Great location. We went to Yellowstone a couple of days, biked, kayaked and rode horses in the Island Park area. The Bear Den was a great fit for our family. So nice to have a table we all could sit around together. We loved having s’mores in the fire pit and the outdoor games

This property is so fun, with plenty of bedrooms and bathrooms as well as living areas to accommodate the large group to be together. The cute little carved bears throughout the house was so charming. The response to any texts were timely and cheerfully given. We would absolutely recommend this property to a large group wanting a magical time together. One of our favorite VRBOs ever!

Was exactly what was listed on the website.
Very clean, well stocked with all things needed for a large group. Very close to West Yellowstone for easy access. I would highly recommend this for your next vacation destination. Every team member that we spoke with was wonderful.

We had a group of 18, ages 8 months to 50+. The house was accommodating to everyone. It was perfect for our group, plenty of room inside and outside. The house was clean and had everything you needed. Great house

We enjoyed our stay at The Bear Den. The house was beautiful and fit our large family perfectly. Close enough to Yellowstone and other attractions. We were pleased and will definitely return.

Property was as described, photos of location a little deceiving. I expected the location to be a bit more remote and private.

Words fail to express how extraordinary this house is. Bear and Lisa were awesome hosts and made sure we had everything we needed from start to finish. Our group of 28 had a wonderful time in the Bear Den and Cub House. Close enough to the park and West Yellowstone for great day trips. Remote enough to feel like we were away from it all.

We enjoyed our stay at this beautiful home, and many activities were nearby (raft, UTV, etc.). It's only 30 mins from YNP West Entrance. The host was responsive to all our questions regarding the property. Excellent place for kids to hang out - lots of bunk beds, and every room has its own bathroom. The kitchen has all the essentials and much more items.

We flew home and haven’t begun to unpack our bags. However, we’ve been unpacking memories from Idaho to Atlanta. There are not enough superlatives in my vocabulary to adequately describe this beautifully appointed home or the wonderful caring and attentive hosts. We’ve stayed in many VBRO homes, but this was largest with9 bedrooms, 7 baths beautifully artwork. The kitchen had everything from huge Instapot, every size of pot and pan imaginable, 2 refrigerators and even a Bosche dishwasher. And, I forgot to mention 2 huge clothes washers and dryers.
Lisa and Bear were excellent hosts and even brought us warm, out of the oven, coffee cake! They responded to questions within minutes and had great suggestions for daily sightseeing. We would go back in a heart beat and anyone looking for a great place to vacation should check it out. They also have The Cub House on the same property.

Beautiful Cabin
We were delighted with the cabin. It accommodated our large, diverse group very well. The cabin is very well stocked. Family members commented on the cleanliness of the cabin and how comfortable the beds were. The owners were very responsive to our needs. We were very happy with this choice.

Spectacular Cabin!
This amazing property that has been perfectly renovated and is sparkling clean! It is apparent that our incredible hosts, Lisa and Bear, have put their heart and souls into this property and have thought of everything including high quality linens, towels and a well-stocked kitchen. We loved sitting on the porch and enjoying the amazing views, gathering for meals at the beautiful dining table, and hanging out in the evening around the fire pit. We had a wonderful stay and will be back! I highly recommend The Bear Den!!!

Love the property.

The place was better than the pictures. We had our family there and it accommodated us all, ages 2 to 81. It was large enough that we didn’t feel crowded.
The hosts are amazing. Quick responses to all our concerns. And a welcome package of all the ingredients for s’mores.
All in all, wonderful.

Great Family Reunion
We couldn't have chosen a better place to have our 2021 Family Reunion! The weather in Island Park was very cold and raining . We were happy to see the cabin was large enough to hold everyone and all adults had their own bedroom and bath plus all the youth and children had beds and had a great time together! We loved the long table where we could eat together and play several different board games and still be together! The pool table was great for the youth but also several of the adults! The play set out back was enjoyed by our little ones! The kitchen was well supplied. We would definitely rent this property again!

The property is absolutely beautiful with views of the mountains in the distance. The home is gorgeous and very well-maintained and updated. Randy and Lisa were great at helping us if needed and to answer questions. It was large enough to house our 30+ with room to spare! Definitely a place we would return to time and again. Close to west entrance of Yellowstone.

Family Reunion
We had a great time at this property. There were some minor glitches here and there but communication with Lisa was great and things were taken care of very quickly. We played games, ate lots of food, had s'mores at the fire bowl and did lots of family competitions of baseball and cornhole. Had a great time.
Our only major glitch was that when we made our reservation, it included the building out back that had 2 more bedrooms. We received word in May that those bedrooms were no longer part of the rental but by then it was too late to relocate. We had plenty of beds (even had extras) but the loss of the bedrooms meant that a couple of our adult children had to bunk in the same room. It wasn't a huge issue but it was an issue due to lack of personal privacy. It would have been nice to have received some compensation for that change in the venue.
Other than that, we highly recommend this location and would say that Randy and Lisa were great hosts.

We have a large group that gathers for New Years every year and we have finally found a house that we all agree we'd stay in again! It wasn't the most luxurious place we've stayed, but the layout and location are perfect. The kitchen has every possible appliance, plenty of dishes for a large group and tons of seating. The numerous bathrooms were a HUGE hit and every room was well furnished. We also loved the large entryway with tons of benches and hooks and an extra refridge. The linens could be updated and the kitchen could have been cleaner, but those weren't deal-breakers. We'd definitely stay here again.
