Idyllic

This property is perfect for the get-a-way from it all feel. It was private, large space for outdoor enjoyment, tranquility of the river and just the right size cabin. The living room is a tad small but everything else is perfectly sized for the right necessities. Check in was easy and super friendly. This was our second visit and we can't wait to return again!

Our three-night stay, despite the rain, was just what we needed to unwind. The secluded location was perfect for a peaceful getaway with our dog, who especially loved having water access and space. The cabin itself was well-appointed with everything we required for a comfortable stay, including a great selection of games. The only minor issue was the goose and their poop, but the comfortable accommodations and overall relaxing atmosphere more than made up for it. We're hoping to return sooner than later!

Relaxing vacation

Staying at the Little moose cabin was so relaxing. Every day we enjoyed sitting on the dock by the river, it was one of our favorite things to do. We went to several close by waterfalls. They are a must see. We also traveled to Canada one day.

About the host

Hosted by Butch Short

Host profile image

We have owned and operated an outdoor store "Far-North Outfitters" in Bonners Ferry for 28 years, through out those years we have had many inquiries, as to if there was a log cabin on the river for rent, since we knew of no actual log cabins, right on the river, we set out to find the perfect spot ( took 5 years ), and build one ( 2 more years )..... And now, is completed and ready to be relaxed in....

Why they chose this property

I chose this spot specifically because it's right in the middle of all the things we did with our 4 daughters growing up in the 80's.., floating the Moyie River, Hiking to Copper Creek Falls, swimming in the pools, picking huckleberries up Deer Ridge, fishing at Robinson and Sinclair Lakes, having dinners at Fiest Creek Resort, feeding the huge trout in the pond etc... Because of the beauty and uniqueness of Far-North Idaho , We wanted to share this with others as well as always having a place, no matter what crazy place they end up, that they can come back to , to reground , and to share with their children.
