Lucky Peak is a captivating natural gem, this picturesque reservoir is located only 20 minutes down the road towards Boise.

As you step inside the home, you'll be greeted by a sitting area with leather chairs and a wood stove. Come in further and relax in the spacious and inviting living area with ample natural light streaming in through the large windows. We have two remote working spaces you may utilize if you must work during your time away.

The fully equipped kitchen is a chef's dream, featuring modern appliances and plenty of counter space for meal preparation. Gather around the large dining table and enjoy a delicious home-cooked meal with loved ones or fire up the propane grill on the deck for a memorable outdoor barbecue experience.

The interior of the home has three beautifully appointed bedrooms offering plush bedding on a queen size bed and ample space for a restful night's sleep. The master suite boasts its own private bath with sunken jacuzzi tub, dual sinks and a separate walk-in shower providing a luxurious retreat after a day of exploration.

The focal point of the home is undoubtedly the massively large deck, offering panoramic views of the majestic mountains, where you'll see deer, elk, fox, birds of prey, Eagles and other wildlife. Whether you're enjoying your morning coffee or unwinding with a glass of wine at sunset, the patio provides the perfect backdrop for relaxation and rejuvenation.

What a beautiful area!!! I loved the mountain roads and wildlife. Turkeys for days. The house was nice. It had a strong smell of wood burning fireplace that made it hard to not build a fire myself. The house manager was quick to explain the reason behind cleanliness issues identified. It would have been nice to have had outdoor seating that was easily accessed. The views made the stay!!! I’ll definitely be returning to the area soon.
