The Space: Welcome to Melvin's Retreat! Located in the beautiful mountains of Island Park.

This cabin was built in 2022 with room to sleep 12 guests comfortably and all the amenities.Â
This place was fantastic! I cannot say enough about how clean and well stocked the hose was. In a quiet natural setting, it was nice to come home to every day. It was about 20 minutes into West Yellowstone but the drive was easy. Yellowstone was great but coming back here every day made this a wonderful vacation for my family.
We had a great stay at Melvins Retreat. The property, layout, and amenities were outstanding. This is the perfect spot for exploring Yellowstone, Grand Teton, and other attractions in the area. I would highly recommend this property and would definetly stay here again.
We stay at a lot of rental homes and this one was perfectly stocked, clean and beautiful. We all enjoyed Melvin and took a group photo with him before we left.
Property is clean and well kept with most amenities you would have at home. Host communicates extremely well and checks in to ensure home was accommodating. Not far from West Yellowstone. Would stay here again for sure.
This place is awesome! I have stayed in several other rentals and this is by far the nicest place I have ever stayed. The house had plenty of room for the family to spread out and relax. The location was extremely quiet and peaceful. The house was extremely well cared for and exceptionally clean. The kitchen was well stocked with everything that we needed. If you are looking for a quiet place in nature, this is it. The road to the house is a dirt road but it is well maintained and easy to navigate. We will definitely stay there again if we go back that way.
We absolutely loved this property! It was beautiful inside and out, clean, and well stocked with everything you could need. We had tons of room for our mixed group of family.
We had a quick stay here but loved the home. We wish we couldâve stayed longer at this home. Communication with the manager was great and we had no problems at all.
This property is amazing. Everything in the house was perfect. Not only was the house beautiful, it had all the amenities to have a great stay. It was very chilly in the mornings but we never felt cold because each room had a separate heater.
We loved this house. It was a great location to Yellowstone. It was the perfect size, very roomy and spacious. It had everything you needed. Itâs nice and new. The beds are very comfortable. Highly recommend.
Very clean and spacious. The outdoor fire pit was a nice addition for s'mores one night. This was a perfect house for a family gathering. Close to Yellowstone and had everything we needed to be comfortable and felt really nice for a cabin experience.
We had 6 adults stay at the property. It was everything we hoped it would be. The house has all of the kitchen items we could have needed. We were able to have our own individual space. Loved the foosball table. We played it every night. The location to Yellowstone was perfect. We used the grill one night for dinner. We also saw some wildlife early in the morning right from the front door. Would highly recommend!! And would absolutely stay here again if came back to the area
I was traveling with three family groups and this property was perfect! There are privacy options as well as great communal space. We never felt like we were on top of each other without a retreat. Finding a place can be challenging given personality types in my group that require extreme cleanliness and order, and Melvin's Retreat hit EVERY need and wish. Location was fabulous to visit Yellowstone. Communication was stellar. I have stayed at a local nice hotel when I have come solo to the area in the past, but would seriously consider paying the extra in the future for a couples getaway. It truly is one of those places. Debated slightly less expensive places for this trip, but glad I followed my gut to book this one!
Our stay was wonderful! The cabin is absolutely beautiful, clean and very well stocked. We couldnât ask for anything better and canât wait to come back. The host was very responsive to everything. Thank you so much.
Before even renting the property, Ty was impressively prompt answering questions I messaged. My family and I continued to be impressed by the property. We came to snowmobile in the area and the home worked very well. The public trailer parking lot just before the road to the home worked well for our very large enclosed trailer. The home itself was clean and smelled amazing when we arrived. The home itself is well built and arranged perfectly for a comfortable stay. The lock was easy to use.
Thoughtful touches by the managing group or owner, I am not sure, went a long way. This included having all sizes of pots and pans of nice quality, instantpot, grittle, good blender, good quality blender, grill out back with extra propane tank. Extra garbage bags readily available and organized in a way that makes sense. Plenty of dish soap and dish washer soap. Detergent for laundry. Storage containers. Saran wrap.
Salt and pepper, sugar, flour.
Bathrooms had shampoo, conditioner and body soap. Plenty of towels and wash clothes.
There were extra blankets to snuggle on the couch with.
We love this house and the managers/owner made it easy to be there with simple thoughtful add ons in the house.
The driveway angle is too tight for any trailer but again, the lot prior to the road in worked perfectly.
It snowed every day and the road was plowed well. Even during our stay Ty was prompt with questions. All these things above are not standard in homes weâve stayed in before.
We had a blast snowmobiling in the back country around Island Park. The house was our oasis.
Thank you! We will stay again!
Loved the property! We brought our 2 sons and their wives, everyone had their own space. All amenities were thought of and supplied. The house was very organized and very clean. Beautiful home and very comfortable.
The house was beautiful with plenty of space. We didn't spend much time there because we were going to Yellowstone each day. Everything that you need is there! Everything from pots pans, utensils, seasoning, laundry, towels, grill and Keurig coffee maker, games and all the comforts of your own home. It's located down a private road which is quiet and beautiful, with other similar house styles. If you are looking for something nestled in the country where you have your privacy, I'd definitely recommend it. Bonus was we saw a fox hunting right across the road the day we were leaving!
