This cabin was very well maintained, clean, spacious, and fit our family of 16 very well. There was plenty of sleeping area and privacy. It was a nice, beautiful drive to Yellowstone for a day trip and plenty of fishing, golfing, 4wheeling, and outdoor adventures in the area. My only advice to the owners might be for a cabin that sleeps 16 for five days, the supply of paper towels and toilet paper was way too low. Luckily I brought some from home BUT as much as you pay for this size of cabin, there should be more. Also, having to wash all the towels before checking out at 11am was a little unreasonable. That really should be the responsibility of the cleaning crew. Over all, we would definately rent again if these two issues would be resolved.

We had everything we needed for a relaxing and stress free stay. Communication with the owner was great! Plenty of linens, dishes, seating... for 15 people. Very clean!! We used this as our home base for going into Yellowstone. The drive to the park entrance was just over 30 minutes and worked out very well. Thanks!

We had so much fun here! The cabin was very comfortable and it felt like home. Plenty of room, good layout for bedrooms and main areas. We enjoyed having plenty of towels and dishes to accommodate the clan. The decor was so rustic and artsy too - really liked it. All had fun in the hot tub. Thanks for providing a great place for us to enjoy the area of fishing, hiking and West Yellowstone. A keeper for our next trip to the area! The Haworth Family

the house is a great place to stay if you want to visit yellowstone national park, rooms are spacious, beds are huge and comfortable, which are perfect to rest after a whole day tour in the park.

My first time to Island Park/Yellowstone and staying at the Lost River Retreat was a perfect fit. This was a trip/family reunion, 8 adults and 7 children. Never did we feel like there wasn’t plenty of room. Kitchen space is great, beds are really nice and comfortable, common spaces are really big, the wrap around porch/grandchildren race track is large and has a great view from any point, bathrooms are large. The whole cabin is well equipped from kitchen needs, extra bedding, very nice towel’s, washer and dryer, hair dryer, TV’s , DVD/VHS & cable, foosball & hockey games, & outdoor grill. Garage is spacious and has two picnic tables for deck dinning. There is a fire pit and hot tub but we just didn’t get time to use them .. but I will say the hot tub looked well maintained and very nice. Our family loved the time we spent here .. the view of the stars is amazing. Would recommend this property to anyone planning to stay in the area. Management and owners are great to work with … this was an overall really nice experience. Having to take your garbage to the dump each day was no big deal, easy, and the staff there even were pleasant. The only thing I would have liked to see/have had was dressers in each room. But not having them, living out of suitcases was not terrible, closets are huge. I can say without hesitation the thing I disliked most is that we couldn’t stay longer!

Lost River Retreat What a beautiful 'cabin', more like mansion! Stayed here a week during July. Weather was warm. We rafted Henry's fork of the Snake River. It was so fun! The beauty of nature surrounding this cabin is fantastic! We saw moose, osprey, and hawks. We hiked all over the area near the cabin, down to the river, and lake. We took a short drive to see incredible waterfalls and another day, took the short 30 minute drive into Yellowstone National Park. Everything we could imagine and possibly need was provided in the cabin, except for food of course. One of the weekends there was a craft fair of local artists. Great nature paintings and crafts of many kinds, prices were very reasonable. You should stay here and visit, you won't be disappointed. Thanks for letting us stay and use your beautiful home!
