Lakefront Retreat is located in the private gated community of Bills Island on the shore of the Island Park Reservoir. (The Island Park Reservoir was created many years ago by a dam along the Henrys Fork of the Snake River, a world renowned trout fishing river.) Swim and fish right off our private dock. Use our boat slip for your own boat or one of the many kinds of watercraft that can be rented only 1/4 mile away. They also rent bicycles, and a water trampoline that can be delivered right to the cabin waterfront. You can also rent ATV's, snowmobiles, and other equipment there. [You can ride ATV's (and snowmobiles in winter) directly onto the local trail system that connects for hundreds of miles and goes all the way to the border of Yellowstone Park!] We provide the following items at the house: one paddle board, one angler's kayak and two children's kayaks; with life jackets. Additionally, there are two sets of snorkeling gear. There is always deep water in the reservoir right behind this cabin, even in years when water levels may be reduced for the use of farmers downstream. Our west-facing deck, with its own fire pit, borders the water and connects to a floating walkway to the dock and boat slip. The deck is a great place to enjoy beautiful sunsets as you relax and discuss all the amazing possibilities for the days to come. The west entrance of Yellowstone Park is only 32 miles away. Horseback riding, hiking, fishing, and cross-country skiing are available in nearby Harriman State Park. Amazing and powerful Mesa Falls is also a short trip away. An all-day trip to visit Grand Teton National Park is also possible from this home.
