There will be minimum of $50 charged if we have to rewire the electrical systems.
*Blocked Toilets: We test all toilets prior to your arrival to ensure they are in working order. If you arrive at cabin and have a problem please contact us when you arrive not when you are departing. Sewer/septic systems are fragile and can not handle feminine hygiene items and large amounts of toilet paper. These items will block toilets and sewer lines.
*Rental of More than One Cabin for Larger Groups:
If you are renting more than one cabin to accommodate your large family gathering, please do not move items from one cabin to another. This includes kitchen items, towels etc. A $20 an hour fee will be charged if we have to track down and switch items from one cabin to the other.
Guests moving between the cabins will respect the neighborhood and refrain from loud noise and boisterous behavior on the roads; particularly late at night.
Guests will keep in mind at all times that there are neighbors who treasure the peace and tranquility of this serene area, who also value access to their driveways, and who are quick to complain if our guests create problems.
Guests from multiple cabins will not spend the bulk of their rental time at a cabin other than the cabin in which they are sleeping. Having people from one cabin spend most of their time at another cabin unfairly burdens that cabin, creates a risk of sewer/septic backup, and creates a risk of neighbor complaints.
*Cabin Parking:
Please park ALL your vehicles, towing trailers, boats, snowmobiles, and ATV’s on the cabin property.
If you do not have enough room, please let us know and we will find an additional parking for you.
DO NOT park on the side of the road and please don’t block any accesses to other properties. Fremont County Sheriff will be called if parked on any public roadway.

*Weather and Water Levels in Lakes and Streams:
-We can not control the weather and the storm systems. Our temperatures range from 35 degrees to 80 degrees in the summer and 30 degrees below zero to 40 degrees in the winter.
-We try to keep the driveways plowed and decks shoveled before each renter, but sometimes the storms do surprise us.
-Fremont County plows Highway 20 first and then the side county roads.
-Each subdivision has a private snow removal company on contract and they will plow the roads per their contract with the homeowners.
-Very few cabins have air-conditioners. Ceiling fans and windows open at night will help cool the cabins down during the day in the summer.
*Be Aware Of Water Levels: WATERFRONT CABINS – Guests bringing BOATS and/or WATER TOYS! Island Park Reservoir water levels start going down usually mid August but is NOT uncommon to see levels declining anytime in early-mid July. Water levels can also depend on how much snow we have received the previous winter. The reservoir is used for farming in the lower elevations. Please be aware of water levels when renting a cabin with a private dock or waterfront subdivisions if water sports are why you chose the property you are renting. We do not issue refunds for water levels being low as this is out of our control. You can still bring your water toys as there are many lakes and rivers in and around the Island Park and Yellowstone areas that may have sufficient water for the use of your water craft. Water levels typically do not decline in other areas like Island Park Reservoir does.
*Rights Reserved -Adjustments: Island Park Reservations reserves the right to offer alternative accommodations without legal or monetary ramifications to Island Park Reservations.
