This all-wood retreat features an indoor fireplace, shelves of books and games, and warm, inviting spaces to unwind after a day outdoors. Relax on the porch, grill on the BBQ or Blackstone, and gather around the backyard fire pit - you might even spot a moose wondering nearby! Step into a classic log cabin filled with warmth and charm. Nearly every surface is natural wood, creating that true mountain-cabin feel. Curl up by the crackling electric fireplace with a hot drink, flip through a good book, or enjoy game nights in the cozy living area. The kitchen is stocked with essentials for cooking, and the bedrooms offer peaceful sleep after a day in Yellowstone. Whether you\`re winding down inside or getting fresh mountain air outdoors, Grinning Bear is all about slowing down and savoring nature. Sleeping Arrangements: 3 Bedrooms | 3 Beds | Sleeps 6 Bedroom 1: King Bed Bedroom 2: Queen Bed Bedroom 3: Queen Bed Features: \- Fireplace & rustic cabin interior \- Lots of books & family games \- Fully stocked kitchen \- Peaceful forest setting amongst nature \- Smart TV \- BBQ & Blackstone grill \- Outdoor wood-burning fire pit Guests will have private access to the entire cabin & outdoor fire pit during their stay. The two closest major airports are Bozeman, MT and Idaho Falls, Idaho. There is also a small West Yellowstone Airport. Please note there is no central air conditioning, however there is a portable unit in the primary bedroom. \*Roads are maintained but the wind and snow in the fall, winter and Spring can be unpredictable. We HIGHLY recommend an AWD vehicle in the winter and shoulder months. Note: Some homes in this area may experience a slight discoloration in the water due to naturally high iron content—this is normal for the region. This home is equipped with a water filtration system, including a softener, a sediment filter, a UV light, and a carbon filter. Some guests choose to use bottled water for drinking during their stay in Island Park, which is totally fine and a common preference. ## Property amenities ### Internet - Available in the cabin: Free WiFi ### Parking and transport - Car recommended - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Hob - Ice maker - Microwave - Oven - Refrigerator - Spices - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 1 bathroom - Hair dryer - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Fireplace ### Entertainment - Books - Games - Smart TV ### Outdoor areas - Barbecue grill - Firepit ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoke-free property ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - First aid kit - Fire extinguisher ## Similar properties ![Exterior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/101000000/100450000/100443800/100443769/505c96b7.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Lakefront,Firepit,Grill,Kayaks,Private Dock,20m Yellowstone,Sleeps 6, Henry's Hatch Cabin Island Park - Kitchen - Washing machine - Dryer - Free Wi-Fi 9.8 Exceptional 8 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-01-05&endDate=2026-01-06&selected=100443769&PinnedHotelID=100443769&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Exterior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/39000000/38270000/38261500/38261497/ce0d6ece.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Balcony, 20 min to Yellowstone, Sled/ATV Spot Island Park - Kitchen - Washing machine - Dryer - Pet-friendly 8.0 Very good 9 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-01-05&endDate=2026-01-06&selected=38261497&PinnedHotelID=38261497&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Interior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/56000000/55080000/55078200/55078123/bbf09b2e.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Cabin in the Woods.

Feels secluded from big towns and a lot of neighbors. It's a little over an hours from Yellowstone entrance. There is a small bit of gravel to get to the house. Check-in was easy. They texted to make sure we had everything we need. Great experience, would definitely stay there again. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/9b1fbfcd-f720-4c8b-aeca-a4e000c9822b-1755367308850.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/a9c725cf-e545-4ac7-9569-310f10e4d378-1755367310356.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### tknights2009 Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2025 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Timber Ridge Lodge and Waterpark](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Lake-Geneva-Hotels-Timber-Ridge-Lodge-And-Waterpark.h1043867.Hotel-Information) > > [Yosemite Southgate Hotel & Suites](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Oakhurst-Hotels-Yosemite-Southgate-Hotel-Suites.h3650.Hotel-Information) > > [Wuksachi Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sequoia-National-Park-Hotels-Wuksachi-Lodge.h893730.Hotel-Information) > > [Cartoon Network Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Lancaster-Hotels-Cartoon-Network-Hotel.h50407269.Hotel-Information) > > [Bayshore Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Traverse-City-Hotels-Bayshore-Resort.h34264.Hotel-Information) > > [Fairmont Orchid](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kamuela-Hotels-Fairmont-Orchid.h25190.Hotel-Information) > > [Aspen Select](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Rochester-Hotels-Aspen-Select.h12245240.Hotel-Information) > > [Anglers Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Island-Park-Hotels-Anglers-Lodge.h1860670.Hotel-Information) > > [Travelodge by Wyndham Winchester](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Winchester-Hotels-Travelodge-By-Wyndham-Winchester.h9600.Hotel-Information) > > [Hyatt Regency Santa Clara](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Santa-Clara-Hotels-Hyatt-Regency-Santa-Clara.h4313.Hotel-Information) > > [Sea Crest Beach Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/North-Falmouth-Hotels-Sea-Crest-Beach-Hotel.h25567.Hotel-Information) > > [The View Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kayenta-Hotels-The-View-Hotel.h59418009.Hotel-Information) > > [Isla Bella Beach Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Marathon-Hotels-Isla-Bella-Beach-Resort-Spa.h24101706.Hotel-Information) > > [Anvil Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Jackson-Hole-Hotels-Anvil-Hotel.h894210.Hotel-Information) > > [Yosemite View Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/El-Portal-Hotels-Yosemite-View-Lodge.h576660.Hotel-Information) > > [Maui Coast Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kihei-Hotels-Maui-Coast-Hotel.h28645.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Express & Suites Price by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Price-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Express-Suites-Price.h9253345.Hotel-Information) > > [La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Myrtle Beach - N Kings Hwy](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Myrtle-Beach-Hotels-La-Quinta-Inn-Suites-By-Wyndham-Myrtle-Beach-N-Kings-Hwy.h6849.Hotel-Information) > > [Baymont by Wyndham Mishawaka South Bend Area](https://www.expedia.co.uk/South-Bend-Hotels-Baymont-By-Wyndham-Mishawaka-South-Bend-Area.h1976.Hotel-Information) > > [Solterra Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Orlando-Hotels-Solterra-Resort.h18526478.Hotel-Information) > > [Comfort Inn & Suites Napoleon](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Defiance-Hotels-Comfort-Inn-Suites.h200743.Hotel-Information) > > [Bar N Ranch](https://www.expedia.co.uk/West-Yellowstone-Hotels-Bar-N-Ranch.h11548135.Hotel-Information) > > [La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Cocoa Beach Oceanfront](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cocoa-Beach-Hotels-La-Quinta-Inn-Suites-By-Wyndham-Cocoa-Beach-Oceanfront.h894002.Hotel-Information) > > [Hyatt Place Titusville / Kennedy Space Center](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Titusville-Hotels-Hyatt-Place-Titusville-Space-Center.h44354265.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Key Largo by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Key-Largo-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Key-Largo.h7230.Hotel-Information) > > [Gurney's Montauk Resort & Seawater Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Montauk-Hotels-Gurneys-Montauk-Resort-Seawater-Spa.h7033726.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Marguerite Anaheim/Garden Grove, Trademark Collection by Wyndham](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Garden-Grove-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Express-Suites-Garden-Grove-Anaheim-South.h917954.Hotel-Information) > > [Riviera Resort Palm Springs](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Palm-Springs-Hotels-Margaritaville-Resort-Palm-Springs.h26011.Hotel-Information) > > [Balmoral Resort Florida](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Haines-City-Hotels-Balmoral-Resort-Florida.h19447044.Hotel-Information) ---
