It simply doesn't get any better than this. A pristine cabin set on a lovely slow flowing river. Birds abound from kingfishers and bald eagles to geese and hummingbirds. Sat in the hot tub each night and reminisced about our daily adventures from huckleberry shakes, to pristine lakes, to quaint spots just across the border in Canada. Life memories were created here. Thanks so much for having us.

A magical Moyie River and Little Moose Cabin experience in Idaho. We were greeted by a juvenile moose across the river just minutes after our arrival. The area was spectacular and we even made a few trips into Canada and Montana. The property is so beautiful and peaceful. Cool during the day and cosy warm at night. Despite smoke from the fires we always felt safe and looked after. Everyone in the area was so nice. Everything about the cabin, property, and host was as advertised or better. Thanks again Butch for sharing this slice of heaven. We will be back.Georgia and Lisa, Cleveland OhioAugust 2026.

The little moose cabin was exactly what we needed. Butch has created the perfect getaway. The cabin included everything you would want to bring but wouldn't have space for! The kids loved taking the kayaks and tubes down to Sinclair lake, and playing the board games. This is such a great cabin for the family to get some much needed time together.We stayed 3 nights, and I was not ready to leave! I spent every morning drinking coffee out on the dock, and every night we snuggled up by the fireplace to watch a movie.

Idyllic

This property is perfect for the get-a-way from it all feel. It was private, large space for outdoor enjoyment, tranquility of the river and just the right size cabin. The living room is a tad small but everything else is perfectly sized for the right necessities. Check in was easy and super friendly. This was our second visit and we can't wait to return again!

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.
