Did Not Want to Leave

This place is unbelievable. From the bedrooms to the bathrooms to the kitchen. Extraordinary. The hot tub was nice. The game room was the best of the entire place. We had so much fun there. Listening to the river roll by our cabin was so peaceful.

True oasis out in the country

Enjoyed the game room, fishing, firepit, river, and kitchen, and rooms. A private property that you probably don’t ever need to leave, but is close to great adventures and activities that might make you leave.

Beautiful house and grounds. Can’t say enough about how the kids loved it, they were sad to leave. Moose visited a couple nights which was a hit. Really a great place to relax and the gated drive way with bridge over the river really created a sense of seclusion. Hoping to come back..

Beautiful Large Log Cabin in Nature's Natural Setting

When we were not visiting West Yellowstone National Park, Jackson Hole and the wonderful scenery of Idaho our five grandchildren enjoyed the "gym". They played ping pong, air hockey and basketball. The wooded island setting with trails is truly beautiful. We enjoyed the hot tub most every evening after our daily sightseeing. This was the most completely stocked VRBO we have ever rented. All ten of us (5 adults and 5 children) were completely satisfied.

Perfect Retreat

We stayed here the night before and following my son's wedding in Idaho Falls and had a family/friends dinner out on the back lawn. The large island in the kitchen was the perfect buffet table. It was such a beautiful, peaceful setting. I wish we had more time to sit and enjoy the river...I guess we just need to go back

Incredible Cabin Retreat

I stayed at the Cabin with my family and it was absolutely wonderful. The hosts’ attention to detail was impeccable and everything was thought of. The entire place was spotless and everything we needed was provided like soaps, towels, extra blankets, etc. would highly recommend this place for anyone considering it for a family retreat.

Great family rental for a group!

This was a great rental for our small family but could have hosted a whole group with big bedrooms and lots of beds on either side of the house. Everything was clean and the property was nice and private surrounded by wildlife (we saw a mama moose and baby) in the river surrounding the property so that was a treat. Close enough in to town to get things you need but far enough out to feel like a cabin in the woods a bit. Beds were comfortable and bathrooms and kitchen were stocked and updated and clean. Host was so nice and responsive to work with...would definitely return!

South Fork River Fishing Trip

The property was exactly as proposed and was the perfect fit for our fishing group! A huge highlight was the quality and responsiveness of communication both prior to check in and throughout our stay. Proximity to numerous sections of the South Fork of the Snake River as well as Sections of the Henry’s Fork made the location idyllic. Already looking forward to next year!

Spectacular House and Grounds

The house is exceptionally clean and well equipped, especially the kitchen. It was so peaceful and pleasant sitting outside with the view of the river and in such a private setting. Kitchen was a great gathering place and plenty of room around the counters. Beds very comfortable! Lots to do in the area and such a beautiful area of the country. Rigby has a very nice supermarket called Broulim's that more than satisfied all our needs. I also recommend The Hygge Day Spa that is less than 10 minutes from the house for a relaxing afternoon. The host is very responsive and helpful. I would not hesitate to rent this house again. It is great when a house exceeds your expectations and this one sure did.

Idaho Island Retreat

My family had a great time at this property! It was very spacious, very clean and had great amenities! The perks included a very well stocked kitchen with every utensil and gadget you could need, lots of space for sleeping, a great hot tub and even plush towels for the hot tub and showers. We look forward to returning in the warmer months so that we can enjoy the creek that runs around the property too. We also enjoyed a short drive to Kelly Canyon for skiing, which was 15 mins away. It’s a great little gem of a getaway!

Fantastic property and incredible stay

Lots of amazing memories were made during our stay at Juniper Island. This property was better than advertised and had something for everyone. Loved the layout - having two bedrooms on each end of the house was helpful for the early risers to not wake up the late sleepers. Kitchen was well stocked and we appreciated having a variety of spices and condiments available. We hosted a bbq for about 25 people of all ages and fit everyone comfortably inside and outside. The property felt private and remote yet is only a few miles from town. We took full advantage of the space - fishing, hiking, hot tub, floating the river, fire pit, lawn games, swinging in the hammocks and enjoying all the seating and deck spaces. Five stars and hope to return again soon.

Paradise in Idaho

We immediately felt the tranquility and privacy of Juniper Island as we crossed the bridge. There is something for everyone here. The inside/outside of this property is so tastefully decorated. Definitely gives off that "WOW" factor around every corner.The grounds were impeccably clean from the mowed yard and trail to the outdoor furniture and all of the gorgeous potted fresh flowers truly emitting a sense of pride of ownership. The seemingly little touches throughout made a BIG and impactful impression! The spaciousness of this home provided comforts beyond expectation. The cleanliness level was off the charts. The kitchen was abundantly stocked. We appreciated all of the seating around the island and that huge sun-lit dining room. Having two refrigerators at our disposal was great! The floorplan of this home is awesome. The beds were all very comfortable and all linens, towels, blankets etc provided for the guests were neatly organized. Lauranna was a delight to communicate with. She was cheerful and helpful with any inquiry I had. During our stay, there was only one issue that I needed to contact her about. It was promptly addressed and resolved within a couple of hours. I feel the bottom line with any review is simple. Would you or would you not likely ever return? Without hesitation, my answer is a resounding "LOVE and HOPE to return". Thanks for providing such wonderful & lasting memories of our Idaho vacation. Sincerely, Sandy Rausch and family
