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!
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
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.
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.
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.
