We have also added potable well water at the cabin with a watershed equipped with a sink and spigot. No more need to haul water from our host cabin ! You are in a forest on land shaped by the last Ice Age, The forest has nurtured generations of of wildlife including majestic birds of prey. It sustained the Kootenai People before borders separated their lands. It saw determined miners pass this way seeking their fortune in gold from British Columbia. This forest supplied timber to build railroads and homes for families in the western migration. Our family is the current steward of this forest and it is our wish to respectfully share its beauty and observe its wildlife with your family and friends! Our Forest is surrounded by Kaniksu National Forest which is managed by the United States Forest Service (USFS) as part of the Idaho Panhandle. National Forest..

Iron Horse Forest River Cabin

AMAZING slice of heaven!!!

This is such a beautiful hidden gem that has everything you need for this calm and peaceful getaway. The cabin is perfect as it has all the amenities you could need in the wilderness! Although we came on the off season when the full amenities of the shower were already winterized (which Paul had already let us know), we didn’t let that stop us from enjoying all there is out here! Paul is an amazing host who really has a wonderful set up! Cozying up by the fire pit that’s riverside was so amazing, too! We even saw a deer in the river right near where we were! We hope other Hipcampers have so much fun here just as we did! Thanks for sharing this little peace of Heaven with us Paul!

A good place to unplug

It's just right. Has some internet in case of emergencies and you need to text someone, but not enough to stream TikTok. Otherwise, you feel way out there, which is what we wanted. The dog loves the place, and the fire pit next to the river is awesome. Looking forward to staying there again.

Beautiful Surroundings

This was a perfect camp site. Situated on the Moyie river not far from the Canadian border, many sites to see in a picturesque setting. Paul the host was terrific, and always communicated well when asked questions on line. We will return, no doubt.
