About the host
Your host
My husband Dan and I are the owners & stewards of the Historic Hot Spring Ranch on the South Fork of the Payette River. We have my beautiful mom to thank for helping us get the courage up to build a business around this spiritual place. She knew what a truly unique experience we could offer and what a dream come true it was, and still is, for us.
Geothermal water has always enchanted us and we have distinct memories of soaking across the river at the public Campground Hot Spring, wondering just what the hell was going on over here. One day, we were driving by and saw a for sale sign on the property. Out of sheer curiosity, my mom called the realtor. A deal was in play, but they made fast friends and she promised to call us if it fell through. We got that call on a Tuesday, drove up from Boise that afternoon to meet her. The second I rounded the corner of the old ranch house and saw the pool, a complete vision struck me and I knew our lives were about to change forever.
Dan being an Idaho native and me a transplant from Riverton, Wyoming, we met and lived in Boise for almost 20 years; escaping to the mountains every chance we had. We backpacked all over; enjoying the most amazing views and backcountry soaks there are to be had. We moved here full time July 1st, 2018. My mom lived with us and soaked everyday, helping us clean the place up and make a long term business plan before she succumbed to lung cancer in May of 2019. After a lot of work, we started hosting January 1st, 2021. Along the way, we have met amazing people who've made the work more than worth it. We're excited to be part of the VRBO community.
Being here is in itself an escape and lord knows, now more than ever, we all need a safe place to feel grounded, loved, and accepted. We wake each day pinching ourselves with gratitude and striving to honor my mom's legacy, make her proud, and continue to build our tribe of like-minded, robe-life loving kindred spirits. Namaste everyone🙏

Why they chose this property
You'll get to see the geothermal source flowing from deep within the Earth up close and soak where the hot water flows into the river, all while being showered by a hot water fountain. If you've ever soaked across the river at Campground Hot Spring and wondered what the heck is on the other side of the river, this is your chance to find out. While untold people, dogs, and babies pile into basically a communal bathtub about the size of our shallow end, you'll feel like hot spring royalty enjoying a pool big enough to swim in, all to yourselves. Surrounded by mountain views and open space, with lots of activities to enjoy and places to discover, two nights is barely enough time to take it all in.
What makes this property unique
No other listing anywhere near here offers what we do and the price per night is exceptional given everything there is to enjoy. The closest comparable listing having a private geothermal pool you can, not just soak in, but swim in, with a kitchen, will cost you over $1000 more for the same stay.
True, the set up is a little quirky, but a twist in perspective replaces hesitation with celebration: Not having a kitchen means you don't have to spend time cooking, cleaning up, or doing dishes. Instead, support the locally owned restaurants & market in Crouch, about 15 minutes from us, bring food you've prepped ahead of time, or plan to use the grill.
The separate bathroom space provides perfect separation from the bungalow to keep the romance alive and at night provides a chance to see the stars at their best. Back in the day, the folks who homesteaded here had to walk to a cold outhouse with who knows what waiting inside. Nowadays, your private bathroom provides endless hot water and doubles as a convenient changing room, being just steps away from the largest private hot spring pool in the valley.
A secluded fairy tale garden offers a soaker tub at the base of a small waterfall. Choose from multiple river view seating areas, a private beach, and a plethora of outdoor games. This property is truly, one of a kind, and we invite you to come feel the magic for yourselves. Dreams do come true and karma is real; this place is living proof of that💫
