About this property

Beautiful cabin nestled in the whispering Aspens of Island Park, Idaho. 5 STAR!

We're excited for the new year, and anxious to see how beautiful our new Pendleton quilts and bedding will look. Beautiful, serene, wooded, private area, all for your enjoyment ! The property is located at 4787 Pinon Street, just off Highway 20, West on Redrock Road, 1/4 mile, then turn south on Pinon Street, 1st home on your right, in the Aspen Ridge Subdivision, only 17 miles from Yellowstone National Park! The main floor has a ping pong table, foosball table, elliptical, big screen TV with Dish Network-Prime Video, and just outside the sliding glass door window is where the forest begins. Sit outside on the outdoor porch off the primary bedroom and enjoy a cup of coffee surrounded by the beauty of nature, or start a fire at the fire pit and enjoy an evening of roasting marshmallows. A small fridge, a beautiful new large, microwave oven, toaster/convection oven, air-fryer, coffee pot and an outdoor bar-b-q, are all provided for your use. Upstairs you will find 2 bedrooms, one with a queen bed, and the other with a queen and a king bed. On this floor is also the bathroom with a walk-in shower. *** Not a shared rental, all of this is included in your stay at the lodge.

Guided fly fishing trips can be arranged through the property owner, my son and I guide for Eagle Ridge Ranch. Private waters or the famed ‘Henrys Lake’ are close by if a guided fly fishing trip is on your agenda. Call 208-917-4422 to book a fly fishing trip to Henrys Lake or private waters. We specialize in teaching new fly fishers, and have all the gear ready for your use.

“Moose is Loose Lodge” t-shirts, caps, hoodies, stocking caps and jackets are for sale at the lodge.

All guests staying at the lodge are given special discounts on beautiful wildlife paintings that are placed on the walls of the lodge. Tamara, your host, is an accomplished artist that shares her art throughout the lodge.

We take an extraordinary effort to make sure your stay at our lodge is an experience of a lifetime. From the fresh baked cookies on arrival to the meticulous detail in cleanliness, we aim to please!

Four years of making the lodge available and 99.5% of our guests have given our lodge a 5 STAR RATING!

Book early! We filled all of our dates last year and hope to see you at the lodge this summer!

Beautiful and Cozy
The woodwork in this lodge is amazing. Close enough to Yellowstone for a short drive and far enough to be very private.

Nice place when you want to get away from hustle bustle
Loved the peace and quiet. Beds were comfortable. Hosts are excellent and thought of everything to keep us comfortable. The place is far from grocery and gas. The stairs were a little steep so we left the suitcases downstairs. That's the only inconvinience.

5 Stars..not kidding
Book your stay with these folks. We had such a comfortable stay. I won't post super flowery descriptions because i would hate my review to be interpreted as an Ad. But I really could. 15 minutes from West Yellowstone. The hosts will accommodate anything you need..just ask. Otherwise they'll leave you alone. And if you like fishing or hiking..they'll point you in the right direction...or they'll guide for you. I'd recommend the guide service for a fishing trip..you'll see. Oh..and there really is warm cookies and Moose..unbelievable.

Host profile image
Tammy and I have owned property here on Aspen Ridge for 35 years. We own a larger cabin right next to our guest/rental cabin they we decided to put on the rental market. We are here to make your stay as restful and enjoyable as possible. The "Moose is Loose Lodge' is located in one of the most beautiful, peaceful, serene area's of Island Park, Idaho. Tam and I are retired and spend a lot of our time landscaping and beautifying our property. You will find the cabin extremely clean and well maintained for your enjoyment.

Why they chose this property

The property is located in the heart of some of the most beautiful country in Island Park, Idaho. If you have questions on where to hike, what to see in or out of the park, we have lived in this area for many years and would be glad to share some ideas for your biking, hiking, rafting, fishing and exploration.

Recently, three young adults from throughout the U.S. decided to meet up at the Moose is Loose Lodge and do some hiking in Yellowstone. They are frequent travelers, and they told us on several occasions that this was the best VRBO they had ever stayed at. On their review they said, "my friends and I couldn't stop talking about how great this VRBO is."

Many guests come with the idea of full days exploring in the park, only to find the lodge so comfortable and the area so fun and relaxing, that they tend to spend a significant time just hanging out at the lodge. Many of the comments in our guest book say this has been their favorite VRBO stay! Playing ping pong, watching movies with the family, roasting marshmallows or seeing the moose up close and personal are favorites!

Tam and I pride ourselves in having the lodge extremely clean and comfortable for our guests.

What makes this property unique

You'll love the swing out back to read a book or just enjoy nature. The moose frequent the cabin area quite often, and it's not uncommon to see them standing outside the back window, eating the fire weed. This isn't one of a bunch of small cabins for rent, you will find it a very peaceful, and relaxing environment.
