Grinning Bear | Cabin Near Yellowstone + Fire Pit

Welcome to Grinning Bear, a cozy rustic cabin tucked among the pines of Island Park — just 40 minutes from Yellowstone’s West Entrance! 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.

*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.

Nice little 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.
