It felt as though we had the whole forest to ourselves. We walked to Bonneville Hot Springs twice (about 2 mi from the cabin). We enjoyed this comfortable and affordable lodging option. It's a queen-sized bed.

A gem among so many FS cabins that have been neglected.
Wood stove heats it up nicely. Clean and charming.
We intend to come back often.

This was our 4th year now staying here and my family loves it! Next renter, bring a can opener and fresh dish towels, those were the only things missing.

Payette River access is available at two locations: one near the cabin, the other further down the road. Very beautiful turquoise pools, and, when river is low, ability to walk along river’s edge. There are multiple fire rings at each location.
