About this property

Moonlight Cottage “Hoot”, sleeps 5

There are four custom Moonlight Cottages at The Aspen Grove Inn at Heise Bridge. This 1-bedroom cottage in Rigby called “Howdy” has a Western theme with a barky log finish feature wall, and “Howdy” is perfect for your escape. The cozy space features 2 queen beds and 2 kid-friendly twins bunked, plus a mini kitchenette including a bar table and three stools. With heating and AC you'll be comfortable no matter the season. Our high mountain plain nights are quite cool, so bring your jackets for star-gazing and owls hooting.
Each cottage has outlets to recharge your smart devices, a unique chandelier light fixture for each cottage, wide plank wood floors, and custom woodwork and wood entry door. Quality finishes throughout.
Unique sleeping cottages provide a somewhat campy stay. Cottage guests use the deluxe and warm Loo-euvre Restroom and Shower House very close by and has a well lit very short pathway. The cottages have a campy feel with just a little bit of adventure.
Not to be missed is our “Nights of Lights” from Thanksgiving to the middle of January. A lot of value and a unique stay for a very reasonable price. Bring your toothbrush and swimsuit; bringing is food optional due to local Idaho-style restaurants. You're sure to make fantastic memories with a stay at our place.
Outside the cottages there is your personal firepit and two comfy adirondack chairs, and a communal picnic table in the shade that you can reserve. Plenty of parking. Dreamy sunsets on the Heise Hills just northeast of the cottages every night. Owls hooting and a star-filled sky await our cottage guests.
Included in each cottage is a retro-style refrigerator and microwave. Bed linens provided as well as bath towels, soap and shampoo.
Included with your stay at our Inn is an incredible array of complementary activities including pedal boats on The Pond, bicycles, a disc golf course complete with maps, discs and scorecards, a Little Free Library, horseshoes, volleyball, tetherball, board games, and more.
Off site activities in our canyon area include, the large Heise Hot Springs facility, pizza parlor, zip line, and par 3 9-hole golf course, a very cool mini golf course, a driving range, Kelly Canyon Ski Hill, great hiking and biking, 200+ miles of dirt bike and ATV trails, and the mighty Snake River right across the road from our Inn. Day trips to Rexburg Rapids water park and Jackson Hole are easy from here. Guests often use our Inn as home base for trips to Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Parks.
We pride ourselves in as being an inclusive fun place to stay and play.
Please note we charge an additional $40 per dog per stay for guests that bring dogs, with a maximum of two dogs allowed. We love our dog guests! It just takes housekeeping extra time to remove the dog hair and dander. Please mention at the time of your inquiry if you plan to bring dog guests with you. You must call in advance please with your credit card info after registering. Also, if your dog is left for even a moment alone in your cottage, please put them in a kennel you provide. And, of course, pick up after them immediately.
We think you’ll love it here!

About the host

Hosted by Sharon Parry

Host profile image
Love being a host! We meet some of the nicest people from all over the world. Another reason we love owning a property such as this is the ability to make a place and build spaces so that people not only feel comfortable here but they also love recreating and relaxing on the property. That makes us feel good to be part of this special lodging place.
Living in Idaho “The Whitewater State,” we experience as many rivers as possible. Whitewater rafting is what Steve and Sharon love most as our big hobby.
We are parents to three grown kids and their three wonderful spouses, plus ask us about our really cute and smart eight grandchildren. Steve is practicing law (as Sharon says, practicing until he gets it right 😉), and Sharon is a reformed politician.

Why they chose this property

The Inn’s scene is definitely Idaho countryside. There’s the big Snake River with its braided channels and varying seasonal water heights across the road, plus the Snake with its huge Cottonwood stands has all kinds of animal life— fish, beavers, river otters, owls, ospreys and eagles, moose, mule deer, and whitetail deer.
Farms and ranches are our neighbors.

What makes this property unique

What makes our property unique? Easy question!
1. Our Famous Little Borrow Barn for on site recreation, and our own Little Free Library #69967.
2. The scenery and off-site recreation
3. Our motto: “A place of peace and calm where healing, bonding, and reconnecting can happen.”
4. Lots and lots of wood carvings done by an on-site wood carver Kevin of Free Heel Studio.
5. Our place is located on Butler Island which is bordered by the mighty Snake River on one side and the Great Feeder on the other side.
