About Warm River Cabin

Warm River Cabin is located less than 20 mi 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 mi. Guests should be prepared to bring much of their own gear and supplies to make their stay comfortable.

We spent 5 nights here, over the 4th of July. We loved it! The cabin was in great shape, lots of firewood in the basement. Loved the areas, had some great hikes and seen lots of Deer in the water during the nights and mornings. We did get a lot of visitors, which was expected being it a holiday weekend, but everyone was super nice.

While we were renting this cabin, there were people walking all over and around the property. When I told some of them that we were renting that property and asked them to give us space, one lady told me that she wasn’t going into the cabin and that it was public land and that they could walk wherever they wanted around it. So incredibly RUDE!! Maybe there needs to be a fenced off portion to allow for a semblance of privacy?

Also, some animal got into the house through the cabinets in the kitchen and ate through a bag of food we had in a crate and shredded some papers in another crate. Thankfully it didn’t go into any of the bedrooms where people were sleeping. Unsettling to wake up to, however.

The surrounding scenery is breathtaking and I would go back if I had my camper or even a tent to stay in.

This time the cabin was left a lot cleaner. only saw one mouse, we didn't have as many people walking through although one group did try to go through our things, they stopped when I approached them. the cabin is older but great for larger groups, the area is hard to beat. beautiful views, great hike, not amazing fishing but you can give it a try, and dark skies for those who love to star gaze!
