October 10-17, 2026 / Island Park, Idaho

Yellowstone Guys Trip 2026

Seven nights at Iron Slide Lodge: Yellowstone days, a ridiculous Airbnb setup, late-night games, and enough room for the whole crew to stop pretending they are "checking the calendar."

Area map, lodge pins, park wins

A cleaner map-style view of Island Park and Yellowstone. Tap the western pins for Airbnb intel, then work the park pins like a checklist of sights, wildlife, and evidence that this trip was not a bad idea.

Featured stay

Iron Slide Lodge is the hook

The listing reads like it was built to end the group chat debate: golf and multisport simulator, private sauna, outdoor hot tub, theater room, ping pong, foosball, double-shot basketball, fire pit, lake access, and room to spread out. It is basically a lodge with side quests.

Cost plan

The cabin math

The Airbnb is about $11k for the week. I am covering $6k of that so the group share stays around $500 per person. If the group contribution goes past the cabin cost, the extra goes toward the 15-seater van, welcome bags, or groceries. Simple plan, no weird spreadsheet ambush later.

Any overage goes to the van, welcome bags, or groceries.

Keep it simple

Text me when you're ready to get in the group chat.

The real logistics update lands about two months out: weather, packing, groceries, park planning, and what we are actually doing each day. Until then, the official itinerary is mostly "show up, bring layers, do not poke the bison."
