It truly felt like a home away from home.We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend this cabin to anyone looking for a relaxing escape.
Had a blast exploring the area and spending time with family. This place has plenty of room and plenty to do for all ages. I would recommend this place to anyone who wants a simple quiet place for a family gathering!

Thanks so much, Brett! We loved hosting your family and hope you’ll come again to enjoy all that the Lodge offers!
Everything was spectacular. Very clean and had everything we needed. The kids had fun with all the activities they have on the property. Thank you for sharing your cabin!
We had a group of 18 stay here, and ages ranged from 2-adult. Everyone had an amazing time. The owners have thought of so many small details to truly make this house a vacationer’s dream. The house was very well-stocked and so comfortable. And they have a zip-line! We would absolutely stay here again 😍

What kind words! Thank you and I’m so glad you chose The Lodge for your family gathering! Come again soon!
What an amazing place to stay. Conveniently close and far enough that you feel like you are away. Enough room to spread out and cozy enough to be close. Well stocked and easy to communicate with the wonderful hosts. If 10 stars were an option than I would give this place 10.

Why THANK YOU, Shiray! You were amazing guests and we'd love to have you come stay again ANY TIME! Highly recommend!
We had an amazing time--our favorite among four major rentals over the past decade! We highly recommend it. No one was bored ever! The only thing we did off-property was a Strawberry River hike--we just loved playing on the property.
We loved loved loved this house! It was the perfect size for our family with plenty of bedrooms and baths. There was so much to do to entertain all the grandkids. They lived on the Zipline all weekend and we loved all the trails to ride bikes and side by sides. It was just an Amazing place and we will be coming back again next year for sure.
This space, as well as the host, was nothing short of perfection. From the cleanliness and feeling of safety, to the amenities that made our stay so comfortable, to the communication skills of the host, to the nourishing land the property resides on—this space is at the top of our list for future retreats. Many lives were changed, nourished and healed during our stay and that wouldn’t have been made possible without Vanessa and her space.

Thank you for your kind words, Kambria! Your group was a pleasure to host and we look forward to having you come again soon!
We had such a wonderful time. The property was spacious and had a lot to do. We loved the zipline the most, but had fun with ping pong, pickle ball, and the fire pit. We did have a few issues (a leak in one bedroom, but the owner was immediately on it. Vanessa was very responsive all of the time. One the best owners I have worked with. We would definitely stay here again.

Allen, we were so lucky to have you as our guests during the leak because you were attentive and genuinely cared about the property!
Thanks for communicating the issue so we could get it resolved! We hope you come again!
Every year we take the family on a short trip. This lodge was voted by all as the best place we have stayed. The accommodations were wonderful and fit us well. Each age group had a place to play, visit, sleep without being in anyone’s way. Many shows were watched, games played, crafts finished and just visiting and laughing together! Vanessa was so helpful and always available to answer any questions. The zipline was a highlight for the kids. We loved everything about The Lodge! We hope to come again.

Wow, Jill! Thanks for voting us the “best place you’ve ever stayed”! We were honored to have you come and you took great care of The Lodge!
We arrived at the property wondering if it would meet our expectations given the beautiful photos and description on the website. Indeed it exceeded our expectations. The house and property were very clean and well appointed. The owners thought of everything and were very quick to respond to any questions. The sport court, zip lines and fire pit were a big hit with everyone. Pickle ball was a favorite. We would definitely stay here again.
My family and I stayed in this beautiful cabin. We were a party of 13 and it felt very spacious and comfortable. There was something to do for all ages, and space for everyone to feel included. The cabin is well maintained, extremely clean, helpful directions for absolutely everything, all while having a cute welcome package when you arrive. The views are breathtaking, (we even saw live animals one morning, while looking out the kitchen window!) and the fire pit was so much fun. Our 10 year olds loved the basketball, while, our 7 year olds loved the down stairs living room, and ping pong table! My family and I CAN NOT wait to stay here again, I thank Vanessa for being so accommodating and opening her home to us. She is an amazing host!!

