About Avery Creek Cabin

Avery Creek Cabin is located 20 miles northeast of Kingston, Idaho, along Forest Road 208. The fully furnished three-room cabin is adjacent to the North Fork Coeur d'Alene River on the Coeur d'Alene River Ranger District in the Idaho Panhandle National Forests. The cabin was built between 1926 and 1928 to house Forest Service employees needed for administrative supervision and fire protection. It was built from a standard Forest Service plan known as the firemen's cabin. In 1935, a picnic area was constructed by the Civilian Conservation Corps across the road from the cabin and adjacent to the North Fork of the Coeur d'Alene River. In 1940, a bathroom was added in a board and batten shed addition to the cabin's east side, and a rustic log garage was built behind the cabin. The cabin was used for crew housing until 1981. Newly renovated, the cabin is now fully accessible. Avery Cabin's central location along the North Fork Coeur d'Alene River provides easy access to the site. Access to the cabin is along paved roadways, making it an easy destination to reach by car. The cabin is available from mid-May through September, and provides many of the comforts of home. Guests only need to bring a few of their own amenities for an enjoyable stay.

There was plenty of kitchenware-Utensils, dishes, pots, etc. Although the cabin was on a paved road, it was higher and was private with little traffic noise.
Great bicycling On 208 and elsewhere and the Coal Creek Trail is a gem.

We had a good time and love the cabin. Others need to know we had a young bear at the back door, so need to be observant. Also, missed the anarondack chairs that used to be on front porch, but probably removed because of the covid virus.

The Avery Creek cabin is a hidden gem. It was so much more than what I had expected. It's actually quite beautiful and I wish I had been able to spend more than just one night there. It's very quiet, there are zero neighbors. The kitchen is full service, hot and cold running water. Dishes, glasses, cups, utensils. The bathroom has a walk-in shower with hot and cold water! I couldn't believe it! What a find. It is a 1-minute walk across the street and down hill to the river, where I caught some beautiful trout. Bring your own towels, if you wish to take a shower. Also bring sheets and pillows, or sleeping bag. That's really all you need. I have both AT&T and Verizon cell phones and I had no coverage on either. But the fire pit outside was great, as were the metal sticks that we used for s'mores, and the stars were spectacular.

My husband renovated this cabin years ago and we finally had the pleasure of staying here. Everything was wonderful except the weather, but we made due. We love the area and the accommodations were prefect!! We plan on going back whenever we’re able to book it.
