Bear Creek Ranch is more than a vacation spot — it’s a cherished family sanctuary nestled in rural Idaho. Operated with love by the Burtts and Wallace families, this peaceful 77-acre retreat reflects their passion for nature, community, and simple living away from the hustle.

The Burtts family, with two adventurous kids, and the lively Wallace family, with four children, three dogs, and a flock of chickens, call Bear Creek Ranch their home away from home.

Whether you want to escape everyday noise, share adventures with family, or unwind in quiet nature, Bear Creek Ranch offers the perfect backdrop. Relax on the covered porch listening to birdsong, watch for deer, elk, or turkeys, or gather around the fire pit beneath a starry sky.

Nearby are ATV and hiking trails, birdwatching spots, and places for fishing and picnicking like Laird Park, Great White Pine Campground, and Spring Valley Reservoir.

In fall and winter, hunters will appreciate access to zones 8 and 8A for elk, deer, moose, and more. Winter sports lovers enjoy Palouse Divide Nordic Ski Area nearby for cross-country skiing and snowshoeing.

With a fully equipped kitchen, cozy fire pit, and pet-friendly policy, you’ll feel right at home. Charming towns like Princeton, Potlatch, Moscow, and Pullman are close by, plus historic Lewiston and Clarkston make great day trips.

Why they chose this property

We chose Bear Creek Ranch because of its incredible location—a quiet, spacious 77-acre farm nestled deep in rural Idaho where nature truly feels alive. What we love most about this neighborhood is the peacefulness and the way the seasons paint the landscape with breathtaking beauty.

In spring and summer, the fields burst with wildflowers and the air fills with birdsong. Walking through the pastures or hiking nearby trails, you feel a sense of calm and freedom that’s hard to find anywhere else. Evenings are magical here — gathering around the fire pit under a vast, starry sky where stories and laughter flow freely.

Come fall and winter, the scene changes into a cozy wonderland. Snow blankets the ground, inviting sledding adventures and quiet walks through the crisp, fresh air. It’s a place where you can unplug, breathe deeply, and reconnect—with family, friends, and yourself.

The Princeton/Potlatch area is more than just a location—it’s a sanctuary. A place where every visitor can slow down, enjoy nature’s rhythms, and experience the simple joy of being fully present in a beautiful, unspoiled setting.

That’s why we love it here, and why we hope you will, too.