Thanks so much! We loved having you and hope you’ll come again soon! I’m glad the animals stopped by to say hello!
We LOVED staying at the Family Lodge in Fruitland for our reunion! The house is super spacious with so many fun activities. We spent a lot of time on the zip line and playing pickle ball, as well as staying up late watching movies on their HUGE televisions!
Everything was clean and organized with detailed instructions.
We did have a hiccup at check in with a locked gate and wrong front door code. Normally this wouldn't be too much of an issue, but reception in Fruitland is very limited so it made contacting the host challenging. Once we got in touch, she was VERY helpful and easy to contact thanks to high quality wifi.
We would ABSOLUTELY stay here again! It was also nice feeling a little bit "off the grid" which made our reunion even more enjoyable!
We loved our week at the Old Town Lodge. Owners were so friendly and quick to reply to every inquiry. Room enough for everyone to sleep in beds although some preferred hammocks which were supplied for our use. The zipline added a lot fun to the week and the kids could not get enough. There was plenty of downed wood to gather for fires at night in the well designed and convenient firepit. (host supplied roasters and items needed for S'mores). Pebble ice machine was a bonus. Well equipped kitchen (extra fridge in the garage) with all sizes of pans and serving pieces. Gas station is only a few miles away with all basic groceries you would need. Fishing was awesome. Air conditioning worked great during those hot days we were there. Super clean and the large living room was great for the annual family talent show. Seating for everyone for meals and in living room. Honestly one of the best places we have ever stayed. We plan to return in 2025 since we are already booked for 2024 elsewhere.

Thank you, Dennis! Your family was delightful and we appreciated the way you treated our cabin as your own, even fixing a few things during your stay! So kind! Please come again! We’ll see you in 2025!
My husband and I are from Seattle, and reserved this home to celebrate my 50th birthday with local friends, and our two children who attend college in Idaho. From the day we made our booking, we could not have asked for a more friendly or communicative host. Vanessa’s main focus was that we enjoyed our vacation, and happily gave us any information that we requested. We had 9 adults and two children under the age of two in our party, and there were comfortable bedrooms for each couple with the remaining two bedrooms for the kids.
There were thoughtful touches throughout the home, from baskets of fuzzy blankets to a wood burning fireplace, to a Pac-Man arcade machine, to a welcome gift basket focused on their huge outdoor fire pit - two packets of rainbow powder to use in the fire, and all the fixings for s’mores.
Beyond the wonderful accommodations, and cherished time with my friends and family, one of my highlights was that it snowed on my birthday, March 20th - the first day of spring. If you’re looking for a place to get away from it all, you’ve found it.

Thank you for your kind words, Melinda! I'm so happy that you got your wish of snow on your birthday! Please come again soon!
This was an ideal place to gather with our children and 10 grandchildren ages 2-8. Even with the cold weather, they loved being outside--hiking around and playing on the playground or shooting baskets.
Inside was plenty of room for family games, movie nights, and sleeping. And we loved the flexibility of the "diner" area with three tables suited for crafts, eating, and games.
I don’t think the pictures do this lodge justice. It is clean and well laid out with space for everyone. We had18 family members of all ages and each person(s)had a private place. The littles loved the beds in the loft with their own light. The landscaping is beyond awesome with such fun things to do like the zip line and pickle ball court. Thank you Vanessa for making this so special for our family. We made memories we will never forget.
I hosted a Silent retreat here. This cabin is absolutely gorgeous. Vanessa the host was quick to response. The space and location was perfect for a healing weekend for people to reconnect to themselves. I hope to make this an annual tradition!
This home is well designed and equipped for a wonderful get-away for large groups. We loved the spacious great room with sofa and chairs for everyone to sit comfortably. The kitchen was well stocked and very organized. The large dining room table, diner, and outside table provided plenty of room for enjoying meals together. The double zip-line, playground, fire pit, and lighted basketball court provided plenty of fun for everyone. It was the perfect place for our family gathering.
This house is incredible. The list is long on why it's great: lots of bedrooms and bathrooms, spacious, clean, nice decoration, zipline, basketball court, pickle ball, firepit, playground, etc... Everyone in our group loved it.

About the host
Hosted by Vanessa Croshaw
We are a family of 7 and have such fond memories of "heading to the cabin" with extended family and friends. We wanted to provide that same magic for our own family and share it with you, our guests!
There's no feeling like loading up the van and the coolers and "heading for the hills" to escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life.
Everyone needs a getaway, and we are excited to provide you with just that!
Why they chose this property
We fell in love with this property for so many reasons! First, the location in the darling town of Fruitland feels like you're stepping back to a time when life was much slower, land and nature was abundant and there was nothing more on the calendar than just being together. Secondly, we loved the spacious nature of this cabin. There is room for everyone to sleep and the loft is a perfect place to make memories with cousins or close friends. Third, the kitchen is so big with endless cupboard space to keep everything organized (I love to organize!)
I could go on and on, but this cabin just felt right for us and we are excited for the opportunity to share it with YOU!
What makes this property unique
On 16.5 acres, there is plenty space to spread out, let the kids go explore safely, catch lizards, chase rabbits or drive over to Strawberry Reservoir, just 10 minutes away. The Reservoir area has been so nicely preserved that you can simply enjoy the beauty of the water and surrounding mountains, without the distraction of cabins, stores, or crowds.
