Kabino

“I’ll start by saying we are very understanding people. The location is great and the views are outstanding! We showed up for our check in at 4 and the cleaners were still there, after not getting a response from the host, we waited, after a 21 hour drive, we waited another 1.5 hours with a toddler and other family members to get in. After the cleaners “finished” we got in and got settled and found numerous dirty and unacceptable cleanliness issues. We found previous guests underwear in one of the bedrooms, a noticeable urine smell in that room, hair on a left behind soap bar, a scum line around the water of the hot tub, looked like a tornado went through the fire pit area. Now, understanding things happen, we finally got ahold of the host and ask for a small compensation for our troubles. We were met with no understanding of the situation. We sent pictures and finally after being there for 4 days, they offered to send the cleaners back out, we did not accept as it didn’t matter.”

“Overall a nice stay. Could have been a lot cleaner for what we paid.”

“Absolutely a terrible experience. The house has no AC which I knew about. However, you have to open windows to cool the house. Once it got dark there were hundreds if not thousands of bugs that made it through and around the window screens. They were EVERYWHERE. In every room, in our food, in the beds, on the walls and ceilings. The hosts solution was to send housekeeping and provide fans so we could blow hot air on ourselves. Not an acceptable solution when it is 90+ degrees outside. Took 10+ hours to get a response from the host. Had to throw out the majority of the food we just bought because bugs got into it. Most of my family spent the one night we stayed sleeping on the floor or couches because of the bugs. We left 4 days early and had to book another Airbnb out of pocket. This house is worn down and needs a remodel. May not be an issue with the bugs in the spring, winter, or fall. I'd rather sleep in a tent. Airbnb eventually refunded part of the money but not all of it.”

“Pros: beautiful location, peaceful area, slept a lot of guests comfortably, lots of great seating areas, TV in every room, fun activities like ping pong and pool Cons: there was trash left behind from the previous guests, including popcorn, Chexmix, etc. in the basement couches and on the floor. There were also quite a few dead bugs in the carpet, especially on the stairs. We had to clean a decent amount when we arrived, because we had small children who were spending time on the floor. Lastly, the basement looks a little beat up. Some of the walls have paint missing, there were spiderwebs, and lots of scuff marks. All in all, we had a nice stay and the cabin was large enough to accommodate our big group. I feel bad subtracting a star for cleanliness, but it definitely needed to be cleaned more thoroughly.”

“We had a great experience overall and really enjoyed our stay! The place is incredibly cozy, spacious, and located in a beautiful setting surrounded by nature and mountains. We even had deer visit us in the morning, which was a wonderful highlight. The outdoor dining tables and chairs were perfect for enjoying the views, the fireplace was awesome, and there was plenty of room inside with more than enough beds to comfortably accommodate our group of 10 exactly as described. However, there were a few negatives, especially given the price paid. The cleanliness was not quite up to expectation upon arrival: we found bugs in the living room, the refrigerator had a very strong, unpleasant odor, and the hot tub was not clean and carried a strange smell. Additionally, the area directly surrounding the property could use some maintenance to clear out the weeds. Side note for future guests: Just be aware that while you can see the river in the listing pictures, there is no direct access to it”

“Listing says no AC and crisp mountain air will cool the house, in July it’s 87 all windows open and no crosswind. The house was hot and with only 1 ceiling fan no air circulation. Also doesn’t mention anything about being right next to the highway. Having all the windows open you can hear all the vehicles passing by on US HWY 20.”

“Beautiful spot and cute cabin not far from west Yellowstone. However, during our stay cleaning came to clean the hot tub while we were still there (2 days before our checkout date) zero communication about this from host, very inconsiderate & extremely unprofessional. Also it was just me, my husband and child, we thought the loft was part of the main cabin so we were very disappointed (child especially) that he couldn’t sleep in a totally separate cabin in the bunk beds. No wonder the cost was over 2100$ we essentially paid for 2 cabins, I would consider re wording the location/space details. Lastly I received about 6-7 different checkout reminders which was extremely essessive and rude and made me feel like this host couldn’t wait to get their guests out. We made the most out of this trip. Island park is beautiful & we’ll be back, but will not stay at this property ever again.”

“Wonderful view from the back deck, and we loved how remote the cabin felt. The cabin was clean with a rustic charm. However, the yard and parking area were poorly maintained, and the property could use some TLC.”

“We enjoyed our stay and surrounding Yellowstone areas. The home was comfortable and we enjoyed the beautiful views and jogs by the lake. We had a rough check in as the cleaners were not finished when we arrived after 5 pm. Overall a good experience and the home was spacious with plenty of room for our family.”

“The home was located within a quiet, private neigobrhood. It has great views of the mountains and wildlife was often visible from a distance. The home was sleek, modern, and contained all of the necessary appliances for preparing meals. The garage doors provided a unique indoor- outdoor living experience. I would recommend planning ahead and grocery shopping before entering the immediate area. The local grocery stores have a significant markup on all items. While I don’t think it directly affected our stay, I do feel many of the potential fines/penalties they’ve listed for excess trash and maintenance fees felt excessive for the nightly pricing of the location.”
