About this property

The cabin trip without the cabin price.

Trails End sits at 3625 Bills Loop South Road in Island Park, on what locals call Bills Island — a peninsula community in the trees that feels private without being remote. The cabin is forty minutes from Yellowstone's west entrance.

Where the rest of the Grandview collection leans into luxury, Trails End leans into the actual cabin experience. Fifteen-plus animal mounts on the great-room walls. A timber-and-stone exterior under a wraparound porch. A hot tub. A fire pit. Neighbors close enough that the kids find friends by day two.

Highlights

Built for big groups

A peninsula community where neighbors become trip stories.

Bills Island isn't a place tourists know — it's a tight-knit community of cabin owners on a wooded peninsula. Quiet, walkable, and just close enough to each other that families who come back ask for the same week every year.

Fifteen-plus animal mounts and a great room that earns the word lodge.

The taxidermy-lined great room with vaulted timber ceilings is what most cabin renters say they were looking for. It feels like a hunting camp because that's the heritage Island Park comes from. Smart TVs and a stone fireplace make it a place you actually want to sit.

Hot tub, fire pit, and a covered deck for after-the-park.

The patio gets used. After Yellowstone, after the lake, after a snowmobile run — the covered deck with the hot tub and the fire pit is where the day ends. Pines all around, neighbors close enough to wave at but not close enough to hear.

  • What's special about Bills Island?
    Bills Island is a private peninsula community in Island Park — a tight cluster of cabins among the pines where neighbors know each other. It's the difference between a cabin off a highway and a cabin where the kids find friends on day two.
  • How far is Trails End from Yellowstone?
    Forty minutes by car from the west entrance at West Yellowstone, Montana. The drive cuts through forested back roads — quieter than the highway approach from any other direction.
  • What's the budget angle on Trails End?
    Compared to the rest of the Grandview collection, Trails End is the mid-budget option. Same Island Park area, same Yellowstone access, with a more classic cabin feel rather than the premium luxury or themed-experience play of Cutthroat or Riverfront.
  • Is it good for families with kids?
    Yes. The animal mounts on the walls become a project for the kids the first hour they walk in. The wraparound porch and the proximity to other families on Bills Island make it easy for groups with kids to settle in fast.
  • Hot tub year-round?
    Yes. Covered deck means the hot tub is usable in winter snow as well as summer. Same with the fire pit, weather-dependent.
