On the main level, you'll find two private king bedrooms, each with its own ensuite full bathroom—ideal for unwinding after a day of exploring. The cozy living area offers multiple seating spots perfect for gathering, along with a fireplace to warm up by on chilly mountain nights. A shared half bathroom is also located on this level for added convenience. The fully stocked kitchen includes everything you need to cook meals at home, from everyday cookware to specialty appliances like a crockpot, waffle maker, rice cooker, air fryer, and more. Whether you're sipping morning coffee or prepping dinner, this kitchen is ready for it all.

Step outside to enjoy some of the home’s best features. Soak in the private hot tub under crisp mountain skies, gather around the fire pit for evening s’mores and stories, or challenge your crew to a game of horseshoes in the spacious grassy yard. Outdoor seating, a propane grill, and BBQ pit make it easy to enjoy meals outside, too.

Upstairs, you’ll find two large bedrooms, each with two queen beds and a twin-over-twin bunk, making them perfect for kids, cousins, or friends traveling together. A shared full bathroom on this floor serves both rooms.

Inside the home, entertainment is never in short supply. Enjoy friendly competition with the air hockey table, foosball, and a NFL Blitz arcade game, or kick back with the Xboxes, which include access to over 100 games. Each bedroom is equipped with charging pads for phones, earbuds, and smartwatches, while smart TVs, WiFi, and a washer and dryer round out the modern comforts.

With snowmobile and ATV trail access right from the front door, a large driveway with plenty of space for trucks and trailers, and close proximity to fishing spots like Henry’s Lake (25 min) and Island Park Reservoir (15 min), Elk Creek Lodge makes it easy to enjoy the best of the region. Need supplies? The nearest grocery store, Sam Patch, is just a 10-minute drive away.

There are countless snowmobile trails all over going straight from our cabin.
Enjoy snowshoeing, cross-country ski trails, ice fishing, hot tubbing, sledding, snowmobiling, Yellowstone snowmobiling, and tubing. Mesa Falls is amazing in the winter for snowmobiling, and so is Johnny Sack Cabin.

Whether you're planning days of outdoor adventure or peaceful nights under the stars, Elk Creek Lodge offers the space, comfort, and location to make your Island Park getaway unforgettable.
