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.

Great little spot - cozy and just what we needed for an overnight near WSU. The owners had everything warmed up for us when we got there, it was so nice to come into a cozy space during the cold month of October. We also got a quick peek at the horses and sheep in the morning which was fun! Thank you for making things cozy.

Weekend Trip to Secluded TimberframeTree House

If you’re even thinking about booking the treehouse, do it. The bed was insanely comfortable (like, slept-better-than-I-do-at-home comfortable). Woke up to the soft morning light and trees swaying outside the window like a real-life screensaver. The cedar soaking tub? Unreal. Perfect for stargazing, unwinding, or just pretending you're in a fancy spa tucked in the woods. Every little detail felt intentional, cozy, and peaceful. A total reset. Highly recommend if you’re craving quiet, nature, or just a place that feels like a deep breath. I’d stay here again in a heartbeat. You should too.

Weekend Trip to Butterfield Meadows

A beautiful property...it was the perfect location for us to try our first 'boondocking' weekend. Very quiet and serene, completely off-grid. Corlene and her husband were gracious hosts. The only thing I would say is, ask Corlene or her husband where the best place is to pull in...suggested areas weren't marked and we were worried about swampy areas. Highly recommend if you are visiting the area.

6 nights at Little Hawk Landing

Little Hawk Landing is a great camping spot. It is perfectly situated, so that hiking, biking and kayaking are all within 20-30 minutes. The town of Deary is 5-10 minutes away. The site is on a dirt road off hwy 9 and there is a minimal amount of traffic as neighbors go by, but it was definitely quiet and private. The site was clean, level and easy to get into and out of. Chris was extremely responsive any time I had a question. She did stop by to check on us, but left us to ourselves. We had no doubt she'd have been right there had we had a problem, but everything was in perfect order. She even left us a stack of firewood and a firepit to burn it in! I highly recommend Little Hawk Landing.
