Henry's Fork Riverside Retreat

Coming soon. Trout fishing cabin at Henry's Fork. 4.6 wooded acres, treasured family fly fishing retreat on the world famous Henry's Fork of the Snake River. Four bedrooms, two bathrooms, small cabin built in 1978. Just 1400 square feet, on 4.6 private wooded acres of lodgepole pine, and wild flowers. Amazing river views from the wall of windows facing east to the river, and from the main level and east bedroom decks. River access, the access path is north of the cabin 50 feet. The path to the river is about 200 feet long. Fly fishing from the banks or in the river (waist deep most spots) just 200 feet from the cabin. New floors, new carpet, new natural stone fireplace surround. Bathrooms have updated shower surround and cabinets. New drywall in main living area. We enjoy hosting guests who respect the simple peace and quiet of the setting at Henry's Fork as much as we do. Three bedrooms have queen mattresses, two are Serta Perfect Sleepers with memory foam toppers, the third is a Serta icomfort with a memory foam topper. Twin bunk bed in the fourth bedroom. Bear proof garbage bins provided. Please keep all trash, especially scented items or food related, in the bear proof garbage bins provided, away from the cabin. Do not leave food wrappers or scented items outside unattended. Please read full bathroom descriptions and see photos before booking. Main level bath has full size tub and shower, standard size. We have based nightly rates on only one tub/shower because upstairs bathroom shower head is low, best for children's baths (small tub) or seated showers. On our acrage there is also one two person Canoe and three kayaks (singles, two adult, one child size) For the best learning experience and expert knowledge, hire a guide. Fly fishing guides and fly shops in the Island Park area have a long reputation of friendly service and exceptional knowledge. . . Fully equipped kitchen (bring your own food). Dishwasher, microwave, washer and dryer. Propane grill. New circle sawn Douglas fir floors with high quality German finish designed to look like bare wood and preserve and protect the wood's natural rustic texture and beauty. Please leave shoes on the rug provided at the door. We had a problem with a guest accidentally opening the old small chimney door. We sealed the old chimney door, converted to propane, and disinfected carefully. Then professionally cleaned. Has been disinfected and cleaned several times since then. Please make sure doors are not left open, store food carefully and clean up spills immediately. If you have disabled or wheel chair dependent in your group, or if you struggle at all with stairs, please be aware that there are stairs built in the 70s, (old OSHA standards for rise and run) There are two bedrooms on the main level.
Surrounded by geological sites and pristine wooded river frontage. . . . Yellowstone is just 45 minutes away, yet only 20 minutes to Dave's Jubilee, Ashton's fully stocked full service grocery store, to the south, and Ashton's 511 Main for amazing salads and sandwiches, or stop at Robin's Roost (now expanded to a full grocery store and renamed Sam Patch Co. Grocery and Sundries) for groceries and household items, to the north on the way to Yellowstone. World class dining and fly fishing expertise within walking/biking distance at Henry's Fork Lodge, fine dining just a ten minute walk up the road (by land). A drive along Mesa Falls Scenic Byway, to see Upper Mesa Falls, is breathtaking (off highway 20, just ten minutes north.) Also close by, Mac's Inn at Big Springs (remember to visit Jonny Sack's cabin on the spring) kayak, canoe, paddle board, raft rentals with a shuttle included; The Parlor (New York style Pizza and Icecream), Mac's Inn Playhouse (Yellowstone Playhouse at Island Park), Harriman State Park trail system, Island Park trail system, Island Park reservoir, Henry's Lake, all close by. To the south, off of Highway 20, are the St Anthony Sand Dunes and also further south is Yellowstone Bear World. A rare experience, to safely see grizzly, black bear, from inside your vehicle. Also kayak and boat rentals available close by in both Island Park and in Ashton. Locals enjoy Frost Top, classic drive in, 20 minute drive south, classic drive in menu and huckleberry shakes. When you go to Yellowstone don't forget to spend some time in West Yellowstone, the Grizzly and Wolf discovery center, Yellowstone Park Zipline, Playmill theater, the Imax, or try whitewater rafting on the Gallatin. So much to explore you will want to come back again soon. . . Enjoy the peace and quiet of 4.6 private acres at a world renowned destination for trout fishing. Updated photos to follow. No smoking, no pets. Limit is 7 adults, 8 guests total, and is strictly enforced. No parties, no events. Quiet fly fishing retreat. The neighbors and the pristine river setting and wildlife must be respected.

