Why they chose this property
Why We Chose This Location
We chose this breathtaking location on the Snake River because it offers the perfect mix of adventure, relaxation, and natural beauty. Nestled along the Brownlee Reservoir, our home provides a front-row seat to some of the best fishing, hunting, and outdoor recreation in the Pacific Northwest. It’s truly an outdoor enthusiast’s paradise, where you can wake up to the peaceful sounds of the river, spend the day boating, kayaking, or fishing right off the dock, and end the evening stargazing under the clearest skies you can imagine.
What we love most about this area is its seclusion—away from the hustle and bustle of city life, yet still within reach of towns like Boise, Baker City, and Ontario. The absence of city lights makes for incredible star-filled nights, and the surrounding landscape is a haven for wildlife, from eagles soaring overhead to deer grazing nearby.
This part of the Snake River is also a gateway to Hells Canyon National Recreation Area, offering endless hiking, off-road trails, and world-class fishing tournaments. Whether you're here for adventure or just looking for a quiet retreat with family and friends, this place has a way of making you slow down and appreciate the simple joys of life.
