Orofino, ID · 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

Priest River, ID · 5 sites · Tents, RVs, Lodging
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 no longer off grid, but if the power does go out, it's a great place to be.. 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!

It doesn’t get much prettier than the Idaho panhandle. Situated between Big Sky Country of Montana and the vibrant evergreen fields of Washington (which seriously look Photoshopped to the naked eye), this forest holds more than half the state’s surface waters, and wilderness vibes are guaranteed by the deer, elk, bear, caribou, and wolf populations who call this spot home. Moist maritime air comes in from the Pacific coast, and historic cabins dot the landscape. Near Spokane and the border can get busy on the weekends, but with this much acreage you can always find seclusion here. Make sure to check out at least a portion of the bikeable and walkable Hiawatha Trail—weaving 15 miles through tunnels and across high steel trestles in the Bitterroot Mountains, it’s been called one of the most scenic stretches of railroad in the country.

You could say Boise National Forest is in the tri-forest area. It is surrounded on all sides by Payette, Salmon-Challis, and Sawtooth National Forests, it is situated conveniently close to both urban fun in Boise, and limitless wilderness adventures everywhere else. Alpine tundra is dotted with evergreen forest in the green rolling hills here, topped with snow, and anchored by sparkling valley waterways. The Payette River is great for rafting, while Banks Beach and Beehive Bend are just some of the prime access points on the forest’s 250 lakes and reservoirs (Arrowrock Reservoir has surprisingly primo salmon fishing for central Idaho). Hikers will find 500 trails, including some that lead to 360-panoramic views at fire lookouts. The ambitious should try 10,000-foot high Trinity Mountain, while more liesurely trekkers will get just as good a view at Silver Creek. As if that’s not all enough to keep you busy, there are also endless mountain biking trails, including a scenic route along Shafer Butte. You’ll have your hands full at this intersection of so many great parks!

Snug tiny 8’x12’ bungalow in the woods with everything you need for a not-so-rustic camping experience, surrounded by a forested mountainside. Inside, you’ll find a cozy full-size bed with extra blankets and pillows, a rocking chair, and a small wardrobe. Just outside, there’s a level 8’x8’ tent platform for extra space. Enjoy a big patio with a swing, an outdoor kitchen with seating for four, a fire pit, room to park—and even ingredients for s’mores. The bungalow has power for lights and charging your gadgets, while fresh water comes from a 2.5-gallon spigot tank filled from our deep well. A private, breezy outdoor potty with a bucket toilet is included (and doesn’t stink—we promise!). The outdoor kitchen features a camp stove, sink, counter space, cooking utensils, camp dishes, and more. The outdoor adventure here is endless. Turn right up the road—part of the Idaho Centennial Trail—to explore hundreds of square miles of roads, trails, wildlife, mountains, and rivers. It’s perfect for mountain biking, hunting, or seasonal huckleberry and mushroom picking. Turn left and you’re minutes from Montana, or head to the endlessly scenic Clark Fork River and delta with its dozens of wooded islands. Bring your water toys to enjoy vast Lake Pend Oreille—Idaho’s largest lake and the fifth deepest in the nation—for fishing, boating, swimming, paddling, kayaking, or canoeing. Just across the river, the huge Lightning Creek drainage offers backpacking, hiking, mountain biking, and endless exploring.

Relax with the whole family at this peaceful place to stay. Nestled on a pristine, forested 5-acre property, this cabin is close to Schweitzer Mountain (world-class skiing) and Lake Pend Oreille, a summer paradise for boating, eagle watching, and outstanding fishing. The Space This cabin in the woods of North Idaho is located on 5 acres of pine forest between the Selkirk and Cabinet Mountain ranges. Explore the property on leisurely walks through the pines, relax on the covered deck with outdoor space heaters and plenty of seating, or watch TV from the spacious outdoor deck. Enjoy the west deck for nighttime stargazing and fresh mountain air while overlooking the "Swinging Moose" BBQ area. The backyard is enclosed with chain-link fencing, allowing pets the freedom to enjoy the outdoors while you're away. The fenced area also helps separate pets from the BBQ area and the front (east) deck, so you can enjoy meals and relaxation without interruption. Both bedrooms have direct access to the decks, allowing you to come and go without disturbing anyone else. Guest Access The entire upper floor of the cabin is available for guest use. The garage area below is currently unavailable; however, there is abundant parking at both the upper and lower access points to the cabin. Other Things to Note Guests are welcome to use the firewood provided on the east deck for both the upper and lower fire pits. The upper fire pit is located next to the main (east) deck and offers a more intimate setting, along with the convenience of being close to the cabin. The lower fire pit accommodates larger gatherings and is located next to the lower lawn and an enclosed, bug-free picnic area for outdoor enjoyment. We call this area the "Social Networking Site." There is abundant space to enjoy the great outdoors on the property, with nearby opportunities for hiking, swimming, skiing, and even floating the Pack River in early summer. The Blue Heron Restaurant is within walking distance (0.8 miles) and has a reputation as one of the best prime rib restaurants in the county. The restaurant also features an impressive permanent stage and grounds that include playground equipment, horseshoe pits, and fabulous views of Walsh Lake and Roman Nose Peak in the Selkirk Mountains.
