor of this beautiful 3 bedroom 1 bathroom cabin features 1 of the bedrooms with a queen bed and a shared bathroom. This level also contains a full-sized kitchen, large dining room table and a spacious family room with a fireplace, TV and plenty of room for gathering the whole family.

The loft is the perfect space for the kids to sleep. It has 4 twin beds both in one conjoined space for that fun sleepover type feel. On the other side of the loft is the master bedroom featuring a king bed and a private deck that looks over the lake with a view of the dock and fire pit.

Guests will have access to the entire house with a private fire pit and outdoor areas but will share access of the dock with the house next door which can also be rented as a pair for getting multiple groups together. Look for the listing titled "Hidden Bear Cabin" for availability and pricing. Guests will also have access to the Lake Side Lodge which is for community use. Here you'll also be able to find rentals and food.

I give my guests space but i live in the area year around and am available when needed.

This cabin is sure to fulfill your dreams of lakeside living in the Rockies. This area is famous for boating, cross country skiing & snowmobiling. Yellowstone National Park is a 40 minute drive through beautiful country. There is a common lodge on the island available for you to use and go out to dine, with wi-fi at the lodge. It doesn't get better than this. Located on the calm, inviting Island Park Reservoir waters with Blue Ribbon fishing just down the way and a semi private beach and dock right out the back door.

Guests will need their own transportation in order to get to the cabin, stores, restaurants, and Yellowstone National Park as there are no public transportation or ride share services available in the area. There is free on-site parking.

NOTE: This property sits on the cove side of the Island, and later in the summer the water level can drop & recede based on previous snow levels and use. Please note that there is no wifi or cable TV available at the cabin. There is a TV, with a VCR/DVD player and a movie selection. Cable TV and wifi is available at the Lakeside Lodge should you wish. We have set the cabin up as a way to unplug, relax and enjoy. Cell phones do work at the cabin should you need them.
Make yourself comfortable in this vacation home, which features a fireplace and a Smart TV. There's a private balcony. A kitchen is outfitted with a refrigerator, an oven, and a stovetop.

Great trip

We really enjoyed our time. House was perfect for our family of 5. Lake was great and the cove was nice and quiet for my kids. The power to the house was accidentally cut as part of nearby construction and we had our night without power reimbursed. This was much appreciated.

Close to West Yellowstone

The Location was good to explore Yellowstone from the West gate. Overall we enjoyed our stay. The Kitchen was well stocked. It was nice to have a washer and dryer. Lots of sleeping quarters. We managed fine with one bathroom for 4 adults. The water in the shower was warm and had great water pressure. It is unfortunate the water level in the lake was so low in September. The description noted this, but if I were to book again, I would choose differently based on this plus the cost of this home per night, service fee's and cleaning fee. Though the home looks clean on the surface, it could use a deep clean. There was a layer of dust on one of the window sills by the couch that I cleaned off and there were things forgotten and left under the bed and the clothing rack in the bedroom from previous guests along with many crumbs and food particles under under the couch. I normally don't get on the floor to look, but we had misplaced our phone charger and was looking for it. If you are allergic to dust, like myself and my husband make sure to bring your allergy medicine.

Perfect Location

This was the perfect location for our family to stay while we explored Yellowstone. The drive to the West Yellowstone Entrance was beautiful and we enjoyed looking for wildlife along the way. We loved the cabin so much that we actually chose to skip sightseeing one day and stayed around the cabin the entire day to play on the lake and explore the Island Park area. The cabin was well stocked, clean, and the inside is so charming.

Lakeside retreat

We had an amazing time in this beautiful lakeside home. We had 4 kids with us and they spent every minute they could in the lake and on the kayaks. The home was clean and we were grateful to have all the amenities. Bills island is like it’s own little oasis and the drive to the park was easy. Can’t wait to go back!

Great stay

We had a great stay. The cabin is well furnished and comfortable. Pots and pans are new and there's plenty of hooks everywhere , which was nice for drying our snow gear. There is a little bit of magic with the light switches, but we figured it out. We were there for the Thanksgiving weekend, there was plenty of snow, so we could enjoy many recreation opportunities the area has to offer.

