Thank you for staying at the cabin. We are so very sorry you had trouble getting hot water. I thought we had it resolved after visiting on the app. We just arrived at the cabin this afternoon and the water heater seems to be working fine. I did adjust it a little to get water hotter. But the on demand water heater is 12 yrs old and we have ordered a replacement that will be installed this week.

Mountain cabin in the middle of town

Great cabin for a couple visiting Salmon! Located in the heart of town, but the large lot, fire pit & creek make you feel like you're out in the woods. Visited during the fall so we really enjoyed the gas logs stove.

About the host

Hosted by Ralph and Debra Swift

Host profile image
We are a retired couple who lived in Salmon for 18 years prior to moving to Wyoming for a job opportunity. We purchased the property in 2006 with plan for a retirement home. We decided instead to move to the Boise area to be nearer to the kids and grandkids. We still love the Salmon area and have many friends there. We wanted a place, beyond our camp trailer, to stay when we visit the area and friends. We had an opportunity to buy a log shell from a log home builder in Salmon. We bought it and moved it to the property as our home away from home. We use it mainly in the early spring and late fall.
We both grew up in small towns in Eastern Colorado and still enjoy the small town feeling that Salmon offers but yet it has the amenities of most large towns. Salmon has many outdoor recreation activities that we enjoy as well as restaurants. It has a challenging 9-hole golf course, many scenic areas, parks, river walks, mtn. bike trails and other. We feel Salmon is an undiscovered area that can use a boost from tourism. We decided to open our cabin for visitors to enjoy this beautiful valley and friendly people.

Why they chose this property

Looking for a base for an outdoor vacation without camping? This cabin takes you back to an earlier time but still offers many comforts of home. It provides a place to relax on the deck or sit by a cozy fire. It provides a place to view nature and to dream of how it might have been back in pioneer days. The cabin sleeps 3 comfortably but has areas for young children with a bit of adventure.

What makes this property unique

There is nothing like sitting on the front deck with a cup of coffee or a beer looking out at the Bitteroot Mtns. The large side deck offers a place to gather, grill a burger or steak, and look out over the landscaping and vegetation along the creek. We have used native plants for the most part to landscape in front and off the deck. This is challenging as the deer also like this area and can often be seen along the creek; along with many birds and humming birds feeding on the flowers. It is a great weekend get away or a home base for a week vacation.
