I've been blessed to live and work in such a beautiful and friendly town. I first came to Garden Valley in 1980 as the first woman firefighter on the Garden Valley Helitack Crew, the following year I ventured to California to work on the Arrowhead Hotshot Crew where I met my husband Joe. In 1994, after Joe got out of the Army, we returned to Garden Valley with our 2 young sons. Both of our sons grew up here and graduated from Garden Valley High School and are also Wildland Fire Fighters. I own and operate Garden Valley Properties, and Uncle Billy Bob's Vacation Rentals and I am currently serving as the President again, of the Garden Valley Chamber of Commerce. Joe is currently serving our country once again in Afghanistan.

Diane Caughlin purchased this recreational vehicle in 2015

The most affordable get a way you can ask for! For only $99.90 + tax and cleaning fee, you can have a two night stay in the Mountains by yourself or with your sweetie, or a friend, or whatever! It's a great place for people to have fun, relax and participate in all the recreational opportunities, and we're only 1 hour from Boise.

Crouch is a very small community with in Garden Valley, you feel relaxed just walking around our scenic little village. Across the street and river (from the Glamper) is the community park with nice beach access to the Middlefork of the Payette River. If you're an early riser, you can walk across the Middlefork Rd. and grab a latte or goodies from Wild Bill's Coffee Shop & Bistro, or the "Spot" located in the old Crouch Merc or you can stroll down to the Garden Valley Market. On Saturday's in the summer, we have an open air market between the radio station and the Market parking lot from 9-1. It's a good chance to check out the fresh produce and homemade goodies or visit one of the many shops around town.

On the 4th of July, you'll have ring side seating for all the activities including fireworks and parade. If you've ever been to Crouch for the 4th of July, you know it's quite memorable!
