This beautiful log cabin was originally built in 1939 and was lovingly remodeled to add a majestic great room looking out over the Salmon River, as well as a private bedroom, a bathroom, and two sleeping lofts. It is one of just a few cabins located in the Sawtooth National Recreational Area, which sports world-famous fishing, white water rafting, and hiking.
The free-standing cabin is on a private dirt road off Highway 75 just a few miles from beautiful Stanley, Idaho. Enjoy this relaxing getaway within walking distance of spectacular hikes, world-class fishing and rafting, or just relax in the mountain air on a porch or in a hammock with your favorite book! Fish for your breakfast out your back door and cook your catch on the beautiful vintage-style wood-burning stove in the kitchen. This cabin has a private main-floor bedroom with a queen bed as well as two sleeping lofts with three more queen beds and two single beds.
In the scenic Sawtooth Valley, this clean and cozy cabin provides a beautifully appointed but rustic space where you can escape the hustle and bustle of daily life and relax to the sound of the rippling river and the wind in the pines. The cabin is neat and clean while also surrounding you with a mix of both vintage and modern touches.
Central Idaho is an area unlike any other. Every path you find will lead you to areas that are so untouched by humans that you wonder if you are the only one who has ever been there. The rushing rivers and towering mountaintops are more impressive everywhere you look. The beautiful wilderness area in the surrounding area will call you outside for a day of hiking, fishing, swimming, and exploring. Afterward, you can spend a relaxing evening under the stars with people you love around the fire pit enjoying ghost stories and s'mores! Stanley is designated as a Dark Sky Reserve, where the stars are so bright it feels like you can reach out and touch them. Stargazing is an incredible way to spend one of your nights here. As the day comes to an end, the cozy fireplace, handmade quilts and fluffy comforters, and the logs harvested by hand from the property and used in the construction of the cabin will call you back in. Your dreams will be filled with the excitement of the day and anticipation of what tomorrow might hold.
We hope you enjoy this heavenly place as much as we do!

Lovely cabin in our favorite area of Idaho. All the beds were cozy and our kids had fun sleeping in the loft. The cabin provided beautiful views out the window. We loved all the aspects of our family vacation stay at Casino Pines and can't wait to return. Highly Recommend!

We enjoyed our stay in this well-kept cabin. The location right on the river was great for some quick fly fishing, and access to the Stanley area, Yankee Fork, Redfish and other attractions is very convenient.

Great property!
The cabin was just what our group needed! We really enjoyed being on the river, camp fires at night and cooking on the wood stove. The cabin was well stocked and we found everything we needed. I would definitely rent this getaway cabin again!

Very nice property! It has a well stocked kitchen, with items you might have forgotten, and close to Stanley to shop or have a bite to eat. We enjoyed the quiet with the river running and wildlife close by. Definitely the perfect place to relax!

Our group has now stayed here 3 times and have loved it. The location is awesome and the cabin is nicely furnished. It's a touch hard to prepare meals here, since they don't have a regular stove/oven, but we mostly just do simple meals.

Hello Kyle,
Thanks so much for visiting the cabin for the 3rd time! We love our repeat guests.
The owners are working on an outside pizza oven and once that is completed there will be one more fun way to prepare meals.
We hope to see you next summer.
Cheers,

Wonderful mountain getaway!
Location by the river was awesome. Caught rainbow trout by literally walking out the back door. Cabin has a great balance between comfort and rustic. Close enough to Lower Stanley and Stanley for easy access to supplies, etc. Highly recommend this cabin!

We are so happy you had a wonderful time, I hope you pan fried the fish on the wood cook stove. Hope you come back sometime.

We stayed a week and each day the views got better. Many great locations in town to dine but loved the wood cook stove for an old fashioned breakfast. We did a half day ride with Mystic Saddle at Redfish and enjoyed our ATV ride with Sawtooth Traxx. Also enjoyed the hot springs. Would recommend this cabin due to location and privacy. Thank you for an amazing getaway.

This house was very comfortable for our family of four. This house is charming and the location is terrific - close enough to town but with a lovely private riverfront.
We had prompt and helpful communications when we had questions for the caretaker.

A great location but maybe a little more rustic than we were expecting. We found a lot of mice droppings and cohabitated with a bay.

Stacia,
Thanks so much for staying with us and taking time to leave a review. I'm sorry you found the cabin more rustic than expected. We try as much as possible to prepare guests for what to expect with the information in our extensive welcome book. If doors are left open, it allows unwanted critters into the cabin. I'm sorry we didn't know you were having issues until hours before your departure so we could have addressed them. Thanks again and we wish you the best!
About the host
Hosted by Mike & Britiney Slaughter
Mike & Britiney live in Boise. They and their 3 grown boys love being at the cabin any time it's not rented and are thrilled to share their favorite place with people from around the world.
Why they chose this property
Stanley Idaho is an outdoor adventurer's paradise. The awe-inspiring Sawtooth Mountains and the surrounding lakes, rivers, streams, and trails provide a never-ending array of opportunities for exploring. We have camped and hiked in the Sawtooths for more than 30 years. We finally couldn't resist the call any longer and found a more permanent home from which we could adventure into the beautiful Idaho wilderness. We hope you will enjoy this beautiful place as much as we do.
What makes this property unique
The cabin sleeps up to 10 guests via 3 queen, 1 full, and 2 twin beds. The main floor bedroom has a comfortable queen bed, dresser, and closet. There are two sleeping lofts. One has a full bed and a twin bed, and the other has two queens and one twin bed. The lofts are safe for children.
