About this property

Remodeled Farmhouse near Silver Creek for fly fishing and Craters of the Moon

Welcome to Grandpa Boyd and Grandma Lois's house aka BoLo.
This remodeled charming farmhouse is located within minutes of Silver Creek world class fly fishing, Craters of the Moon National Monument, great hiking, and other outdoor recreation. The house is fully furnished to make your stay easy and relaxing. We hope you enjoy your stay in BoLo Bungalow.

Updated with brand new air conditioning and central heat, fast fiber optic internet, and kayaks available for adventuring on local waterways.

Things to do near Bolo--up Little Wood River Road is hiking, camping, fishing, water sports and all around beauty. Eight miles over the hill to Picabo, ID sits the famous Silver Creek known for some of the finest fly fishing in the country and has beautiful gin clear water. If skiing or mountain biking is your thing, then head over to Baldy Mountain and Sun Valley Resort.

We are within a few hours driving distance to some of the best National Parks, Craters of the Moon National Monument, Grand Teton National Park, and Yellowstone National Park. Not to mention quite a few state parks--City of Rocks National Reserve, Castle Rock State Park, Ashton to Tetonia Trail with the majestic Mesa Falls, Henry's Lake State Park, Lucky Peak State Park, Thousand Springs, Malad Gorge, and Shoshone Falls.

Our little town is nestled in between the Sawtooth, Pioneer, and Lost River Range Mountains with Borah Peak (Idaho's tallest peak) just over an hour away. We are truly central to almost every type of recreation imaginable. We hope you enjoy your stay.

Other things to note
The house sits on a large lot on the edge of town but is within city limits and does have neighbors.

There are a few restaurants nearby, 93 Grill (11-8pm closed Winter) in Carey, Picabo Angler (8-3pm), and Fuego @ the GCC (Th-Sat 2-9pm) in Gannett. We do have a small grocery store/greenhouse (Itty Bitty Farms) but the closest major grocery store is 25 minutes away. With notice, I can pick up any special grocery items you may want.

We also run a kayak rental and transport business called Silver Creek Kayaks (www.silvercreekkayaks.com) We would love to transport some kayaks to Silver Creek or Little Wood Reservoir and let you enjoy the beautiful scenery as you float.

A great place to stay for local fishing and sightseeing. A quiet little town. House is very nice inside. Take your camp chairs to the back lawn in the evening - you have a view of farms and mountains. Very relaxing stay!

Touring the area

We enjoyed this little country stay. New upgrades were being done to the outside, (a privacy fence,) will add to its charm.

My family loved this stay for my 30th birthday. This was an excellent place right next to Little Wood that we took advantage of. We were all impressed by it

Silvercreek and farm life

We loved our stay at the BoLo. Wish we could’ve stayed longer than a night. It’s out in the farmland of Idaho which has a special and unique beauty. We rented kayaks and floated the Silvercreek as well which was a special and fun experience. This is the perfect place to escape the busyness of life and relax in the beauty of God’s creation.

Amazing Light

This place is super cute. It's an old farmhouse that has been lovingly remodeled. We adored the original parts that were kept intact while providing modern conveniences. The light that streams in the windows is stunning at both sunrise and sunset. And the tea choices were so appreciated. My kids loved the homemade cowboy cookies. This was a convenient place to see Craters of the Moon and some of Idaho. We got a laugh over the national parks posters on the walls.

Nice stay

We are a party of four, two grandmas and two grandkids, who stayed at the Cary farmhouse for four nights in July. The house was perfect for our needs; spacious, providing both personal space and gathering space. The kitchen was well stocked for making meals. The house was clean and comfortably furnished, beds included! We were in the area primarily for a school reunion but also visited Craters of the Moon, Shoshone Ice Caves, and Silver Creek Preserve, all easy drives from the house, and worth visiting. Ember, the host, was a good communicator, letting us know to buy groceries before arriving and responding to questions quickly. We enjoyed our stay and would stay again.
