Beautiful in every way. ! It's a very special place and well cared for. Suzie is a very kind host! We loved it!!

Great place to stay and Suzi was so nice! Made sure that we were taken care of and that we had directions to get there. We would definitely stay again.

Very nice, clean unit. Just north of Challis. Easy to find. Quiet. Simple access off the highway.

Our one night stay is sure to be one of our favorite memories from our Western USA trip. The location took our breath away and would come again.

We enjoyed staying at this quiet cottage in a lovely, scenic setting. It was very comfortable, we would stay there again

Suzi met us in the driveway, made us feel very welcome and even gave us tips on local eateries. The place was better than the pictures and was very clean. We were well accommodated and couldn't have been happier with our stay. The views around the property are beautiful too!

I stayed at River Rock Spa while I was in town for a wedding and the views were absolutely incredible. It was such a cozy, relaxing retreat and I felt like I was at home. Suzi is an excellent host!! Would stay here again. Highly recommend!

We had a great time! Everything was just right!

Neva was an amazing host. She had everything set up perfectly. There were little snacks ready for us. Her dogs were cute and friendly. The surrounding was super cool and beautiful. She has horses, cows, goats, etc. The house is driving distance from a couple of hot springs.

You may wonder why we are writing another review for the same accommodations we had three days earlier. Easy, originally we had planned to move further north after spending three days with Key and Eric in Challis, but the reports of smoke from the wildfires up there forced us to change plans. Rather then finding a place to stay elsewhere in Idaho, we "extended" our stay in Challis. That should tell you everything you need to know about how we rate our stay with this young couple. (And they never made fun of our ages or the fact that we're from New Hampshire!) We will visit them again next year.

Challis is spectacular and the view from Kety & Eric's place is nice. We were only their second guests so they have some minor wrinkles to iron out. The space being rented is the downstairs area, which is nice and big -- nice kitchen especially. The hosts are friendly and welcoming. It's not luxurious but more than adequate. We had a good visit and recommend it.

Apartment is as described, and don't be at all put off about it being in the "basement." It's a walk out/walk in apartment with plenty of light - dry, comfortable and spacious (more room than we need). The views from their property are wonderful (although smoke from recent wildfires to the west have cut visibility some), with nothing but wide-open country to gaze upon (as shown in their listing photos). Kety and Eric are in the process of renovating the apartment to make it even nicer, but everything is functional. They are a delightful couple and full of great stories if you invite them to "chat." At Eric's suggestion we've visited a number of local establishments (restaurants) and sites, such as the historic mining ghost town, Bayhorse, and the Yankee Fork Gold Dredge, near Sunbeam. Also, Eric told us about the "Custer Motorway," a historic route from Challis to Sunbeam, that passes through some of the area's most scenic country. It is a dirt/gravel road (FR 070/Mill Creek Rd. starting in Challis), but in excellent condition and easily traveled with any vehicle. (We took our Prius on it - no problem.) The summit is at 8800' (more-or-less). Unfortunately we were turned back about half-way along the road, shortly before reaching Custer, because a wildfire had approached a bit too close for comfort (about a mile from the road). Haven't had a chance, yet, to check out any of the local "hot springs" in which to soak our tired bones and achy muscles, but we will.

This is a great venue. Our group was hiking Mt Borah and this house was great. 30 minutes from trail head. Our group of 6 was very comfortable in this house. The town itself was a bit disappointing as far as availability of fresh produce at the local store but the house made up for the inconvenience.

Kathy's house was perfect for our stay in the valley! Close to my favorite hot springs, hiking and everything outdoorsy! The house was super clean, comfortable, and had everything we needed!

Thank you for the 2 nights in this nice house. It was very pleasant, calm and with a nice and fresh garden (with deers coming on the evening!!). This house was our base to observe the "Great Eclipse" with our 3 children. The rooms are spacious and well decorated, each one has is own style. The house is very well equiped and confortable.

Very nice , clean home.

Everything was very nice and clean and cutely decorated!

This adorable home was near everything in Challis, ID and owls and deer frequent the vicinity, so there was great wildlife too. Highly recommended.

We had a great stay at the blue cottage. The location is perfect, the place was clean and comfortable, and they even had a high chair! The upstairs rooms got pretty warm, but the a/c units worked really well, though a bit loud. The yard was perfect, big, nice grass, and fully fenced, great for our two year old.

This place was awesome! the pictures accurately show what you'll get. The place was clean, and tidy, well supplied with things to cook and other kitchen things. The beds are comfortable, and the decoration is nice. Would go back anytime.

