Great place

It worked really great for us. It was clean and furnished with everything to make it a comfortable stay. The kids enjoyed the board games that were available every night. The host was very accomodating and followed up with a phone call to ensure that our stay was satisfactory. We would definitely stay there again.

Wonderful

Truly a home away from home. Very comfortable, quiet, and clean. Anything anyone would ever need in the kitchen is at hand. The surrounding mountains are just breathtaking. As the sun came up and shone through our window, my wife said, “what a magical moment.”

Felt Like Coming Home

I was working in Swan Valley and it was so nice to have a comfortable home to come back to at the end of the day. As a bonus, the views while sitting on the porch grilling are fantastic! Felt like I was sitting on a little farm with beautiful mountains all around. I grilled almost every night! If I could afford to live in this valley, this is where I'd want to be.

Sweltering near snake river

The whole puroose of us choosing this place was because we needed a place with air conditioning so we could leave the dog for an extended time in her kennel so we could go to places where dogs arent allowed and know that she wasnt overheating (malamutes dont do well in heat). This place did not have air conditioning. I reached out to the host and he said that the house manager was supposed to put it in; then i saw in the journal log of the house that this was an issue back in June too with another guest and knew this problem was not going to get resolved. So we had to cancel our plans (the reasons for being in idaho) and take the dog with us everywhere we chose to go. No one got any sleep due to the heat.The post also says there is a hot tub, there isnt. Not that we planned to use it, but just so you are aware, no hot tub. The place hadnt been mopped in a while, floor was sticky, crumbs everywhere on the floor and in the drawers in the kitchen, dirty dishes. Overall, the place served a good purpose for doing laundry and storing our stuff for a few days while we went around idaho.
