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.

Jessie’s place was beautiful! Had everything one could need. So refreshing to not have to worry about going to the store for dish soap and seasonings! The property was so well kept up complete with hammocks, badminton, chairs by the river and a trampoline. Our legion baseball team had the best team building bbq there one evening. Jessie has really paid attention to detail, right down to the beautiful antique furniture. Stay here. You’ll love it! Bonus-very friendly farm animals!

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.

We had a great family vacation in Challis this summer, and I'd wholeheartedly give much of the credit to our stay at Jessie and Cleve's cabin. We stayed at the smaller of two cabins, but found it to be far more spacious than expected. I think the space is used right: The sleeping areas were bit tight, but the kitchen, dining, and living areas were really open, comfortable, and well set up (even has lots of games, puzzles, movies, etc). The property is in a great setting - very private, with a big lawn and good creek access. The hosts are warm and welcoming, cabin was great, location was great... we already want to go back.There are a few cats and couple livestock guardian dogs on site, and we found them to be very sweet and friendly (dogs stay out of the yard, but like the driveway and parking area). They also have chickens, ducks and goats which are kept nearby, but are contained away from the cabin site (rooster woke me up once, so I shut the window and turned on a fan - no prob!). I can't imagine anyone having any issues, but thought someone might benefit from knowing what to expect. Jessie shared some eggs and soaps that she made. Kind of a cool experience!It took around 12 minutes to get into town - but who goes to Challis for the town!? We spent our time exploring the endless public land right out the back door. We stayed five nights, but felt like we could have stayed another five (...or more) without ever getting homesick. We're doing this again.

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!

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!

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.

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.
