3 nights at ALMOST TO CANADA - FAR NORTH IDAHO

We had a lovely experience in the cabin. It's a beautiful property and the cabin had thoughtful amenities. We really enjoyed the river views and the swing. The playset was great for kids.

Wow. What a beautiful space. While we weren’t fortunate enough to get to meet Paul, we did get to enjoy a perfectly serene get away. The grounds are so quiet and gorgeous. The cabin was the perfect accommodation for my husband, our dog and I. Leaving feeling refreshed and relaxed after four days of low key nature living!

1 night at Hollyhock Homestead

The Cabin had everything you need and was laid out perfectly to house 3-4 comfortably. Dario was extremely accommodating and helpful with checking in and packing out

Dario’s Cabin was great. If you’re going in the winter after a storm I recommend studded tires, snow chains, or even just parking down the hill. Full disclosure: I slid off the road about 600ft from the apartment. Dario lives on the property too and he was very responsive and ready to help dig out the car. Luckily I was able to get out myself. As for the cabin, it was just as advertised. If I weren’t moving back east I would definitely come back soon.

Great experience. Stayed six nights while up in area for deer hunting and visiting friends nearby. All the amenities needed for my stay. Host is very accommodating and quick to reply with any questions. Will stay again when I come back up.

The cabin is very nice and the environment is beautiful. Paul was very informative and everything was as he described. The place is eay to find and the access road is fine for any vehicle. We were there late season the wood stove was awsome.

Phoenix Rising Ranch

5 sites · Lodging, RVs, Tents20 acres · Priest River, ID

This is a very private and quiet place, more of a sanctuary and not a party place. The only thing you hear is nature, a breeze through the pine trees, the birds, and the creek. This property was and is an organic permaculture farm in the forest. There are two orchards and an organic garden. The water is from a spring. The La Luna cabin is off-grid with an option to plugin if needed. Hot Showers at my cabins are private and outdoors. There's nothing more wonderful than a hot spring-fed shower. The toilets are composting. (No water is wasted here)! Two of the cabins were built from the trees on the property by the first family that lived here in the earlier 1900s. The Birds Nest cabin was originally a tool shed that needed a LOT of Love to be in the condition that it is today. It does have power, running water and wi-fi. There is the option to take an acrylic painting class, banjo, guitar or fiddle lessons, paddleboard lessons, and have a real old-timey campfire with a glass of wine or two with live music performed by our famous Fiddlin Red on the fiddle, banjo, and guitar. Your experience here may change your life forever! We haven't added all the experiential options yet, so if there is something you are interested in please inquire. Every year we make it more and more magical and interesting. It's four miles up a county-maintained dirt road and one mile to a non-motorized lake. I can't see my neighbors, but they are awesome artists and musicians and some of them are off the grid! If you're bringing a pet, they must be on a leash and be quiet pets. If you are bringing a child they also need to be quiet and respectful. I want to keep my neighbors and my other guests happy with a peaceful atmosphere. Thank you!