Amazing Views
We had a great stay with amazing views of Henry Fork River. We saw elk and mule deer feeding in the river from the house in the late evenings. It was about a 35-40 minute drive to Yellowstone depending on traffic, but it was a nice drive. The home was suitable for my husband and I along with our 22 year old daughter. The home was well equipped with everything we needed to make our stay enjoyable. Linda was amazing to work with. She always answered our questions immediately and was so sweet and kind. I would recommend this property to anyone with a small family. If we’re ever back in the area we will definitely stay in this charming cabin again.

We LOVED our stay in Idaho on the river. Linda was an amazing host, providing plenty of necessities at the cabin as well as advice on places to hike, tour, and where to watch fireworks! I highly recommend this cabin and would return to her location any chance we get!

Great house
This house was great had lots of room to move. We loved watching the marmets and the chipmunks. We also love sitting and watching out the big windows at the river and on the other side of the river. This house was very clean and well taking care of. We had a family emergency and was later getting to the house. She had us some jam and syrup wait for us. She was so kind to check up on us.

fishing henry' fork
great location for fishing the Henry' Fork. The view over the River is great. Some of us caught trout in the river below the house. A little bit of climb to get down to the river. Current is fast, but it is wadeable for kids over 16. House is fine. Great views. We spent most of our time in Sept out fishing though. We had good weather the entire week. Just one day of rain. It was a great trip for me and 4 of my grandsons

Great location
My family and I had a great stay here. Loved the seclusion, and being able to access the river so easily. The house was clean and stocked with anything we could possibly need. The centralized location made our trips to Yellowstone, Grand Tetons and Mesa Falls very easy. Linda answered any questions we had very quickly. Hoping this place is available on our next trip! I highly recommend!

Be clear on status of upstairs shower and bathroom description. toilet barely usable , shower not. Same with tv/wifi. All barley functional. Overpriced compared to comparable accommodations nearby and questionable fees on final bill. Additional charges? Admin fee? Cleaning fee? Service fee? All in addition to $$$.$$/ night. Felt pressured to have unit cleaned prior to checkout while already being charged for cleaning. Very nice location above the river.

Great location and super quiet
The property was great, kids loved playing outside and we enjoyed the river and the views. But I agree with other comments. the table and chairs don’t match the mountains also the corners of the table are sharp for smaller kids. As mine hit his head on it! But kids are kids. Still super nice place and still worth the stay! We had a mouse in the house experience!!! Which I went on got a trap and took care of it for future guests here. But I’ll still rate this property as a really fun and great place! The owner is super nice and easy to work with. And the cabin doesn’t get better views it’s a really awesome place to visit and relax! And also fishing is awesome has great river access

Quiet simplicity. Beautiful windows overlooking the Snake River. Great for wildlife viewing.
This simple house provided a great landing pad for the two days that we visited Yellowstone. We also recommend visiting Mesa Falls for a 2.5 mile hike and viewing of some powerful waterfalls downstream on the Snake. Comfortable beds with memory foam toppers and quality sheets and pillows.

Great possibilities
I think we were the first paying guests and it would have been better if the cabin work had been completed. The previous "guests'" left so much work for the house cleaning crew that they couldn't get it all done, so we had to do some cleaning. Linda was great and refunded the cleaning fee. The view from inside and from the deck is amazing. We spent many hours on the deck watching the river and wildlife. The deck is in great shape but some type of shade would make it even better. The inside floor is rough in some spots because it has not been fully finished yet but will be great when completed, I'm sure. The table and chairs are new (although a little out of character for the cabin, for me) and allowed six of us to enjoy our meals together, with a great view of the area. The master bedroom, bunk bed room, and main floor bath were mostly completed and very nice, although the closets were not usable because of construction material storage ( as were all the closets). The upstairs bedrooms and bath are not totally completed, I think, but all of the beds were comfortable and appear to be quite new. The bathroom is very small, but usable. The stairs to the upper floor are only about 3/4 size so care must be taken while going up and especially down. Overall we had a very good stay with the exception of the first day and the fact that it was unusually hot for Island Park (high 80's-low 90's) so the upstairs area was very hot even with the box fans that were provided. The work done so far on the cabin renewal seems good and the cabin will probably be a great rental when done.
