About this property

Great Place to Get Away to!

This cabin is very cozy, nicely decorated and feels like a dream mountain retreat. This is a beautiful and wonderful remote spot in the Idaho Mountains with fishing, snowmobiling, hiking and quading just waiting for you to expierience it. Anderson Ranch Reservoir is a few miles down the road with boating, fishing and swimming. There are also nature's hot pots (Baumgartner Hot Springs is up the road a bit and hot springs are also located along the river by the Johnson Bridge.
The outdoor fire pit is waiting for you to roast marshmallows and cook hot dogs. Roasting sticks are in the cabin. Maybe you'll be lucky and a beautiful buck or doe will come to see what you are up to. At dawn and dusk sometimes Deer and Elk wander by the cabin. It's fun to watch all of nature just out the front door.
In the winter there are miles and miles of groomed snowmobile trails. You can drive in and snowmobile out from our cabin. You can snowmobile north to Rocky Bar (a ghost town) and then head towards Atlanta or loop back past the Trinity Lakes at 9,000 ft in elevation. So many sites are breathtaking and a beauty to behold no matter the season. It's a wonderful place to use your photography skills and take family pictures to treasure forever.
If you don't have the 'toys' (i.e. quads, motorcycles, boats, wave runners, etc) there are many things to do and see close to home or if you like to explore further you can drive up past Rocky Bar to Atlanta or to the Trinity Lakes - or take a drive through the mountains to Sun Valley or Boise via the back roads. Try your luck at panning for gold in the rivers if you want to or have a picnic under the soft pines near the mountains and lakes.

Come and experience the mountains!

THEMED DECORATED ROOMS
Our cabin is decorated with items from around the world and near home in the mountains, things that make us feel at peace, calm and happy. Each of the main rooms (bedrooms and living areas) have themed decor, this makes for a fun and memorable experience

The Living Room is called 'THE FOUR SEASON RETREAT 'and is a comfortable place to gather with family and friends for talks and laughter around the warm and cozy wood stove. The couches are deep and soft with pictures and decorating items depicting nature in all its' seasons and wonder. There are battery lite candles for your ambiance in the deep window sills

The Family Room is a large Loft and and entertainment area and is called 'NATIVE VOICES' and a place to relax and chat or watch movies. This area makes a great teenage hangout and is decorated with Indian rugs and baskets. From Africa we have wall hangings and woven art and hats, there are lots of hand painted leather pillows and carvings in ebony and stone from Egypt along with a lot of personality. This is also where I exercise and there are many DVD's for that purpose.(This room also has 3 couches that can be made into hide-a-beds, there is 1 king, 1 queen and 1 twin size.)

The master bedroom is called 'SERENITY MOUNTAIN' and is decorated with tapestries with mountains and lakes and beautiful original art of the local mountain area. The colors and decor make this a peaceful retreat.

The upstairs bedroom 'BOHEMIAN WANDERINGS' has rich fabric and brightly colored bedspread with a woven wall hanging from a far land and the closet is covered with sheers and beads from top to floor. There are battery operated candles waiting to be used in the deep window sill and local art showing the beauties of nature near the cabin. There is currently a twin bed also in this room that could be used by a parent who needs their little one close at hand.

The last bedroom is a Large Loft area with two queen beds. This room is called 'WILDERNESS DREAMS' The bedspreads have bears and moose and friendly wild animals on them and are cozy and thick with down filling. There are 2 canoe shelves with fun items on them and a bright custom painted mirror. This is a inviting place for a anyone - adult to children to spend time with the people they love the most. Our married nieces and their children loved being up here together. We have also replaced three of our older mattresses this spring (2024).

Mountain Awesomeness

Great place for a buddies weekend dirt bike trip. We were able to ride in/out of trails right from the house Well stocked with all the essentials. Only suggestion would be to comfy up the mattresses and change out some missing light bulbs.

Had a nice stay!

I’m kinda new at renting vacation homes, so I didn’t know that sometimes the owners stay on site. This is one of those places and the owners stayed in the basement while we were there. Just not our cup-of-tea. Also, most of the mattresses need updated, they are not comfy! On a positive note, this place was very clean! And the large covered deck was where we spent most of our evenings, as a group :)

While at the Lakes- Idaho department of game and fish released some trout into both lakes which was great to see. Would/will stay again !

