Island Park Cabin | Henry's Fork Retreat, stunning river views, footpath to river

4 Bedroom Cabin in Island Park

Cabin at Henry's Fork. 4.6 wooded acres, treasured quiet retreat on the world famous Henry's Fork of the Snake River. Wildlife is plentiful along the river, and in nearby water fowl preserves, which is a rare opportunity to enjoy viewing wildlife right at the cabin and it's pristine, quiet setting surrounded by Forest Service land, when the crowds at Yellowstone National Park during peak summer months for visitors make wildlife viewing more difficult. Four bedrooms, two bathrooms, small, simple cabin built in 1978. Just 1400 square feet, on 4.6 private wooded acres of lodgepole pine, and wild flowers. Amazing river views from the wall of windows facing east to the river, and from the main level and east bedroom decks. free Wifi. Access to the river is north of the cabin 50 feet, a simple, old foot path through the trees, north of the ancient lava flow. More information in the cabin handbook, about current river conditions, boat access points near by, and the surrounding forest service land perfect for wildlife viewing amongst the native wild flowers and water fowl preserves. No hunting allowed. Please respect the pristine setting, and quiet neighbors. For boat and canoe river access use an established boat launch nearby. The river bank is about 200 feet away from the cabin. New Yakisugi method deck overlooking the river built in 2025,
Yakisugi method of preserving wood. contractor trained in Japan. Yakisugi is a traditional Japanese method of preserving wood by charring its surface with fire. This sustainable technique creates a carbonized layer that makes wood naturally resistant to fire, rot, insects, and UV damage while providing a deep, textured aesthetic. after treating the surface of the wood, loose char is carefully brushed off and wood is washed and sealed. Long process but best for the environment in forested areas.
New floors, new carpet, new natural stone fireplace surround. New drywall in main living area. We enjoy hosting guests who respect the simple peace and quiet of the setting at Henry's Fork as much as we do. Three bedrooms have queen mattresses, two are Serta Perfect Sleepers with memory foam toppers, the third is a Serta icomfort with a memory foam topper. Twin bunk bed in the fourth bedroom.

Please keep all trash, especially scented items or food related items, bagged securely to contain odors and food smells, in the bear proof garbage bins provided, away from the cabin. Do not leave food wrappers or scented items outside unattended. Please read full bathroom descriptions and see photos before booking. Main level bath has full size tub and shower, standard size. We have based four bedroom cabin nightly rates on only one full size shower because upstairs bathroom shower head is low, best for children's baths (small tub) or for adults, seated showers. On our acrage there is also one two person Canoe and three kayaks (singles, two adult, one child size). For the best learning experience and expert knowledge, hire a guide.

Please leave shoes on the rug provided at the door. Overnight lows remain in the 50s all summer long. Most guests prefer open windows to enjoy the fresh mountain air. Upstairs bedrooms also have AC installed. We had a problem with a guest accidentally opening the old small chimney door. We sealed the old chimney door, converted to propane, and disinfected carefully. Then professionally cleaned. Has been disinfected and cleaned several times since then. Please make sure doors are not left open, store food carefully and clean up spills immediately. If you have disabled or wheel chair dependent in your group, or if you struggle at all with stairs, please be aware that there are interior stairs built in the 70s, (old OSHA standards for rise and run) There are two bedrooms on the main level. We recommend using only the main level, for those with mobility issues or those who feel unsteady climbing stairs.

Summary: Our host, Linda, was very gracious and accommodating. The cabin and all the rooms were very clean. The kitchen was stocked well. Overall, it was a great location for visiting both Yellowstone and Jackson Hole areas. The views of the river couldn’t be beat!! We would highly recommend this cabin!
