Best stay by FAR my first review i have ever wrote

I honestly have never wrote a review because we usually have good stays and nothing to really complain about.. but nothing out of this world. This stay.. AMAZING. We loved every part of it. the accuracy of the listing, the whole property, the river, the privateness, everything that you need or could think of is there. They put so much thought and work into this place you HAVE to stay here. The cabin is so comfy and beautiful. Beds are so comfy, entertainment wise they have whatever you need. Huge beautiful yard with a river in back. A fun lake to also fish at just a couple minutes away. We live in minnesota, but we will make trips back to idaho JUST to be able to stay at this cabin. On top of it our dogs LOVED it so much. The owners are super nice as well, if you don’t want to be bothered they will not bother you. If you do want to chat, they are willing and super friendly! Thank you so much! Hoping to be back to stay sometime soon :)

Relaxing vacation

Staying at the Little moose cabin was so relaxing. Every day we enjoyed sitting on the dock by the river, it was one of our favorite things to do. We went to several close by waterfalls. They are a must see. We also traveled to Canada one day.

The best get-away

3rd (or 4th?) time at Little Moose and it’s still the best. Location, location, location. The view to the river is beautiful (and functional for kayakers / floaters). Sinclair lake in walking distance and Robinson lake a short drive are great fishing spots. Love the Little Moose, always in our hearts and minds, thank you for sharing this property!

Perfect!

Wonderful cabin with top notch details throughout. Wine, coffee, use of kayaks, bikes and tubes. Although the river was low in front to fish, we enjoyed the water. Lots of lakes around to fish with beautiful scenery. The host responded quickly to any questions we had. Beds were comfortable and our son loved the loft to himself. We also had our two dogs who also loved all the space. We hope to return next year!

Amazing as always

My family and I always enjoy staying at this cabin and enjoy the hard work that the owner puts into it. It’s always incredibly clean and there is so much to do while there. We spent time down at the Sinclair lake and on the river, we especially love the view of it from the hot tub. Will be renting again next August .

Loved every minute

We absolutely loved our stay at Little Moose—it is located in a beautiful, peaceful setting along the river with the large yard, covered porch and deck over the water. Our weekend was planned for relaxing but there are so many outdoor activities made available and convenient for guests who choose to take advantage of them. The cabin is comfortable and well-appointed, and we are hoping to be return guests in the fall!

Bliss

Such a lovely, thoughtful home. Great attention to details which was noted and appreciated and we look forward to future visits ! Endless entertainment from watching the critters across the river was a great bonus not to be missed and we very much enjoyed the overall experience/adventure of our 3- days, only wish it had been longer [ have to book quicker next year as that was all that was open ] and you will too.

About the host

Hosted by Butch Short

Host profile image
We have owned and operated an outdoor store "Far-North Outfitters" in Bonners Ferry for 28 years, through out those years we have had many inquiries, as to if there was a log cabin on the river for rent, since we knew of no actual log cabins, right on the river, we set out to find the perfect spot ( took 5 years ), and build one ( 2 more years )..... And now, is completed and ready to be relaxed in....

Why they chose this property

I chose this spot specifically because it's right in the middle of all the things we did with our 4 daughters growing up in the 80's.., floating the Moyie River, Hiking to Copper Creek Falls, swimming in the pools, picking huckleberries up Deer Ridge, fishing at Robinson and Sinclair Lakes, having dinners at Fiest Creek Resort, feeding the huge trout in the pond etc... Because of the beauty and uniqueness of Far-North Idaho , We wanted to share this with others as well as always having a place, no matter what crazy place they end up, that they can come back to , to reground , and to share with their children.
