Island Park Cabin

Here are some pictures from the rental cabin we stayed at in Island Park. The cabin had 5 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. It was really well furnished and stocked with just about everything you could want in a rental vacation home - especially in the kitchen. There were plenty of tables and chairs for everyone and there was a nice game room (former garage) where the kids hung out most of the time. They had a Nintendo Wii as well as an Xbox 360 and a ping pong table. There was a good size living room/gathering area and the kitchen was good sized. We could have used a little more room for the eating area but we were able to make do. There were super tall lofts in 3 of the 4 bedrooms upstairs and some of the kids enjoyed sleeping in there (although M&M claims that it got really hot up there at night). DH & I took the master suite which had a huge king size bed and plenty of room for kids on the floor. MJ thought it was really fun to sleep in a sleeping bag on the floor - but we had an incredibly hard time getting her to stay in it and go to sleep. Since she still sleeps in a crib at home she thought it was so much fun that she could get in and out of the sleeping bag and open and close the door over and over again and try and escape from the room! The master bath was kind of weird because it had a bathtub but no shower. DH and I used the shower down the hall and MJ is the only one that tried out the bathtub. I think that besides having no shower in the master bath, my only complaint with the place was that there wasn't much of a yard at all for the kids to play in. (Plus the construction going on in the street didn't help either.) Since we spent two very full days in Yellowstone it turned out just fine not having a yard, but it would have been something nice to have if we had stayed there longer. (And the game room helped a ton as far as entertaining the kids while we were there.)
