  Outstanding location in the Sawtooth National Forest on the Salmon River. Driving distance to everything we wanted to see in the area.We were able to bring our dogs for a partial family reunion and gladly paid the extra deposit. We fished while watching an eagle drop from the sky into Stanley Lake right in front of us and pull out a fish. For the price, the cabin was "average" for being cleaned and well maintained. The River House is rustic & we felt it was in need of some face lifting as the deck & some other things were showing their years. The grill didn't work & had not been cleaned in recent memory. The bathtub/shower next to the first two bedrooms was an old tub on an elevated platform without grab bars. The tub bottom was not flat. We felt that could stand some attention from a safety standpoint. The bed in the master bedroom was not a "King" as our son & daughter in law reported it was short for them. The house keeper, Laurii. got back to us when we had questions about the loss of power from a scheduled black out we didn't know was coming. In spite of these few short comings our stay was memorable. The bottom line is we would go back again!

  We rented the cabin for a little over 1 week. The cabin is an older cabin but very nice. The hot tub was excellent on the back porch, right next to the river. The cabin is fairly close to adjacent neighbors but still felt secluded. The cabin had all amenities that we needed. We were able to cook for most meals at the cabin. There was refrigerator, freezer, stove, and cooking utensils supplied. There was also washer and dryer that made it nice to do laundry. The cabin was close to Bridge Street if you wanted to walk for food or drink. There was a for sale sign in front so hopefully it remains a rental property as I would like to return.

  We come up to Red Fish Lake and Stanley every year for a family reunion. This year we rented this River House and were extremely happy we did. Great views, comfortable home with lots of privacy inside and out, plenty of parking for our family get togethers on the deck, great hot tub on the deck overlooking the river, close to events and attractions through the whole area, and the list goes on and on. The property managers check in on us once to make sure things were okay and then left us to our fun. We have stayed in several places and this is one we will definitely stay at again.

  We have stayed at the Riverhouse multiple times and have never had a bad experience. The house is well maintained and always ready for our arrival. It is the perfect location for accessing the Sawtooth Recreation Area. Love, love, love the Riverhouse.

  We first stayed at this home for our honeymoon and over the years keep coming back to the beauty and convenience of the Riverhouse. We have brought several friends with us and all enjoy the flexibility the accomodations offer for sleeping arrangements. The deck is spectacular in the sun or the snow and we hope to continue to visit the Riverhouse and Stanley. The owners are easy to work with and the house is always ready for our arrival. Thank you!!

  Three couples enjoyed their comfortable stay at the Salmon River Cabin. We had plenty of room and we all loved the hot tub. We did quite a bit of relaxing and doing a lot of nothing. It was clean and all was in good repair. We highly recommend it.

  As longtime visitors to Stanley, we have stayed at a number of different places, including campgrounds, hotels and cabins. The Riverhouse is hard to beat, because it combines direct access to the Salmon River with a view, if only from the deck, of the magnificent Sawtooth Mountains. During our September visit, the deck was where we spent most of the time we weren't in the mountains themselves. With the river flowing a few feet from it, lots of space and a fairly new, properly functioning spa, it's a grand space. The house itself seems a little dark, especially in the living room, but only in comparison with the great outdoors. The master bedroom is much lighter, and quite large, however. The kitchen is well outfitted, and the large lot provides for plenty of private space. If I owned a house in the Stanley Basin, I would want it to be like this one.

  Everything was fine. The only "downside" is that it was a long walk or a short drive to get to Stanley, where most of our activites took place.

  The cabin was the perfect location for our annual family vacation with our daughter, son-in-law, and their three children (ages 7 -13). There were plenty of beds for everyone. The cooking facilities were excellent and the hot tub was an added treat. We also appreciated the fact that pets were welcome. We have already reserved the cabin again for this summer.
