About this property

Mountain Retreat, Spacious Cabin on 2.5 acres, firepit and trails

Escape to this stunning cabin nestled in the mountains of Garden Valley, surrounded by natural beauty and outdoor adventure. Perfect for families seeking a peaceful retreat, our spacious 2600 square foot property offers 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.

Take in the breathtaking views of the surrounding woods through the large windows and explore the private 2.5 acres of naturally wooded backyard, complete with a firepit, multiple trails, and sledding hills. In the winter, enjoy sledding down the hills with the provided sleds and tubes . Or in summer simply relax and take in the serenity of the surroundings. Enjoy a beautiful campfire on a starry night. 4 wheel drive is needed in the winter.

Lots of activities for kids! Foosball table, ping pong have, board games, and a custom made full-size arcade! (with dozens of preloaded classic NES, SNES, and Sega games). We love board games and puzzles, and it comes equipped with lots of both.

The cabin comes with high-speed internet - great for movies and shows on the large flat screen TV. The primary bedroom has an office nook with 2 screens, keyboard and mouse in case you need to get some work in over your stay.

Our property is only a 5 minute walk away from Terrace Lakes Resort, which has a Club House, restaurant, golf course, sledding hill, and hot springs heated pool (great in the winter!).

Our summer favorites:
* A campfire after sunset
* Swimming at Terrace Lakes
* Reading a good book on the deck in the morning
* Ping pong and foosball tournaments
* Summer barbeque on the deck
* Watching outdoor plays at Starlight Theater
* Relaxing in the sunroom with the backyard view
* Stargazing in the backyard after sundown
* Floating the Middlefork river (you can find inner tubes in the garage)
* ATV or dirt bikes the nearby trails (you can rent ATVs in Crouch)

Our winter favorites:
* Sledding in the backyard forest (we have custom designed sledding hills!)
* Building snow caves
* Watching the snowfall from the sunroom
* Cozying up near the pellet stove and reading a good book
* Sledding at Terrace Lakes hill
* Soaking in the hot springs pool at Terrace Lakes

The cabin is equipped with A/C and forced air for heat, as well as a pellet stove for added comfort and warmth. Located close to Garden Valley's many attractions, including hiking, rafting, floating the river, golfing, hotspring pools, snowmobiling, ATVs, cross-country skiing and more, you'll never run out of things to do. Don't miss this opportunity for a truly unforgettable vacation experience.

Now a few house rules. There is absolutely no smoking. Also no pets are allowed at the cabin due to severe animal allergies. Outdoor quiet hours are between 10 PM and 7 AM - please keep our mountain quiet and peaceful during the night! This is not a party house.

We hope you love our cabin as much as we do!
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

The home is great. It’s clean. It’s located well near Terrace Lakes Resort and Crouch. The elevated platform down the trail is really nice. Lots of deer and quail every day. It’s comfortable and our grandsons love all the game tables, video game, and puzzles.

The property far exceeded our expectations! The kitchen is more thoroughly stocked than advertised. Beds were clean, and we appreciated the extra blankets and pool towels. Didn't realize that the pool still had a fee to pay, but it was well worth it! Can't express how great the family room space was. Could use a 2nd TV to create additional hangout spaces!

Beautiful Cabin in a Great Location

The cabin was large, and clean, in a great location. Everything worked fine, the beds were comfortable, and the view was fantastic. Checking in and checking out was a breeze. The owners were positive and prompt in their communications. I can’t recommend this place enough. It was a great experience!

Beautiful cabin and great hosts.

The windows in the cabin were our favorite part of the house. The cabin was clean and well stocked with dishes and kitchen items, so if you’re planning on cooking, it’s ideal. The game room is also well stocked and that was fun for the whole family. We are already thinking about our next trip to this cabin!

Went up with my parents, siblings spouses and kids. Cabin was very spacious and clean. Beautiful large windows and view for enjoying morning coffee. Ping pong table was a hit with us as well as Mario for us 80s babies and my 10 year old. Hosts are very easy to communicate with and fast on responding to any questions. Would definitely go back.

Long Weekend Getaway

We came up for a long weekend and enjoyed our stay at Crouch Cabin. It was close to town when we needed/wanted to run in. The house was great—amazing layout and spaces for all 6 of us to be without being on top of each other. The trails were fun to walk in and the fire pit was great for S’Mores. We loved how quiet it was. The wildlife was so fun! Deer, Elk, wild turkeys, and a family of quail with the most adorable babies. Hosts were quick to reply to any questions we had. We’d definitely stay again!
