About this property
Private & Cozy Cabins on North Fork of Big Lost River [Big Lost Ranch]
The Big Lost Ranch is located on the North Fork of the Big Lost River surrounded by National Forest with no other properties or people in sight. We have two sleeping cabins right on the river, plus one more cabin (The Bar) which serves as your cooking area. ( This is not a full kitchen). These cabins are 18 miles from Sun Valley yet our location offers serenity, peace and a backdrop worthy of a postcard. I only book one party at the time, so you get to relax in privacy in your own cozy cabin, and your own bar.
The recreational opportunities in the surrounding areas are endless! You'll find amazing hiking, mountain biking, and of course miles of fly- fishing water. We have fly fished here for 30 years, and happy to share some secrets. We are nestled in between the Boulder and Pioneers Mountains with beautiful 360 degree views right from your cabin . Our property is the perfect base camp for exploring the many beautiful mountain lakes, or the closest to Mount Borah. Our property is a natural playground for children, dogs, and nature lovers.
Included in the price is the authentic western bar, for inside cooking and dinning. We also have a gas barbecue and outside stove for outdoor cooking. The bar has a small refrigerator, dishes, glasses, bowls, utensils, a double sink, hot water, hot plate, toaster/convection oven, coffee, and many more items. There is no dishwasher! No garbage disposal! Composing and recycling is necessary, since i need to bring the trash to town.
Our property is just about 1/2 hour from Sun Valley . Our ranch allows you to stay in a private and save environment. We only accept one group at a time, so you are guaranteed 100% privacy when staying at the cabins. If you are an outdoors lover, and enjoy peace and nature we are the right place for you.
We added wi-fi to the cabins this year!

About the host
Hosted by Justine & Steve Kaiser

My husband and I enjoy living an active outdoor lifestyle and you will find us fly-fishing and exploring the beautiful mountain around our property every chance we get . We love sharing our place with kindred spirits. We have been living at this property for over 30 years and are happy to share the best fly-fishing spots, beautiful hikes, our favorite waterfalls and all the rest of our local knowledge. We have extra fly fishing equipment, and sometimes willing to help out, if time allows.
Why they chose this property
We enjoy our private slice of Idaho and love to share it with people seeking a peaceful, quiet, relaxing outdoor experience. Our property offers unparalleled privacy, lots of recreation, and close access to Sun Valley, Ketchum, or Mackay. Choose this property only if you like to get away from crowded places . If you are an outdoor enthusiastic person or ready for glam-ping ( camping in style) experience, it's a wonderful get away, relax in comfort and take time to connect with nature.
What makes this property unique
We have two cozy sleeping cabins right on the North Fork of the Big Lost River and with your privacy in mind we only allow one group to book at a time. The larger cabin is divided into two rooms, one with a king size bed and the other with a queen bed, sharing an adjoining bathroom. Each room accommodates two people. The second smaller cabin has a comfortable double bed with a toilet, sink and outdoor shower. The 3rd cabin included in your stay is "the bar" ( it is not a full kitchen) used for your inside cooking and dinning needs, if it is cold outside. There is plenty of room for tent camping if you have a bigger party or kids, but i will charge you extra for more people.
