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.

What Guests Are Saying

Warm River Cabin offers a cozy and well-stocked retreat in a serene location, perfect for outdoor activities like cross-country skiing. Recent upgrades, including new curtains and games, enhance the charm of the cabin. However, visitors should be prepared for a busy environment with many people nearby, and it's advisable to bring essentials like water, bug spray, and a sign to indicate it's a rental.

Wonderful experience at the cabin in late May. The cabin was in the most beautiful setting with the spring coming out from the mountain directly next to it. Mule deer spent the mornings and evenings out in the spring. The cabin was well maintained but the roads were not. Our Land Rover made it without issue, but had we not had it or another Jeep-like vehicle, we wouldn't have been able to reach the cabin due to the water crossings. In four nights, we only had 3 other vehicles make it back to the cabin. In the surrounding area, we found elk, moose, sandhill cranes, and Osprey. We will book this cabin anytime we are in the area!

Clean and spacious. Good fishing (Brook Trout), beautiful location. Had a young black bear visit but was easily run off. Very active with daily visitors.
