About this property

North Fork River Escape

2024 Steelhead Season starts in October Idaho Fish & Game will set exact dates! Welcome to our 4 bedroom 2 bathroom (5 Beds) family retreat with views of the Clearwater river, 1 minute from public boat launch. If you fish you can walk to the best spot on the river to catch epic steelhead: SEPT-APR, or Chinook Salmon Fish APR-JUN depending on fish returns. Spring time brings Kokanee salmon to the surface in April, and rod busting small mouth bass for the taking, this is a little known gem of our location. Ask and I will tell you, honesty is the best policy!

Don't want to fish, take a hike on our extensive Army Corp trail system. How about a short 5 minute drive to the Dworshak Reservoir ski, boat and enjoy our Idaho wilderness!!!!

ANNUAL STEALHEAD DERBY THANKSGIVING WEEK!

Check out our small historic communities for spring/summer/fall/winter activities through our local chamber of commerce:

Great Place to Stay - What a Find!

Beautiful Cabin though the entrance was a bit tricky to find. Very private, serene location on the river and excellent proximity to Orofino! We were here with lots of family for my son's wedding and didn't have a lot of time in the cabin but it was very spacious and comfortable, with a big TV (not used), nice gaming area for the kids and also good phone service (thankfully, because there was no Wi-Fi). I would definitely rebook this home for our next trip and highly recommend this property for anyone looking for a clean house, lots of parking, great access to the river with tons of amenities for all the family, and great hosts (responsive & easy communication).

Great base

4 guys used this property for fishing the Clearwater and other rivers. It worked out fine for us. Very clean and large with comfy beds. The kitchen had everything one would need. We did not use the TV but did the BBQ and it was great! The owners were very attentive to one small problem and resolved it quickly and to our satisfaction.

House was perfect!!

We actually stayed here twice in less than a month because the house was so perfect for our needs. It was clean (and we are picky!) and check in was super easy. It is very quiet and close to the river. The deck was great for a BBQ.The host was amazing and very responsive. We really enjoyed our stay and plan on staying again many times.

Family Time

Parents/grandparents with 2 sons/spouses and children with temps at 107 degrees. It was cool and comfy outside, the fishing was fantastic at Isabella Landing, the bbq worked well. The place was well-prepared for almost everything. We did lose power one day for 5 hours during a very hot afternoon but were well cared for by Guy. Lovely 5 days.

Fantastic VRBO!

Highly recommend! The owners are very nice people, down to earth, and provide a welcoming vrbo. The location and room will be tough to beat. The house has a local decor with room for a large group but consists of a layout that makes it enjoyable to be together. Nice big kitchen and common areas are great for meals and camaraderie. We’ll be back!

Steelhead Fishing

The house was great, very clean and as advertised. The hosts made sure to check on us upon arrival to make sure we didn’t need anything. The weather changed the week we were there and the fishing turned off, but that’s fishing. Aka in all a great trip. I would recommend this place to anyone going to Orofino

Amazing Gathering Place

We needed a place for my husband, myself and family coming to visit from out of the area. This home filled that need in spades. With four bedrooms and enough beds to sleep ten PLUS a spacious kitchen/dining area and adjoining living room space, it’s hard to imagine any other place would have filled our needs any better. Everyone slept comfortably in the cozy beds provided. The kitchen floor plan accommodated meal prep with many hands pitching in for the final result. The dining table seated ten comfortably with overflow seating and occasional tables in the living area providing any overflow for extra visitors. The gaming area was a bonus, although we did our gaming in the living room, sharing many laughs. I would rent this property again! Oh, it rained most of our stay but the spaciousness easily prevented cabin fever with all the space it provided. All the guests commented on what a blessing this place provided for making wonderful memories.

About the host

Hosted by Guy & Amy Clancy

Host profile image
As an Idahoan, I don't take any of our States resources for granted each sunrise is a gift and every sunset gives you a piece of mind. I am a Wildland Fire Fighter, who is an outdoor enthusiast when I am not working. I explore our historic communities to the fullest.

Why they chose this property

The Clearwater River is a World Class destination for Stealhead fishing, we were fortunate enough to find our cabin on one of the best stretches of fishable water, by boat or short hikes to the controlled down stream flow of the Dworshak Dam. Not to mention the wildlife around the cabin and monster small mouth bass in the Dworshak Reservoir! Don't sell yourself short coming to our State we have too much to list, depending on your travel plans and ability. I got a few tricks and maps that will surely take your breath away!

What makes this property unique

Boat launch infront of our house, yes it can be busy so you are in control of what time you get up, and get out there. Don't forget to get back to the house for dinner!
