Henry's Fork Waterfront - Camp Targhee | Cabin in Island Park

Welcome to "Camp Targhee" a beautiful, small log cabin built in 1923 and updated throughout the years. This much loved cabin sits on the Henry's Fork of the Snake River and includes a dock. You don’t have to go anywhere! You can walk right out the porch door and go fly fishing or enjoy water fun right at this rental property! You will also very often see wildlife such as moose and bald eagle right in front of the cabin! This cabin is in a highly coveted location and sits in a truly special setting -- on a private road with only 14 cabins with the overall area surrounded by natural forest and open space. As a result the environment is very peaceful and serene and is a stark contrast to the cabins up the river and closer to Mack's Inn where the water is crowded with day floaters. It is quite typical to see moose and bald eagle on the river as you are sitting on the dock or enjoying the beauty from the screened riverfront porch. This cabin is perfect for those who want to enjoy Island Park or tour Yellowstone as it is about 20 miles from West Yellowstone and the gate to the park. A perfect trip would include time exploring Yellowstone and time fishing and playing on the river. There are also miles of trails for hiking, biking, running and walking. All this only 20 miles from the West Entrance to Yellowstone!
The cabin includes the following:
* One bedroom with a queen bed,
* One bath with a shower,
* A twin bed with a trundle bed in the main room. The trundle can be pulled out and left at a level lower than the bed or it can be heightened to become an additional twin bed or placed next to the twin to make a king bed,
* A twin bed on the screened sleeping porch with mesh screen windows rather than glass and a gorgeous view of the river which allows one to sleep in a protected environment while listening to the river and nature sounds all night,
* Well outfitted and stocked kitchen with a convection oven, stove, 11 cu foot refrigerator/freezer, microwave, coffee maker, blender and all utensils, serving and cooking tools you will need.
* Weekly trash pick up service on Wednesday Mornings.
* WiFi Service (Fiber Optic).
*Please note that the boats/paddleboard are shown for illustrative purposes only and are not included. You can bring your own or rent them for your use just a block up the river.
This cabin will appeal to those who want to enjoy an old fashioned relaxed lifestyle in the way that many loved Island Park before it was "discovered". The evenings are perfect for outdoor BBQs on the patio and time around the outdoor firepit. This cabin will NOT appeal to those who are looking for a modern home complete with TVs, etc as it is meant to be a respite from modern stress, gadgets and information overload. We purposefully do not have these electronics in the cabin to encourage everyone to unplug, relax, get outside and enjoy the outstanding beauty of the area and the many activities available right out the door. We do have WiFi so people can improve the cell service, work remotely, log on to their Netflix account, text etc. The cabin is downriver from the Mack's Inn area and is within walking distance to a riverfront restaurant and a gas station/convenience store. The cabin is about 20 feet from the bank of the Henry's Fork of the Snake River and you can float and canoe right off the dock of the cabin.
There are so many things to do in the area. One big draw is Yellowstone and this cabin is a great place to come back to after a day of touring the Park. It is so wonderful to decompress after a long day of sightseeing by playing in the water, fishing for smaller trout off the dock or enjoying the beauty and sounds from the screened riverfront porch prior to making dinner on the BBQ which overlooks the river. You can also enjoy more local sights such as Big Springs, Box Canyon and hiking Coffee Pot Rapids. You can canoe to Coffee Pot campground from the cabin. Local sights such as Harriman Ranch can be enjoyed via hike or on horseback with one of their guides. Harriman is also great for fishing. Mesa Falls is gorgeous and a must see. Lakes such as Hebgen Lake, Henry's Lake and the nearby Island Park Reservoir are great for swimming, fishing, jet skiing, boating and waterskiing or wakeboarding. There are numerous places to rent boats and jet skis in the area and they will deliver them to the boat launch and pick them up when you are done. Golf is just up the road at the Island Park Village Resort where they also have tennis courts and an indoor pool.
Families, couples and small groups have all loved their time at this cabin. It is perfect if you want to truly live the "cabin" lifestyle. Having said this if you prefer a place with a TV, air conditioning (we do have fans though), a Washer/dryer and dishwasher this place would not be your best choice. Cell service can be spotty but works very well via WiFi calling. While the cabin has a great kitchen it does not Include a dishwasher but we have always enjoyed the camaraderie of doing them together by hand. There are laundry facilities right up the street that are easily accessed when needed as the cabin does not have a washer or dryer.
This cabin is a stand alone single family residence. The lot is 130 feet wide along the river allowing for plenty of riverfront to enjoy and play! The firepit and dock provide a ton of entertainment and fun and are solely for the use of this cabin allowing for fun family times!
This cabin is not a great choice for ATV enthusiasts who want to bring their own ATVs as there is no parking or turnaround for ATV trailers. If you want to rent them for the day and ride the many miles of trails in the general area there are many shops that have them available for rent. As there is no place to park them at the cabin we request that they not come in as they will overcrowd the cabin parking and disrupt the neighborhood.
Once your reservation has been accepted the rental agreement and additional information and addendums must be signed and returned to the owner within 48 hours of receipt by the person(s) renting the cabin (including copies of a Driver's License for each adult member of the party).
