31mi from Wilderness Gateway Campground · 5 sites

Lochsa Lodge is a four-season lodge in the heart of wild Idaho! We have 19 different cabins to choose from, some rustic with no plumbing and some fully furnished with private bathroom. The main lodge has a restaurant & tavern serving breakfast, lunch, & dinner daily. Open 365 days a year. Something happens when you get way, way off the beaten path. Time gets a little slower. Your to-do lists go out the window. Out here, it’s just you and the Great Wild West, and this place is every bit as epic as the stories say. The stars are brighter, the rivers are wilder, the air is clearer, the snow is deeper. Heck, even the mountains seem higher. Before you know it, you’ll remember what it’s like to just be you, a little piece of this big earth. You’ll get back to your true nature in no time.

5 Cabins in the country!

46mi from Wilderness Gateway Campground · 6 sites

We live on 48 acres out in the country, but we are only 12–15 minutes from the town of Orofino. We have five beautiful sleeper cabins (with TVs and mini splits), and a bathroom/shower house located 10–20 feet from the cabins. There is also a game area with horseshoes and an archery lane, as well as a timber-framed gazebo for gathering and relaxing. These 5 cabins fit 10 ppl. If more people are in your group, we have a few other options to add more accommodations if we have enough time to prepare; ask for details! The cabins sit on approximately 4–5 acres of the property. We use these cabins for about nine months out of the year, so they are only available during the summer months of June, July, and August. So welcome to your stay—we’re glad you’re here. Each cabin offers a comfortable space to rest, while the shared outdoor areas give you room to gather, relax, and enjoy the surroundings. This is a place where the sunrises and sunsets are incredible, the air feels different, and the pace naturally slows down. It’s common to see wildlife throughout the property—deer, elk, and wild turkeys often pass through, especially in the early morning and evening. Keep an eye out and take it all in—it’s part of what makes this place special. Whether you’re here to explore, fish, unwind, or spend time with your group, we hope you enjoy the space, the land, and the experience. We currently have limited photos of the cabins due to weather conditions, but more will be updated in May. All five cabins have unique names and are themed after animals: • Elk Meadows • Bear Den • Turkey Flats • Cougar Basin • Deer Ridge Bathrooms → The Fishing Hole
