If you are looking for rest and relaxation this mountain house is great for that. We 5 friends of 50yrs spent 8 days together at this home and are most grateful to the host. The river is the main attraction where we sat on the back porch and really enjoyed looking at it. The view the atmosphere is just renewing and peace within all of our beings. Thanks again.
Great communication from the host, zero issues checking in. We had an extended family staying, with kids and grand kids and had plenty of room. I definitely would stay again.

Stellar Property! Well manicured, very enjoyable, peaceful, plenty of room to relax, both inside and outside. Comfortable furniture; professionally curated that added elegance and a calming environment. Strong WiFi signal with plenty of mobile phone chargers. Our group was grateful the owner provided propane for the grill and firewood for the firepit, a tremendous bonus. The patio furniture was great too, we enjoyed the river, all day long. And if you want to enjoy the dark sky, with star gazing, this is the place.

This place was amazing. So homey feeling. Had everything you need and more. If I could move there, that’s where I’d want to live. Host had great communication with me. I don’t think I waited even 5 mins for a response. Don’t hesitate to book this place. You won’t be disappointed!

River House slice of Paradise
Love the River House!Kitchen was well appointed with everything one would need. Every room was clean and inviting. Had several BBQs during our stay. Very peaceful sitting on the porch by the river spotting birds. We had nearly a daily visit with an Osprey! Short trip to Idaho City was delightful. Great ice cream store and several quaint shops to visit. And not too far from great Boise restaurants and shops!There’s no better place to stay near Idaho City!
Everything about this stay was perfect. It was clean and quiet. It was by a creek. Tons of wood for the fire pit - we had brought our own but they thought of everything. There was plenty of room to spread out and we never felt on top of each other. Loved it. Core memories were made!
