Good to Know
Air Conditioning: The home is equipped with one portable window A/C unit on the main floor to help keep the main living area comfortable during warmer weather.
Winter Travel Advisory: Roads are maintained, but weather during the fall, winter, and spring can be unpredictable. We highly recommend a 4WD or AWD vehicle with adequate ground clearance during the winter and shoulder seasons.
Island Park Water: Due to naturally occurring iron in the groundwater, some homes in the Island Park area may experience slight water discoloration. This is normal for the region. Wild Skies Lodge is equipped with a water softener, sediment filter, UV filtration system, and carbon filter to improve water quality. Some guests still prefer bottled drinking water during their stay, which is completely normal and a common preference in the area.