Three things about this listing. All exceptional and not necessarily in this order. First, the location -- Challis and the area are staggeringly beautiful. Second, the accommodations -- every detail thought through, immaculate, spacious and graced with a view of the Salmon River. Third, the host -- Barb is simply a kind person, hospitable in every way and having the best of the vision of helping someone feel cared for. She went out of her way to help us deal with the aftermath of hitting a deer and destroying our rental car. The listing was exactly like it said. A great place to stay!

Barbara is a wonderful host and we enjoyed our stay tremendously! The house has the most beautiful setting on the Salmon river and has everything you need to ensure that you are comfortable and happy! One of the best AirBnB experiences ever!

Great place, super location right on the river! Very spacious clean and comfortable, and super host. All good!

Barbara was a true delight. She provided every possible thing we could have wished for from: baked oatmeal breakfast,juices, yogurt, popcorn, s'more ingredients, washer/ dryer, laundry detergent, bath toiletries, etc.the view is unbeatable. The Salmon River can be seen while still in bed and from other rooms and the patio,too. We joined her and her family at the fire circle for s'mores and had a lovely visit with her before leaving. We actually stayed an extra night since one was available. We'd love to stay a month. Delightful all the way around.

Without question the BEST experience we have ever had using Airbnb. From the onset, Barb was warm and welcoming and made every moment of our experience memorable. Her home is just beautiful and proved to be plenty of room for three adult males. Additionally, it overlooks the gorgeous Salmon river and hillside with active wildlife and relaxation basically at your fingertips. We actually hiked nearby Mout Borah earlier in the day, so Barb was gratious enough to give us her own supplies for our climbing injuries (including a full bottle of Aloe Vera for my sunburn :>). We also were able to take advantage of her bonfire pit and she even joined us outside later in the evening for stories and laughs. Lastly, she had prepared an unbelievable breakfast for the following morning, which was so good I actually needed the recipe from her! Overall, couldn't have asked for a better time. All three of us really enjoyed the evening, and we can't wait to hopefully visit again. We not only met a great host, but also a great friend along the way! Thanks Barb

Fantastické! Vřele doporučuji! Krásné místo, krásný dům, Barbara je skvělá. Půjčila nám kruhy na splouvání řeky. Všechno nám ukázala, poradila, cokoliv bylo třeba. Upekla skvělé koláče k snídani. Přesto soukromí.

Barbara was such a wonderful host. She truly meets all of your needs with everything she has provided in the apartment. She has thought of every little detail. The apartment was very nice and very clean. The view/backyard with the river is breathtaking. Would definitely stay there again if we ever go back to that area!

Marvelous accommodations. Beautifully decorated with an airy, open feeling. We enjoyed the patio and sitting around the fire pit, listening to the Salmon river. Everything was provided that you need for a luxurious stay. Barbara is a very gracious host.

If you're looking for a good place to stay in the desert mountains, this is right up your alley. It's definitely off the beaten path, but it was surprisingly a lot easier to get to than expected. As for the property itself, the ranch is everything that was expected and then some. It's a little old-fashioned, but I enjoyed staying there. Lots of dishes to use, movies to watch, places to hang hammocks outside, etc. I'd stay again if I were in the area.

This was a great base for exploring the area. The cabin was very clean and comfortable. We would absolutely stay again.

Fantastic, quiet get away for me, my husband, and our two year old. Very quiet. Beautiful views. Great home. It was IMMACULATE and very well kept.

This is a beautiful, convenient, well maintained, and charming home. We were so amazed to be in a quiet, peaceful setting--yet still have wireless and a land line available. If we are staying in the area again, we will definitely rent this home.

A lovely retreat just 30 minutes from Stanley and the Sawtooths. This authentic Mongolian yurt is nestled against a beautiful hillside and despite being near the highway, is wonderfully quiet. It's important that you bring everything you need except for bedding and water as it is completely off of the grid and doesn't include cooking facilities, lights, etc. Think of this as a camping experience, but in a clean and spacious yurt with comfy beds. The hosts couldn't have been more gracious!

Authentic, clean, peaceful, great hosts top the list.

You'll be harassed every day from morning to night. We were shown family history studies and asked very aggressively what we had done each day in pointless detail. The inside of the yurt is filthy. We are covered in bed bug bites.

Jolene and Marshall are very generous hosts and can guide you to the area's best hikes and hot springs. The yurt is cozy with comfortable beds, hand painted Mongolian furniture, and a fairly large surrounding deck. The night sky is incredible out there. Bring your own cook stove and equipment.

