When the snow starts to fall and the temperatures drop, there’s nothing like heading into the great outdoors. While many destinations around the state are perfect for a winter getaway, one of my personal favorites is Island Park. Here, there is plenty to see and do and you can even stay in one of the best vacation rentals in Idaho. In fact, there’s a charming Kabino cabin with a hot tub that’s the perfect place to snuggle up during the colder months of the year.

Island Park is one of the best mountain towns in Idaho. You may even consider it the best winter getaway destination in Idaho.

During a winter visit, I recommend you spend some time at Harriman State Park. Here, you’ll find more than 24 miles of groomed trails for Nordic skiing. This is also a wonderful spot for a day on snowshoes or fat bikes, or simply watching animals.

But sometimes, you don’t even need to leave the house. Sometimes, the best winter getaways are those where you can hunker down inside with those you love. The Kabino Cabin in Island Park has everything you need.
