"Had a problem with door code that was not the owners fault. She and Vrbo fairly quickly got it straightened out. We were traveling on utv’s over the old wagon road from elk city. One of our machines had a breakdown just before we got to our room. Host was nice enough to let us park machine there until we could retrieve it, and offered us a free nights stay! You can’t find people like that much anymore.!"

Cabin overlooking Salmon River south of White Bird - Family friendly + Starlink!

10/10 Excellent
"Awesome property and hosts! The house was clean, stocked, comfortable, extremely/reasonably priced-- has wonderful views, wildlife and a very peaceful vibe. Close to all the outstanding outdoor activities....like jet boating Hells Canyon and a cute park on the Salmon river with shade, a great beach less than a mile from the house. Had some awesome sleep as the furnishings were very comfortable and inviting. Hosts were informative, timely and most accommodating...it was a pleasure to interact with them and the local caretaker.We travel a lot and this was a very special stay...would rebook in a heartbeat as it was the perfect getaway from stress and city life. Nature was the focus while being most comfortable in this property."

"Very lovely cabin to stay in. We were staying as a group of four to get away to the river and woods. All fit comfortably. The outside grill provided was also great, the outside area was nice to eat dinner. When we called the host to ask about something she was very kind and helped us. This cabin is on my list for the next time we drive up the clearwater."

10/10 Excellent
"We held our family reunion at this property. There was so much to do on site, at the lodge and with surrounding property. The children loved it. So did the adults. It was delightful to meet the owners and prepare for our family reunion. They were helpful and easy to communicate with. We had a water day on the Clearwater River at the lovely Smith Creek Beach and it was so much fun. We had life jackets for everyone and enjoyed a short float, playing in the sand, and bbqing hotdogs. There is a fishing pond on property with paddleboats and small kayaks. This was a popular draw for the children. There is also a zipline and equipment for all kinds of outdoor ball games. We held a successful reunion and made incredible memories."