Stay in Idaho

The house was comfortable and well-stocked. While the small town is very remote, the house itself is surrounded by other homes and is on the main road in the area. Different than many of the other VRBO homes in which we've stayed in that the owners live on-site and the house is filled with personal items (food, toiletries, clothes etc). Not bad, just different than expected. Owners had good communication and seemed very nice.

Great stay in Featherville

We had a great time at the cabin in Featherville. Great location, close to the saloon , cafe, and hot springs. Gary was great and very responsive with our initial questions prior to arrival. Definitely recommend this cabin for those who like to cook- plenty of cookware and appliances. The front desk is amazing. It has tons of room for dining and just enjoying the outdoors.

Outstanding Cabin rental!

We had a tremendous stay in the cabin in Featherville, Idaho. The cabin was beautiful and clean and very well decorated. We enjoyed our time there with family for a family reunion. The landscape is gorgeous, the hot springs amazing. It is a beautiful place to escape from the cares of the world. I would highly recommend staying in this fabulous cabin. There were no unwanted surprises. Everything was exceptional. Thank you!

Majestic Cabin in Featherville

The Location of Cabin was Great, only 13 miles from the lake dock... by a nearby Bridge in which the fishing of some sweet trout was caught, and close by a small store and cafe if any necessary items were needed. The towns people were incredible pleasant. The cabin photos displayed were accurate, and the floor-plan very functional for a large gathering. The owners were very helpful and even brought a plate of cookies that were delicious. The main issues we had there was there is entirely too much stuff in the closets and on the counters, not leaving any room for our food or belongings. They stated the water pressure goes on and off, when actually the plumbing system was out and we weren't able to take showers, do dishes, and toilet flushing was used w/buckets much of the time, and no compensation for this inconvenience was reimbursed. When the plumbing is fixed, i would recommend this cabin, fair price, great people, good location, lots of parking, and a CLOSED in deck for pets and smaller Children!!!!! And my mom in law's loved the Large Deck for her coffee in morning and later in day, happy hour!!! The outside grill was terrific, too.

Family Vacation

We stayed recently for the 4th of July weekend. We had a blast. The cabin was larger than it looked on the internet. We had a very large group so this was better than expected. With 5 beds and 3 hide-a-ways we had room for everyone. The large deck also accommodated a few who wanted quiet from those snoring. Each family took a turn at meal prep, and there were plenty of dishes and tools to meet each unique need. A grill was available on the deck. We enjoyed the deck and the coolness of the cabin during the hot days, and the fire-pit in the evenings. There were plenty of spaces to spread out so we didn’t feel crowded. The Boise River is right at the cabin, with several places to access it. It was running low and we were able to canoe for several short trips, giving every family member time on the river. The reservoir was 10 miles away, so close enough. There was a couple of hot springs near-by that were great for ending the evenings in. We also brought ATV’s. There were plenty of places to see on them. The main road doesn’t have a shoulder, but traffic was light and polite so that I enjoyed a bike ride in the morning. A nice quiet golf course is just a mile away. Our hosts Gary and Denise are very gracious. We were greeted with cupcakes after our 7 hour drive, a very thoughtful gift. If you have a need they are happy to address it, from more dishes to help with tools for a disabled tire. I would very much recommend this cabin and its owners for a relaxing or activity filled retreat. I hope to visit again as well.

About the host

Hosted by Cindy Brown

Host profile image
We have been enjoying this area since before we were married. (That was shortly after the crust of the earth had cooled according to our children. . .) We had another cabin just two doors down where we had been coming for a respite from the world for over 30 years but sold that one to simplify our lives a bit. We have lived in the Timbuktu region of west Africa (Mali), Mississippi, Texas, Utah, Idaho and Arizona. This is our favorite spot out of all the places we have lived or visited.

Why they chose this property

Gary's family purchased the cabin in the 1980's. It has been a family treasure since that time. Our family moved quite a bit while the kids were growing up and they thought of the cabin more as home than where ever we were living. We have wonderful memories of the area and want to share them with you!

What makes this property unique

We have set the cabin up with themed rooms and have named them. The main living area is the Four Seasons Retreat, the master bedroom is the Serenity Mountain, the family area is Native Voices, the second bedroom is Bohemian Wanderings and the loft sleeping area is called Wilderness Dreams.

The two bedrooms have queen beds. The Wilderness Dreams loft has two queen beds and there is one queen bed in the Native Voices (front loft) area.
