My five year old daughter says it was the best sleep of her life. Overall the place was great. We loved being so close to the trail.

Thank you so much for the wonderful review! We absolutely love hearing that your daughter said it was the best sleep of her life, that made our day! 🥰 We’re so glad you enjoyed your stay and loved being just steps away from the trail. It was a pleasure hosting your family, and we hope you’ll come back and stay with us again!
"Blue Bear" was even more beautiful than the pictures listed! The location could not have been more perfect! Gorgeous mountains and lakes just outside the door! We loved exploring the hiking trails. We even got to see a moose on one of the drives up to cabin. We fell in love with Idaho Sorings a few years ago and so happy to have found this property for future visits!
