Idaho oh Idaho. You never disappoint. The Salmon-Challis National Forest represents this flawlessly. Rugged mountains give way to untamed rivers; granite peaks gaze over sapphire alpine lakes; whitewater rafters cascade through rapids; and each day’s quest can lead to a different trail in the epic Frank Church-River of No Return Wilderness, which happens to be the largest contiguous wilderness area in the continental United States! Rugged and remote, this country offers millions of acres filled with breathtaking views from gravel roads, enough fish to stock your freezer all winter, and groves of cedar trees where you can set up your tent and peer out to the ocean of stars. At night listen to the coyotes call, the owls hoot, and the clink of cans as you toast to this recreational heaven. Idaho of Idaho, you are so much more than just a potato!

We had a great stay at Doug and Shannon’s cabin! Located close to Salmon, but still remote and private. We stayed plenty warm in the cabin, and enjoyed the swing by the water. Would definitely recommend and would stay again next time we are in the area!

Weekend Trip to The Meadow

This was a very cute and homey cabin, perfect for a weekend getaway with my boyfriend. He originally wanted to camp, so even though the cabin is rustic, it was perfect for us. I especially enjoyed sitting on the loveseat on the porch. And having a coffee maker! The hosts were so friendly and welcoming.

Cheri and Tom were super host. They provided us with fresh cherries from their trees, did us a huge favor, directed us to local attraction and were so easy to communicate with. The level camping spot was a short walk to the river, which was great for our 6 yr old grandson. He had a blast catching trout for dinner. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND and would definitely stay again.

An absolutely lovely spot to relax for a day or a week. We wish we could have stayed all month! The creek rushes by, cold and perfectly refreshing on a hot day. The cabin is adorable, comfortable, and well supplied. The outdoor kitchen, including fire pit, has everything one needs to cook gourmet camp meals and clean up afterwards. The nearby aspen groves are perfect for hammocks and shade any time of day. We had just enough cell service (Verizon) in the meadow to stream Spotify and check our phones occasionally, though we did our best to keep them hidden away. Hosts are delightful—welcoming, accommodating, and generous. We bought lavender lotions and lip balm made right on site and enjoyed conversations with the whole family. We will definitely be back, hopefully soon!

We had such a nice stay at this cozy rustic cabin! Great hosts, and great location. We recommend! No cell service, and limited power, which is perfect by us! Comfy bed, and good views during the day! A good spot to disconnect and relax on a winter night. Thanks!

We had the opportunity to stay at Shannon and Doug’s cabin on a weekend trip to Salmon/hotsprings. It was the perfect spot! Peaceful, quiet, and thoughtfully furnished. Hosts were accommodating and welcoming. We hope to return!
