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.
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.
My brother and I loved the property and its surroundings. Very nicely equipped and decorated. Highlight was being greeted by Enos, and sometimes by Frea.
What a spectacular place for us East coasters to stay! Beautiful land, friendly animals, homey cabin and a beautiful view. Next time we are in the area, we will stay there again.!
This is a beautiful property with a nicely decorated, clean and comfortable cabin. The host is very friendly and thoughtful to anticipate everything we might need. Highly recommended for a quiet mountain get-away.

A great spot!! Very well appointed cabin, with a well-stocked kitchen and game cabinet! We had a great time, albeit one night was much to short!!
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!
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.
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.
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.
Beautiful property that has hidden gems outside as well as inside. Jessie was very accommodating and the cabin was super clean and very well stocked. We had such a great trip. The kids didn't want to leave!
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!
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.
The cabin was very comfortable and well decorated. There were some very nice touches that Jessica included like homemade soap and fresh chicken eggs. I especially liked the view and the gurgling creek that's in the back yard. I was able to meet Jessica the owner and she is great. This is a very safe place, and we will be booking another stay for 2026.
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!

This property is at the end of the road surrounded by public ground, you'll have beautiful scenery and a break from the sounds of the city. The days are serene and the night sky is amazing. We have all the trimmings for a great experience, including fire pit, a gas grill, large porch, ample parking and horse accommodations, all from a perfect jump off spot to explore the vast BLM, Forrest Service and Wilderness areas of eastern Idaho.
What makes this property unique
Horse property, private road. Year round creek. ATV access to the Custer Motorway and many other primitive roads.
