Creekside log cabin nestled between the pines of Idaho City

How far away is the cabin from Idaho City? From Boise Airport?
From Idaho City - 14 minutes by car.
From Boise Airport - 1 hour by car.

What is there to do on site?
There is a forest service road a half mile past the cabin where you can take ATV’s or hike. There are a lot of other hiking trails around the cabin and near Idaho City. We suggest you download the “All Trails” app and search for different hikes. There is a creek that runs in front of the property. We have seen people fish there.

What is the power source?
The primary source is solar power. We recommend you don’t plan to plug in any items that consume too much electricity like an AC Unit or heaters. The solar power operates all of the lighting, plug-ins, and refrigerator and the daily production and storage is 10 kwh. The stove and water heater are operated by propane. We also have a backup generator if the solar power doesn’t collect enough power on cloudy days.

What kind of kitchen amenities are available?
Frying pan, baking sheet, large stock pot, crock pot, microwave, knives, forks, spoons, washcloths, spatulas, dishwashing detergent, (no dishwasher), fridge, freezer, salt, pepper, sugar

What kind of grill is available?
Propane and charcoal. There is propane on site but if you want to use the charcoal grill, bring charcoal, we don’t have any available.

The fireplace isn’t lighting, what do I do?
Make sure all windows are closed and the wood is dry and you are using kindling. In the back of the house there is a large wooden container full of kindling.

Do you allow early check-in/late check-out?
Check with us the day before your check in and if no one is staying there before you and our cleaner has cleaned it in time, you can check in early. If we don’t have anyone staying the next day, we may be able to allow for late check-out.

Do you have internet reception?
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.

Are there fans or AC available?
We have fans but no AC. Most of the time it cools off in the night so it is not necessary.

Can I drink the water from the tap?
We recommend you bring bottled water for drinking. We do use the water for cooking, showering, brushing teeth.

Why isn’t the hot water turning on in the bathroom?
It takes a little while for the hot water to go through the pipes and get to the bathroom. The upstairs shower gets hot water sooner than the downstairs one.
