Yet another wonderful trip and all thanks to WSGS and our lovely forest service people!
I can’t and won’t ever stop raving about this place enough, and I hope this gem is able to stay in the cabin-community for debates to come. We will continue doing our part in keeping this gem alive, and it’s our honor to put in the extra work whenever it’s needed for the upcoming visitors.
Eat your heart out AirBnB ;-)

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.
