About this property

Creekside log cabin nestled between the pines of Idaho City

Charming family-owned log cabin, 9 miles past Idaho City on scenic Hwy 21 in the Boise National Forest. Creek runs in front of the house. Hiking/biking trails nearby. Idaho City is 10 minutes drive from the Cabin. Most summer nights provide for spectacular stargazing. If you are looking to disconnect and spend a peaceful weekend rejuvenating in nature, this is the place for you. Easy access from Hwy 21, no need for 4 wheel drive. 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.
The house was built in 1937 and is situated on 1.34 acres of land with pine trees all around. Outside fire-pit for roasting the perfect smores. Plenty of parking. Fully furnished with pots, pans, and utensils. Wood burning fireplace. Running hot water. 15 minutes to The Springs - Premier Hot Springs Retreat in Idaho City, 1 hour and 40 minutes to Stanley, 45 minutes to Lowman and Kirkham hot springs. Check-in time: 4pm (we will let you know if you can check-in early depending on availability). Check out time: 12pm.

Lovely getaway!

What an absolutely beautiful property. We had a group of six and loved our weekend getaway. The property was clean, safe, well-appointed, fully-stocked, and so cozy! Exactly what we needed for a weekend away from the hustle and bustle.

Excellent Cabin

What a wonderful location, great accommodations! The owners were nothing but fantastic to deal with. Excellent location, they have clearly poured a lot into this property in heart and soul and we appreciated every bit of it. The outdoor patio was definitely a favorite of the group! Can’t say enough good things about this stay.

Great Vacation Getaway

Cabin was beautiful along with the scenery. Wifi wasn't great, but glad we didn't have any technology to take away from family time. Solar power was also tricky on the cloudy days. Overall we enjoyed our time and the outdoor patio was the favorite for the family

Great cabin

Several groups of friends came up for a quick weekend away. Cabin was everything we needed and more. We had 4 pickups and trailers and parking was a little tight but we made it work. Thanks for a beautiful place!

Cabin by the Creek

We enjoyed our stay here. All amenities were as described, so there were no surprises. The place was clean on our arrival. The yard and outdoor kitchen were the main attraction for all our activities, especially the foosball table. The surrounding area was great for walking and geo-caching. Idaho City is just a short drive and has some interesting shops and other activities. Great place to stay. Thanks

Dirt biking Trinity Mountains

Ten miles out of ID City seemed perfect, cabin is good shape for eighty years old, vary cozy. No issues with hot water at all. Figured out the power system didn't like the coffee maker and microwave and toaster running at the same time, no issues after we learned to conserve a bit. No TV was kind of nice. Huge grass covered yard, plenty of parking.

Family vacation

Not enough wash clothes, the water was cold in the shower. It only has solar power so the water never got hot. There were bugs, even in our beds, the comforters had stains on them. The cabin had mildew and wasn’t clean.

More comfortable than camping

It's important to understand that this is an old family cabin that's 100 years old, not somebody's vacation home. The improvements to the bathrooms and the fully functional kitchen make it super comfortable. I loved that it was on the obter side of the river from the highway and behind a gate. The river kept the highway noise down. The highway is a small two lane road but gets used often enough by recreationists There's a campground on the other r side of the river, but nobody was there so we didn't have any issues with noise from them either. The location is super convenient, far enough from town that it feels secluded but close enough to run in for water or dinner. Going the other direction, there are so many hiking trails nearby! I also loved the updated windows in the outside with the original, swing open windows in the inside. We opened out inner windows to get fresh air and listen to the creek thru the screens. Despite it's age, this is one of the cleanest rentals I've ever stayed in. There is a lot of attention to detail. If I had to find fault with anything, it's that the water pressure is really low in the showers, but I was just greatful to have a shower so it didn't bother me. Use the shower upstairs, it heats up faster. The stove downstairs works really well, our dog loved curling up next to it. We also spent a lot of time sitting in the front porch while our dog explored the huge, beautiful yard. If we hike this area again, this would be our first choice.

Perfect Mountain Retreat

My wife and I were blown away by this cabin. Going from the desert to here felt like traveling to another planet. The property is private with every amenity you could want or need. The hosts were very quick with communication. 5 stars, would love to rent again!
