No cleaning fees or pet fees! Rustic riverside studio cabin on the Lemhi River. Cross our private railroad car bridge to find your own acre of river front only a 5 min. walk from downtown Salmon. Enjoy peace, quiet and unobstructed views of the Divide & Bitterroots. Cozy and comfortable, this one room lofted cabin is an ideal location to relax and enjoy nature. The kitchen is set up for cooking and books & board games are waiting for you.
The space A stand alone log cabin nestled next to the Lemhi River. The full newly remodeled kitchen is open to the living room where you will find a futon bed, a separate couch and a reading chair and smart flat screen TV. There is also a remodeled bathroom on the main floor, with a spacious modern shoer. Up a steep set of stairs you will find the open lofted bedroom space with a queen bed, bedside tables, closet and tall chest of drawers. Fishing is allowed following state and county requirements. The unique railroad car bridge entrance provides a memorable feature to this little get away. Thanks to the adjacent farmland your views of the surrounding mountains are unobstructed from the porch and front of the cabin. Shade trees abound in the summer and your own private riverfront lawn behind the cabin is ideal for an al fresco dinner. Or stay on the upper lawn where there is a picnic table and charcoal grill ready for use.
Guest access Once you cross the bridge, the cabin is to the right and the entire acre of land on that side of the drive is yours to enjoy. The bridge has a turn before entering and is only 8.5 feet wide, so unfortunately trailers and RV's/5th Wheels will not fit across the bridge. There are mowed lawns on two sides of the cabin and natural landscaping on the remaining space. You will have access to the entire private cabin during your stay. Friendly dogs are welcome to roam off leash while staying. We do have 2 dogs, a cat and some chickens (birds are fully fenced in) also free ranging on the property and who will happily welcome and visit with you during your stay.
Other things to note Make sure to check out the local hiking and hot springs!

This is our first time staying in Salmon and we will be back. Lynn thought of everything. The property is immaculate and walking distance to downtown. If you want peace and tranquility, this is it.
It was a fantastic property and we were able to relax and enjoy the area. Lynn puts a personal touch to the property with how well it is stocked with extras that is not expected. We will definitely be telling our friends and family about it.
