Arriving at our cabin outside the east entrance to Yellowstone

We arrived at the cabin we rented shortly after 4 pm on Labor Day.

Our home for a week

Henry Lake can be seen in the distance

The cabin is located in Island Park, ID, about a 15 minute drive to the western entrance to Yellowstone National Park. We found it by using the Vacation Rentals By Owner (VRBO) web site. Our cabin, plus its "sister" cabin, are run by Two Top Trading, a family run operation. We couldn't have been more pleased. The place was spotless, spacious, and nicely decorated. The owners seemed to have thought of everything. Betty and I enjoyed coming "home" after our very long days exploring Yellowstone. It was also great to have use of a washer and dryer after being on the road for 2 weeks. You can check out the rental listing in VRBO here.

Below are a series of interior photos of the cabin. I should have taken these on our arrival, but failed to do so. Instead these were taken as we were heading out the door. You will see two of the beds unmade since the owners ask you to do this so they know which linens have to be cleaned. Also the laundry basket is there with the other dirty linens from our stay. Otherwise it looks pretty much like we found it.
