About this property

Mackay Bunkhouse - Beautiful home with large deck right on the Big Lost River

The bunkhouse is a retreat right on the Big Lost River. The huge deck with patio furniture overlooks the river, just feet away. The wood floors and stunning western walls give you a true western feel. Bedrooms, laundry room, and full kitchen. Wi-fi and smart tv help you enjoy your stay, but with the 180 degree views of mountains you will not want to stay inside. The large deck has many places to enjoy the sound of the river close by or for barbequing a meal. Fishing, ATV riding, snowmobiling, hunting, hiking and many other adventures are close by.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

Beautiful house with great location.

We recently stayed at the Mackay bunkhouse for 3 nights and 4 days.The location was amazing. Our days was spent enjoying the view of the mountains and our nights were spent out on the beautiful patio listening to the river. The house was fully stocked.We felt right at home from the décor to the comfy beds.Mike and Theresa were very accommodating and fabulous hosts!

Fabulous experience!

We had an amazing time staying at the Bunkhouse. Everything was as close to perfect as you could get & Theresa was more than accommodating. Inside was well appointed, clean & comfortable. But the star of the property is the wonderful back deck just steps from the river not to mention the 360 degree views of the best mountains Idaho has to offer! Wr definitely plan on returning!

About the host

Hosted by Theresa

Host profile image
We live right on the property so we are easily accessible for questions or directions about the area. We love our clear river and big scenic mountains that surround the 40 acre property.

Why they chose this property

You will be surrounded by mountains and the river flows just feet outside the back deck. It is off the main highway and quiet, yet close enough to drive the short 3 miles to town for a bite to eat, have an espresso or grab some produce from the local grocery store.

What makes this property unique

We have everything at our fingertips. Fishing, ATV trails, hunting, snowmobile riding, horseback riding, hiking, hot pools and more all within short distances. You can ride your ATV, UTV or horse directly from the property and head to any trail. Mt. Borah, Idaho's tallest peak is a few miles away. Hike any of the tallest 9 peaks in Idaho and then soak in the river or relax by the fire afterwards.
