Island Park, Idaho · Monthly Stays Nov 1 — April 1

Live in Yellowstone country this winter

A fully furnished cabin in the heart of Island Park — surrounded by 800+ miles of snowmobile trails, 30 minutes from Yellowstone, half the cost of nightly rates. One monthly rate, all in.

From $1,400/month — all in

The Math

Mountain living without the hotel rates

Nightly rates make sense for vacation. Monthly rates make sense for living. Same cabin — about half the cost.

Built For

Built for real winters in real mountains

Whether you’re riding all season, traveling for work, or escaping the cold somewhere else — this is the easy way to live in Island Park.

Snowmobilers

Park your sled out front. 800+ miles of groomed trails leave from Island Park — Big Springs, Two-Top, Continental Divide, Yellowstone gates. You’re already on the network.

Yellowstone Travelers

West Yellowstone entrance is 30 minutes. Winter snowcoach tours, bison herds, geysers without summer crowds. Stay a month, see it all.

Traveling Professionals

13-week travel nurse contracts (EIRMC and Madison Memorial are 60 min). Furnished, utilities included, fiber wifi fast enough for video calls.

Snowbirds

Trade your cold for our cold — but with cabins, hot tubs, and a pizza shop down the way. Stay a month, two months, or all season.

Important to know: Monthly stays are a furnished housing offering — like a furnished apartment lease — not a hotel stay. You handle your own day-to-day (cooking, laundry, picking up). We provide the cabin, all utilities, wifi, end-of-stay cleaning, and full property access. No hotel logistics, no surprises.