This is a fabulous apartment! My only regret is I couldn't stay longer. Salmon is a wonderful town - so even if you don't have plans to be there, change your plans! And the apartment feels like a spa - from the wood finishings, to the bathroom, I felt completely relaxed. And the best part was Susan, the host. You have to visit her downtown store, and if you have the chance spend time relaxing with her! I wish I could give this place even higher praise. I look forward to coming back!

Want a beautiful apartment to stay in with a beyond gorgeous view? Well this is it. To top it off there is wi-fi, cable tv, and a fully stocked kitchen. The hosts, Susan and her husband, are wonderful people and go above and beyond to make sure their guest's are comfortable.

Cordia has a cozy house right close by the river...close enough to hear its whispers from the porch accompanied by coffee in the morning or wine in the evening. The house itself is as neat as a pin with lovey wood paneling and very comfortable beds. Nice wood burning stove should you be visiting in the winter. And Cordia was a great host! Very responsive and helpful.

Great little quiet location. Cozy as advertised!

Very charming vintage cottage near down town and practically river front. The great room/kitchen area was very cool. Missed a TV but it wasn't a deal breaker with nice internet. Walking distance to a brewery that had great food. Beds were very comfortable.

This is a great place to stay in Salmon Idaho. Excellent location, lots of space, well-equipped kitchen, and very cozy. We would have liked to use the wood stove but the heater worked very well in the cold weather. Great to have wifi but it would be nice to have cable TV too. Nevertheless, we really enjoyed our stay here and would definitely recommend it.

Old fashioned, cozy cottage with wonderfully comfortable beds, and fall asleep to the sounds of the Salmon River. The neighborhood is so quiet for being in a town. Deer frequent the yard that is beautiful landscaped. Easily walk to Main Street to restaurants and coffee shops or to entertainment at the city's island park. Great place to stay!

A lovely home situated very close to the Salmon River, you can hear it running at night, which is nice. Very close to several places to eat in Salmon, easily within walking distance. Great bedrooms, well stocked kitchen, and lots of room for a cozy little cottage!

Right near the heart of Salmon, easy walking distance to anywhere in the town. It's quiet, relaxing, and we truly enjoyed the escape of our busy lives to this quiet cottage in a laid-back town. Definitely coming back sometime!

Quaint, older home, well stocked, and conveniently located.

Very relaxing to sleep next to the crackling fire after a day at the hot springs. Margaret and Mike are very hospitable and fun to talk to. The kitchen and bathroom in the house are clean and welcoming. The gazebo was a little crowded, not much walking room. I would recommend no more than 3 people staying there at a time. The bedding was clean and comfortable enough, and their dogs are really sweet and fun to pet!

Margaret and Mike are great hosts. I felt very welcomed right away, and while they are very friendly and accessible, they also respected my space and privacy. They were very accommodating, and made adjustments to make my stay more comfortable. Nice touches such as turning on the electric blanket on the bed before I arrived back to the gazebo at night,and sharing fresh, homemade kale chips and delicious bread baked from the local bakery really made my stay special. The dogs are very sweet and affectionate. I enjoyed their company while sitting on the patio drinking coffee.

Mike and Margaret were terrific hosts. The yurt/gazebo was a great place to relax after a long day and Margaret even made us a full breakfast in the morning. I would highly recommend to anyone visiting Salmon!

Mike and Margaret's place was wonderful. My girlfriend and me really enjoyed the unique experience of staying in the gazebo. It was clean and very comfy. Mike and Margaret were great people and we even got the great privilege to enjoy breakfast with them. We would welcome the opportunity to stay with them again. Highly recommended to anybody looking to stay at Mike and Margaret's place. Oh and they have the kindest little dogs.

Nice, quiet location. Very comfortable and cozy bed.

Delightful first experience in the gazebo of this great, clean and welcoming airbnb. Wonderful hosts with a big heart. Delicious breakfast. Good tips to spend the day in around Salmon. We hope to be back one day, Mike and Margret, we won't forget you!

First of all I would like to say that my Dad and I totally lucked out staying with Margaret and Mike in the Yurt. They took our reservation within minutes and we showed up at their door an hour later. Super friendly people we felt like family there. The Yurt itself was a total chill space. A Futon and air mattress. Were perfect for us to crash on and the massage chair was a perfect remedy for all the road tripping we had done that day. I am very grateful for having stayed there and meeting Margaret and Mike was an amazing experience.

Margaret was waiting for us and immediately showed us around the yurt, house and yard. She and Mike made us feel very comfortable and were very interesting people. Breakfast was fantastic, homemade jam,great bagels from the local bakery(don't miss it) and fresh eggs from the chickens. Their sweet dogs greeted us as well as their goats. Truly a lovely experience.
