About this property

A nostalgic haven beautifully located moments from the Blackfoot Reservoir

*Please be sure to read further regarding our pet policy if you are planning on bringing your furry friend along.

Whether you're seeking a peaceful retreat in nature or an adrenaline-filled outdoor adventure, Little Blue has something for everyone.

Beautifully located moments from the Blackfoot Reservoir, this peaceful and nostalgic haven offers the perfect blend of outdoor adventures with modern comforts.

Immerse yourself in the beauty and adventures of Idaho by fishing or boating the reservoir, kayaking right from Little Blue’s doorstep, exploring nature, or sharing stories around a cozy campfire.

Little Blue is a 1973 mobile home trailer that was remodeled in 2015. Its nostalgic atmosphere and spacious and shaded outdoor area has created many priceless memories for our family, and we hope the same for you!
Please note: Little Blue does not have air conditioning. LB’s temperature is usually well maintained with the ceiling and portable fans. However, some years are hotter than others. July and early August are our hottest months. We have found that keeping blinds and windows closed during the day and windows open at night helps keep temperatures manageable, if not cool.

Space for trailers, RV’s and tents available. Please reach out to host for additional information prior to booking.

Please note:
We believe pets are an important part of families. We invite your pets to stay (up to two pets per reservation), however, due to some of the challenges and damages to having pets, we have chosen to have a pet fee of $100/stay. Any pet damage repair cost beyond the pet fee will be the responsibility of the guest in which the reservation has been made. Pets are NOT to be left unattended inside or outside of the property. There is a large kennel outside that may be used for short periods at a time. Please use caution when keeping your pets outside. The weather and wildlife can be problematic. Pets must also not create a disturbance to others. Guests may be asked to leave without any refund if pets become an issue. We appreciate your understanding of these rules and welcome a conversation about your pet to sort through any details prior to booking.

Additional Little Blue instructions will be sent via message just prior to guest’s arrival. This includes passcodes for Wifi and keyless entry. Please note, cell service in this area is spotty. Most guest have not had issues connecting to WiFi calling. Cell service is also generally accessible within walking distance or a quick ride to the main road. Please note there are 6 outdoor cameras on the property (3 in front and 3 in back). This is to provide security and also to video the beautiful wildlife. We ask that you do not unplug any modem or devices. We invite a conversation around any and all concerns. Respectfully, there are no cameras inside Little Blue.

We own another cabin in this area in and also have family here. Our goal is to assist quickly as needed and able.

Our stay was good and very relaxing. Because of the water problems all over the U.S., that was a little disappointing. We could not access the water off the dock, but this was not the hosts fault. We did see a mama moose with her 2 babies right in the front yard. We also saw deer, racoons and a bald eagle. The property inside was extremely clean and very cozy. If the water level comes back up, we would come back again.

Thanks for staying with us at Little Blue, Michele! We are sad at how low the water is! Thank you for your understanding. We are hoping next year will be back to normal. Thanks for being great guests!

The place was great and exactly what we were looking for to have a quiet get-away. The property had peaceful scenery and clean accommodations. Didn't have much luck catching any fish in the nearby lake, but I know that's not at fault of the owners, just an fyi to future travelers. I will say though that the dock could use some TLC and was not super accessible for an older gentleman. And only other thing of note with the property is that the freezer part of the Refrigerator could get a bit colder; wasn't really optimum temperature for keeping ice frozen for several days. But really overall, it was a fantastic stay and would definitely recommend!

Idyllic spot

I can’t say enough about this adorable home and property. The owners ere swift the responses and kind and helpful. The property was serene, beautiful and equipped with everything we could need to enjoy our stay by the lake. The house had all the amenities necessary to make meals and enjoy the indoors as well. I highly recommend! Oh, and a shout out to the neighbors next door with the sweet little dog, she is a wonderful greeter to the neighborhood and so well trained.

Quit and fun for famlly

Easy check-in and kitchen facilities accomadating. Only thing fridge was not working very well. Accomadations were clean.We come to Soda to visit our Son and family. My husband and I are both over 70 and the smaller bathrooms were a little difficult to get around in . The son and family came out for a day and enjoyed playing on their kyaks. We all enjoyed the facility. My son was interested in maybe renting the facility for a weekend with the kids.We would get the place again.

Great place and an even greater host! The place was exactly as described on Vrbo. The host was very honest about the water conditions and told us before we booked that the water level was low and we wouldn't be able to access the water from the dock. The host kept us updated about everything and addressed any issues within minutes through text messages or the Vrbo app. The reservoir is about 15 minutes walk from the property, and the neighbors were very friendly, greeting us whenever we passed someone during our walks.There is also a big, very friendly dog in the neighborhood who never barked at us or anyone else. Whenever the dog saw us, they would peacefully walk beside us for a while. The dog seemed to have a limited territory because once we crossed a certain point, they would turn around and head back. We never found out who the owner was.We really enjoyed peaceful breakfasts and dinners in the backyard while watching birds fly over the water or swim. Overall, it was a very fun and relaxing trip.

These guests were great! Very understanding of the water conditions and of the power outage for a portion of one of the days. This was greatly appreciated. Great with communication and very clean and respectful. We would invite them back anytime!