Cute modern cabin, missing attention to detail

Overall we enjoyed our stay at The Bunkhouse. The location and proximity to Yellowstone can't be beat! Beds were very comfortable, linens were lush and nice. Decor and styling of the cabin is well done, but there are definitely a few minor things that need work. Upon arrival, there was a set of sheets in the washer that were soaking wet and smelled like mildew from sitting. The handles on the laundry doors are missing, there are only screwheads sticking out. The doors were also coated in a layer of dust. The dryer takes several cycles to get even a small load of towels dried. This was very frustrating the day before we left since we were asked to wash extra towels on our own. There is only one light outside leading to the beach, and the bulb is hanging by exposed wires. We replaced the bulb and the GFI had to be reset, but it's only a matter of time before it goes out again. While there is no central heating, the individual room heaters and the fireplace do a great job of warming up the cabin! It did take us a few minutes to figure things out since we didn't know about it ahead of time. Once we figured it out though we were very comfortable. The dilapidated treehouse on the beach is a serious safety hazard and needs to either be repaired or completely removed. Drain in the shower doesn't work, but it wasn't an issue. We knew about it going in, and the amazing water pressure in the shower more than made up for it! Thanks to previous reviews we knew that the hot water was limited, so we were able to space out our showers. The propane tank for the grill was completely empty when we arrived, so we filled it at Robin's Roost. Space in the cabin is VERY limited, and the extra microwave on the counter takes up A LOT of much needed space. Overall we were pleased with our stay, it was quiet and peaceful at the cabin. We loved waking up in the morning and watching the sunrise over the lake from the beach. Perfect way to start your day! Little things aside, we enjoyed our time here.

The cabin is located on Bill’s Island and the perfect distance away from the hustle and bustle of Yellowstone. It was nice to go to the park but then stay in peace and serenity away from the crowds. My kids loved the sleeping loft and my husband and I loved the views. The property management was helpful and friendly . I would highly recommend this cabin!

Beautiful place to stay! Kids loved the upstairs, especially that they could sleep in while the adults were able to wake up and enjoy their coffee and sunrise. Would have loved to be able to open the front door with a screen door, just for more of the amazing fresh pine air! Great vacation to Yellowstone!

Perfect get-a-way

Everything about this place was great. We stayed at several locations over the course of our vacation and no other place was as well stocked and comfortable as this was. Just about every amenity you can think of was provided. Everything was high quality from the pots/pans to the towels and sheets. We would have stayed here for the entire trip if we had the choice. The only thing I would change if it were possible would be to have an extra bathroom. We knew there was only one going into it, but coordinating bathroom use between eight people was a little challenging. Everything else was a perfect fit and made us feel right at home. The biggest hits were the dock and the interior decorating. The kids loved swimming around the dock and catching crawdads and minnows. We brought our own kayaks and life-jackets, but used the ones supplied as well. We were a little worried about the shared beach/dock, but enjoyed the neighbors and got a-long great. The great part about the location on the lake is that you are tucked back in a corner and don't get all the boat/jet ski traffic that you do in other locations. We never had to worry about the kids getting run over! The cabin has been updated with a little bit of a modern flair while still keeping the rustic cabin feel. Seating was plentiful and comfortable. A good stock of DVDs gave us a nice option for a movie night without the need of streaming. The shower head had a little too much flow and overwhelms the drain a little bit, but nothing to be worried about. We saw some concerns over parking space, but there was plenty to go around for us with two min vans. The other cabin even had several trucks with UTVs without issue. In the future this will most definitely be our go-to location when we return!

Just a 30 minute, picturesque drive from West Yellowstone and the gate. The BunkHouse had everything we needed!

A perfect holiday

Our experience in the bunkhouse was the perfect holiday! This lakeside cabin comes with all of the detail, inside and out, that made our stay a joy! The cabin has an updated, and lovely decor. It is well stocked and included the "extras" which made our stay enjoyable. We used the games with our grandchildren, kitchen essentials, kayaks and life vests, firewood for the many evening campfires and even the sunglasses that were hanging on the hooks! The lake was and pristine perfect for canoeing, kayaking, paddle boarding, swimming and even rental of the SeaDoo jet skis. We have not rented jet skis in our lifetime and it was a definite crowd pleaser in our family! Rent this location and you are certain to be accommodated by Jessica and have a delightful holiday!
