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!

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.

Had a great weekend at the cabin. Lots of nice touches and what a serene setting only 15 minutes from Salmon.

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!

A great place for a real cabin experience! We stayed warm all night (in the winter) with just the electric heater provided.

Doug & Shannon’s cabin is very charming. It’s far enough away from the main house to be private but close enough for anything you might need from Doug & Shannon. They were very generous supplying us plenty of wood and lots of blankets in light of the extreme cold temperatures that were forecasted, they even offered us their guest room. The wood stove thankfully does get the cabin nice and toasty once you get a fire going. All in all, it was a perfect stay for our weekend.

Doug and Shannon’s spot was perfect for our family. Our 2 girls slept in the cabin and my wife and I camped on the lawn. We enjoyed cooking our dinners outside and enjoying the sound of the creek. It’s a very quiet spot that is about 15 minutes from Salmon. Conveniently located to all the area has to offer.

This was a very relaxing place to land in the evenings after exploring the Salmon area. We loved the sound of the creek, the singing of the birds, and the chairs around the fire pit.

I was in need of respite from a really hard year. Doug & Shannon were amazing!!! The cabin was beyond RAD and they were so kind, understanding, and hospitable. I received a welcome basket complete with pastries. My firewood was split and delivered daily. I highly recommend this host and spot to everyone. If you are seeking solace in a beautiful spot with kind and generous hosts, this place is for you.

Doug and Shannon have a beautiful property and were so hospitable and easy to work with. We miss them already! Camp site was easy to find and a perfect base for golfing and rafting in Salmon, ID.

Doug and Shannon's place in the quakies was beautiful. Due to our short stay we didn't get a chance to meet but it was clear where we were suppose to go with well thought out amenities. We didn't have any other campers around at the time and it was definitely Quiet in the Quakies.

Quiet in the Quakies
This is our favorite place to stay in Salmon -- peaceful, accessible, and truly quiet. Shannon is a friendly and thoughtful host and helped us with a few random things in the midst of getting ready for the annual Lavender Festival she hosts on her main property. We will definitely be back again! :)

Quiet in the Quakies
We loved our stay here. The hosts made our stay very special for my kids by inviting us into their house to see their amazing collection of arrowheads. The campsite was beautiful. Pots and pans of various sizes and types were available for cooking, which was an unexpected perk. I hope we get the chance to stay here again.

We just had the most wonderful family reunion at this little slice of heaven. Shannon and Doug could not have been more gracious and welcoming hosts. We had a large group and booked the cabin with five camp sites for our reunion. It was perfect! It felt very secluded, was beautiful next to the creek surrounded by aspens. My family all said we should come back and make this our destination for future gatherings. It’s close to many fun outings and adventurous activities. The cabin was exactly what we needed for my mom who was recovering from a surgery. It was very easy to get to and although it felt secluded with nature surrounding us, it is quite close to town with access to services. It was fun to have the sound of the creek nearby with birds, deer and turkeys around. I highly recommend this spot! Doug and Shannon are fabulous hosts!

We love love LOVED staying at Quiet at the Quakies!! Our site was perched atop a hill with amazing views, between two beds of lavender. The sound of the creek was lovely and we got to see a couple bats come out at dusk. Firewood and toilet paper were a-plenty and the soapmaking was super fun and educational. Doug and Shannon were more than accommodating and wonderful to work with. We are looking forward to returning with friends and family, sooner rather than later!

Stayed at site 4, close to the stream running by the property. Beautiful location and quiet. Driving to and from 93 to get there, we saw a faun and her mother, turkeys, and red-headed woodpeckers. The fire ring and free firewood made cooking and the evenings very pleasant. At night, the milky way was clear. Plenty of room to park our Santa Fe, and set up a large tent and chairs. The porta-potty nearby was very convenient. Some of the other campers at the site wished to keep to themselves and others were friendly. Would definitely stay again!

Quiet in the Quakies
A wonderful hipcamp experience. The setting was peaceful and quiet. Tons of firewood. We went on July 4th weekend so all the sites were taken but we had no problems at all with privacy. The portapotty was the cleanest I've ever seen. The sound of the creek was wonderful. Communication with Shannon was excellent. Please know you need to bring your own water in or get it from the creek. We would definitely come back again!

We had a great time at Doug & Shannon's cabin! Shannon was super helpful and communicative and let us shower up at her main house. It was pretty cold when we went but the little heater and wood burning range helped :) Such a beautiful area with a ski resort and hot springs near by.

Doug and Shannon’s lands were amazing and we would definitely car camp here again. We slept right next to a creek and in the morning we spotted wild animals like turkeys and deers. We got in pretty late but Shannon made sure we arrived safely and even greeted us with oranges in the morning. Everything was great. 10/10 recommendation.

We loved staying in the cabin on Doug and Shannon’s beautiful property. We stayed warm and cozy with the wood fired cook stove. The fact that my husband likes chopping firewood and that I liked cooking on the wood cook stove made it extra fun for us. Shannon was incredibly welcoming and thoughtful. We enjoyed seeing the winter wildlife including bald eagles, deer, and wild turkeys.
The cabin looked so picturesque in the snow, I only wish we’d had more of it!

The camp site was in a quiet, remote area and well laid out with a small creek on one boundary. The sites are mostly level and well spaced. I stayed in a 20' long trailer and wouldn't recommend anything larger as the entry was a little narrow. I had to check out early due to mechanical problems. Salmon is a cool, little town just down the road.

A beautiful meadow nestled down by the creek. Offers ample seating around each campfire. And my favorite, a swinging bench that faces the sun lit creek. They also have a two top burner and pots available for camp cooking.
Very responsive hosts.
Good hiking in the area.
10/10 highly recommend.
