The property was a great home away from home, with a simple check-in process. We arrived a little early and messaged Gina, who was accommodating. We didn’t have to work with her much, because everything was either communicated or documented clearly. Beautiful property along the Salmon River with fantastic views and home base for us. Thank you Gina and Mike!

The cabin was perfect it felt to us like going to visit your grandparents. A warm inviting home with everything you could need onsite & beautiful views. We enjoyed sitting out back by the river at sunset & listening to the river flow by. Everything was very clean & tidy. We hope to return in the future!

There isn’t to many beautiful places that are off the beaten path anymore. However that was one of em. Right on the water. It was a blast from the past with old fashioned/very unique. I didn’t have too many options but I tried to extend my stay just because of how pretty it was. Perfect place to try your hand at fly fishing or just taking a cool dip in the water. Beautiful views. The oweners where very friendly and quick to respond. I would say 10 out of 10. If u wat a small beautiful taste of off the grid.

Great location and scenery!! Wonderful large deck to take in the river view. Only issue was the door key/lock was a bit tough to operate.

Great Location/Setting

We really enjoyed our stay. Mornings on the deck out back overlooking the Salmon River is as good as it gets. Easy access to both Salmon and Challis.

We have stayed on this property before. Great location and the cabin is well kept and has everything we need. It would be nice to have a bit of a choice for TV for later at night but that is a minor detail.

Salmon River house

The house was very comfortable and nice. Loved being right on the river. The games in the house for the kids were excellent. If we get the chance to go to Salmon again I would definitely try to get this house again

Hidden gem

The cabin was perfect! It had such charm and is so unique, and yet also has all the amenities that we needed! The deck is glorious, and my son loved fishing in the river. The birds are wonderful to watch and listen to, and we were so delighted with the two baby deer and their momma who were frequent visitors. We found the location to be ideal to explore the area. We would absolutely stay here again!

Nice house on the river

The house is on a lovely lot with trees and a big deck, a few feet from the Salmon River. The beds were comfortable and the internet service was good. The location was perfect for us about midway between Challis and Salmon. The only drawback is there is a lot of highway noise from Route 93, so although the setting is quite lovely it’s not really peaceful. Would stay again.

Cabin by the river

This was a wonderful experience, the cabin was very nice and right on the river. It had an amazing deck with a great view. My husband did fly fishing right out front and had a good time, he caught several cut throat trout. It was very relaxing and would definitely recommend it to anyone. Would definitely do it again.

Charming cabin

Let me start by saying that the pictures do not do this cabin justice. It is such a beautiful, cozy, inviting place. We loved spending our days on the deck and watching the river flow by. It is such a beautiful setting. The bed was comfortable and the kitchen had all the supplies we could want or need. We had a family of deer visit every night and a bald eagle would fly above the river while we ate dinner outside. It is a truly special place.
