About this property

Get away from it all

  • Enjoy end of the dirt road privacy with your stay at this beautiful log home on Mill Creek. Just a few miles from Challis this property is situated perfectly for all your outdoor adventures and makes a perfect touring stop. Located just off the Custer Motorway we are minutes from the Frank Church River of No Return Wilderness, the Salmon River, multiple high mountain lakes and surrounded by thousands of square miles of public land, so whether you are hunting, fishing, hiking, skiing, rafting, riding ATV’s or just seeing the country it can all be done from here. The cabin is 900 ft+ with a huge wrap around porch including a gas grill and furniture for both dining and lounging. Retreat to the fire pit after dinner and enjoy the clear dark sky. The cabin sleeps 5 and is complete with full kitchen and dining, stack washer/ dryer, beautiful bathroom with tile shower, TV/DVD player, assorted family friendly DVDs, a collection of books and board games. We have ample parking for ATVs and trailers. We have corrals for use and horses are welcome, sorry no dogs. So if you want to unplug and trade the sound of traffic for wind through the cottonwoods and the creek tumbling over rocks come stay at Mill Creek Ranch.

This was the perfect little getaway place to unplug and recharge. The cabin is wonderfully secluded from the world, allowing us to truly relax in a beautiful natural setting. We couldn't have asked for a more peaceful and restorative trip.

Great property and welcoming hosts

The well-appointed cabin was very comfortable and peaceful. Jessie and Cleve did a wonderful job on the restorations and are wonderful hosts. I would definitely recommend the cabin to anyone looking for accommodations in the Challis area. I wish we had planned to stay longer - would love to go back someday.

AMAZING! Everything was absolutely wonderful! The host was so kind and we enjoyed chatting with her. The animals were a big highlight and our kid's didnt want to leave them (dogs, cats, goats, chickens and ducks). The cabin exceeded our expectations. It was so cozy, decorated wonderfully, the games and puzzles were so nice to have, the fire pit and all the other outside features kept us busy. The beds and bedding were so comfortable, some of the best sleep we had on our trip. I can't recommend this place enough!

Gorgeous cabin with amazing location

We came into Challis for a weekend wrestling tournament. We didn’t want to leave the cabin it is amazing. So homey and the 360* views take your breath away! We were so sad to have to leave early for an unexpected event back home. We really can’t wait to make plans to come back and stay.

Outstanding!!!!

Property tucked away in its own haven yet just 5-7 miles from town. Perfectly situated amidst a canyon with its very own creekside setting. House was very tastefully decourated with all amenities needed. Host was exceptional! Highly recommend.

Beautiful!

Beautiful! It was a relaxing vacation with my family. She left us the sweetest note welcoming us into the home along with lotion & eggs. The home was on their ranch in a quiet area with a creek right outside. We can’t wait to come back next year! They were amazing hosts!

The perfect getaway!!

My boys and a couple friends wanted to do some UTV/ dirt bike riding in the area. This beautiful rustic cabin ended up being the perfect place to stay. It was very clean and spacious and far exceeded our expectations. Jessica was very friendly and made us feel so welcome. We also loved her amazing dogs. They sat by the fire with us every night. I highly recommend this stay. You won’t regret it.

Great little cabin we had an awesome time exploring the area. The animals were really fun to visit with each day. The owner was very friendly and the place was very well kept. We went up the mountain road next to the cabin and checked out the Milky Way it was beautiful.

The cabin was wonderful, cozy, peaceful and relaxing. The kitchen was fully stocked with everything to make a yummy meal. We were so glad we met the host and to hear about the property and their future plans. We would definitely stay there again as opposed to staying in town.

Words cannot describe how much we loved staying here!! When we booked this place, we thought we were just getting a small, affordable cabin — but we were pleasantly surprised! It turned out to be so much more. There was plenty of comfy space for the two of us, and the peaceful, tranquil setting was exactly what we needed to relax and recharge. It truly felt like a hidden gem and gave us the perfect opportunity to fill our buckets. We’ll definitely be back!
