Idaho City, Idaho
Charming family-owned log cabin, 9 miles past Idaho City on scenic Hwy 21 in the Boise National Forest. Creek runs in front of the house. Hiking/biking trails nearby. Idaho City is 10 minutes drive from the Cabin. Most summer nights provide for spectacular stargazing. If you are looking to disconnect and spend a peaceful weekend rejuvenating in nature, this is the place for you. Easy access from Hwy 21, no need for 4 wheel drive. We provide Satellite wifi and we have used it to search the internet, check email, and conduct Zoom calls without a problem, but it doesn't work well when trying to make phone calls using a cell phone. If you call on FB messenger, WhatsApp or other apps it works.
The house was built in 1937 and is situated on 1.34 acres of land with pine trees all around. Outside fire-pit for roasting the perfect smores. Plenty of parking. Fully furnished with pots, pans, and utensils. Wood burning fireplace. Running hot water. 15 minutes to The Springs - Premier Hot Springs Retreat in Idaho City, 1 hour and 40 minutes to Stanley, 45 minutes to Lowman and Kirkham hot springs. Check-in time: 4pm (we will let you know if you can check-in early depending on availability). Check out time: 12pm.
Adorable place, plenty of room. Lots of things to explore and do.
What an absolutely beautiful property. We had a group of six and loved our weekend getaway. The property was clean, safe, well-appointed, fully-stocked, and so cozy! Exactly what we needed for a weekend away from the hustle and bustle.
What a wonderful location, great accommodations! The owners were nothing but fantastic to deal with. Excellent location, they have clearly poured a lot into this property in heart and soul and we appreciated every bit of it. The outdoor patio was definitely a favorite of the group! Can’t say enough good things about this stay.
Second time here. The property is beautiful. The newly upgraded covered patio/ramada is a real plus. The owners are attentive and responsive to questions. Love this place.
Several groups of friends came up for a quick weekend away. Cabin was everything we needed and more. We had 4 pickups and trailers and parking was a little tight but we made it work. Thanks for a beautiful place!
Not enough wash clothes, the water was cold in the shower. It only has solar power so the water never got hot. There were bugs, even in our beds, the comforters had stains on them. The cabin had mildew and wasn’t clean.
Very peaceful cabin, the sound of the stream was awesome.
Top rate accommodation in beautiful forest setting.
Property was exceptionally clean, kitchen fully stocked. Well-maintained rustic cabin w/ off-grid modern convenience. Beautiful lawn with outdoor gathering places. Creek sounds are soothing, fire pit tucked away in a gorgeous forest setting. Hope to stay again.
The property was so beautiful and comfy.
It's important to understand that this is an old family cabin that's 100 years old, not somebody's vacation home. The improvements to the bathrooms and the fully functional kitchen make it super comfortable. I loved that it was on the obter side of the river from the highway and behind a gate. The river kept the highway noise down. The highway is a small two lane road but gets used often enough by recreationists There's a campground on the other r side of the river, but nobody was there so we didn't have any issues with noise from them either. The location is super convenient, far enough from town that it feels secluded but close enough to run in for water or dinner. Going the other direction, there are so many hiking trails nearby! I also loved the updated windows in the outside with the original, swing open windows in the inside. We opened out inner windows to get fresh air and listen to the creek thru the screens. Despite it's age, this is one of the cleanest rentals I've ever stayed in. There is a lot of attention to detail. If I had to find fault with anything, it's that the water pressure is really low in the showers, but I was just greatful to have a shower so it didn't bother me. Use the shower upstairs, it heats up faster. The stove downstairs works really well, our dog loved curling up next to it. We also spent a lot of time sitting in the front porch while our dog explored the huge, beautiful yard. If we hike this area again, this would be our first choice.
Everything was excellent
Nice
Did not know it ran on solar so we had a small issue but communicated with the owner and worked it out!
My wife and I were blown away by this cabin. Going from the desert to here felt like traveling to another planet. The property is private with every amenity you could want or need. The hosts were very quick with communication. 5 stars, would love to rent again!
Had a wonderful time! Place was very neat and clean, lots of kitchen utensils which made cooking a breeze, and they have built a new gazebo that was lovely to sit under for mealtimes. We will definitely be back next year!
Beautiful place had a wonderful time and vacation with my family!
Great place to stay! Had a wonderful time!
Is the best place to my family I will back again
Upon arrival, we were impressed about the overall size of the property, along with the spaciousness of the cabin. The (unfinished) gazebo was an excellent place to hang out during the heat of the day. The owner warned us to be careful using it since it wasn’t quite done yet, which we were fine with. The yard was large and plenty of room for playing yard games. The grass was rather long, so that did draw more bugs in but it was better than no yard at all. The beds were fairly comfortable and there was enough for us all. The only complaint that we had was that the host tried to contact me the night before we checked out to tell me her father in law was going to be working in the yard the next day before we checked out. He was very nice, but we still felt kind of rushed to get out of there early so he could do his work. Overall, I would rate this experience a 9/10. I would probably stay here again if we were in the area.
Location feels totally private although you are just off the main highway. The cabin is comfortable and cozy, and all the outdoor spaces and lawn are perfect for hanging out, playing games and enjoying your vacation away from it all.
Great location, easy access, beautiful property & cabin. Cozy environment. Looking forward to going again.
Beautiful cabin. Owners are very helpful and communicative. Lots of great outdoor opportunities all around you.
Easy to access and was able to get answers from the host. WiFi was spotty but was able to text most of the time.
