Awesome tucked away waterfront escape. Watching wood ducks and goldeneyes cruise the river at sunrise from the hot tub was definitely a must.

This place was absolutely perfect. We were visiting family in Melba and decided to stay at this home and boy i was so glad we did. Its quite and right on the snake river with great fishing. The house has plenty of room to move around and it was equipped with everything you need. We stay in 2 to 3 houses a year and i have to say this was one of the best. You wont be disappointed.

This house was absolutely immaculate, and set up for families with tons of games and activities to do. The kitchen was well stocked with quality cooking items. The internet and television was great, and the hot tub was a huge bonus. Looking forward to coming back!😊

Extremely Delightful

WOW!Cleanest place I have stayed outside of my own home in decades. The home was very fresh and clean and looked like we were the first to ever enter it. Such a beautiful and peaceful setting with a lot of privacy. A perfect place for a family outing or a honey moon. Hope to make a return visit soon and will always stay here when in the area.

Snake River house

This place is awesome! Right on the river, the house is clean & well furnished. Rented the boat, Dellon gave us some great advise on where to fish & he was dead on! Caught 9 the first evening out. Nearby off-roading, Silver City was cool to visit. Great hosts! Had a really nice stay! Will definitely book again.

We loved the peaceful setting, it was exactly what we were looking for. I am sure in the Spring and Summer it is a wonderful place to be outside. The weather was in the 30's during our stay, but I still enjoyed the back porch bundled up looking at the river. The house is electric baseboard, but has a pellet stove that we were allowed to use. When we arrived, the home was very cold (the weather did have a sudden cold snap) and the pellet stove got the house warmed up adequately. We were thankful for a propane grill to use outside, and a full kitchen so we really could stay without having to go to town. We would stay again!

FANTASTIC!!!!

This house was the complete package for us. Great kitchen , lots of room, and everything was in good working order. Even the beds were comfy I am already planning to rent this again in the future. If you own a UTV I advise you to bring it (I didn’t) but next time definitely taking the ride to Silver City

Rented this beautiful house for 3days, we had such a relaxing time. Fished the river, enjoyed a fire in the outside fire pit. Kitchen had everything we needed plus more. Very organized and extremely clean. Plenty of games, and even has a game room.Host was very helpful and friendly. Responds with quick replys. A pleasure to rent from. Plenty of room inside and out.Absolutely recommend this home.
