We stayed in the West Yellowstone Cabin in the Island Park Village Resort with nine people that included our new in-laws from Italy. This was in a very quiet neighborhood with open space on 3 sides that made us feel like we were really out in the country (the only noise was some cows mooing in the distance). Yet, we were only a stone's throw from the Henry's Fork River, about 10 minutes to Henry's Lake, and 20 min. to West Yellowstone. Really the best of all worlds as we find West Yellowstone to be crowded and noisy during the summer season. Island Park is a great basecamp for exploring everything in this area.There were plenty of rooms and bed options (some double beds, some bunk beds, some private rooms, some open rooms). The two large bathrooms each easily accommodated two people (or more) at the same time. The young adults stayed in the bunk beds and said they were great, and the older adults took the two private bedrooms. Everyone was happy and comfortable with the sleeping arrangements.The kitchen and dinning area were large enough to easy handle our group. It came with plenty of cooking appliances and utensils (the only thing it didn't have was a waffle iron, so we brought our own). There were some seasonings and such left by other guests, so generally plan to bring your own condiments, syrup, jam, etc. There is a general store 5 min. away in case you forget anything.The young adults very enjoyed the hot tub, but it is right next to one of the bedrooms, so plan accordingly. The upstairs bathroom is also directly over this same room, so expect to hear someone showering or flushing the toilet (this didn't both us). The fire pit was also a nice amenity for making S'mores, and the view of the stars in the evening was fantastic.Overall, we were very happy and would stay here again.
