About Warm River Cabin

Warm River Cabin is located less than 20 miles from Ashton, Idaho, at Warm River Springs. An Idaho fish and game hatchery operated here from the 1930s to the 1950s. The cabin was formerly the hatchery manager's house. It was constructed by the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) in 1938. The cabin is open year-round and can be accessed by car in the warmer months. Snowmobiles and cross-country skis are required to access the cabin on a groomed trail from early December through mid-May. The trek from the nearest available parking at Bear Gulch Trailhead to the cabin is 6 miles. Guests should be prepared to bring much of their own gear and supplies to make their stay comfortable.

Another delightful and relaxing time at the cabin. They did some minor upgrades, the most notable is having curtains in the rooms! They are adorable. There wasn't a lot of activity when we were there but we didn't arrive til evening on Sunday and Monday wasn't very busy at all. There were new games that other guests must've gifted. Overall, another electronic free experience. Looking forward to next year. Hopefully they restock the wood, as it is getting low.

Lots of visitors during our 7 day rental. 50+ on one day. Both tours and individuals. Planning on bringing a barrier to let folks know it's a rental... maybe a sign?
Still fun and plan to return.

Beautiful location and easy to get there. This was unfortunate because tuns of people basically walked through the front yard. Cabin is rustic but a nice space. There was a basement full of fire wood that was moldy and nasty. It was way too busy with other people for me and not the outdoor experience we were looking for.
